Oral Treatment
Oral treatments offer precise dosing to tackle hair loss. A common concern with higher dose oral treatments is the risk of side effects, but by tailoring treatment to find your minimum effective dose, we can maximise your results and minimise the likelihood of experiencing side effects.
DR N Sokolsky
A custom tablet can be extremely effective in treating all common signs of male pattern balding: Receding hairline, balding at the crown and thinning on top. Although some guys are concerned with associated side effects of an oral solution, side effects are only reported at higher doses in a very small percentage of guys. By limiting the dose of active ingredients to suit the degree of hair loss, we can reduce a patient’s chance of developing any side effects.

HOW HAIR LOSS TREATMENT WORKS
When we lose our hair
DHT (a male hormone) shrinks the hair follicles causing hair to thin and fall out. Called hair miniaturisation, this results in balding
Block DHT
By blocking the enzyme that produces DHT, we prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.
Stimulate growth
Treatments stimulate blood flow which bring oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the hair follicle, promoting longer, thicker hair growth.

FAQs
What type of hair loss do you treat?
We treat the most common type of male hair loss. It’s called Male Pattern Balding (medically referred to as Androgenic Alopecia). This type of hair loss is genetic, but it’s preventable and treatable, so if you’ve started to notice more hair loss than usual, start your online assessment.
Can I use &BAM if I'm already bald?
The best way to treat male pattern hair loss is to treat it early, proactively, and consistently. If you have been bald for a few years, it may not be possible to get great results. A doctor will let you know if your chances of seeing results are slim.
Is there a cure for hair loss?
No, there isn’t currently a cure for hair loss – so watch out for any company claiming they can sell you a “cure.” There are however effective and well-studied treatments available that can slow hair loss or even help you regrow your hair – you’ll just need to chat with a doctor to learn more.

Hair Growth Therapy Alternatives: &BAM's Proven Solutions for Men
Facing hair loss can be a daunting experience for many men, and while hair growth therapy might seem like an immediate solution, it's not always the first step we recommend. At &BAM, we understand the unique challenges of hair loss in men, especially within the South African context. Our approach prioritises clinically proven treatments that go beyond conventional hair growth therapies, offering a more comprehensive solution to hair loss.
We're here to guide you through the maze of options available, focusing on effective, safe, and scientifically backed methods. With &BAM, you're not just treating hair loss; you're investing in a proven strategy tailored for men, ensuring the best possible outcomes without the immediate leap to hair growth therapy.
Understanding Hair Growth Therapy
What is Hair Growth Therapy?
Hair growth therapy encompasses a variety of treatments designed to tackle the problem of hair loss and promote hair regeneration. It's a broad term that could include anything from topical treatments and medications to more advanced techniques like stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments. The goal of these therapies is not just to prevent further hair loss, but also to stimulate the growth of new hair, making it an invaluable solution for many struggling with thinning hair or baldness.
Beyond the generic treatments, our approach at &BAM is tailored. Recognizing that hair loss doesn't have a one-size-fits-all solution, we delve into the unique conditions of each individual's hair loss. During our comprehensive assessment, we determine the specific type and cause of hair loss. With this nuanced understanding, we're equipped to prescribe the most effective treatment plan, customized to each individual's needs. This could range from recommending specialized hair growth serums to more targeted interventions like stem cell hair technology.
How Does Hair Growth Therapy Work?
At the core of hair growth therapy is the principle of addressing the underlying causes of hair loss while stimulating the scalp and hair follicles to promote new growth. Depending on the type of therapy, the mechanisms of action can vary significantly.
Stem cell therapy, for instance, leverages the regenerative capabilities of stem cells to rejuvenate dormant hair follicles. This cutting-edge treatment reactivates the cellular signals necessary for hair restoration, repair, and rejuvenation. It's a prime example of how advanced bioscience has led to treatments that can revive the scalp at a cellular level, encouraging robust hair growth.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy works through a different mechanism. By concentrating the platelets from an individual's own blood and injecting this solution into the scalp, PRP therapy harnesses the body's natural growth factors to reinforce hair follicles and skin tissue. This method has shown promise in increasing hair count, thickness, and growth cycle duration, as evidenced by multiple studies.
Our approach at &BAM means that the choice of therapy is never the first option. Each recommendation we advise is the result of a thorough evaluation, intended to align with the specific hair growth goals and conditions of our clients. We firmly believe that by addressing hair loss from its root—literally and figuratively—and crafting a tailored treatment strategy, we can offer our clients the best possible results in their journey toward hair revitalisation.
Different Types of Hair Growth Therapy
PRP Therapy for Hair Los
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is emerging as a favourite for many. This innovative approach leverages your blood's healing properties to stimulate hair growth and regeneration. By isolating the plasma in your blood and injecting it directly into the scalp, PRP therapy aims to rejuvenate the hair follicles, encouraging new growth and increased thickness.
NHG Therapy for Hair Loss
Natural Hair Growth (NHG) therapy presents another avenue for those seeking to combat hair loss. This holistic approach combines natural extracts, essential nutrients, and advanced techniques to nourish the scalp and promote hair growth from within. NHG therapy’s strength lies in its gentle yet effective formula, making it an ideal option for individuals looking for a natural alternative.
Risks of Hair Growth Therapy
As excited as we are about the potential of these therapies, it’s our responsibility to also talk about the risks involved. Every treatment, including hair growth therapy, comes with its set of considerations. PRP therapy, for instance, may cause temporary discomfort, redness, or swelling at the injection site. Meanwhile, NHG therapy's all-natural approach is generally well-tolerated, but it's crucial to ensure that there are no allergic reactions to its components. We never advise patients to take these risks and prefer to conduct thorough assessments to find more affordable solutions that won’t require the need for you to go in and get any sort of hands-on hair growth therapy. Our commitment at &BAM is to provide safe, personalised treatment plans that align with each individual's health profile and hair restoration goals.
Alternative To Hair Growth Therapy
When discussing hair growth therapy, it's crucial to explore alternatives that might be more suitable for specific individuals. Despite the advancements in treatments like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Natural Hair Growth (NHG) therapies, some of us are on the lookout for different solutions. This desire for alternatives could be due to various reasons, including personal preferences, specific health considerations or even past experiences with hair growth therapies that did not meet expectations.
One significant alternative methodology involves the integration of over-the-counter (OTC) medications. These medications, approved by regulatory bodies like the FDA, can sometimes offer a simpler approach to managing hair loss. For instance, Minoxidil is a widely recognised OTC option that stimulates hair growth and is suitable for men.
Furthermore, advancements in the formulation of hair care products have introduced components like Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1. This compound, derived from natural sources such as oleanolic acid from olive leaves and apigenin, plays a critical role in anchoring hair roots and enhancing the activity of keratinocytes. Products containing these ingredients not only serve as an alternative to more invasive hair growth therapies but also complement existing treatments by providing essential nutrients and support to the hair and scalp.
At &BAM, we understand that each individual's journey with hair loss is unique. That's why our initial assessment is so critical. It allows us to tailor our approach, whether it involves recommending specific hair growth therapies or exploring alternative treatments. Our goal is to ensure that every prescribed solution aligns with our client's specific needs, preferences, and hair restoration goals. By considering both conventional therapies and alternative methods, we strive to offer a comprehensive range of options that cater to the diverse conditions and expectations of individuals facing hair loss challenges.
