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.

&BAM's Hair Thinning Products for Men
Facing hair loss can feel like an uphill battle, especially with the variety of hair-thinning products on the market promising a cure. However, not all solutions are created equal, and for men experiencing hair loss, finding the right treatment is crucial. At &BAM, we understand that each man's journey with hair loss is unique, and that's why we offer tailored solutions that go beyond the typical hair growth serums. Our approach focuses on clinically proven treatments that address the distinct issues men face with hair thinning.
The Science Behind Hair Thinning
Understanding the Hair Growth Cycle
At its core, understanding how hair grows and replenishes itself is essential when discussing hair thinning and the effectiveness of hair thinning products. The hair growth cycle includes several phases: the anagen (growth phase), catagen (transitional phase), and telogen (resting phase). During the anagen phase, hair follicles push out hairs that will continue to grow until they are pushed out or shed during the telogen phase. It's a beautifully orchestrated process that, when disrupted, can lead to hair thinning. Products designed to combat hair thinning often target these phases to either prolong the growth phase or minimise hair loss during the shedding phase.
Causes of Hair Thinning
There are a variety of causes behind hair thinning, each affecting the hair growth cycle in unique ways. Genetic predisposition plays a significant role, where individuals inherit the tendency for hair to thin and eventually lose it. Hormonal changes, particularly those associated with thyroid disorders also significantly impact hair density. Beyond biological causes, lifestyle factors like stress, diet and certain hairstyles can contribute to hair thinning as well. Recognising these causes is critical in developing effective treatments. Hair thinning products aim to address these root causes, offering solutions that not only mitigate hair loss but also promote a healthier scalp environment conducive to hair growth.
By delving into the complexities of the hair growth cycle and the multifaceted reasons behind hair thinning, we gain valuable insights into how to effectively treat and manage this condition. Our approach at &BAM is to assess each individual's unique hair loss journey, enabling us to recommend the most effective treatment plan tailored to their specific needs. This tailored approach distinguishes us in the crowded space of hair thinning solutions, offering hope and tangible results for those navigating the challenges of hair thinning.
Common Hair Thinning Products
Minoxidil
Minoxidil stands out as one of the go-to hair thinning products for those grappling with hair loss. Its application stimulates hair follicles, prolonging the growth phase and potentially increasing the size of hair follicles. This results in thicker strands of hair. Originally introduced for treating high blood pressure, Minoxidil's unexpected side effect of hair regrowth led to its adoption as a topical treatment for hair loss. It's available after a consultation with our doctors as it is a prescribed medication in South Africa, making it an accessible option for many. We've observed that consistent application over 120 days can yield noticeable results, though it's important to maintain treatment to preserve hair gains.
Finasteride
Another cornerstone in the battle against hair thinning is Finasteride, an oral medication known for its effectiveness in treating male pattern baldness at the crown and in the middle of the scalp. Finasteride works by inhibiting the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to hair loss, thereby slowing down and potentially reversing hair thinning. It is FDA-approved and requires a prescription, reflecting its potent action against hair loss. Its benefits are significant.
In crafting our approach at &BAM, we recognise that hair loss is a deeply personal and nuanced issue. We're proud to offer hair thinning products like our specialised shampoos and conditioners that don't require a prescription and are formulated to address the unique needs of individuals struggling with hair thinning. Our belief is that by providing tailored solutions, we can more effectively meet our client's hair care needs, fostering confidence and promoting healthier hair.
Topical vs Oral Hair Thinning Solutions
When it comes to battling hair loss, there's a wide array of hair thinning products available. Understanding the differences between topical and oral solutions is crucial for selecting the best treatment. Let's dive into the pros and cons of each approach to help shed some light on which might be most effective for your specific needs.
Pros and Cons of Topical Treatments
Topical treatments, such as minoxidil, are applied directly to the scalp. They're designed to rejuvenate hair follicles and stimulate hair growth. One of the main advantages of these hair thinning products is their ease of use. They can be incorporated into your daily grooming routine without much hassle. Additionally, they target the hair loss area directly, potentially leading to more effective outcomes for some individuals.
However, topical treatments aren't without their drawbacks. Some users report experiencing scalp irritation, which can be a significant deterrent for continued use. A critical thing to note is that they must be applied consistently for the best results. Skipping applications can hinder their effectiveness, which can be challenging for those looking for a low-maintenance solution.
Pros and Cons of Oral Supplements
Oral supplements for hair loss offer a different approach by focusing on internal factors that contribute to hair thinning. These hair thinning products work systemically, potentially addressing multiple causes of hair loss, such as hormonal imbalances or nutrient deficiencies. The convenience of taking a pill once a day is appealing to many, making it easier to stick to a regimen compared to topical applications.
However, oral solutions come with their own set of challenges. They might interact with other medications or cause side effects in some individuals, like gastrointestinal disturbances. It’s also possible for oral treatments to have systemic effects, such as fluctuating blood pressure, which requires monitoring and might not be suitable for everyone.
By understanding the advantages and drawbacks of both topical and oral hair thinning products, we can make more informed decisions about our hair care routines. Each approach offers unique benefits, and what works best can vary significantly from person to person.
Lifestyle Changes to Combat Hair Thinning
Diet and Nutrition
When it comes to combating hair thinning, we often overlook the profound impact that diet and nutrition have on our hair health. Various studies suggest that certain nutrients can play a key role in maintaining and enhancing hair quality. For instance, proteins, essential for hair strength, should be a staple in our diet. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids like salmon and avocados can help in nourishing the hair. Additionally, iron, found in leafy greens such as spinach, helps in carrying oxygen to our hair follicles, fostering growth and vibrancy. Incorporating a balanced diet, rich in vitamins A, C, D, and E, zinc, B vitamins, iron, biotin, protein, and essential fatty acids, can be a game-changer. These nutrients not only promote healthier, thicker hair but also bolster overall body health, demonstrating the close link between what we eat and the condition of our hair. Prioritizing these foods in our diet is a natural way to fight against hair thinning without reaching out for hair thinning products immediately.
Stress Management and Sleep
Our hair's health significantly mirrors our lifestyle choices, particularly how we manage stress and our sleep patterns. Chronic stress is a known culprit behind hair thinning, as it can push hair follicles into a resting phase, preventing new hair strands from forming. Mastering stress-reduction techniques such as yoga, meditation, or even regular physical activity can significantly mitigate stress levels, promoting healthier hair growth. Sleep, on the other hand, plays a pivotal role in regenerating and repairing our body tissues, including hair follicles. Ensuring we get at least 7 to 8 hours of quality sleep each night can have a profound effect on our hair's thickness and overall health. Embracing good sleep hygiene practices and managing stress wisely are indispensable lifestyle adjustments that can complement the effectiveness of any hair thinning products we might be using, making them more effective in the long run. These practices, in conjunction with specialised products, can foster a holistic approach towards maintaining lush, vibrant hair.
