What is This Personalised Topical Solution and What is it Used For?

This is a customised topical solution used to treat male and female pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) and other forms of hair thinning. This tailored treatment is designed to target various factors that contribute to hair loss and promote hair regrowth.


The solution contains a combination of active ingredients, each chosen for its ability to target the underlying causes of hair thinning and stimulate the scalp and hair follicles. This personalized approach maximizes the potential for hair regrowth and improves the health of your scalp.


How Does This Topical Solution Work?

This customized solution combines several potent ingredients that work synergistically to combat hair loss by:

  1. Blocking DHT (Dihydrotestosterone): DHT is the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles. Ingredients like Dutasteride, Finasteride, and Spironolactone block DHT locally on the scalp, preventing further hair follicle miniaturization.

  2. Stimulating Hair Growth: Ingredients like Minoxidil, Latanoprost, and Prostaquinon promote hair regrowth by prolonging the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle and increasing blood flow to the scalp.

  3. Reducing Inflammation and Irritation: Hydrocortisone, Clobetasol propionate, Betamethasone dipropionate, and Tacrolimus reduce scalp inflammation, itching, and irritation, creating a healthy environment for hair growth.

  4. Regulating Hair Follicle Activity: 17-α Estradiol and Melatonin help modulate hair follicle cycling, while Caffeine stimulates hair growth by blocking the effects of DHT at the follicle level.

  5. Skin Renewal and Improved Absorption: Tretinoin improves skin cell turnover and increases the absorption of other active ingredients, while TrichoSol serves as the delivery system, ensuring the ingredients penetrate deeply into the scalp.

  6. Allergy and Sensitivity Control: Cetirizine, an antihistamine, helps manage allergic responses that could interfere with scalp health and hair growth.


How to Use the Personalised Topical Solution

  • Apply the prescribed amount (usually 1ml) once daily directly to the affected areas of the scalp. Use as directed by your prescriber.

  • Ensure your scalp is clean and dry before applying the solution.

  • Use the provided dropper or applicator to place the solution on your scalp.

  • Gently massage the product into your scalp with your fingertips.

  • Avoid washing your scalp or hair for at least 4 hours after application.

  • Do not exceed the prescribed dose. If you miss a dose, continue with your next scheduled application. Do not double the dose.


Ingredients in the Topical Solution and Their Role

  1. 17-α Estradiol: Slows down hair loss by modulating the hormone receptors that impact hair growth.

  2. Dutasteride and Finasteride: Inhibit the conversion of testosterone to DHT, reducing hair follicle shrinkage.

  3. Spironolactone: Acts as a mild anti-androgen, reducing the effect of DHT on hair follicles.

  4. Latanoprost and Prostaquinon: Both stimulate the hair follicles, promoting the growth of longer, thicker hair.

  5. Minoxidil: Expands blood vessels, improving scalp circulation and stimulating hair growth.

  6. Melatonin: Helps regulate hair growth and acts as a potent antioxidant.

  7. Caffeine: Inhibits DHT and stimulates hair growth by increasing blood circulation in the scalp.

  8. Hydrocortisone, Clobetasol Propionate, Betamethasone Dipropionate: Potent anti-inflammatory agents that reduce scalp irritation and inflammation, which can contribute to hair loss.

  9. Tacrolimus: A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory that helps reduce inflammation and itchiness.

  10. Cetirizine: An antihistamine that helps reduce scalp inflammation caused by allergic reactions.

  11. Tretinoin: Promotes skin cell turnover and enhances the absorption of other active ingredients.

  12. TrichoSol: A delivery system that enhances the absorption of active ingredients into the scalp.


Key Ingredients and Their Benefits


MinoxidilHow it works: Minoxidil helps by opening potassium channels within hair follicle cells, improving blood circulation and nutrient supply to the follicles. This boost in blood flow allows the miniaturized follicles to expand and extends the growth (anagen) phase of the hair cycle, leading to healthier and thicker hair growth.


FinasterideHow it works: Finasteride blocks the enzyme Type II 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Elevated DHT levels are linked to shrinking hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. By lowering DHT, finasteride helps prevent follicle shrinkage, supporting the development of thicker hair.


DutasterideHow it works: Like finasteride, dutasteride also inhibits 5-alpha reductase but blocks both Type I and Type II enzymes, providing more effective reduction of DHT throughout the body. This makes dutasteride a powerful option for stopping follicle shrinkage and encouraging hair regrowth.


LatanoprostHow it works: Latanoprost, a prostaglandin F2α analog, binds to specific receptors in the hair follicle. This interaction extends the growth phase and increases follicle size, promoting the growth of thicker, darker hair.


CetirizineHow it works: As an antihistamine, cetirizine blocks histamine receptors, which helps reduce scalp inflammation. A less inflamed scalp can prevent damage to the hair follicles, fostering a healthier environment for hair growth.


SpironolactoneHow it works: Spironolactone works by blocking androgen receptors, reducing the impact of androgens like testosterone on the scalp. This is especially useful for women suffering from hair loss due to elevated androgen levels.


CaffeineHow it works: Caffeine helps hair follicles remain in the growth phase for longer, promoting stronger, longer hair. It also boosts blood circulation to the hair follicles, ensuring they receive adequate nutrients and oxygen.


Tretinoin (Retinoic Acid)How it works: Tretinoin speeds up cell turnover on the scalp, helping remove dead skin cells and improve the scalp’s condition for hair growth. It also enhances the absorption of other topical treatments, such as minoxidil, increasing their effectiveness.


MelatoninHow it works: Melatonin serves as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation around the hair follicles. This helps protect the follicles, supporting a longer growth phase and maintaining a healthy scalp.


How Effective is This Personalised Topical Solution?

Because this is a customised solution, its effectiveness will vary depending on your unique hair loss condition and the specific combination of ingredients chosen for you. Most patients notice results within 3 to 6 months, with significant improvements in hair density and reduction in hair shedding over time.


Consistent use is required to maintain results. If the treatment is stopped, hair loss may resume within 3 to 12 months.
