Beard Growth Treatments

Personalised Beard Growth Serums

Struggling with a patchy beard or uneven facial hair growth? You’re not alone. Many men find it hard to grow a full beard due to genetic, lifestyle or medical conditions like alopecia. Beard patchiness, slow growth or hair loss can be frustrating. With so many beard growth oils and alopecia treatments available, it can be hard to know what’s best for you. At City Skin Clinic, we offer custom beard growing serum treatments in the UK to stop hair loss and stimulate re-growth.

What Causes Beard Hair Loss & Patchiness?

Understanding the root causes is the most important place to start. This will help you find the best treatment to increase growth for a fuller less patchy beard. Beard hair loss can result from various factors with the key ones being:

  • Genetics: Your DNA plays a significant role in determining beard thickness and growth patterns.
  • Hormones: Low levels of androgens like testosterone or dihydrotestosterone (DHT) may reduce facial hair growth.​
  • Alopecia Barbae: This is an autoimmune condition that can causes round patches of hair loss in the beard.
  • Lifestyle Factors: Stress, poor nutrition and inadequate skincare can contribute to patchy or slow beard growth.​

Online Personalised Beard Growth Treatments

When it comes to beard growth, everyone is different in terms of their baseline and treatment goals. For example a treatment that works for someone with slow beard growth may not for another with patchy alopecia. This is why we strongly believe in a personalised approach to beard growing treatments and tailor them for each individual patient’s needs. Our custom beard growth serums are designed to target the primary cause of your beard slow growth, thinning, patchiness or alopecia. Here’s how we can help with your beard growth goals:

  • Detailed Online Consultation: Start with an in-depth video or online form consultation (whichever you prefer) so that your dedicated doctor can thoroughly understand your beard growth concerns, medical history and treatment goals. This helps your doctor create a customise treatment plan tailored around your specific needs.
  • Personalised Treatments: Our beard growing serums include scientifically-backed ingredients to help reduce shedding, stimulate growth and increase thickness. Your serum will be simple to use and seamlessly integrate into your daily grooming routine.
  • Ongoing Support: Your dedicated doctor will provide ongoing support and guidance. They’ll also review and adjust your treatment plan as necessary once you finish each course of treatment based on your progress. You’ll have the convenience of reaching out via email at any time throughout your treatment journey.

Ingredients in Our Beard Growth Treatments

Our doctors design a personalised beard growth treatment for each and every one of our patients. The composition of this treatment may also change at the end of each 3 month course to evolve according to how your beard responds. These are the ingredients taht we may use in our beard growth serums:

  • Minoxidil: Increases blood supply to hair follicles which can then promote beard hair regrowth.
  • Caffeine: Stimulates hair follicles which can increase growth.
  • Melatonin: Regulates hair growth cycles and protects hair follicles from oxidative stress. May increase hair growth and density.
  • Tretinoin: Help increase absorption and prolong activity of hair growth stimulants like Minoxidil.
  • Hydrocortisone: Reduces irritation and may be useful in treating beard hair loss and patchiness in conditions like alopecia barbae.

Our personalised beard growing serums are prescription medications which aim to target the underlying causes of patchiness and thinning. Your doctor will select the ingredients of your formula based on what they feels is the safest and most appropriate protocol for you.

How Long it Takes to See Results & Maintenance

All hair growth takes time and varies from person to person including on the beard. The first 3 months is when the treatment is activating the beard hair follicles so you may not see much or if you do just some patchy baby hair growth. In fact, some people might even experience more shedding during this period as the treatment speeds up removal of dead hairs to make space for the growth phase. Most people begin to see thicker beard growth and fewer patches within the first 3-6 months of starting the treatment serum. After that, there should be gradual improvements albeit at a different rate. However, individual results can vary and it’s crucial to be patient and consistent with applying your beard growth treatment serum.

Just like skincare or exercise, results aren’t permanent and you will need to maintain them. If you stop using your beard growing serum, this may lead to gradual reversing of the results. Your doctor will monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed to ensure optimal results and help maintain your beard growth results.

Compounded treatments like the ones we use are unlicensed medications because they are custom-made for each patient based on a specific formulation tailored to their unique needs. Unlike licensed medications, which are approved by regulatory bodies for general use, compounded treatments are created by pharmacists to meet the specific requirements of an individual patient as prescribed by their doctor. While they do not undergo the same approval process as licensed medications, they offer a personalised approach that can address specific concerns where a licensed treatment doesn't exist effectively under professional supervision.
