Advance Topical Plan
Scientifically advanced formula designed to target hair thinning at its source.
Yes. Consistent use of this dual‑action topical solution has been shown to support regrowth at both the frontal hairline and the vertex/crown in men with androgenetic alopecia.
Most users need 3–6 months of regular application to see visible changes, with improvements often continuing toward ~12 months. Keeping up the routine is essential—stopping usually leads to gradual loss of gains.
Spray directly onto a clean, dry (or towel‑dried) scalp once or twice daily as advised. Part the hair to reach thinning areas, allow it to dry completely before styling or going to bed, and wash your hands after application to avoid transferring the product.
This formula is not specifically licensed for beards in the UK. Some people report facial hair changes off‑label, but licensing and clinical evidence relate primarily to scalp use.
Topical treatments offer targeted application with lower systemic exposure. Your best choice is usually the one you can use consistently, based on prescriber guidance.
No. Treatments like this are intended for adults (18+). Hair loss in teenagers often has different causes; a GP or dermatologist should assess before any treatment is considered.
Advance Capsules Plan
Daily supplement for systemic support.
This oral combination is used to help manage male pattern hair loss. Dutasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that lowers dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone linked to follicle miniaturisation, while minoxidil supports the hair growth cycle to help improve density. Prescribers may supply this combination off-label for hair loss following an assessment. At licensed doses, dutasteride is also used to treat enlarged prostate (BPH).
This oral plan uses minoxidil 5 mg plus dutasteride 0.2 mg in a single daily capsule. Your prescriber will confirm whether this strength is appropriate for you based on your medical history, other medicines, and goals.
There isn't a "best" time. Morning or evening is fine, with or without food. What matters is consistency—take it at roughly the same time each day.
Yes—this oral plan is typically taken once daily. Always follow your prescriber's instructions; they may tailor the regimen to your needs.
No. Propecia® is a brand of finasteride, not dutasteride. Both medicines reduce DHT but are different active ingredients. Finasteride mainly inhibits type II 5-alpha-reductase; dutasteride inhibits type I and type II.
No. Oral minoxidil + dutasteride is supplied as a prescription-only treatment. You'll need a clinical assessment with a UK-registered prescriber (this can be done online via regulated services such as Volumize) before it can be supplied.
Combination Plan
Scientifically advanced formula designed to target hair thinning at its source.
Order through Volumize, after completing an online assessment. Oral minoxidil is prescription-only; dutasteride topical may also require a prescription.
Yes—under clinician guidance, these medicines are commonly used in combination because they act via different mechanisms and are not known to interact. Published data suggest higher reported improvement with combined therapy (~94%) than with dutasteride (~87%) or minoxidil (~73%) alone. Individual results vary, and consistency matters.
Oral minoxidil supports growth; topical dutasteride lowers DHT at the scalp.
They may improve frontal scalp density for some men, but responses differ. Evidence tends to be stronger for the vertex/crown; results at the hairline can be more variable. With consistent daily use, many notice early changes by 3–6 months, with further gains often seen by around 12 months.
Most men begin to see signs of improvement after 3–6 months of regular use, with best results commonly building by ~12 months. A short period of increased shedding can occur early on—often a normal part of the hair cycle reset. Keep using treatment as directed to maintain benefits.
For many adults with androgenetic alopecia, these are the most established UK treatments, supported by decades of clinical use. Combination use is associated with higher reported improvement rates (approx. 94%).
