Hair Replacement

Advanced Hair Studio is the premier provider of hair replacement in Australia. We help you avoid the cost of thinning and balding hair by offering a series of hair replacement techniques that address thinning and balding hair in a completely natural way – no obvious extensions, wigs or plugs, just natural looking replacements.

Hair Replacement for Men

Strand-by-Strand®: This hair replacement technique works by replacing your hair that way it falls out – strand by strand. This method of replacement is what sets our technique apart because it looks utterly natural from every angle.
Laser Therapy: Our laser therapy goes far beyond the use of laser technology. Our sophisticated laser treatment is combined with hair regrowth medication and a hair and scalp health treatment to address the cause of hair loss and create the scalp conditions you need to regrow your hair.
Advanced Hair Fibres: The beauty of our Keratin treatment is that all you have to do is brush it through your hair and you’ll have an instantaneous form of hair replacement. The Keratin bonds instantly to your hair, and forms a strong bond so you can brush it or style it however you like.
Advanced Singular Hair Grafting: The most common area of the scalp where a hair replacement is required is the hairline. In male pattern baldness, this is where balding commonly starts, so if you’re in the early stages, you’ll be happy to know that our advanced singular hair grafting offers a natural form of hairline replacement.
Stem Cell Hair Technology Factors: This program delivers the highest concentration of active cell signal proteins on the market. The program also: unblocks the follicle entrance, reduces excessive oil, kills bacteria caused by dandruff and inflammation, and increases nutrients to the scalp and restores the appearance of hair colour.

Hair Replacement for Women

Advanced Laser Therapy: With a 90% success rate, our Advanced Laser Therapy is a great way for women to boost their hair replacement treatments. It works to improve the health of your scalp and promote hair regrowth.
Strand-by-Strand®: Our patented hair replacement technique is also perfect for women. Our clients love how natural and looks, and with no surgery, you don’t have to worry about pain or scarring!
FlashPoints®: Our reusable hair extensions don’t require any glue, wax or weaving, so you don’t have to worry about damaging any remaining hair. They are also available in a range of textures, colours and styles, so they really are the perfect method on instant hair replacement.
Stem Cell Hair Technology Factors: This program delivers the highest concentration of active cell signal proteins on the market. The program also: unblocks the follicle entrance, reduces excessive oil, kills bacteria caused by dandruff and inflammation, and increases nutrients to the scalp and restores the appearance of hair colour.

Treatments and Products to Assist in Hair Replacement

Hair and Scalp Fitness Range: Serenoa is the best way to address early stages of hair loss. A hormone called DHT causes follicles to stop growing hair, and Serenoa blocks this hormone and encourages hair regrowth. We combine this treatment with an Advanced Laser Helmet and an AHS-FP Antioxidant for a full at-home hair regrowth treatment to complement your hair replacement.
Stem Cell Hair Technology Factors: Regrowing hair is a great form of hair replacement. We can help you to do this by restoring dormant follicles with our patented ‘Growth Factors.’

Alopecia in Women

Alopecia in women is devastating. Hair loss can affect all facets of your life and have a significant impact on your quality of life and sense of self. The term alopecia is often used to refer to general hair loss, but in truth, there are varying types of female alopecia, with the most common being:

Female Androgenic Alopecia: Androgenic Alopecia is another term for female pattern baldness, which is a condition in which the hair thins on a particular part of the scalp, most commonly around the part in the hair.
Female Alopecia Areata: Alopecia Areata is a condition in which patches of hair are lost from the scalp and other parts of the body.
Female Alopecia Totalis: Alopecia Totalis results in all the hair falling from the scalp.
Female Traction Alopecia: Traction Alopecia is a condition caused by excess force being placed on the hair, usually as a result of hairstyles like braids or tight ponytails.
Female Alopecia Universalis: Alopecia Universalis refers to hair loss that affects every part of the human body.

Advanced Hair Studio Treatments for Alopecia in Women

Advanced Laser Therapy: Our laser therapy has a 90% success rate in preventing further hair loss in certain types of alopecia. We use powerful laser technology in conjunction with FDA-approved medication and a hair and scalp treatment range to promote a follicle and scalp environment that encourages hair growth.
Strand-by-Strand®: We offer a non surgical method of hair restoration that requires no surgery, pain or scarring, and it comes with a 100% guarantee. We take your remaining strands and match them to balding sections of your scalp to create an entirely natural hair transplant.
FlashPoints®: If you’re suffering from a form of alopecia that won’t respond to one of our other treatments, our extensions are perfect solution. Extensions require no weaving, wax or glue and they’re reusable. They also come in a variety of textures, colours and thicknesses so you can create a completely natural look.
Hair and Scalp Fitness Range: Some forms of alopecia can be caused by the production of DHT. DHT is a hormone that prevents follicles from producing hair. The secret ingredient in our Hair and Scalp Fitness Range, Serenoa, inhibits the production of this hormone. Our Hair and Scalp Fitness Range also makes use of an AHS-FP Antioxidant and an Advanced Laser Helmet to help promote hair growth.
Stem Cell Hair Technology Factors: We developed this groundbreaking treatment. You can undertake this treatment at home over 10 weeks, and it works by using ‘Growth Factors’ to reactivate dormant follicles. The treatment relies on PRP Stem Cell technology and it has shown enormous potential in improving hair growth levels.

Itchy Scalp and Hair Loss

We’ve all had itchy scalps, especially in the colder and drier winter months. While we might dismiss an itchy scalp as just a minor annoyance, the truth is that they might be an early indicator of something much more sinister.

Why It’s Important

Although all the symptoms of an itchy scalp might feel similar (persistent itch and redness and tenderness of the scalp), there are actually many different types of itchy scalp, each with distinct causers.

Some of the causes are innocuous, and will fade with time; others though can lead to significant consequences, such as substantial hair loss.

One thing remains true to all forms of itchy scalp – the itch is merely a symptom, it’s not the actual condition.

An itchy scalp can be caused by some of the following:

Head lice
Scabies (human itch mites)
Dandruff (in severe cases known as seborrheic dermatitis)
Psoriasis
Eczema
Sunburn
Dirt
Rosacea
Folliculitis
Fungus
Alopecia areata

As the above list makes clear, many itchy scalp conditions are temporary, and don’t last very long. However, in some instances, typical hair loss issues such as folliculitis and alopecia could be the culprit.

Factors Involved

Before deciding that your itchy scalp is the result of a serious hair loss issue, it’s important to put in place a hair-care routine, based on making changes to your lifestyle.

Several well-known, classic home remedies exist, which can help determine the severity of your itchy scalp.

Try washing your hair with tea tree oil, or generally using a shampoo with a low acid-content. Other solutions like massaging the scalp with aloe vera, apple cider vinegar, coconut oil or lemon juice are all thought to help clean and get rid of an itch on the scalp.

Other more general lifestyle changes are also considered an appropriate measure to tackle itchy scalp. Incorporating things like a new exercise routine, a better diet, a consistent skincare regimen, and ensuring a consistent uptake of vitamins are some of the most beneficial ways to ensure body – and scalp ¬– health.

In-House Trichologist

Much like dermatology is the study of skin, trichology is the scientific and medical study of the hair. Hair is a living part of our body, supported by several systems which when disrupted can cause hair loss. Our in-house trichologist examines how follicles are affected by hormones, nutrition and illness. Using insights from the forefront of this field can help treat your itchy scalp and hair loss.

How to Know When It’s Time For Professional Help

If you try these home remedies and lifestyle changes and your itchy scalp isn’t disappearing, that’s when it’s time to get in touch with hair care professionals. In many instances, an itchy scalp left unchecked and untreated can lead to dramatic hair loss down the line.

Advanced Hair Studio, with our industry-leading treatments and technologies are equipped to help diagnose any scalp problem you’re having. We can figure out what’s happening, and you can be one of 500,000 people worldwide who have benefitted from our life-changing services.

It’s not too late for the help you deserve!

Best Vitamins for Hair Growth

The best way to slow or halt hair loss is to encourage hair growth. Vitamins for hair growth are a great way to do this, and provide assistance for both thinning hair and hair loss in women and men. Like all bodily processes, hair growth is dependent on a healthy balance of vitamins, and some of the best vitamins for hair growth include:

Vitamin A: cells rely on vitamin A for growth, including the cells responsible for hair production.
B-Vitamins: one of the B vitamins called Biotin is linked with hair growth, and a deficiency can cause hair loss.
Vitamin C: vitamin C can protect against the free radical damage that blocks hair growth.
Vitamin D: low vitamin D levels are connected to alopecia and a range of other conditions.
Vitamin E: vitamin E acts an antioxidant that works to protect against hair damaging oxidative stress.
Iron: Iron facilitates the carrying of oxygen to blood cells, which is imperative for hair growth.
Zinc: Zinc helps to regulate the oil glands in hair follicles.
Protein: the hair shaft is made entirely of protein, which means that protein is essential for proper growth.
Advanced Hair Studio’s Hair & Scalp Antioxidant: Specifically formulated to promote the growth of strong, healthy hair and support scalp health, this contains herbs and nutrients with antioxidant activity. These nutrients include milk thistle, zinc and vitamin C.

Taking vitamin supplements may assist in hair growth, but the best way to look after your hair is to maintain a healthy diet. That means eating plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables and lean proteins while avoiding processed and sugary foods.

If you’re experiencing severe levels of hair loss or balding, you need to visit Advanced Hair Studio for a Hair Check so that we can suggest the best form of treatment for you.

Men’s Therapies

Strand-by-Strand®: We offer a 100% guarantee on this hair replacement method. This method provides you with a completely natural look because we match each replacement strand to your existing strands.
Advanced Laser Therapy: Our laser treatment program is the best in the industry because we combine it with FDA-approved pharmaceuticals and a hair and scalp treatment program. We even provide clients with our celebrated, at-home Stem Cell Hair Technology Factors treatment for a full hair restoration procedure.
Advanced Hair Thickening Fibres: All you have to do is brush our keratin treatment through your hair, and the fibres instantly bond to your hair strands to give your hair a thicker look. The bond is so strong that you can brush and style it however you like without altering the aesthetic.
Advanced Singular Hair Grafting®: Hair loss often begins at the hairline. We have developed a procedure that combines surgical and non-surgical elements to restore your hairline in a completely natural way. Unlike other grafts, you won’t have to wait upwards of six months for your hairline to grow out.

Women’s Therapies

Advanced Laser Therapy: Our leading laser treatment has a 90% success rate in helping our female customers to regrow their hair. The best part is that following treatment, you can expect to see results in just three months.
Strand-by-Strand®: We’ve got a Strand-by-Strand® hair restoration process that is specially designed for women. It looks natural, and the replacement is so effective that you can style it however you like.
FlashPoints®: We offer an incredible range of hair extensions. We have managed to develop a range that is reusable and works without any wax, glue or weaving. Our hair extensions are available in a range of textures, colours and thicknesses, so you’ll find an extension to suit your hair and your desired look.

Trichotillomania

Contrary to popular belief, not all hair-loss issues are genetic. In fact, hair loss can be explained by a wide variety of factors – including genetic reasons, hormonal levels and even psychological problems and stressors.

Trichotillomania is one such psychological disorder.

What Is Trichotillomania

Trichotillomania is an impulse control disorder, which involves sustained hair pulling as reaction to stress. It is generally believed to be a coping mechanism for stress and negative emotions. Although sufferers of Trichotillomania are susceptible to hair pulling on any part of their bodies, the most commonly pulled area is the scalp.

Hair pulling episodes can range in length from seconds long to hours at-a-time, and can result in wildly varying hair-lengths in sufferers.

So, what can cause Trichotillomania?

It’s unclear what exactly causes Trichotillomania, although several factors are accepted to increase the risk of onset. These include:

Age
Stress
Family history
Having other related disorders; such as depression or anorexia nervosa

Over sustained periods, this hair-pulling can lead to surprising and dramatic hair loss.

How Trichotillomania Affects People

The uncertain causes of Trichotillomania understandably lead to a host of negative feelings. In cases where Trichotillomania is brought on as a result of stress, this can lead to a dangerously self-perpetuating cycle.

Sufferers of Trichotillomania frequently feel misunderstood and vulnerable, and the consequences of the disorder can be wide-ranging.

People can feel:

Afraid to go out in public out of concern and shame over appearance
A lack of confidence in one’s career and having productivity and professionalism affected by hair-pulling
A concern for developing personal relationships due to a fear of judgement and shame

How Advanced Hair Studio Tackles Trichotillomania

The damage of Trichotillomania needn’t be irreparable. Advanced Hair Studio is committed to helping men and women who suffer from Trichotillomania through a variety of our industry-leading treatments.

In addition to our treatments such as Strand-By-Strand or Laser Therapy, Advanced Hair Studio has an in-house trichologist, hair loss expert Mark Birch. Mark is a world-leading hair and scalp specialist. He goes beyond identifying the causes and determinants of your hair loss, and will suggest the best course of action for you and your hair care journey going forward. Sufferers of Trichotillomania often don’t know where to turn to for help; Advanced Hair Studio has the resources and solutions for you.

Around the world, we’ve already treated 500 000 people, and helped them get their and confidence back. It’s never too late to make a change. We recommend that you get in touch, and book a free Advanced Hair Check. This is a no obligation way of determining the extent of your hair loss, and the ideal treatment to take your first step to recovery.

Serenoa blocks the production of this hormone, so your follicles will continue to grow hair and offset the loss. We include Serenoa in our hair and scalp fitness product, and the range is topped off by an Advanced Laser Helmet and an AHS-FP Antioxidant.
Stem Cell Hair Technology Factors: Our ‘Growth Factors’ lock into your follicles to reactivate any dormant follicles, expel any blocking oils and create an environment for hair to push through and grow again.

Stress and Hair Loss

Hair and stress are inextricably linked, both in reality and in culture. Think of anyone that’s stereotypically stressed, and you’ll probably be picturing them tugging at or pulling their hair out.

But why is that? What exactly is it about stress that’s so intimately linked with hair loss?

The Physiological Effects of Stress

Although stress is generally considered to be an emotion, akin to anxiety, worry or concern; it can actually translate to some very real physiological effects. In that way stress transcends the emotional, and can have some significant impacts on our bodies.

Here are some of the effects that stress can have on the body:

Stress can lead to poor sleep, which diminishes academic and physical performance
It makes our muscles more tense, leaving us in a constant state of guardedness and paranoia (this can manifest itself through migraines and chronic back pain)
It can hurt our breathing, creating complications and issues within our respiratory systems
Gastrointestinal consequences, such as a near-constant state of nausea
Increased release of the stress hormone cortisol
Negative effects on the cardiovascular system
Substantial, sudden hair loss

The Relationship Between Stress and Hair Loss

As has been shown, too much stress can have horrific consequences on the human body. In terms of hair loss, high levels of anxiety can trigger many different types of hair loss conditions.

Stress can lead to forms of alopecia; to telogen effluvium (more hairs than normal fall out); and to trichotillomania, among many others.

In addition to these concerns, times of high stress levels can lead to weaker, more brittle hair, which can be more susceptible to falling out.

Despite the extent of correlation between high levels of stress and anxiety and hair loss, it’s worth nothing that not all hair loss can be attributed to stress. In fact, hair loss can occur for a slew of reasons. Some of these reasons can be explained, others can’t be.

With such a variety of different causes for hair loss, it’s never been more important to seek out professional help. If you’re experiencing hair loss, and aren’t sure how to proceed, it’s time to find the right information.

Female Hair Loss

Causes of Hair Loss in Women

Many men solemnly accept hair loss – in some form or another – as a near-certain inevitability at some point in their lives.

The truth is, everyone, not just men needs to confront the fact that we’re all very likely to experience a type of hair loss condition in our lives.

For women, this is extremely difficult. Unlike bald men, which society accepts as perfectly normal, and sometimes even positive, bald women are looked down on.

Although heads of hair are tied to all human identities, it’s seen as especially important for women. Throughout history, long hair – typified by fairy-tales such as Rapunzel – has come to be represented as one of the most female traits.

It’s no wonder that when women begin to lose their hair, they can sometimes feel as though they’re losing much more.

Causes of Female Hair Loss

There are just as many causes for female hair loss as there are for male hair loss. Although men and women share many causers in common; there are also several conditions unique to women, both in their causes and in the ways that they affect.

Some of the most common hair loss causes that women share with men include:

All of the most common forms of alopecia; such as alopecia areata, alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis
Poor lifestyle factors such as excessive drinking and smoking, and a lack of adequate nutrition, hygiene and exercise
The lack or regular, quality, long-lasting sleep also affects both men and women’s chances of losing their hair

Here are some causes that are unique to women:

The imbalance of female-specific hormones, such as estrogen can disrupt hair growth
Additionally, women undergoing the hormonal changes of menopause can frequently lose hair as a side-effect
During pregnancy and just after child birth, women experience extreme changes and variance both in the growth and thickness of their hair

Consequences of Female Hair Loss

The effects—both psychological and physiological —of female hair loss can be pronounced. The cosmetic, aesthetic consequences of female hair loss can lead to some intensely negative emotions in women – which will only compound and worsen their hair loss, as well as their likelihood of recovery.

Women losing their hair typically feel:

Sadness, in some cases even symptoms of depression
Shame and embarrassment, feelings of abnormality
A loss of self-esteem and confidence, especially with regards to personal and professional relationships

How Advanced Hair Studio Treats Female Hair Loss

At Advanced Hair Studio, we know there can’t be a one-size-fits-all approach.
The notion that hair loss is exclusively a male-problem has long been dispelled, and we have a host of world-class treatment options to stop, and eventually reverse your hair loss.

Just some of our female hair loss treatment options include Advanced Laser Therapy, Strand-by-Strand and Flashpoints.

Female Hair Loss

Hair Loss After Pregnancy

The period shortly after pregnancy is fraught with the nervousness and stress of taking care of a newborn child. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the times in which women are likeliest to experience some form of hair loss.

At best, that increases the stress of new parenthood; but at worst, it can lead to a variety of negative consequences including the onset of postpartum depression and the gradual worsening of hair loss.

What Is Postpartum Hair Loss?

Postpartum hair loss is classified as the loss of hair in a woman shortly after she gives birth to a child.

The rate and extent to which hair is lost when postpartum hair loss comes as a shock to many women.

This is because:

Society has associated womanhood with hair, so losing it can threaten a new mother’s sense of femininity
The period following childbirth is a very stressful one; so if a woman begins to lose her hair she may misdiagnose her postpartum hair loss as something more extreme, such as alopecia
During pregnancy, a woman’s hair is far thicker and fuller than usual. Upon childbirth and at the onset of postpartum hair loss, many women become confused by the sudden loss of thickness that they had grown accustomed to

What Are The Causes Of Postpartum Hair Loss?

Typically, women begin to notice postpartum hair loss around three months after giving birth. The causes are largely hormonal.

There are roughly two phases of hair growth. The first, anagen, is a growth phase; while the second, telogen, is a resting phase. During pregnancy, women receive far more growth hormones than usual, which leads to a far greater amount of hair than normal.

The inverse happens following childbirth. Hormonal changes are that far more hairs than usual enter the resting phase; die and fall off the scalp.

Treatment Methods

What’s worth noting is that this happens to almost every new mother. In many instances, postpartum hair loss is a perfectly natural and normal part of motherhood; and shouldn’t be met with much concern.

Having said that, in certain women, postpartum hair loss can last for far longer than usual, with far more dramatic and negative consequences than in other women.

If your postpartum hair loss is still ongoing by the time your baby has reached twelve months old, that’s a good indicator that it’s time to consult a hair-care professional.
