Hair Loss Treatment UK, Personalised Solutions Backed by Prescription Care
Hair loss can be caused by a range of factors including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, inflammation, scalp sensitivity, postpartum shedding, and telogen effluvium. At Root & Radiance, we offer personalised hair loss treatments designed around your individual needs using clinically recognised ingredients such as finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, tretinoin, melatonin, caffeine, cetirizine, and more.
Every treatment is reviewed by a UK registered prescriber and formulated by our partner compounding pharmacy. This allows us to create customised topical solutions tailored to your hair type, pattern of loss, scalp tolerance, and treatment goals rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all product.

What Causes Hair Loss
The most common cause of hair loss in men is androgenetic alopecia, often referred to as male pattern hair loss. In women, hair loss may present as diffuse thinning and can be influenced by hormonal changes, stress, nutritional factors, post-pregnancy shedding, inflammation, or underlying health conditions.
- Genetic hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia
- Hormonal imbalance and hormone-related thinning
- Stress-related shedding, including telogen effluvium
- Postpartum and post-pregnancy shedding
- Inflammation of the scalp
- Nutritional deficiencies and general health factors
Understanding the likely cause of hair loss is key to selecting the most effective treatment approach. This is one reason a more personalised route can be more useful than choosing a generic product without assessment.
Our Approach to Hair Loss Treatment
Unlike standard one-size-fits-all treatments, our approach focuses on personalised formulations. This means selecting active ingredients in specific strengths and bases to maximise effectiveness while improving tolerability and the overall treatment experience.
Many commercially available products use fixed formulations that may not suit every patient. Our compounded solutions allow greater flexibility, including alcohol-free and propylene glycol-free options where appropriate, along with the ability to combine more than one active into a single tailored solution.
- Custom strengths tailored to your needs
- Combination therapies in a single solution where appropriate
- Reduced irritation through optimised bases
- Prescription oversight for safety and suitability

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a prescription for hair loss treatment?
Yes. Certain active ingredients such as finasteride and dutasteride require a prescription. All treatments are reviewed by a UK registered prescriber before being approved.
How long does treatment take to work?
Most patients begin to see improvement within 3 to 6 months, although this can vary depending on the individual, the active ingredients chosen, and the consistency of use.
Are treatments suitable for sensitive scalps?
Yes. Customised formulations can be created using alternative bases to minimise irritation and improve tolerability where appropriate.
Can I get personalised hair loss treatment online in the UK?
Yes. Our online assessment and prescriber review process provides a structured route to personalised treatment where clinically appropriate.
What is the benefit of a personalised formula?
A personalised formula can allow more flexibility around ingredients, strengths, and formulation base, which may be helpful when standard products have not been suitable or well tolerated.
What is telogen effluvium?
Telogen effluvium is a common cause of diffuse hair shedding, often triggered by stress, illness, hormonal change, or pregnancy, and it may need a different approach from pattern hair loss.
Can postpartum hair loss be treated?
Postpartum hair loss is often temporary, but a personalised assessment can help determine whether supportive treatment, reassurance, or further review is most appropriate.
