About Hairy Animal and Our Products
What is Hairy Animal, and what do you sell?
At Hairy Animal, we specialise in providing unlicensed medicines designed to promote hair growth and combat hair loss in various areas, including the scalp, beard, eyebrows, lashes, and menopause-related thinning. We are a registered pharmacy, ensuring the safety and quality of our products.
Are your products safe to use?
Yes, all of our products are manufactured to the highest standards and tested for safety and efficacy. While our products are unlicensed, they contain ingredients that have been scientifically shown to work in clinical studies. As a registered pharmacy, we ensure that our products meet rigorous regulatory standards for safety.
How Our Products Work
How do Hairy Animal products work for hair loss?
Our products contain a wide variety of active ingredients, each specifically formulated to promote hair growth in the targeted area. These ingredients nourish and stimulate hair follicles, improve blood circulation to the roots, and extend the growth phase of the hair cycle, resulting in thicker, longer, and healthier hair over time. Each formula is tailored to address the unique needs of the scalp, beard, eyebrows, and lashes.
How long before I see results?
Results can vary depending on the product and the area being treated. For products containing Minoxidil, it may take up to 6 months to see significant results. However, products containing Bimatoprost typically show noticeable improvements within 4 to 6 weeks, with optimal results often visible after 12 weeks of consistent use.
Why do you use Dutasteride in your hair loss products instead of Finasteride?
We use Dutasteride in our hair loss treatments because it has been shown to be clinically more effective than Finasteride. Dutasteride inhibits both Type 1 and Type 2 5-alpha reductase enzymes, whereas Finasteride only targets Type 2. This means Dutasteride provides broader inhibition of DHT, leading to stronger results. Clinical studies have demonstrated that Dutasteride is 30% more effective at reducing DHT compared to Finasteride, making it the preferred choice for more noticeable and longer-lasting hair regrowth.
Product Usage and Effectiveness
Can I use your products for beard growth?
Yes! We offer a specifically designed formula for beard growth that contains Minoxidil, a clinically proven ingredient to encourage hair growth in facial areas. Minoxidil works by stimulating hair follicles, promoting thicker and denser beard growth. For optimal results, be sure to follow the instructions carefully.
Can your products help with hair thinning caused by menopause?
Yes, our Phoenix brand has been specifically formulated to address menopause-related hair thinning. It contains oestrogen, which helps keep hair follicles in the growth phase, a common issue during menopause. This helps maintain hair density and supports fuller, healthier hair during hormonal changes.
Can I use the Penguin Eyebrow and Eyelash Formula together?
Yes, the Penguin Eyebrow and Eyelash Formula contains the same active ingredient, making it safe to use on both your eyebrows and eyelashes. We sell it as a single product because it works effectively for both areas. Once you purchase the formula for your eyebrows, you can safely use it on your lashes as well, eliminating the need for a separate purchase.
Side Effects and Safety
Are there any side effects?
Side effects can vary from product to product, but medicines are generally well tolerated. Some users may experience mild irritation, redness, or dryness at the application site. It’s important to complete the consultation form accurately to ensure the product is suitable for you. Our prescriber will assess whether the product is right for you and guide you through the process.
How often should I use the product?
For optimal results, we recommend applying the product once daily to the targeted area—whether it’s your scalp, beard, eyebrows, or lashes. Consistency is key, so incorporate it into your daily routine for the best outcomes.
Prescriptions and Purchasing
Do I need a prescription to buy your products?
Yes, you will need a prescription to purchase our products. Our in-house prescriber will assess your needs and provide the prescription free of charge. This ensures a smooth and hassle-free process, so once approved, you can proceed with your purchase.
How should I store the product?
Store our products in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the product out of reach of children and ensure it is used within the recommended shelf life to maintain its effectiveness.
