Approved Traffic & Promotion Methods
The following methods are approved where they are used to reach new, cold audiences who have not previously encountered the hairmax® brand through our own marketing channels.
Incremental traffic principle
All approved promotion must target audiences who are not already in the hairmax® purchase funnel. Content should educate, build awareness, and expand our customer base — not intercept existing demand. If your promotion is primarily capturing users who already know the hairmax® brand, it is not compliant regardless of channel.

Content & Brand Standards
All partner-created content must reflect hairmax®'s positioning as a clinically validated, premium medical device. The brand voice is professional, trustworthy, optimistic, and caring. The following standards apply to all content that mentions or promotes hairmax®.
| Standard | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Spelling & trademark | Always written as "hairmax®" in body copy or "Hairmax®" at sentence start. First instance on any page must include the ® symbol. Not "HairMax", "Hair Max" or "HAIRMAX". |
| Clinical claims | Partners may reference that hairmax® devices are FDA-cleared and backed by 7 clinical studies across 460 men and women with a 93% success rate. No additional clinical or medical efficacy claims may be made without prior written approval. |
| Photography & imagery | Use only imagery from the approved hairmax® partner asset library. Models should be 30–60 years of age, healthy-looking with visible hair. Do not depict individuals with extensive hair loss or baldness. |
| Tone | Hopeful and empathetic — hair loss is a sensitive topic. Avoid making light of hair loss or using alarmist language. Lead with solutions, outcomes, and confidence. |
| Discount codes | Partners will be issued a dedicated tracking code. This code may only be promoted on channels declared at onboarding. Public broadcast of unapproved codes will result in immediate programme suspension. |
| Advertising law compliance | All content must comply with UK CAP/ASA guidelines and equivalent EU regulations in other target markets. "Ad", "Sponsored", or "#ad" must be clearly labelled where required by law. |
