Hair Loss

Hair loss, or alopecia, describes hair being lost from part of the body, most commonly the scalp. It ranges from a few thinning patches to complete baldness, and for many patients it takes a real toll on confidence.

We all shed 50 to 100 hairs a day as part of the normal growth cycle. Problems start when shedding outpaces regrowth. That’s hair loss, and it’s not the same thing as ordinary daily shedding.

What causes hair loss?

I

Hair loss is often assumed to be a male problem. It isn’t. We see just as many women in clinic, and in my experience they’re often more distressed by it, because it’s less socially “expected” and harder to talk about.

There isn’t one single cause. Genetics and hormones account for most cases, but autoimmune conditions and post-pregnancy hair thinning are common too. Female pattern hair loss in particular is still poorly understood medically, though genetics is thought to play the leading role.

There are three main types:

  • Anagen effluvium – hair loss caused by something toxic to the follicle, most typically chemotherapy.
  • Telogen effluvium – a larger than normal number of follicles shift into the resting (telogen) phase together, so more hair falls out than usual.
  • Androgenetic alopecia (also called female or male pattern hair loss) – the most common type, causing thinning at the crown and temples.

If you’re worried about sudden or patchy hair loss, it’s always worth a proper assessment rather than guessing. Some causes (thyroid issues, iron deficiency, autoimmune disease) need medical investigation, not just a topical treatment.

Our Consultations

Our consultations are in-depth and tailored to you, creating a bespoke treatment plan catering to all of your concerns.

Treatments

Treatments

We offer several evidence based options for hair restoration, for both men and women.

PRP Therapy for Hair Loss

Platelet rich plasma is prepared from your own blood and injected into the scalp. It’s a natural way to stimulate regrowth and remains one of our most requested hair treatments.

Polynucleotide Treatment

These injections improve the scalp’s microenvironment, calm inflammation, boost blood supply and support follicle health, helping to slow thinning.

Exosome Treatment

Exosomes are tiny messengers that carry proteins, growth factors and signals between cells. Used after microneedling, they’ve been shown to support hair growth by encouraging tissue regeneration in the scalp.

Purasomes Xcell

An oral supplement that complements in-clinic treatment, supplying growth factors and exosomes to support cellular health and follicle vitality from within.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does PRP actually work for hair loss?

For the right patient, yes. PRP works best for early to moderate androgenetic alopecia, where follicles are miniaturising but still alive. It won’t regrow hair on scar tissue or a completely bald scalp. Anyone promising it “cures” baldness is overselling it.

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients need an initial course of five to six sessions, roughly a month apart, followed by maintenance every three to six months. Hair growth is slow, so we don’t expect visible change before around three months.

Is hair loss treatment painful?

There’s some discomfort with PRP and polynucleotide injections, but we use topical numbing and fine needles. Most patients describe it as tolerable rather than painful.

Can women have these treatments?

Yes, and in fact a large proportion of our hair loss patients are women. Female pattern hair loss responds well to PRP, polynucleotides and exosome therapy.

When should I see a doctor rather than try shop bought products?

If your hair loss is sudden, patchy, or accompanied by scalp pain, itching or scarring, see a doctor before trying anything topical. These can signal an underlying condition that a serum won’t fix.

Will I need to keep having treatment forever?

For genetic hair loss, yes, ongoing maintenance is realistic. It’s a chronic condition we manage, not one we cure in a single course.

PRP Therapy for Hair Loss

PRP therapy is a powerful and natural method of hair rejuvenation which involves using your own plasma which is separated from your blood prior to injecting it back into the scalp. This then promotes hair regrowth, perfect for those suffering from hair loss.

Polynucleotide Treatment

Polynucleotide injections help hair thinning by improving the scalps microenvironment and supporting follicle health. These injections have an anti-inflammatory effect, improve blood supply and encourage cell regeneration.

Exosome Treatment

These microscopic messengers help cells communicate with each other by carrying messages in very small ‘bubbles’. They deliver information like proteins, growth factors, and signals to cells, encouraging tissue regeneration and improving overall functioning. When applied following micro needling these are shown to improve hair growth.

Purasomes Xcell

This oral supplement supports the results on hair loss treatment by helping enhance internal cellular health. The growth factors and exosomes supply regenerative signals to support cell vitality and influence follicle health.

Helping you achieve outstanding, natural looking results.
