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.

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:
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 are in-depth and tailored to you, creating a bespoke treatment plan catering to all of your concerns.
ConsultationWe offer several evidence based options for hair restoration, for both men and women.
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.
These injections improve the scalp’s microenvironment, calm inflammation, boost blood supply and support follicle health, helping to slow thinning.
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.
An oral supplement that complements in-clinic treatment, supplying growth factors and exosomes to support cellular health and follicle vitality from within.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.

Do you want to rejuvenate your skin and boost your confidence? Then our polynucleotide treatment might be just what you are looking for. At our multi-award-winning clinic, we are proud to offer injectable skin boosters made from polynucleotide chains. Polynucleotides help to stimulate fibroblasts (cells that help form connective tissues) in the skin, as well as encourage cell growth and turnover, improve elasticity, and hydrate the skin. This can offer you a hydrated and revitalised appearance to improve wrinkles and fine lines, as well as help tackle skin conditions such as rosacea, acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation.
At Health & Aesthetics, we’re proud to offer exosome treatment – a groundbreaking therapy that leverages the power of regenerative science to restore your skin at the cellular level. Whether you’re looking to improve skin texture, smooth fine lines, or achieve a natural, youthful glow, exosomes treatment delivers transformative results without invasive procedures.
