We specialise in non surgical hair loss treatment to reduce the need or delay the need for hair transplantation.
It is normal to lose some hair every day as part of the hair’s usual growth cycle. For most people, the lost hair grows back and you maintain a full head of hair. However, illness, hormonal changes, stress, aging and inherited conditions can interfere with the hairs growth cycle and new strands don’t always grow back.
Hair loss can affect your scalp or whole body. It can be temporary or permanent.
Baldness also referred as androgenetic alopecia typically refers to excessive hair loss from your scalp. Hereditary hair loss with age and hormones is the most common cause.
There are other types of hair loss, for example, Telogen Effluvium, Alopecia Areata and many more which we can also assess and advise. We have also seen and increased amount of people complaining of har loss during the Covid pandemic.

HAIRLOSS IN MEN
The most common causes of hair loss in men is male pattern hair loss also known as androgenetic alopecia and can begin at an early age, sometimes in your teens or early 20s.
By 50 years of age more than 50% of men have a visible sign of male pattern hair loss like thinning, a receding hair line or baldness.
While you don’t need to treat this type of hair loss, some treatment options exist.
Treatment can reduce further hair loss and for some men regrow some of their hair. Those who tend to see the best results start treatment soon after noticing hair loss.
Book an online assessment and video consultation to discuss what is the best treatment options for you.
HAIRLOSS IN WOMEN
Female pattern hair loss also known as androgenetic alopecia is thought to affect around 40 % of women by the time they reach 50 and is fairly common.
For most women Female pattern hair loss begins in midlife and is a progressive condition.
However, women do not lose all their hair like men. Instead, the parting often gets wider. Hair near the temples may recede. Without treatment some women eventually develop widespread thinning.
Treatment can reduce further hair loss and for some men regrow some of their hair. Those who tend to see the best results start treatment soon after noticing hair loss.

TREATMENTS
We specialise in non surgical hair loss treatment to reduce the need or delay hair transplantation.
After your initial assessment you might be offered the following medical option or combination options:
Steroid injection (Face to Face Appointment)
Oral minoxidil
Minoxidil is a successful hair treatment as an oral medication. It is commonly used as a scalp foam or lotion. Minoxidil can also be taken orally as a tablet, and increasingly this is being recognised by Dermatologists as an effective and convenient way of treating hair concerns. Minoxidil has minimal side effects.
Finasteride
Finasteride works as a type II 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. This means that it stops testosterone from ultimately becoming dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This a hormonal treatment which means it has potential side effects.

Spironolactone can help in Female pattern hair loss because it blocks the effects of androgens and progesterone on the skin and hair follicles.
