What causes hair loss?

​

Losing hair can be a daunting experience making you feel uncomfortable, socially anxious and unconfident.  Hair has been known to protect the head from direct sunlight but it is also a known attractive feature and millions are spent each year on hair products and hair stylists.

Hair loss can occur for a variety of reasons and hair loss patterns can determine as to why the hair loss has been caused.  For example male pattern baldness is generally seen as a receding hairline from the front and a bald spot on the crown of the head.  Male pattern baldness primarily occurs due to hormonal changes and your body being sensitive to dihydrotestosterone (a metabolite of testosterone).  Hair loss can also occur for other reasons such as: menopause, autoimmune conditions, certain medication (e.g. certain oral or invasive contraceptives), thyroid gland issues, lifestyle factors and being low on essential nutrients.
 

What treatments are available?

 1) Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP):

​

PRP is well known treatment which has been used successfully for many years.  It works by drawing a small amount of blood from the arm and centrifuging the sample to extract the plasma.  The plasma contains a high level of growth factors and is injected back into the scalp. This nourishes the hair follicle and promotes a high level of hair growth and increased blood flow to the area.  They also prolong the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle.

Compared to hair growth tablets (which have to be taken daily) and various scalp applications such as regaine (which show limited results), our technique has no side effects and does not require daily treatment.  Furthermore, results are greater as we reach deeper into the skin which topical applications fail to do.
 

 

How does it work?

A minimum of 3-4 sessions, a month apart, are required to stimulate hair growth.  The frequency can then be reduced to once every three monthly and then once every six monthly thereafter if deemed appropriate. 

Note: PRP will only be supplied after a consultation with the practitioner has been completed.

Price per PRP session: £225
(includes biotin injection, PRP hair treatment and LED light therapy)
