WHAT WE DO:
We offer an initial hour-long consultation with a hair & scalp expert. Prescribed hour-long hair and scalp treatments are also available, in which all products are specifically selected and custom mixed for your individual need.
The clinic works extensively with research and development labs in relation to hair loss and hair loss treatments, both in the UK and the United States.
We incorporate the use of Aromatherapy oils, Herbal preparations, Nutritional assessment and Scalp massage where needed to deliver a holistic approach that ensures the health of the scalp. The use of Electro-therapy is also used based on scalp assessments. Hair`& Scalp assessments are carried out with the use of both light microscope and Scalp Scope allowing for a clear and accurate assessment of condition and measured improvement.
We encourage ALL patients with or with out an onset hair and scalp condition to have an annual health scalp check to identify any scalp conditions before they become acute thus preventing any issues for future hair services.
HAIR HEALTH AND SCALP CHECK
This combined diagnostic and consultation session identifies any signs of
Hair Loss, Thinning Hair and Scalp Conditions.
HAIR LOSS TREATMENT RESULTS WITH 'SCOPE SESSIONS'
Scope Sessions devised by The Hair & Scalp Clinic are used to make accurate assessments of the performance of hair loss treatments. This evaluation of individual's results allows for a prescribed and managed treatment plan to both maintain or solve the underline hair loss and or scalp condition.
Electro-therapy
Electro-therapy may improve hair growth. We use High frequency, infer-red therapy alongside therapeutic vasodilatation. This is normally administered during follow up appointments every 2-4 weeks. Follow up appointments: We allocate a full half hour of one to one time for our follow-up appointments. We examine your scalp thoroughly and update you on the progress – we can even show you your new hair growth using our micro camera. Follow up appointments are important to ensure you are carrying out our suggestions properly to give your hair maximum chance of recovery. We may also change your suggested regime as your hair improves.

Male pattern hair loss
Usually starts either with a recession to the temples or a diffuse thinning to the crown and can be followed in some cases by a gradual thinning, then a complete denuding of the top. Very rarely is the hair lost on the sides and back although men over seventy can lose hair in the neck area. Both the Hamilton and the Norwood scales classify Androgenetic hair loss in men.
Androgenic hair loss has three causative factors: genetic predisposition, the presence of the androgen testosterone and the age of the patient.
Male pattern baldness is more commonly inherited from the maternal grandfather.
At puberty, more of the male hormone testosterone circulates around the body causing hairs that are genetically programmed (in the pattern areas) to produce finer and shorter hairs with each new cycle of hair growth. Testosterone reaches the target organ, in this case the hair follicle, where the enzyme 5α-reductase changes testosterone into the highly potent hormone di-hydro testosterone, which causes the above affects.
Female Pattern Hair Loss
Female pattern hair loss
Presents a diffuse thinning to the front and crown area of the scalp (Ludwig pattern) and never at the sides and back from this reason alone. Partings seem wider and the scalp seems more noticeable at the front and the top of the head.
This is a slow, gradual process and rarely does it completely denude the area.
Androgenetic hair loss in women usually begins with the hormone changes after puberty, pregnancy or menopause and is fairly common in ladies over 80 years of age. Although there is normally no increased hair shedding noticed with this type of loss, there are cases of long-term excess shedding (telogen effluvium) that precede this condition. Androgenetic hair loss has three causative factors, age, inheritance and the presence of the hormone testosterone.
Postmenopausal thinning is related to oestrogen reduction.
