Your appointment includes a detailed consultation, clinical scalp examination, trichoscopy and, where included, blood testing. Your symptoms, medical history, nutrition, medications and lifestyle are reviewed before a personalised treatment plan is out together.

I assess a wide range of hair and scalp conditions, including chronic telogen effluvium, androgenetic alopecia, traction alopecia, alopecia areata, central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia, frontal fibrosing alopecia, seborrhoeic dermatitis and unexplained hair thinning.

No treatment can guarantee results because every case of hair loss is different. My approach focuses on identifying the biological factors contributing to your hair loss and combining them with the treatment pathway most likely to produce a meaningful response. For many people, this means slowing or stabilising hair loss and achieving significant improvements in shedding, density or hair quality over the following months.

I can advise on over-the-counter treatments and discuss prescription medications that may be appropriate. Where necessary, I can write to your GP or refer you to a dermatologist to support your ongoing care.

This depends on your diagnosis and treatment plan. Improvements in shedding are often seen within a three to four months, while changes in density typically take four to twelve months. Your progress can be monitored throughout treatment if you attend follow-up appointments.
