Utilises the patients own platelets which release growth factors into the scalp. These can help support follicle regeneration, scalp blood supply and extend the growth phase of the hair follicle.

Polynucleotides are naturally derived DNA fragments that work to repair and revitalise the skin and scalp at a cellular level. When injected into the scalp, they help to improve hydration, elasticity and tissue regeneration by supporting fibroblast activity and reducing inflammation creating a healthier environment for the hair and scalp.

Minoxidil promotes hair growth by widening tiny blood vessels in the scalp and stimulating the hair follicle’s active cells. This increases oxygen and nutrient delivery, upregulates growth factors such as VEGF, and helps prolong the hair’s growth (anagen) phase. Over time, follicles produce thicker, stronger hairs and can show improved density in areas affected by thinning. It can be taken as a tablet or applied as a topical foam.

Finasteride for Women

Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that can weaken hair follicles over time. It is suitable only for postmenopausal women, as it should not be used during pregnancy or when there is a chance of becoming pregnant. Under medical supervision, finasteride can help to slow shedding and support thicker, stronger hair growth.

When Oestrogen and Progesterone levels drop in midlife, hair loss can accelerate because DHT can become more dominant. DHT is the androgen which causes thinning of the hair on the top and crown of the head typically after menopause. HRT is not licensed primarily for hair loss but can help support the bigger picture.

This is not an exhaustive list, there are other options to be considered, such as other anti androgen therapies and triamcinolone injections for localised alopecia area. Please ask when booking if there is a particular treatment you are interested in.
