GOODBYE
to bad
hair days
Hair is like the weather. The way it
looks fi rst thing in the morning dictates
what kind of day we will have
Over the last
few years,
techniques
have developed
B
ut unfortunately, for most, this usually
means a bad hair day because it’s
estimated that around six million
women in the UK are affected by thinning,
lifeless hair…or worse…baldness!
Hair loss is far from an exclusively male
problem. Women have 40 per cent chance
of developing thinning hair and hair loss in
their lifetimes and, like men, genetics is
the main culprit. But there are many other
factors that affect hair health including stress,
a poor diet and physical damage to the
follicles from excessive styling or harsh
chemical treatments. Throw
menopause into the mix, and you
are also looking at breakage, frizz,
dryness and dull, lacklustre colour.
First course of action is to see
your doctor for assessment
and to rule out any underlying
medical conditions. Then come and see us
in the Clinic because for general thinning hair
there are now a number of treatments from
surgery…to helping boost regrowth.
For instance, PRP Hair Boosting Therapy,
a new treatment which uses platelet rich
plasma from your own blood which is then
mixed with growth factors and injected into
the scalp to help stimulate hair follicles. A
course of 3 treatments is recommended to
restore health and hair.
Or you could try Hair Surgery. Figures show
that more and more women are having hair
restoration surgery to address patchy hair
loss. Over the last few years, techniques have
developed enormously and hair grafts have
become increasingly smaller and refi ned and
new technologies also mean it is virtually
impossible to tell when someone has had
treatment. Under local anaesthetic, hair is
taken from the donor area at the back of the
head and transferred into the areas of hair
loss. Once repositioned the hair rests for up
to 16 weeks and then starts its natural growth
cycle – around nine months later there will be
a great improvement in the density of hair.
Come and see us, and say
goodbye to bad hair days.
