pumpkins, spinach and kale into your diet as they
are all high in beta-carotene which is turned into
vitamin A. You can get B-vitamins from many foods,
including whole grains, almonds, meat, fish, seafood
and dark, leafy greens. For vitamin D consume fish,
seafood and egg yolks.

CONSIDER PRP FOR THE SCALP
PRP or Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy works
by taking a small amount of blood and
separating it in a centrifuge. The platelet rich plasma
contains stem cells and growth factors which are
separated from your blood and injected into the scalp.
The growth factors then stimulate the activity of the
hair follicles and promote hair growth.
It takes a matter of minutes to take blood and
then around 10 minutes to spin it in the centrifuge
to separate it. Afterwards, there’s no significant
downtime or scarring and from six weeks most of
my patients will start to notice a response, usually
describing thicker and better quality hair.

TRY TO REDUCE STRESS
Stress can have a significant impact on a
patient’s overall health and in turn a person’s
hair. Stress raises androgen levels which can be
linked to hair loss. Stress can also give rise to a
number of other issues such as scalp problems (i.e.
dandruff) and change in eating habits which in turn
can impact the hair.
Try to eat a balanced diet and eat regularly. Foods
that release their energy slowly like complex
carbohydrates help avoid sudden crashes. Eating
a diet rich in green leafy vegetables, wholegrains,
legumes, nuts and seeds will help you achieve daily
levels of the B Vitamins, Zinc and Magnesium that
have been shown to help control anxiety and stress.
Exercise and meditation as well as adequate sleep is
vital to reducing stress. See a doctor if you’re finding
it difficult to cope.

INVEST IN HAIR RESTORATION
Hair restoration surgery can be an extremely
effective option for people experiencing
hair thinning and bald patches. It involves minimal
discomfort, once the local anaesthetic has been
administered it is generally pain-free. The procedure
that I perform at The Private Clinic is usually
performed in one day and you are able to go home
straight after. The average age of the patient that I
see for a hair transplant is 35.5 years and 98% of my
patients report that their hair transplant surgery has
significantly improved their confidence and selfesteem.
