At the hairloss and scalp clinic, we adopt a holistic approach when it comes to caring for the hair and scalp of our patients. Holistic in the sense that we consider both the internal and external factors that could affect the growth, appearance and absolute best feel of the hair. We empathize with all of our patients and do understand that hair is important and can affect day-to-day morale, self-confidence and also individual personalities hence we assure them that we are part of their journey of hairloss and scalp regeneration until the point where they have their self confidence back.

From years of Trichological experience, one can testify that if hair that is damaged by physical or chemical means or hereditary scalp problems is excluded, poor hair in terms of it’s appearance and response to dressing reflects the internal function. Therefore the quality of hair in deteriorating scalp and hair conditions is often the result of changes in the body when the metabolism is disturbed. Therefore, a healthy hair also needs to be supported by a healthy lifestyle and diet. Based on this understanding, our clinic offers treatment for a wide range of serious hair and scalp conditions ranging from genetic and nutritional related hair loss, alopecia areata and scarring alopecia to psoriasis, neurodermatitis and severe scaling and flaking of the scalp. However, treatments are also available for cosmetic damage such as very dry, damaged and overly-processed hair. We also cater for afro type scalp and hair conditions during consultation we always take into account the patient’s medical history and diet – addressing underlying factors as well as the immediate appearance of your hair.

We pride ourselves in the fact that most of our patients are happy with our successful treatment which we are able to achieve through our wealth of experience, specialist training, thorough consultation, personalized treatments, frequent reviews and holistic approach.
