Alopecia is a medical term used to describe several different kinds of hair loss. It’s a very common condition, affecting more than 40% of women aged 40 or over, and more than 50% of men. It’s a medical condition that can carry a significant psychological burden, and a lot of people experience genuine psychological distress that can persist for many years after the onset of alopecia. It’s easy for those who’ve never suffered hair loss to trivialise the problem, but the fact remains that our hair is integral to our identity.

Many of our patients experience high levels of social anxiety and depression, brought on by their hair loss. They feel robbed of their youth and personality. They don’t recognise the person in the mirror.
We see our treatments as an answer, not only to hair loss, but the emotional and psychological issues that can result.
ABOUT HAIR TRANSPLANTSBy far the most common form of alopecia, this genetically-inherited condition is also known as Male Pattern Baldness (MBP) in men, and Female Pattern Baldness (FPB) in women.
Androgenic Alopecia is caused by a hormone called DHT. As testosterone is broken down by the body's metabolism, different hormones are created, including DHT. As the body gets older, genetic factors can cause the amount of DHT created to increase.
The excess DHT then binds with receptor proteins in the hair follicles in certain areas of the scalp. The areas affected are slightly different for men and women, resulting in different patterns of baldness. Hair loss is measured differently for men and women – men's hair loss is measured using the Norwood scale, while women's hair loss is measured with the Ludwig scale.
The follicles affected by DHT begin to shrink, and the resulting hair is brittle and falls out more easily. The growth cycle of the follicle becomes shorter, until eventually the hair is too weak to push through the skin. The follicle will now only grow vellus hairs (soft, light hairs that are typically found on infant children, mostly disappearing during puberty).
Traction alopecia is a form of hair loss caused by pressure on the hair shaft and follicle. This pressure is commonly caused by overly-tight, tied-back hairstyles like braids or plaits.
If identified early, traction alopecia can be reversed by adopting hairstyles which don't result in pressure or tension. It will still take between six months and a year for the hairline to recover. However, if the patient continues to place the hair follicles under pressure, the damage can become permanent.
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disease, where the immune system surrounds the hair follicles with white blood cells which then attack the follicles, causing the hair to fall out. The scalp is most commonly affected, but patients may also experience hair loss on other areas of the body.
Hair loss can be caused by a variety of factors. These include;
Thankfully, hair loss due to these factors is often temporary, and addressing the root causes of the hair loss is usually enough to promote hair regrowth.

I would thoroughly recommend Dr Arshad @ the Hair Dr and his team. They have done an astonishing job that I thought was unachievable and exceeded my expectations. After the procedure, Dr Arshad explained the aftercare requirements in detail. I was then given a comprehensive aftercare package with an easy-to-follow video and checklist.
Dr Arshad was amazing. He went into great detail about the procedure and what to expect, explaining the best way to achieve optimal results from both his side and my aftercare routine. The aftercare was very well provided, including a clear step-by-step chart for the 7 days following the procedure. All the staff were incredibly kind and made me feel comfortable throughout the day. I’m happy with the results so far and now waiting for the initial growth over the coming months.
I had wanted to undergo this procedure for quite some time, but finding the right clinic was not easy. After my 11-hour day yesterday and previous consultations with the highly professional and knowledgeable Dr Arshad, I know I made the right decision choosing this team. The clinic is lovely, and the team is friendly and caring. A big thank you to Laura, Samina, Sarah, and Jenna for taking such great care of me alongside Dr Arshad. As a clinician myself, I would wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to any of my patients needing this type of treatment.
Dr Arshad and his team were excellent from my initial consultation through to the end of the procedure. It has been a week since my surgery, and my hair already looks great. The donor area is almost completely healed and barely noticeable. On the day of the procedure, the entire team, including the technicians, were friendly and welcoming. The aftercare package was very well prepared, and everything was explained clearly. I’m really looking forward to seeing the full results over the next few months.
I came in for an FUE hair transplant on 20th July. Dr Arshad and the entire team were fantastic from start to finish. They made me feel comfortable and explained everything clearly throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend them enough to anyone considering the procedure. I’m excited to see the final results. Thank you all!
