Hair loss is one of the most common aesthetic and medical concerns affecting both men and women globally. Whether it’s a gradual thinning or sudden shedding, hair loss can deeply impact self-esteem and emotional wellbeing. At Beauty Digger Clinic, led by Dr. Alexa, we understand how personal and distressing this journey can be, which is why we’ve tailored our treatments to target not just the symptoms, but the root causes.
In this post, we’ll walk you through what causes hair loss, the different types of hair loss, and the most effective, science-backed treatments we offer — including polynucleotides, microneedling with exosomes, PRP, medications, and red light therapy, which we provide as a complimentary add-on with all our treatments.
What Causes Hair Loss?
Hair loss can result from a range of factors, and understanding the underlying cause is essential for effective treatment. The most common causes include:
-
Genetics: Hereditary hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most prevalent type in both men and women.
-
Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, menopause, thyroid disorders, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can trigger temporary or permanent hair loss.
-
Stress and trauma: Physical or emotional stress can lead to telogen effluvium, where a large number of hair follicles enter the resting phase and fall out.
-
Nutritional deficiencies: Lack of iron, vitamin D, biotin, and protein can weaken the hair shaft and slow growth.
-
Medical conditions: Autoimmune disorders like alopecia areata, scalp infections, or underlying chronic illnesses can also cause hair loss.
-
Hairstyling habits: Excessive heat, tight hairstyles (traction alopecia), and harsh chemicals can damage hair follicles over time.
Types of Hair Loss
Recognizing the type of hair loss is key to choosing the right treatment. The main types include:
-
Androgenetic Alopecia (male or female pattern baldness): A genetic condition marked by thinning hair on the crown, temples, or a widening part.
-
Telogen Effluvium: Temporary shedding caused by stress, illness, or hormonal shifts. Hair typically regrows within a few months.
-
Alopecia Areata: An autoimmune condition that causes patchy bald spots on the scalp or body.
-
Traction Alopecia: Caused by repeated tension on the hair from tight hairstyles.
-
Scarring Alopecia: Permanent hair loss due to inflammation or injury that destroys hair follicles.
Effective Treatments for Hair Loss at Beauty Digger Clinic
At Beauty Digger Clinic in Mayfair, we believe in combining science, innovation, and personalised care. We offer the most advanced, non-surgical treatments that work synergistically to stimulate hair regrowth and restore confidence.
1. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
One of the most trusted regenerative treatments, PRP uses your body’s own platelets to heal and stimulate hair follicles. After drawing a small amount of your blood, we centrifuge it to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, which is then injected into the scalp. The growth factors in PRP promote cell regeneration, improve blood supply, and awaken dormant follicles. Results can be visible in as little as 3 sessions.
2. Microneedling with Exosomes
Microneedling creates microchannels in the scalp, enhancing product penetration and collagen production. When combined with exosomes – potent cellular messengers derived from stem cells – this treatment offers remarkable regenerative power. Exosomes deliver growth factors, proteins, and genetic material to promote new hair growth and improve scalp health.
3. Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides are bio-revitalising molecules extracted from salmon DNA, proven to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and increase fibroblast activity. When injected into the scalp, polynucleotides improve tissue quality and support hair follicle health. Particularly effective for inflammatory conditions or damaged scalp, this treatment is a breakthrough for individuals with thinning or sparse hair.
4. Medications (Topical & Oral)
For certain types of hair loss, medical management may be the most suitable solution. At our clinic, we assess whether prescription medications like topical minoxidil or oral finasteride are appropriate. We also recommend tailored supplementation when deficiencies are identified, supporting hair from the inside out.
5. Red Light Therapy – Our Gift to You
Red light therapy (low-level laser therapy or LLLT) is a non-invasive, clinically proven method to stimulate hair growth by improving cellular energy and circulation in the scalp. We include red light therapy as a complimentary add-on to every hair loss treatment. This enhances results by boosting follicle responsiveness and reducing inflammation. It’s our way of making sure you get the most from your treatment journey.
