Hair Thinning & Hair Loss

Stockbridge clinic

What causes hair loss?

Hair thinning, or hair loss, can be caused by a variety of factors, and it can affect both men and women. Common causes include:

- Pregnancy and Childbirth: Many women experience hair thinning after pregnancy due to fluctuating hormones.
- Menopause: Decreased estrogen and progesterone levels can lead to thinning hair in women.
- Thyroid Imbalances: Both hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) and hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) can lead to hair thinning.
- Deficiencies in essential nutrients, such as iron, vitamin D, vitamin B12, zinc, and biotin, can contribute to hair thinning.
- Stress. Physical or emotional stress can trigger telogen effluvium, a condition where hair prematurely enters the resting (telogen) phase, leading to shedding.
Stress may also exacerbate other conditions like alopecia areata.
- Aging. As people age, hair naturally becomes thinner and weaker. Hair follicles gradually shrink, and the growth phase shortens, leading to thinner strands.

Fortunately, there are many non-surgical treatments that can help individuals experiencing hair thinning and hair loss.

What treatments help hair loss?

Fortunately, many non-surgical treatments can work to limit and even reverse hair loss. At The Stockbridge Clinic our clinicians are experts in the use of regenerative hair loss treatments. Our signature regenerative hair loss programme includes several evidence-based treatments, combining exosome therapy, platelet-rich plasma, Dermalux LED Therapy and prescribed topical homecare.

Hair Loss Treatment

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and exosomes are both regenerative treatments used to promote hair regrowth by stimulating the hair follicles. PRP involves drawing a patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting the plasma into the scalp. The platelets release growth factors that enhance circulation, stimulate dormant hair follicles, and promote new hair growth. Exosomes, which are small vesicles containing growth factors and proteins, can be injected into the scalp to improve cellular communication, promote healing, and stimulate hair follicles.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a medical treatment that uses a patient’s own blood to promote healing and rejuvenation. Blood is drawn, processed to concentrate platelets, and then re-injected into targeted areas of the body or skin. PRP is rich in growth factors that stimulate tissue repair, collagen production, and cellular regeneration. It’s commonly used for treating hair loss, skin rejuvenation, and wound healing, as well as for improving the appearance of scars and stretch marks.

Exosomes

Exosomes are small, naturally occurring vesicles released by cells that play a key role in cell communication and tissue repair. In skincare, exosome therapy involves using these vesicles, often derived from stem cells, to promote healing and rejuvenation. Exosomes contain proteins, lipids, and RNA that can stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, and support cellular regeneration. When applied topically or injected, exosomes help improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance overall skin health by promoting faster healing and renewal.

Dermalux LED Therapy

Dermalux therapy is a non-invasive light-based treatment that uses LED (light-emitting diode) technology to improve skin health. It works by exposing the skin to specific wavelengths of light—blue, red, and near-infrared—to target various skin concerns. Blue light kills acne-causing bacteria, reducing breakouts, while red light stimulates collagen production, promoting skin rejuvenation and reducing fine lines. Near-infrared light penetrates deeper to enhance tissue repair and reduce inflammation.
