“My hair had been shedding and was beginning to visibly look thinner, particularly around the front hairline and sides. This was making me feel very stressed and down and I was constantly thinking and worrying about my hair all the time. I was seen by Lukas, who diagnosed my condition as Telogen Effluvium, which can be onset by a stressful event or accumulative stress over a period of time. I was given a regime to follow including, shampoo and conditioner, scalp stimulator and enzyme tablets. I left the clinic feeling so much happier, firstly by having had a confirmed diagnosis but also feeling that I now had some control over my situation. After about 5 weeks of following the regime daily, I could see new growth coming through which was amazing. Nearly a year on my hair looks thicker and healthier. After a few months of visiting the clinic the first time, my 6 year old daughter developed a fungal scalp infection which was not treated with the right medication by our GP. Consequently the infection got worse and she ended up with a bald spot on the top of her head about the size of a 10 pence. This was devastating, not knowing whether this might be permanent (as was a distinct possibility as advised by a Paediatrician). After having the infection dealt with by a dermatologist I immediately brought my daughter to the Hair Clinic. Again, we were given a regime to follow, including shampoo and conditioner appropriate for my daughter’s scalp and hair. After 6 weeks of following the regime my daughter had new growth and this was such a relief, more so than for myself. Her hair may have grown back on it’s own eventually but I’m convinced that it came back quicker as a result of the regime we followed.”
