KL's Best Hair Loss Treatment Clinic

The health of our hair and scalp is equally important as our face. However, we subject our hair (and scalp) to UV exposure, harsh chemical treatments and hair products that irritate the scalp. Over time, the scalp may develop conditions like dryness, oiliness, eczema, acne, and pimples which may lead to hair loss. In addition, more people are suffering from scalp and hair problems due to stress, poor sleeping habits, and unhealthy lifestyle.

If it’s topped with a crown of thinning, weak hair, what’s the point in having a smooth, flawless skin? People do not seek medical help very often until it is in an advanced stage of hair loss. When that happens, it is often more challenging to treat and encourage healthy hair growth.

Hair care starts from the scalp. It is better to pay more attention to care for the scalp for healthy hair growth.

At CLEO Clinic we provide a full range of treatment for hair loss including prescription medication , Hair regrowth factor , photo modulation and also PRP hair regrowth therapy .  PRP THERAPY is an intense skin healing treatment that repairs and deeply rejuvenates the scalp from the inside. Unlike other conventional scalp treatments that manage the superficial condition and provide symptomatic relief, PRP Therapy aims to strengthen the scalp and provide an ideal foundation for thicker, healthier hair to grow.

Hair Loss that affects most men during their lifetime. In most cases this type of hair loss is gradual, developing over a period of 20 to 30 years. However younger men can also be affected, and in extreme cases men can completely lose their hair by their early twenties. The rate of hair loss depends on a personal’s genetic disposition and pattern baldness also affects women.

The first signs of male pattern baldness are a receding hairline at the front of the head, and thinning of the hair on top. This progresses to a bald patch developing on the top of the head, which gradually enlarges. Over time the area of hair loss extends to cover most of the scalp, leaving in some cases a rim of hair around the back and sides. This rim then thins in some men to leave them completely hairless.

The earlier male pattern baldness is treated, the better the chances of preventing full hair loss. Male pattern baldness contact us now to arrange your free consultation in our London clinic.

The Cause of Male Pattern Baldness
Hair is made in hair follicles under the surface of the skin. A healthy hair will normally grow for about three years before falling out and being replaced by a new hair.

In cases of male pattern baldness, this cycle of growth and regrowth is disrupted by the affect of hormones on the hair follicles.

Testosterone, a hormone produced by both men and women is converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. DHT attaches itself to the hair follicles and causes them to become smaller. As the follicle shrinks, each hair grows thinner than the previous one, and the hair grows for less time than normal before falling out. Eventually the follicle becomes so small that there is only a thin tip of hair left that no longer grows out to the skin surface.

What is female pattern hair loss?
Androgenetic alopecia or female pattern baldness is the most common form of hair loss found in women today. It is similar to the common form of hair loss suffered by males and known as male pattern baldness, manifesting itself in an equally predicable but different way. The condition can be very difficult for most women to accept since a large part of a woman’s identity is tied up in her hair. A woman’s hair plays a central and pivotal role in the way she is perceived by others and in her perception of herself, so to start losing it, can be very worrying.

Who does female pattern baldness affect?
1 in 4 women suffer from female pattern hair loss. It is a condition resulting from the parental gene pool. If both a woman’s parents carry the hair loss gene it is quite likely that she will suffer from female pattern hair loss.

What are the symptoms?
Just as male pattern baldness follows a distinctive pattern, so does female pattern baldness. A female sufferer will notice a diffuse thinning of her across the entirety of her scalp initially, followed by the development of a bald patch running from the front of her scalp, in a quite straight line, to the back of her head, as if following the line of a central parting. In time, this bald line will expand to the left and right until, eventually she is left bald.

What causes female pattern hair loss?
Female pattern baldness is caused by inherited genetic influences and an over production of the male hormone testosterone. Female pattern hair loss may begin as early as puberty. In these cases if there are signs of hormone imbalance, such as excess facial or body hair, a hormone check should be carried out.

Is it treatable?
In many cases female pattern baldness is treatable; the key is to catch it early and to treat it early . Our treatments  have been specifically formulated to stabilise the hair root. They will strengthen the hair follicles and stimulate blood flow in the scalp. Tailored to suit each woman’s individual needs, our treatments will stop further hair loss and in many cases, result in hair re-growth.

There are many reasons why a person, male or female, may experience thinning hair. The important thing to note is that this does not necessarily have to lead to hair loss or baldness. True, if nothing is done about it, then the chances are it will, but as with most things, given right and timely treatment, the trend can be slowed, halted and in many cases, reversed.

Over half the population will, at some stage in their lives experience thinning hair and you only have to look around in a crowd, to realise just how common an issue this is. You will see that there are those who do what they can to hide the fact that they are losing their hair, and there are those who simply accept it as a normal part of the aging process. Some will wear hats or headscarves and some will adopt different hairstyles to accommodate it. Some will embrace it while others will seek treatment to arrest it.

Key to the successful treatment of hair thinning and the prevention of men or women’s hair loss, is swift action taken at the appropriate time. The earlier you respond to it, the better your chances are of reversing the process and maintaining a full head of hair.

The process of going bald can be split into three distinct sections. These are thinning hair, hair loss and baldness. The process begins with hair shedding, and it is at this stage, at the very beginning of the process, that retaining treatments are at their most effective. Do not ignore the issue or hope it will sort itself out; there is every chance it will get worse.

Thinning hair can be seen in both men and women and in fact, in females it forms a representative part of what’s known as female pattern baldness. The pattern of baldness in females is different to that in males in that, in females the full head of hair goes through a shedding process, resulting in an overall thinning of what is still, a full head of hair. Male pattern baldness, on the other hand, is characterised by full baldness occurring in patches across the scalp.

Hair thinning is the result of a reduction in the size of the hair follicle and this is caused by there being too much Dihydrotestosterone present in the blood. DHT attaches to the hair follicle, reducing the size of the follicular aperture and this results in the hair being squeezed, leading to a thinner shaft. The more the hair is squeezed, the thinner the shaft becomes until it is eventually choked off.

It is recommended that hair shedding should be treated as early as possible because as has just been described, it is progressive. With each growth cycle, from Anagen to Catagen and through to Telogen, the affected hair follicle will reduce in width, until it is no longer sustainable and the hair falls out. Catch it early and you halt this progression.
