The Facts: Alopecia Areata is an extremely common condition and will affect 1% to 2% of the population at some point in their lives. Most sufferers are children and young adults (below 40 years old), though it can affect people of all ages. The hair loss is sudden and manifests itself in small, smooth-skinned patches that are likely to gradually widen with time. It can also affect the sufferer’s nails, giving them a pitted, ridged or brittle appearance. The exact cause is still unknown, although current theories include an auto-immune disease, stress or suggest a genetic basis.
The Results: After just 6 months.

Question: Are hair loss treatments available on the NHS?
Answer: Unfortunately the simple answer is no. All of the FDA approved regrowth stimulants are either chargeable by private prescription through a private clinic or practice, as the problem of hair loss is still regarded as a cosmetic problem by the Government funded NHS. Some less effective stimulants are available over the counter. If in doubt seek advice from one of our trichologists.
