As a dedicated trichologist based in Woodside Park Finchley, North London, I specialise in diagnosing and treating hair thinning and scalp conditions. With over 20 years of clinical experience, I have developed a deep understanding of various hair and scalp issues affecting individuals.
Hair thinning can be a distressing experience, often resulting from factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or underlying health conditions. It’s essential to identify the root cause to provide effective treatment.
During your initial consultation, which typically lasts up to an hour, I will gather comprehensive information about your medical history, current medications, nutritional status, lifestyle, and hair care practices. This is followed by a thorough examination of your hair and scalp, which may include digital microscopy. Based on the findings, I offer personalised treatment plans that may include:
Nutritional Guidance: Advising on a diet that supports hair health.
Topical Applications: Utilising products designed to stimulate hair growth and improve scalp condition.
Lifestyle Recommendations: Suggesting changes to daily routines that may contribute to hair thinning. In cases where further investigation is necessary, such as blood tests, I will coordinate with your GP to arrange these.
If appropriate, I can also provide advice on surgical hair restoration and make referrals during your consultation.
This hair condition can affect anyone. It is not like the patchy hair loss condition of Alopecia Areata. However, that can sometimes present itself in a diffuse form. One usually notices more hair than normal in your hair brush or the basin after washing. The normal hair growth cycle, which can last from 2 – 6 years depending on your racial trait, gets interrupted and enters a pre-mature resting stage whereby 2- 3 weeks later, it is shed from the scalp. Normal daily hair shedding is between 60 – 100 hairs, this is greatly increased.
There are a number of causes for this. The most common are Post childbirth when hormones are re-adjusting. Loss of blood after an accident or operation. Some drugs can cause this, i.e. Beta blockers. Nutritional deficiency is an area that Trichologists will also explore. Long term conditions that may not be diagnosed yet include Pre diabetic states, thyroid function and Vitamin and Mineral status. These possibilities will be explored when visiting a Trichologist, and blood tests will confirm most diagnoses. Once the cause has been identified there can often be more than one. Treatment can reverse this condition.

This condition is caused by the action of traction and pulling on the hair over a long period of time, resulting in weaknesses in the Henley and Huxley layer and gradual shrinking of the hair follicle. Lack of visibility of the follicle and scarring indicate complete destruction of the follicle. There is often follicular inflammation, which can sometimes lead to infection. Early treatment intervention and a change of styling habits is key here.
Manual traction leading to initial progressive marginal hair line loss. Repeated chemical action for prolonged periods and incorrect application can also have a degenerative effect on the hair follicle. Examples include: Bleaching , Relaxer, Perm, Radio therapy and freezing.
