Understanding Your Hair Loss
Hair loss affects millions of people across the UK—both men and women. Whether you’re experiencing male pattern baldness, female pattern hair loss, postpartum shedding, or thinning due to stress or ageing, early intervention makes a real difference.
The truth about hair loss treatment: Modern medical therapies can stimulate hair growth, strengthen existing follicles, and slow or even reverse hair loss in many cases—but only when you choose the right treatment and start early enough.
In my Leeds clinic, I’ve helped hundreds of clients restore their hair density using proven, non-surgical medical treatments.
Treatment Option 1: Scalp Microneedling
From £250 per session | Proven effectiveness | Minimal downtime
Microneedling is a highly effective treatment that uses fine medical needles to create controlled micro-injuries in your scalp. This stimulates your body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen production and increasing blood flow to hair follicles.
How It Works
The medical-grade microneedling device creates thousands of tiny channels in your scalp, triggering the release of growth factors and dramatically increasing circulation. Dormant hair follicles are stimulated back into the growth phase, whilst existing hair becomes thicker and healthier.
Key Benefits
- Stimulates natural hair regrowth through your body’s healing response
- Improves scalp health and microcirculation
- Increases absorption of any topical hair treatments you use
- Minimal downtime—back to normal activities immediately
- Suitable for most types of hair loss
- Proven, cost-effective option
Best For
- Male and female pattern baldness
- Diffuse thinning across the scalp
- Receding hairlines
- Improving overall hair density and thickness
- Anyone wanting proven results at an accessible price
What to Expect
Treatment: 30-45 minutes with numbing cream applied first. Most clients find this comfortable—some describe a slight scratching sensation.
Sessions: Typically 4-6 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart
Results: Initial improvements visible from 2-3 months, optimal results at 6-12 months
Maintenance: Every 6-12 months to preserve results
Aftercare: Avoid washing hair for 24-48 hours. Mild redness for 1-2 days (completely normal).
Treatment Option 2: Polynucleotides
Premium regenerative treatment | Advanced cellular repair | Long-lasting results
Polynucleotides represent the cutting edge of regenerative medicine for hair restoration. These DNA-derived molecules work at a cellular level to rejuvenate hair follicles and create an optimal environment for regrowth.
How It Works
Extracted from highly purified salmon DNA (which is remarkably biocompatible with human tissue), polynucleotides are injected into your scalp where they:
- Stimulate cellular regeneration and repair
- Activate dormant hair follicles
- Extend the active growth phase of hair
- Improve scalp tissue quality, hydration, and elasticity
- Provide powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects
Key Benefits
- Advanced bio-regenerative technology
- Targets hair loss at the cellular level
- Improves overall scalp health alongside hair growth
- Longer-lasting results than some alternatives
- Natural bio-stimulation using your body’s repair mechanisms
- Often more effective for stubborn or advanced cases
Best For
- Moderate to advanced hair loss
- Clients wanting the latest regenerative treatment
- Those who haven’t responded well to other treatments
- Comprehensive scalp rejuvenation
- Long-term investment in hair restoration
What to Expect
Treatment: 30-45 minutes with multiple micro-injections across the scalp. Generally well-tolerated with minimal discomfort.
Sessions: Typically 3-4 sessions, spaced 3-4 weeks apart
Results: Visible improvements from 3-4 months, optimal results at 6-9 months
Maintenance: Every 9-12 months (less frequent than other treatments)
Aftercare: Avoid washing hair for 24-48 hours. Minimal redness or tenderness for 1-2 days.

Does hair loss treatment actually work?
Yes, when appropriate candidates receive suitable treatment. Both microneedling and polynucleotides have substantial clinical evidence supporting effectiveness. However, results depend on your hair loss type, severity, duration, and whether follicles remain viable. Earlier intervention typically yields better results.
How quickly will I see results?
Yes, when appropriate candidates receive the right treatment. PRP and mesotherapy have significant clinical evidence supporting their effectiveness. However, results vary depending on the type and severity of hair loss, how long you’ve had it, and whether follicles are still viable. Generally, earlier intervention yields better results.
Is treatment painful?
Yes, when appropriate candidates receive the right treatment. PRP and mesotherapy have significant clinical evidence supporting their effectiveness. However, results vary depending on the type and severity of hair loss, how long you’ve had it, and whether follicles are still viable. Generally, earlier intervention yields better results.
Can this help female pattern hair loss?
Yes, when appropriate candidates receive the right treatment. PRP and mesotherapy have significant clinical evidence supporting their effectiveness. However, results vary depending on the type and severity of hair loss, how long you’ve had it, and whether follicles are still viable. Generally, earlier intervention yields better results.
How many sessions will I need?
Yes, when appropriate candidates receive the right treatment. PRP and mesotherapy have significant clinical evidence supporting their effectiveness. However, results vary depending on the type and severity of hair loss, how long you’ve had it, and whether follicles are still viable. Generally, earlier intervention yields better results.
Will hair fall out if I stop treatment?
Yes, when appropriate candidates receive the right treatment. PRP and mesotherapy have significant clinical evidence supporting their effectiveness. However, results vary depending on the type and severity of hair loss, how long you’ve had it, and whether follicles are still viable. Generally, earlier intervention yields better results.
What if I'm already using finasteride or minoxidil?
Yes, when appropriate candidates receive the right treatment. PRP and mesotherapy have significant clinical evidence supporting their effectiveness. However, results vary depending on the type and severity of hair loss, how long you’ve had it, and whether follicles are still viable. Generally, earlier intervention yields better results.
Am I too late for treatment?
Yes, when appropriate candidates receive the right treatment. PRP and mesotherapy have significant clinical evidence supporting their effectiveness. However, results vary depending on the type and severity of hair loss, how long you’ve had it, and whether follicles are still viable. Generally, earlier intervention yields better results.
Which is better—microneedling or polynucleotides?
Both are highly effective but work differently. Microneedling stimulates through controlled micro-injury and increased circulation. Polynucleotides work at a cellular regenerative level. Polynucleotides may deliver more dramatic results for some clients, but microneedling is extremely effective and more budget-friendly. Your best option depends on your specific situation—I’ll help you decide.
Are there side effects?
Side effects are minimal and temporary:
Microneedling:
- Redness and sensitivity for 24-48 hours
- Mild swelling (rare)
- Temporary flaking as skin heals
Polynucleotides:
- Temporary redness at injection sites
- Mild tenderness for 1-2 days
- Small bumps that settle quickly (rare)
Serious complications are extremely rare with proper protocols and qualified practitioners.
How much does treatment cost?
Microneedling: From £250 per session
Polynucleotides: Premium pricing (discussed during consultation)
Treatment packages available with savings for multiple sessions booked in advance. I’ll provide transparent pricing for your specific plan during consultation.
