Hair Loss: Causes, Symptoms & Treatments
at The Axis Clinic in London
What Is Hair Loss?
Hair loss is a common condition that affects both men and women and can occur for a variety of reasons, including genetics, hormones, stress, and ageing. It can present as gradual thinning, patchy loss, or more sudden shedding, and may be temporary or permanent depending on the underlying cause.
On average, it’s normal to lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day, but excessive or persistent loss can indicate a deeper concern.
What treatments are available for Hair Loss at The Axis Clinic?
To ensure your treatment is as effective as possible, we begin with the Trichotest: a genetic analysis that identifies which therapies and topicals will work best for your specific profile. This allows us to deliver a targeted, evidence-based plan tailored to your unique needs.
Our leading treatments include PRP Therapy, which uses your body’s own growth factors to naturally stimulate and strengthen hair follicles; Exosome Therapy, which delivers regenerative proteins and signals to encourage new growth and improve scalp condition; and Mesotherapy, which infuses essential vitamins, peptides, and nutrients directly into the scalp to boost follicle health and density.

What Causes Hair Loss?
Hair loss can occur for many reasons and may affect both men and women at any stage of life. The most common causes include genetic factors, hormonal changes, stress, nutrient deficiencies, and underlying health conditions. Certain medications or medical treatments, such as chemotherapy, can also trigger temporary shedding.
In hereditary cases such as male or female pattern baldness, hair loss tends to progress gradually, often beginning with thinning around the crown or temples. Other forms, like alopecia areata, appear as patchy or circular bald spots that can develop suddenly..

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What can I expect to see from PRP?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses your body’s own platelets to naturally stimulate and strengthen hair follicles. After treatment, you may notice reduced shedding within a few weeks, followed by gradual improvement in thickness, strength, and overall hair density over the following months.
Results typically become visible after three sessions, as new growth cycles begin and follicles become more active. With continued maintenance, PRP can significantly enhance scalp health and encourage long-term, natural hair regrowth without surgery or downtime.
Does PRP work on long-term Hair Loss?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is most effective for individuals experiencing early or recent hair loss, when the follicles are still active and capable of responding to stimulation. In cases of long-term or advanced hair loss where follicles have become inactive, PRP may have limited effect on regrowth but can still improve scalp health and hair quality in surrounding areas.
At The Axis Clinic in North London, our specialists assess the stage and cause of your hair loss before recommending treatment. For more advanced cases, we may suggest combining PRP with Exosome Therapy, Mesotherapy, or LaseMD Ultra to enhance results and support scalp regeneration.
What Is LaseMD Ultra and how does it help with Hair Loss?
At The Axis Clinic in North London, we use LaseMD Ultra as part of our advanced, non-surgical approach to hair restoration. This innovative laser-assisted drug delivery system enhances the effectiveness of treatments such as PRP, Exosomes, and other growth factors by creating microscopic channels in the scalp.
These channels allow active ingredients to penetrate up to 7.5 times deeper, ensuring maximum absorption and optimal results. The treatment is pain-free, comfortable, and highly effective, making it ideal for clients seeking a powerful yet gentle solution for hair loss. LaseMD Ultra helps improve scalp health, strengthen follicles, and support thicker, healthier hair growth over time.
How do Exosomes help with Hair Loss?
Exosome therapy delivers powerful regenerative signals and growth factors directly to the scalp, encouraging dormant follicles to reactivate and promoting new hair growth. It also improves scalp condition and follicle health, making hair stronger, thicker, and more resilient over time.
What is Mesotherapy for hair loss?
Mesotherapy involves microinjections of vitamins, peptides, and essential nutrients directly into the scalp to nourish and stimulate the hair follicles. This improves blood circulation, strengthens roots, and supports ongoing hair regrowth, especially when combined with PRP or Exosomes.
Which types of Hair Loss can be treated at The Axis Clinic?
Our advanced hair restoration treatments are suitable for a wide range of hair loss concerns, helping to restore scalp health and stimulate stronger, thicker growth.
We commonly treat:
Androgenetic Alopecia (Male and Female Pattern Baldness): Targeting the hormonal and genetic causes of hair thinning and receding hairlines.
Alopecia Areata: Encouraging regrowth in areas affected by patchy, autoimmune-related hair loss.
Telogen Effluvium: Supporting recovery from temporary shedding caused by stress, illness, hormonal fluctuations, childbirth, or menopause.
Post-Transplant Hair Maintenance: Strengthening transplanted follicles, improving circulation, and maintaining long-term results after hair restoration surgery.
At The Axis Clinic in North London, each treatment plan is tailored to your specific hair loss type and cause, ensuring safe, natural, and effective outcomes.
Do you offer pre and post-hair transplant support?
Yes. At The Axis Clinic in North London, we provide specialised treatments to prepare your scalp for a hair transplant and to optimise healing and regrowth afterwards. Our approach focuses on strengthening hair follicles, improving circulation, and enhancing the condition of both donor and recipient areas for the best possible outcome.
Using advanced therapies such as PRP, Mesotherapy, LaseMD Ultra, Exosome Therapy, and Polynucleotides, we help stimulate collagen production, boost follicle health, and support long-term results. These treatments ensure your scalp is in the ideal condition for a successful transplant and promote stronger, sustained hair growth post-procedure.
When will I see results?
Results vary depending on the treatment and individual response. Most clients begin to notice improvements in shedding and scalp health within four to six weeks. Visible new growth and increased density usually appear after several sessions as the follicles regenerate.
