Follicular transfer 

Harley Street Hair Clinic specialise in follicular transfer (FT), which is an innovative technique in hair loss treatment that provides patients with a natural result. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) involves extracting the follicles individually with no extra tissue removal or damage to the surrounding skin. The hairs are then placed on the balding areas of the scalp. This is an extremely efficient form of hair replacement as none of the hairs that are extracted are wasted.

Hair loss medication

A few medications have been proven to stop hair loss and some even reverse the balding effect. Finasteride and dustasteride have had proven success in re-growing thinning hair at the top of the scalp. Some clinical trials found that up to 80% of participants noticed considerable reduction in their baldness after they had used Propecia.

However, though there is proof that these medications have been successful, there is evidence that shows they have little effect on re-growth of the front of the hairline. Patients are often advised to take medication to slow down hair loss, and then use other methods such as a hair transplants to help replace hair that won’t grow on its own. 

Eyebrow reconstruction

Prices for eyebrow reconstruction range from £2,500 to £4,500, depending on the number of hair required. The procedure is very delicate and requires the doctor to perfectly place the hairs into the tiny incisions. As the procedure is microsurgical, it requires no stitches and the patient’s eyebrow should grow naturally with no side effects. 

Scar repair

For some patients, small scars can be easily hidden by changing their hairstyle. For others, the size or placement of the scar can make it impossible, which means they may be in need of a scar repair. Restoring hair for a scarred scalp is a delicate procedure that requires careful examination, and consideration for a number of issues that can influence the viability and overall outcome of surgical success. Factors that should be considered include:

• Scalp thickness plays an important role in the success of a hair transplant. Very thick scar tissue can limit transplanted hair follicles’ access to blood vessels. However, very thin scar tissue can make it too difficult for follicles to hold.

• The scalp’s blood supply is an important factor to consider as any hair follicles that have been transplanted need a blood supply in order for them to survive.

• For patients who have an underlying chronic inflammatory disease, most doctors would not recommend a hair transplant if the disease was active. Ideally, it is recommended that there is a minimum of two years of disease inactivity before undergoing a hair transplant.
