Hair loss conditions: expert clinical diagnosis in Cambridgeshire
Specialist clinical assessment for hair loss in Cambridgeshire
Specialist clinical assessment for hair loss in Cambridgeshire
Female pattern hair loss (Androgenetic Alopecia)
This is the most frequent form of thinning in women, typically presenting as a widening of the parting or thinning at the crown. We provide bespoke clinical strategies to stabilise hair density and manage the long-term health of the follicles.
Male pattern baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia)
Genetic thinning that usually follows a recognisable pattern at the temples or crown. Our approach focuses on early intervention to preserve existing hair and stimulate dormant follicles before permanent loss occurs.
Telogen effluvium
A form of temporary hair loss characterised by sudden, excessive shedding across the entire scalp. We work to identify the specific trigger—be it acute stress, illness, surgery, or nutritional deficiency—to (restart) encourage the natural growth cycle.
Alopecia areata
An autoimmune condition that causes hair to fall out in small, round patches. We provide clinical support and specialist management plans for patients navigating the unpredictable nature of this condition.
Traction alopecia
Traction alopecia is hair loss resulting from repeated or prolonged tension on the hair follicles, commonly caused by tight hairstyles, heavy braids, or hair extensions. Early clinical assessment is essential to relieve follicular stress, prevent permanent scarring, and support recovery where follicles remain active.
Hair breakage and hair shaft damage
Hair breakage differs from true hair loss, as the hair fractures along the shaft rather than shedding from the root. This is often associated with chemical over-processing, excessive heat, or structural weakening of the hair fibre. We assess the extent of the damage and provide evidence-based guidance to restore hair strength and minimise further breakage.
PCOS-related hair loss
Polycystic ovary syndrome can lead to androgen sensitivity and significant thinning. We provide a holistic assessment of how these hormonal shifts are impacting your hair density and scalp health.
Menopause-related hair loss
Fluctuating hormones during the perimenopause and menopause stages can lead to diffuse thinning. We offer matured, clinical guidance on managing these biological changes effectively.
Post-pregnancy (Postpartum) hair loss
The "postpartum shed" can be deeply alarming for new mothers. We provide nutritional support and clinical reassurance to help the hair return to its natural growth phase following birth.
Thyroid-related hair loss
Both overactive and underactive thyroid conditions can lead to dry, brittle hair or general thinning. We analyse your medical history to ensure your hair management plan works in harmony with your wider medical care.
Trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder)
A complex condition involving the urge to pull out hair. We offer a completely confidential, non-judgmental, and empathetic environment to support your path to recovery and regrowth.
Why choose a local specialist in Cambridgeshire?
Unlike generic online subscription services or remote consultations, a Consultant Trichologist provides a physical, hands-on examination in a clinical setting. Our clinic, situated near the River Great Ouse and the historic George Hotel, uses specialised equipment to see what the naked eye cannot.
The local climate also plays a significant role; the humid summers and the damp, biting winters of the Fens can affect your scalp’s sebum production and hydration levels. We provide localised expertise that national “one-size-fits-all” brands simply cannot match.
