Hair Loss
Hair loss can occur at any age and can be experienced by men, women and children.
Bespoke Treatment for Hair Loss
Although hair loss is not usually damaging to a person’s health in many cases it can impact a person’s quality of life and self-confidence.
There are many reasons that a person may suffer with hair loss, baldness or thinning. It can be a genetic trait, part of the ageing process, a side effect of stress or even a change in diet. Hair loss can also be triggered by hormonal changes, especially in pregnancy or menopause.
At Meyer Clinic, our multi-disciplinary team have expertise in treating many types of hair loss and scalp conditions, ranging from shedding and thinning hair to eczema and psoriasis.
After an initial consultation at Meyer Clinic, our team will create a bespoke treatment plan to take care of a patient’s specific concerns. Our treatment varies depending on the severity of hair loss; it may include specialist blood test profiling, genetic testing and nutritional supplementation. In some cases, we will refer to a consultant dermatologist for further diagnosis and treatment.
HEALTH CHECK UP
Hair loss, balding or thinning can have a negative impact on a person’s confidence and/or self-esteem. Factors in the development of hair loss may include stress, hormone imbalance and/or poor nutrtion. A personalised health check up with Dr Annelize Meyer is an opportunity to identify the cause of hair loss and to work together on a plan to stabilise and improve the condition.
IV Nutrition
Stress can have a detrimental effect on a person’s hair. It can become thin and brittle and lack shine and lustre. At Meyer Clinic, we may recommend an IV Hair Tonic tonic as part of an ongoing treatment plan. IV Nutrition features a combination of vitamins and minerals that helps with hair nourishment and shine from the inside out. Contents for this bespoke cocktail of nutrients can include VitC, B5, B6, B complex, Magnesium, Calcium and Selenium.
DUTCH Testing
This gold standard test for people wanting to understand how hormones are affecting their health is often recommended for people suffering with Hair Loss. A change in hormones often triggers conditions such as hair loss and thinning. Dried Urine Testing for Comprehensive Hormones (DUTCH) looks at a combination of hormones over a 24-hour time-frame. Results can be used to inform treatment and supplementation.
