Hair Loss Consultation
Hair loss, affecting both men and women, can cause significant distress and reduce quality of life. The causes can be varied—ranging from genetic and hormonal to lifestyle-related factors. A comprehensive consultation at Olive Health & Travel Clinic with our expert clinicians will provide you with a tailored diagnostic and therapeutic approach, addressing your unique concerns.
Blood Tests
Uncovering the root cause of hair loss often requires a deeper look beneath the surface. Our comprehensive blood tests are a critical step in diagnosing and addressing hair loss effectively. These tests aim to identify any underlying medical conditions or hormonal imbalances that may be contributing to your hair loss.
We assess various parameters including but not limited to:
-
Hormone levels (such as thyroid hormones, androgens, and others)
-
Nutrient deficiencies (such as iron, vitamin D, and zinc)
-
Inflammatory markers
-
Autoimmune markers (relevant in conditions like alopecia areata)
The insights gained from these blood tests enable us to craft a personalised treatment plan, targeting the underlying issues and promoting healthier hair growth. Whether it’s adjusting your nutritional intake, recommending medical treatments, or suggesting lifestyle changes, our objective is to provide a holistic approach to managing and reversing hair loss.
Alopecia Areata Consultation
Alopecia Areata is a medical condition characterised by patchy hair loss, often triggered by stress, certain medications, or underlying autoimmune disorders. This condition can significantly impact self-esteem and quality of life.
Our aim is to provide a supportive and informative environment, empowering you with knowledge and options to manage and potentially improve your condition. We understand the psychological impact of alopecia and are here to support you in every step of your journey towards better hair and scalp health.
During your consultation:
-
Our expert clinicians will conduct a meticulous examination of your scalp and hair.
-
We may advise on blood tests to rule out associated autoimmune conditions or other underlying factors.
-
A personalised treatment plan will be devised, which may include medical treatments like steroid injections for reducing inflammation and promoting hair regrowth, Dermalux LED Phototherapy utilizing Near-Infrared Light (NIR) to reduce inflammation and stimulate hair follicles, or advanced therapies like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and Mesotherapy.
-
In severe cases, we may provide referrals to dermatology specialists for further evaluation and management.
PRP Hair Growth
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses the regenerative powers of your own blood to stimulate the hair follicles, encouraging new growth and thicker, healthier hair.
The process begins with a simple blood draw. Your blood is then spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, which is rich in growth factors. This concentrated plasma is then re-injected into the scalp where hair loss has occurred. The growth factors work to reverse the shrinking of hair follicles, one of the primary causes of hair loss, promoting regrowth and revitalisation.
Ideal for those experiencing thinning hair or hair loss, PRP Hair Growth treatment can be a natural alternative to other treatments. It’s a minimally invasive procedure with little to no downtime, allowing you to return to your routine swiftly.
Scalp Mesotherapy
Scalp Mesotherapy is a technique where vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other essential compounds are injected into the scalp to rejuvenate hair follicles, stimulate hair growth and curb hair loss. By nourishing the scalp from within, Mesotherapy can help to restore imbalances, improve circulation, and promote healthier, fuller hair. It’s an effective solution that can be tailored to individual needs and can be combined with various other treatments.
