Guardian featured Harley Street IBS & Autoimmune Clinic specialises in treating hair loss in women and has welcomed many beautiful individuals experiencing all forms of hair loss (Alopecia). Our hair loss treatment uses a functional medicine approach. A requirement for this dedicated and specialist clinic became abundantly clear following the frustrations Alopecia patients spoke of prior to being treated at our clinic.

Patients spoke of the lack of support they had received previously in their alopecia treatment; the hurtful diagnosis they had been given that their hair would never grow back; they spoke of their shame, their depression, their loss of identity as well as the social paranoia; and the inconvenience and itchiness of very expensive wigs.

Alopecia is usually caused by a problem with immune function. It’s more common among women with other autoimmune conditions. Non pharmaceutical medicine is usually very effective at treating hair loss in women and results can be seen as the body responds to the hair loss treatment and hair growth is stimulated.

We use diagnostic Functional Medicine testing to investigate and determine the cause of each individual’s hair loss. Non pharmaceutical medicine, which is licensed by the UK Government’s Department of Health, is then given to the patient to help bring the body back into equilibrium and to ultimately modulate immune function. Each prescription is prepared and dispensed to meet the unique needs of each patient. Our patients find that this natural and gentle approach works best in treatment for hair loss in women and clear results can usually be seen through the subsequent hair regrowth. We do not have a one size fits all approach.

In addition, we address the psychological impact hair loss has on the person as it is a condition which not only clearly effects the body, but takes a silent hefty toll on the psyche too. Every prescription is made to also address symptoms ranging from depression to stress to anxiety and adrenal exhaustion. Patients report feeling more like their old self.

Following our treatment for hair loss in women, patients speak of regaining their lost sense of identity, of being given hope and encouragement as they watch the gradual regrowth of their hair.

This gentle approach also usually works well for treating any gut issues or IBS symptoms which are so often associated with alopecia and other autoimmune conditions; hence many of these related symptoms also are resolved too as the body is brought back to its equilibrium.
