Hair loss is rarely just about shedding. It is often the result of scalp inflammation, poor follicle function, hormonal imbalance, stress, nutritional deficiencies or reduced blood supply. Even when hair is still present, early changes such as thinning, poor texture, reduced shine and increased breakage signal that the scalp environment is compromised.
At Continental Skin Clinic in London, we focus on scalp regeneration and follicle support, not just short-term stimulation. Our approach is designed for clients who want to prevent hair loss, slow progression, improve hair quality, enhance post-transplant results and restore long-term scalp health.

Common Causes of Hair Loss:
- Hair loss is multifactorial. Common contributors include:
- Genetics (androgenetic alopecia)
- Hormonal changes
- Stress and cortisol imbalance
- Iron deficiency and low ferritin
- Thyroid imbalance
- Inflammation of the scalp
- Poor circulation and oxygen delivery
- Skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis or seborrhoeic dermatitis
- Post-pregnancy or post-illness shedding
- Aggressive styling, heat or chemical damage
Treating hair loss effectively means addressing both the scalp environment and the follicle function.
ย
Types of Hair Loss We See:
- Androgenetic hair thinning (male and female pattern)
- Diffuse thinning and shedding
- Widening parting
- Receding hairline
- Post-partum hair loss
- Stress-related telogen effluvium
- Inflammatory scalp-related hair loss
- Post-transplant recovery support
- Reduced hair quality and density without visible baldness
Our treatment is suitable not only for hair loss, but also for clients focused on hair and scalp optimisation.

Hair Loss Treatments: Surgical vs Non-Surgical:
Surgical Options
Hair transplantation redistributes existing follicles but does not improve scalp health or prevent future loss. Results depend heavily on scalp condition, circulation and aftercare.
Non-Surgical Options (Overview)
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)
PRP depends on blood quality and successful phlebotomy. Results vary significantly, coverage is limited and outcomes are reduced in clients with deficiencies or inflammation.
Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides can support regeneration but require multiple syringes for full scalp coverage, can be painful, and are unsuitable for clients with fish or salmon allergies.
Microneedling Alone
Microneedling can stimulate circulation but lacks targeted biological signalling without active regenerative compounds.

Our Signature Hair Loss & Scalp Regeneration Protocol
Our protocol is built around thulium laser technology, ASCE+ HRLV exosomes and Healite II LED therapy, delivered as a structured course of 5 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance.

Who This Treatment Is For:
- Clients wanting to prevent or slow hair loss
- Early thinning or reduced hair quality
- Post-hair transplant recovery and optimisation
- Scalp inflammation, itching or sensitivity
- Eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis affecting the scalp
