Alopecia means hair loss; it is not a single diagnosis. Alopecia areata is an immune-related condition that often causes rounded patches and can also affect the beard, eyebrows or body. It is different from gradual male or female pattern thinning. The right pathway depends on which condition is present.
Androgenetic alopecia is patterned thinning, often seen as a receding hairline, thinner crown or widening parting. Telogen effluvium describes increased shedding that can follow illness or another trigger. Traction alopecia is linked to repeated pulling on the hair. Similar-looking changes can have different causes, so photographs alone do not establish a diagnosis.
Scarring alopecia damages follicles and can cause permanent loss. Pain, burning, redness, scaling or changing patches should prompt medical assessment, although inflammation is not always obvious. Early specialist assessment matters when scarring is suspected; a cosmetic course should not delay it.
At MHB Aesthetic, the conversation starts with your history, any diagnosis you already have and what you want help with. Bring previous advice and a list of treatments you have tried. We can discuss our hair services in that context, while investigation or medical disease management may need your GP or a dermatologist.
Concerns to discuss
- New patches of hair loss
- A widening parting or thinning crown
- Hairline changes
- Increased shedding
- Scalp discomfort or irritation
- Understanding an existing alopecia diagnosis
What can alopecia treatment help with?
A consultation helps establish the changes that may be achievable and whether treatment is appropriate for you.
Choose a route that fits the diagnosis
Discuss what your diagnosis means for the choices available. A useful plan explains which concern it addresses, why it is relevant and when further medical advice is needed before proceeding.
Separate regrowth from cosmetic coverage
Treating a cause, supporting remaining hair and disguising visible scalp are different goals. Agree what matters to you and ask how any proposed option would be assessed, including what it cannot achieve.
Make room for your priorities
Consider appearance, scalp comfort, practical upkeep and how hair loss affects daily life. Choosing to wait, seek another opinion or use temporary camouflage can be part of your plan; a procedure is not compulsory.
Treatment response and duration vary. Your practitioner should explain realistic expectations and alternatives before you decide.
Explore suitability & risksIs this treatment right for you?
Adults with an established diagnosis can discuss appropriate MHB hair services and their limitations. If your loss is unexplained, sudden, patchy or accompanied by scalp symptoms, seek GP advice first. Children with hair loss need an appropriate medical assessment rather than an adult cosmetic treatment pathway.
Your clinician may examine the scalp and nails and consider your medical and family history. Tests or a scalp biopsy are sometimes needed, depending on the findings. These are not automatically necessary for everyone and are not included simply by booking an MHB cosmetic consultation.
Active alopecia areata and suspected scarring disease require particular care. Do not assume an injectable scalp treatment or transplant is appropriate because it is available for another type of hair loss. Share any current medical plan before considering additional procedures.
Discuss your suitabilityPossible risks & limitations
No approach guarantees regrowth or prevents every recurrence. Alopecia areata can improve and then return; a change in hair coverage does not by itself prove that a cosmetic treatment caused the improvement.
Any proposed procedure needs its own risk discussion. Scalp injections can involve soreness, bruising, bleeding and infection; pigment and surgery have different risks. Ask for evidence relevant to your diagnosis rather than relying on a treatment name or someone else's photographs.
PRP, PRF, hair filler and exosome-related treatments must not be presented as interchangeable cures for alopecia. Before proceeding, clarify the exact treatment, its evidence and alternatives with the responsible clinician. Avoid delaying medical care while trying repeated cosmetic courses.

Meet the people behind your care
At your consultation, confirm who will carry out your treatment, their qualifications and experience, and who will support your aftercare.
Meet the MHB teamTreatment, step by step.
From your first conversation to review, understand your options before deciding.
Build a clear history
Record when the changes started, where they appeared and what you have tried. Bring earlier photographs, a medicine list and any diagnosis or advice from your GP or dermatologist.
Clarify the pathway
Discuss the pattern and scalp symptoms. If the cause is uncertain or medical investigation is needed, address that before choosing an aesthetic procedure.
Compare relevant options
Ask what each option aims to change, what evidence applies to your diagnosis and what choosing no procedure would involve. Confirm which care MHB can provide.
Agree the practical details
Before any treatment, understand who will provide it, the full quote, preparation, possible risks and aftercare. Take time to decide without committing to a fixed course at the first conversation.
Review the plan
Agree when to review and what to record. If symptoms or the pattern change, seek reassessment rather than automatically continuing the same approach.
Alopecia treatment recovery & aftercare.
Recovery depends on your treatment, the area and your individual response. Follow the specific written instructions provided by your practitioner.
Discuss your care planFor urgent treatment or aftercare concerns, contact the MHB team.
0755 447 7034Care depends on the chosen treatment
Alopecia itself has no single procedure or downtime timetable. If you have treatment, follow the specific written advice for washing, products and activity. Keep your medical team informed about additional scalp procedures.
Protect the scalp and avoid pulling
Use suitable sun protection for exposed scalp and avoid hairstyles that put tension on the hair. Discuss irritating products or new symptoms with your clinician rather than adding more treatments yourself.
Use a consistent review record
Take occasional photographs in the same lighting and position if you find them helpful. Record symptoms and questions for your review. Hair loss can affect wellbeing too; tell your GP if you would like emotional support.

Alopecia treatment: your questions.
Straightforward answers. And if you’d like to know more, we’re always happy to talk.
Ask us a questionIs alopecia the same as alopecia areata?
No. Alopecia is the general term for hair loss. Alopecia areata is one immune-related form, often involving patches. Pattern hair loss, traction-related loss and scarring disorders have different causes and may need different care.
Can alopecia hair grow back?
It depends on the diagnosis. Hair can regrow in some non-scarring conditions, including alopecia areata, but the extent and timing are unpredictable. Scarring destroys follicles, so preventing further damage becomes especially important. Your clinician can explain what is realistic for your case.
What treatments are used for alopecia areata?
A dermatologist may discuss observation, corticosteroid treatment or other medical options depending on the extent of loss and individual circumstances. Some people choose camouflage or no treatment. This is general information, not a statement that MHB provides every medical therapy; confirm the appropriate provider and pathway before booking.
Is PRP suitable for every type of alopecia?
No. A PRP service should not be taken as a promise to treat every diagnosis. Ask whether there is relevant evidence for your particular condition and whether medical treatment should come first. Our PRP page explains the procedure separately; it does not establish suitability for alopecia areata or scarring disease.
When should I see a GP about hair loss?
See your GP if you are concerned or do not know the cause. New patches, scalp pain, scaling or rapidly changing loss deserve assessment before cosmetic treatment. Mention other symptoms and any effect on your wellbeing, as these can influence the next steps.
Does an alopecia appointment mean I need injections?
No. Discussing your concern does not commit you to injections or a treatment course. The outcome may be advice to seek medical investigation, review existing care, consider cosmetic coverage or take more time before deciding.
How much does alopecia treatment cost in London?
There is no single alopecia procedure or universal course price. MHB offers a free initial consultation to discuss its available services. Any proposed treatment should have an individual quote explaining sessions, review and aftercare; separate medical investigations or specialist care need their own arrangements.
Where can I discuss alopecia at MHB Aesthetic?
Our clinic is at 205 Regent Street, Mayfair, London W1B 4HB, around three minutes' walk from Oxford Circus. Call 020 3816 0081 or use online booking to arrange an initial conversation. Bring existing medical advice so the discussion can build on your diagnosis.
