Hair Restoration
at AEOM

Hair loss treated properly — diagnostic work first, considered intervention second, honest expectations throughout

Hair loss is one of the most distressing aesthetic concerns and one of the most poorly served. Most clinics offer one approach (typically PRP, or sometimes the latest trending treatment) regardless of what's actually driving your hair loss. We take a different approach. We start with proper diagnostic work — identifying nutritional, hormonal, inflammatory and genetic factors that may be contributing — then deliver evidence-based interventions (PRP, PRP with Exomine ERP, JetPeel scalp treatment, structured nutrition and supplement support) appropriate to your specific situation. We're honest about what works, what doesn't, and when surgical hair transplantation may be the more appropriate route.

Key facts strip:

  • Initial Hair Restoration Consultation: £225 (60 minutes — includes assessment, planning, bloodwork ordering)
  • Treatment programmes from £750 to comprehensive multi-modal pathways
  • Both men's and women's hair restoration
  • Honest referral to hair transplant surgeons when appropriate

OUR APPROACH

Why we approach hair loss differently

The hair restoration market has problems. Many clinics offer a single treatment — usually PRP — and apply it indiscriminately to every patient who walks in with hair concerns. Some clinics push surgical transplantation as the answer regardless of pattern. Online providers prescribe finasteride and minoxidil without proper assessment. Influencer-driven products and unproven supplements occupy enormous market share.

AEOM's approach is structured differently:

We diagnose before we treat.

Most hair loss has multiple drivers — nutritional, hormonal, inflammatory, genetic, stress-related, medication-related, autoimmune, or mechanical. Treating without understanding which factors are active in your specific case produces predictable disappointment.

We use evidence-based interventions.

PRP, PRP with Exomine ERP, JetPeel scalp protocols, structured supplementation, properly-prescribed medication where appropriate — all have published evidence supporting their use. We don't offer treatments because they're trending; we offer them because the evidence and patient outcomes are real.

We're honest about what won't work.

Some patterns of hair loss respond beautifully to clinical intervention. Others — particularly advanced male pattern baldness — are best served by surgical hair transplantation, and we'll say so. Patients arriving expecting non-surgical regrowth from advanced loss are usually disappointed; we'd rather have the honest conversation first.

We integrate hair restoration into broader wellness work.

Hair loss is frequently a symptom of broader issues — perimenopausal hormonal change, post-illness recovery, iron deficiency, thyroid dysfunction, chronic stress, GLP-1 medication effects, nutritional inadequacy. Addressing only the scalp while ignoring underlying drivers produces partial results. Our hair restoration patients typically benefit from concurrent nutritional, hormonal and lifestyle work.

UNDERSTANDING HAIR LOSS

What's actually causing
your hair loss

Different patterns of hair loss have different causes — and significantly different prognoses with treatment. The diagnostic work matters because it determines what will and won't help.

Androgenetic Alopecia (Pattern Hair Loss)

The most common form. Genetically determined, hormonally mediated. In men, presents as receding hairline and crown thinning. In women, presents as diffuse thinning particularly around the part and crown, typically preserving the frontal hairline.

Treatment response:

  • Early/mild pattern loss — frequently responsive to PRP, PRP with Exomine ERP, JetPeel scalp protocols, and proper medical management. Excellent candidates for clinical intervention.
  • Moderate pattern loss — often partially responsive to combined treatment, but expectations need to be realistic about regrowth potential.
  • Advanced pattern loss — surgical hair transplantation is typically the more appropriate route. Non-surgical treatments can maintain remaining hair but won't regrow advanced bald areas.
Telogen Effluvium (Stress-Related Hair Loss)

Diffuse hair shedding triggered 2–4 months after a significant stress event — illness (including COVID), major surgery, childbirth, severe emotional stress, crash dieting, GLP-1 medication initiation, certain medications. Hair growth typically recovers spontaneously once the trigger resolves.

Treatment response: Generally excellent. The hair is in a shedding phase, not lost permanently. Supportive treatment (nutrition optimisation, PRP, JetPeel scalp work) accelerates recovery. Most patients see full recovery within 6–12 months.

Alopecia Areata

Autoimmune condition causing patchy hair loss. Different mechanism from pattern hair loss; different treatment pathway.

Treatment response: Requires specialist dermatology input. We'd refer to a dermatologist for proper management, with potential supportive AEOM interventions as appropriate.

Cicatricial (Scarring) Alopecia

Hair follicles destroyed by inflammation or scarring. Includes lichen planopilaris, frontal fibrosing alopecia, central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia.

Treatment response: Requires specialist dermatology management. Once follicles are destroyed, regrowth is not possible in affected areas. We'd refer appropriately and may offer supportive treatments.

Hair Loss in Perimenopause

A specific pattern increasingly common as patients become more open about discussing it. Driven by hormonal changes — particularly declining oestrogen and changing testosterone-to-oestrogen ratios. Often combines features of pattern hair loss with telogen effluvium.

Treatment response: Requires multi-modal approach — hormonal assessment, often HRT discussion, nutritional support, PRP or PRP with Exomine ERP, JetPeel protocols. AEOM is particularly well-positioned for this patient profile.

Traction Alopecia

Mechanical hair loss from sustained tension — tight hairstyles, extensions, hair systems. Reversible if traction is reduced early; can become permanent if continued.

Treatment response: Depends on duration. Early intervention with reduced traction plus supportive treatments produces good results. Long-standing traction alopecia may require surgical intervention for affected areas.

THE AEOM HAIR RESTORATION PATHWAY

How we work
with hair loss patients

Step 1 — Initial Hair Restoration Consultation (60 minutes — £225)

The most important step. We don't recommend treatments until we understand what's actually happening. The consultation covers:

  • Detailed history — pattern, timeline, family history, recent medical events, medications, stress factors, dietary patterns, hormonal status
  • Physical examination — pattern assessment, hair density evaluation, scalp examination, pull test, miniaturisation patterns
  • Trichoscopy where indicated — dermoscopic examination of the scalp to assess follicular health and confirm diagnosis
  • Recommended bloodwork — typically including full blood count, ferritin, iron studies, Vitamin D, B12, folate, thyroid function (TSH, Free T4), HbA1c, plus hormonal panel appropriate to sex (testosterone, DHEAS, SHBG, oestradiol)
  • Discussion of options — what interventions are appropriate, what evidence supports them, what realistic expectations look like
  • Surgical referral discussion — for patients where hair transplantation is the more appropriate route, we'll discuss this honestly and provide referral

The £225 consultation includes the assessment, the discussion of options, and the bloodwork ordering. The bloodwork itself is separately priced (typical hair-relevant panel approximately £225 — discussed at consultation).

Step 2 — Bloodwork and Diagnosis (1 week)

Bloodwork returns within approximately 7 days. We review results in the context of your assessment and prepare a treatment plan.

Step 3 — Treatment Plan Discussion (30 minutes — included in initial consultation fee)

A follow-up appointment to walk through bloodwork findings, finalise diagnosis, and agree the treatment plan. Plans typically combine:

  • Nutritional and supplement recommendations
  • Topical or oral medical treatment where appropriate (typically with referral to a prescribing clinician or your GP)
  • In-clinic treatments (PRP, PRP with Exomine ERP, JetPeel scalp work)
  • Hormonal optimisation pathway where relevant
  • Lifestyle interventions
  • Follow-up testing schedule

Step 4 — Treatment Delivery

Treatments delivered at AEOM according to the agreed plan. Most clinical patients start with a course of treatments over 3–6 months, with progress assessed at 6-month intervals.

Step 5 — Ongoing Review

Hair restoration is rarely a single intervention — it's a sustained approach over months and years. We review progress regularly, adjust treatments as needed, and continue diagnostic work where appropriate.

TREATMENTS WE OFFER

Evidence-based
interventions for hair restoration

PRP for Hair Restoration

£450 single session — £1,200 course of 3 — £2,000 course of 6

Platelet-Rich Plasma uses growth factors from your own blood to stimulate hair follicle activity. PRP is one of the most evidence-supported non-surgical hair restoration treatments available — particularly effective for early-to-moderate pattern hair loss, telogen effluvium recovery, and perimenopausal hair thinning.

The treatment: A small volume of blood is drawn, processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, and injected into the scalp at multiple points across affected areas. Treatment takes approximately 45–60 minutes including processing time.

Typical protocol: Initial course of 3–6 sessions at 4–6 week intervals, then maintenance every 3–6 months.

Realistic expectations: Most patients see reduced shedding within 2–3 months, visible improvement in hair density within 4–6 months, with continued improvement through 12 months. Results require ongoing maintenance — PRP doesn't permanently alter pattern hair loss progression, but it can meaningfully slow it and improve current hair quality.

PRP with Exomine ERP

£995 single session — £2,700 course of 3

For patients seeking enhanced regenerative effects, PRP can be combined with exosome therapy (Exomine ERP). Exosomes are cellular signalling vesicles that further stimulate follicular activity and inflammation modulation.

When this is appropriate: Patients with moderate hair loss wanting maximum non-surgical intervention; patients who've had limited response to PRP alone; patients with significant perimenopausal hair thinning. The cost premium reflects the additional product and clinical complexity; expected outcomes are stronger than PRP alone but require honest discussion of incremental benefit vs cost at consultation.

JetPeel Scalp Treatment

£295 — Advanced Scalp Protocol

JetPeel's pressurised oxygen and saline delivery can be used to infuse active ingredients (peptides, vitamins, growth factor analogues) directly into the scalp without needles. Particularly useful as an adjunct to PRP between sessions, for patients sensitive to needle-based treatments, and for general scalp health optimisation.

Typical use: Monthly JetPeel scalp sessions between PRP courses, or as standalone treatment for early/preventive intervention. Often combined with LED Light Therapy for additional follicular support.

LED Light Therapy for Hair

Included with PRP and JetPeel scalp treatments; standalone £65

Specific red and near-infrared LED wavelengths have published evidence for hair follicle stimulation. The Dermalux Compact Lite we use at AEOM includes the appropriate wavelengths. LED is delivered as a closing step after PRP and JetPeel scalp treatments to support follicular response, and is available as standalone monthly maintenance for patients on long-term hair programmes.

Nutritional and Supplement Support

Included in hair restoration programmes; standalone Nutritionist Consultation £225

Hair-relevant nutritional optimisation is built into our hair restoration pathways. Common areas of focus include:

  • Iron and ferritin status (one of the most common drivers of hair loss in women)
  • Vitamin D adequacy
  • B12 and folate (particularly relevant for vegetarians, vegans, and patients with absorption issues)
  • Zinc status
  • Protein adequacy (commonly inadequate in patients on calorie restriction or GLP-1 medications)
  • Omega-3 sufficiency
  • Specific supplements with hair-relevant evidence (typically targeted to documented deficiencies, not generic "hair supplements")

We don't sell our own supplement line and don't recommend the influencer-marketed hair supplements that occupy enormous market share without meaningful evidence. We recommend specific supplementation based on documented deficiencies and clinical context.

Medical Treatment Coordination

For patients where prescription treatment is appropriate — typically minoxidil (topical or oral), finasteride (men), spironolactone (women), or other targeted medical treatments — we'd coordinate prescription either via your GP, via Dr Ashik (when on our medical team), or via referral to a hair-restoration-specialist prescribing clinician. Medical treatment combined with in-clinic regenerative work typically produces meaningfully better results than either alone.

Surgical Hair Transplantation Referral

For patients where surgical hair transplantation is the more appropriate route, we'll refer to established hair transplant surgeons in London. We don't deliver hair transplantation ourselves — this is genuinely specialist surgical work that should be delivered by surgeons who do it as their primary practice. Our value in this scenario is the honest assessment, the referral pathway, and the supportive pre- and post-surgical care.

WHO IT'S FOR

Who Hair Restoration
at AEOM is right for

Hair Restoration at AEOM is well-suited if you are:

N

Noticing early-stage hair loss and want proper diagnostic work before treating

N

Experiencing diffuse hair thinning without clear pattern (often nutritional, hormonal or inflammatory)

N

Post-illness, post-pregnancy or post-major-stress and dealing with shedding (telogen effluvium)

N

Perimenopausal or menopausal and noticing hair changes — this is one of our strongest patient profiles for hair restoration

N

On GLP-1 medication experiencing hair changes (increasingly common as medication use expands)

N

Looking for proper investigation rather than generic treatment

N

Wanting non-surgical intervention appropriate to your specific situation

N

Combining hair restoration with broader wellness work — nutrition, hormones, longevity

N

A man with early-to-moderate pattern hair loss wanting evidence-based non-surgical management

N

Considering hair transplantation and wanting honest assessment of whether it's the right route

Hair Restoration at AEOM may not be the right setting if you:

K

Have advanced male pattern baldness — surgical hair transplantation is typically the more appropriate route, and we'd refer

K

Want immediate transformation — hair restoration genuinely takes months to years; patients expecting rapid change are disappointed

K

Have active scarring alopecia — requires specialist dermatology

K

Have alopecia areata in active state — dermatology referral first

K

Are unwilling to do the diagnostic work — patients wanting "just the PRP" without bloodwork or proper assessment will get suboptimal results and we'd prefer not to deliver care that way

K

Want the cheapest possible treatment — basic PRP is available cheaper elsewhere; our value-add is the diagnostic and clinical depth

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM TREATMENT

Realistic timelines
and outcomes

Hair restoration genuinely takes time. Honest expectations matter.

Realistic Timeline

  • Months 1–2: Treatments delivered; nutritional and lifestyle changes implemented. Often increased shedding in the first 4–8 weeks (a normal response to follicular stimulation — old hairs being shed as new growth phase begins). Patients sometimes panic about this; it's expected and not concerning.
  • Months 2–4: Shedding stabilises and reduces. Subtle improvements in hair quality may become noticeable — better thickness of individual hairs, less visible scalp through hair.
  • Months 4–6: First visible improvements in hair density typically apparent. Photos taken at baseline (we'd recommend always) show real change.
  • Months 6–12: Continued improvement, with peak effects typically around 9–12 months from treatment initiation.
  • Beyond 12 months: Maintenance phase. Treatments may continue at reduced frequency to sustain results.

What "Improvement" Actually Looks Like

For most patients, realistic outcomes include:

  • Reduced ongoing shedding — sustained improvement is often more apparent in reduced hair loss than dramatic regrowth
  • Improved hair quality — thicker individual hairs, better texture, less brittleness
  • Increased density in early-loss areas — particularly the part line, crown, and temples
  • Stabilisation of pattern hair loss progression — slowing or stopping continued loss, which is often the realistic goal for moderate pattern loss
  • Recovery of telogen effluvium hair — for patients whose loss is stress-related, near-complete recovery is typical

What's generally not realistic:

  • Restoration of completely bald areas (Norwood 5–7 in men) without surgical intervention
  • Dramatic transformation within weeks — meaningful change requires months
  • Permanent results without maintenance — most interventions require ongoing treatment to sustain

Documentation

We take baseline photographs (standardised lighting, multiple angles, scalp documentation) before treatment and at regular intervals during treatment. This is genuinely important — patients often perceive progress differently from what photographs show, and standardised documentation provides objective progress assessment.

THE HONEST PART

What we won't promise

The hair restoration market is filled with marketing language we won't use:

  • No "guaranteed regrowth." No clinic can guarantee individual outcomes from PRP, exosome therapy, JetPeel scalp work or any non-surgical treatment. We'd be cautious about clinics that do.
  • No "instant results." Anything producing visible change within days or weeks is either temporary (concealment products, fibres) or making claims that don't match the underlying biology.
  • No "miracle supplements." The hair supplement market is dominated by products with attractive marketing and limited evidence. We recommend supplements based on documented deficiencies, not generic "hair vitamins."
  • No pressure to commit to large packages. Some clinics push large multi-thousand-pound packages upfront. We typically start with a course of 3–6 treatments and reassess based on response — extending if appropriate, modifying if not.
  • No pretence that we can fix everything. Some patterns of hair loss aren't well-served by non-surgical treatment. We'd rather refer you to a hair transplant surgeon honestly than deliver treatments unlikely to produce meaningful results.
  • No supplements pushed because we sell them. We don't have an AEOM supplement line. Recommendations are based on documented needs, not commercial relationships.
  • No "stem cell" claims that aren't actually stem cells. Some clinics market exosome treatments as "stem cell therapy," which is misleading. Exosomes are signalling vesicles, not stem cells. We use exosome treatments with accurate framing.
  • Realistic conversation about cost over time. Hair restoration requires sustained investment over years — initial course plus ongoing maintenance plus medical treatment plus nutritional support. We'll be upfront at consultation about the realistic total cost over 2–3 years if you commit to comprehensive treatment.

COMBINE WITH

Treatments
that combine well
with Hair Restoration

Hair restoration is rarely a standalone intervention. The patients who get the best results are typically combining clinical treatment with broader wellness work.

Hair Restoration + Comprehensive Wellness Panel

The blood data drives the treatment plan. Iron, ferritin, thyroid, Vitamin D, B12, hormones — all relevant to hair, all addressable. Bloodwork is built into our hair restoration programmes for this reason.

Hair Restoration + Female Hormone Profile + HRT Discussion

For perimenopausal women, hair restoration without addressing hormonal context typically produces partial results. We integrate hormonal assessment into perimenopausal hair restoration pathways and may recommend HRT discussion where appropriate.

Hair Restoration + Nutritionist Consultation

Particularly important for vegetarian/vegan patients, GLP-1 patients, and patients with restrictive eating patterns. Radhika's chef background means recommendations translate into actual cooking, not theoretical food lists.

Hair Restoration + IV Nutrient Therapy

For patients with documented deficiencies (particularly iron, B12, Vitamin D), IV/IM nutrient therapy delivers rapid repletion that supports hair restoration outcomes. Built into our Comprehensive and Advanced Hair Programmes for patients with relevant deficiencies.

Hair Restoration + Skin & Aesthetic Profile

The same nutritional, hormonal, inflammatory factors affecting hair often affect skin. Patients on hair restoration pathways frequently benefit from concurrent skin investment — many of the same interventions support both.

Hair Restoration + LifeCode Gx Genetic Testing

For patients wanting to understand their genetic context — particularly relevant for pattern hair loss with family history. Doesn't change treatment fundamentally but informs expectations and approach.

Hair Restoration + Clinical Sleep Assessment

Chronic poor sleep affects hair through stress hormones and growth hormone disruption. Patients with significant sleep issues alongside hair loss often benefit from sleep assessment as part of broader investigation.

Hair Restoration + Hair Transplant Surgery (where appropriate)

For patients undergoing or considering surgical hair transplantation, our treatments provide valuable pre-surgical optimisation (improving recipient site quality) and post-surgical support (enhancing graft survival and overall outcome). We coordinate with hair transplant surgeons for patients on combined pathways.

Frequently asked questions

Will PRP regrow my hair if I'm completely bald in that area?

Probably not, honestly. PRP works by stimulating existing hair follicles — both visible hairs and miniaturised follicles that are still alive but producing very thin, short hairs. Areas that are completely bald (no follicular activity remaining) generally won't respond to PRP because there's nothing to stimulate. For these patterns, surgical hair transplantation is typically the appropriate route. We'd assess this honestly at consultation.

How does PRP with Exomine ERP differ from regular PRP?

PRP uses growth factors from your own blood platelets. PRP with Exomine ERP combines PRP with exosomes — cellular signalling vesicles that further enhance follicular stimulation and inflammation modulation. The published evidence for exosome-enhanced PRP is developing rather than fully established, but patient outcomes appear meaningfully stronger than PRP alone. The cost premium reflects the additional product and complexity; whether the incremental benefit is worth the cost depends on your specific situation, which we'd discuss at consultation.

Should I take finasteride / minoxidil?

This is a clinical decision requiring proper assessment. Both have published evidence for male pattern hair loss; minoxidil also has evidence for female pattern loss. Both have potential side effects worth understanding before commitment. We don't typically prescribe these directly — we'd refer to your GP, to Dr Ashik when on our medical team, or to a hair-restoration-specialist prescribing clinician for proper assessment and prescription.

What about oral minoxidil — I've seen it recommended online?

Low-dose oral minoxidil has emerging evidence and is increasingly prescribed by hair restoration specialists.

It's an off-label use of an older blood pressure medication; appropriate prescription requires assessment of cardiovascular status and other factors. We'd refer to an appropriate prescribing clinician rather than recommend self-purchase from online pharmacies.

Will I need to keep doing PRP forever?

For pattern hair loss, yes — ongoing maintenance is typically needed (every 4–6 months) to sustain results, because the underlying genetic and hormonal drivers continue.

For telogen effluvium recovery, no — once the recovery is complete, ongoing treatment isn't usually required. We'd discuss expected maintenance cadence based on your specific pattern.

Is the PRP injection painful?

Mild-to-moderate discomfort. The scalp is more sensitive than skin elsewhere.

We use small needles, topical numbing where appropriate, and gentle technique. Most patients describe it as tolerable rather than comfortable. Some patients prefer JetPeel scalp protocols (no needles) as a more comfortable alternative, though the clinical effects are somewhat different.

Will my hair fall out after PRP?

Increased shedding for 4–8 weeks after starting PRP is normal — a paradoxical-feeling response to follicular stimulation as old hairs in the resting phase are shed to make way for new growth phases.

This often worries patients; it shouldn't. The shedding stabilises and reverses by 2–3 months.

What about hair vitamins like Nutrafol, Viviscal, Olly?

The hair supplement market includes products with marketing significantly stronger than their evidence.

Some (Nutrafol particularly) have some clinical evidence but the effect sizes are modest and the cost is substantial over years of use. Most patients are better served by addressing documented deficiencies through targeted supplementation than buying generic hair vitamins. We'd discuss honestly at consultation.

My doctor said my bloodwork was normal. Why am I still losing hair?

"Normal" reference ranges aren't the same as "optimal" for hair health. Ferritin in particular has wide reference ranges (typically 10–300 ng/mL is "normal") but published hair restoration literature suggests ferritin under 70 ng/mL is associated with hair loss, with optimal levels typically 70–100+ ng/mL. Your bloodwork might be technically normal while still suboptimal for hair health. The diagnostic consultation interprets these findings with hair-specific context.

Can I have PRP if I have a chronic illness or take medications?

Depends on the specifics. PRP requires blood draw and uses your own blood, so most chronic illnesses don't contraindicate treatment. Patients on blood thinners (warfarin, DOACs) may need treatment modification or temporary medication pause (with prescribing clinician approval). Patients with active malignancy, severe systemic illness, or active scalp infections would not be suitable until conditions are managed. We'd assess at consultation.

Will hair restoration work if I'm on GLP-1 medications?

This is increasingly common. GLP-1 medications can trigger telogen effluvium in some patients — typically reversible once the trigger is addressed (often through protein and nutrition optimisation while on medication). PRP and supportive treatments can accelerate recovery. The key is comprehensive approach: nutritional optimisation, protein adequacy, in-clinic treatments, and patience while the follicular cycle resets.

When should I see a hair transplant surgeon instead?

For advanced pattern hair loss (Norwood 4+ in men, advanced female pattern loss), where significant areas are bald or near-bald, surgical hair transplantation is typically the more appropriate route.

We'd assess honestly at consultation and refer you to established London hair transplant surgeons if surgery is the right answer. Many patients do best with combined pathways — pre-surgical optimisation, the transplant itself, and post-surgical regenerative support.

How much will this cost me over 2-3 years?

Honest answer: meaningful investment. A typical comprehensive hair restoration pathway over 24 months might include £2,500–£5,000 in treatment programmes plus ongoing maintenance of £1,500–£3,000 annually thereafter — so realistically £4,000–£8,000+ over the first 2 years for substantive intervention. We'll be transparent at consultation about expected total investment over your planned treatment horizon.

Where is AEOM located?

Our clinic is at 116 Seymour Place in Marylebone, London.

Marylebone, Baker Street and Edgware Road stations are all under ten minutes on foot. Free street parking is available after 6.30pm, with paid bays on York Street nearby — daytime parking is reimbursed for treatments over £200. Treatments are by appointment only.
