Hair Loss Treatments at Murakami Medical Centre

Private Hair Loss Consultation & Treatment in Hampstead, London

At Murakami Medical Centre in Hampstead, we provide a medically led approach to the consultation and management of hair loss in both men and women. Hair thinning is not a single diagnosis but a clinical presentation with multiple potential underlying causes. Effective treatment depends on identifying these causes and tailoring management accordingly.

Hair loss may be associated with genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, physiological stress, or underlying medical conditions that affect the hair growth cycle. In many cases, more than one contributing factor may be present.

For this reason, all patients begin with a consultation. Where appropriate, this may include blood testing to assess markers such as iron levels, vitamin deficiencies, thyroid function, and other indicators relevant to hair health. This ensures that any treatment recommended is appropriate, targeted, and based on clinical understanding.

Understanding Hair Loss

Hair loss can present as diffuse thinning, increased shedding, reduced density, or patterned loss affecting specific areas of the scalp. The underlying mechanism often relates to disruption of the hair growth cycle, follicular miniaturisation, or external triggers that shift hair into the shedding phase.

While some forms of hair loss are temporary and self-limiting, others are progressive and require ongoing management. Differentiating between these presentations is an essential part of consultation.

  • What is hair loss treatment?

    Hair loss treatment is a clinically guided process that involves identifying the cause of hair thinning and implementing a tailored management plan. This may include investigation of underlying deficiencies, addressing contributing medical factors, and recommending treatments that support follicular function and hair growth.

    Treatment is not a single intervention, but a structured pathway that begins with consultation and progresses to targeted management based on individual findings.

  • Why might you seek treatment for hair loss?

    Patients may seek consultation due to persistent shedding, progressive thinning, reduced hair volume, or visible changes in scalp coverage. In some cases, hair loss may follow a specific trigger such as illness, stress, hormonal change, or nutritional imbalance.

    Early consultation is particularly important where hair loss is progressive, as intervention is often more effective when hair follicles remain active.

  • What can hair loss treatment help with?

    Hair loss treatment may help identify and address underlying causes, reduce excessive shedding, stabilise progression, and support improved hair density and quality over time. In some cases, treatment focuses on correcting reversible factors, while in others it may involve supporting long-term follicular function.

    The aim is to provide clinically appropriate management and realistic expectations based on the nature of the hair loss.

PRP Hair Loss Treatment

At Murakami Medical Centre, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is the primary treatment we offer for suitable cases of hair loss. PRP is a regenerative treatment that uses a concentrated portion of your own blood to stimulate hair follicles and support natural hair growth.

PRP is not suitable for all types of hair loss and is only recommended following consultation, once the underlying cause has been assessed and any contributing factors have been identified.

When appropriate, PRP treatment can help improve hair density, strengthen existing follicles, and support healthier hair growth over time. It is most effective in cases where hair follicles remain active and capable of responding to stimulation.

Hair Loss Treatments at Murakami Medical Centre, Hampstead

What are the different types of hair loss and how are they identified?

Hair loss can occur in several forms, the most common being androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) and telogen effluvium (diffuse shedding). Pattern hair loss typically develops gradually and affects specific areas of the scalp, while telogen effluvium often presents as increased shedding triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal change.

Other causes may include nutritional deficiencies, thyroid dysfunction, inflammatory scalp conditions, or less commonly autoimmune factors. A consultation is required to distinguish between these causes, as treatment approaches differ depending on the underlying diagnosis.

Why is a consultation required before treatment?

Hair loss can have multiple contributing factors, and similar symptoms may arise from different underlying causes. Without consultation, treatment may be ineffective or incorrectly targeted.

A consultation allows for a structured review of your symptoms, medical history, and potential triggers, ensuring that any treatment recommended is appropriate and based on clinical understanding.

Do I need a blood test for hair loss?

Yes. At Murakami Medical Centre, a blood test is carried out as part of your consultation to help identify any underlying factors that may be contributing to hair loss.

Hair thinning can be associated with issues such as iron deficiency, vitamin imbalance, thyroid dysfunction, and other systemic factors that affect the hair growth cycle. Testing these markers allows us to gain a clearer understanding of your hair health and ensures that any treatment recommended is based on clinical findings rather than assumption.

Including blood testing within the consultation enables a more accurate diagnosis and helps guide a personalised and effective treatment plan.

Is PRP suitable for all types of hair loss?

PRP is most effective in cases where hair follicles remain active but require stimulation. It may not be suitable for advanced hair loss or where follicles are no longer viable.

This is why PRP is only recommended following consultation, ensuring that it is used appropriately and in the correct clinical context.

Can hair loss be reversed or only managed?

This depends on the underlying cause. In cases where hair loss is related to reversible factors such as nutritional deficiency or temporary physiological stress, improvement may be achieved once these issues are addressed.

In progressive conditions such as genetic hair loss, treatment may focus on slowing progression, maintaining existing hair, and improving density where possible.

What results can I expect from treatment?

Yes. At Murakami Medical Centre, all patients undergo a clinical consultation before starting PRP treatment. Hair loss can be influenced by a range of factors, including nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, stress, and underlying medical conditions.

As part of this assessment, a blood test may be recommended to check for factors such as low iron levels or vitamin deficiencies. This allows us to identify any underlying causes and ensure that PRP treatment is appropriate, or whether additional medical support is required to achieve the best possible outcome.
