Hair treatments
Treatments that encourage hair growth on the scalp, combining Jovinil and gold materials. They suit thinning that stems from the condition of the scalp or from weakened follicles — not thinning that is a sign of something needing medical investigation.
Start with the scalp
A scalp is skin, and it's treated as such. Before talking about growth we look at the condition of the scalp itself — because thinning that originates in the scalp and thinning that originates in weakened follicles are not the same story.
The analysis does the same job here that it does on the face: first a conversation about what happened and when it started, then a close look at the skin itself.
What the treatment involves
The treatment combines Jovinil and gold materials, in methodical work on the scalp to encourage an environment that allows growth.
It is an ongoing process, not a session that shows a change the next day. As with anything that rests on gradual building, continuity matters more than the intensity of a single session.
And the honest part
Some thinning isn't the field of a cosmetics clinic. Rapid shedding, patchy shedding, a sudden change, or one accompanied by other signs all require medical investigation before anything is started.
If that's the picture, I'll refer you to a doctor and won't begin a treatment. This isn't excess caution: a process that covers an unexamined cause causes delay, and delay here is expensive.
Who it suits
- The hair has thinned gradually and the scalp's condition looks like part of the picture
- You want a supportive process over time rather than a one-off fix
- You've had a medical investigation and nothing found requires medical treatment
- It matters to you to be told honestly if this isn't the right place
When we talk first, and when I refer you to a doctor
- Rapid shedding, patchy shedding, shedding that began suddenly, or shedding accompanied by other signs are examined by a doctor before any treatment.
- Medical conditions and certain medications affect hair and affect suitability. Tell me about them at the analysis.
This page is a general explanation of the treatment, not personal advice. Suitability is established at the skin analysis and the conversation around it — and if this treatment isn't what your skin needs, you'll hear that from me.

A computerised skin analysis is not a formality before the treatment; it is what decides what the treatment will be. Here is exactly what happens at the first session, and what it shows that the eye cannot.

Tell me what's bothering you and we'll book a skin analysis and a conversation. By the end of it you'll know what's reasonable to expect, over what period, and whether this is the right method for you at all.
