At Sussex Hair Clinic, we believe that effective treatment starts with an accurate diagnosis. With over 24 years of clinical experience, we identify the root cause of your condition to create a safe, personalized path to recovery.

Common Hair Loss Conditions

Female Pattern Hair Loss

Also known as Androgenetic Alopecia, this is the most common form of hair loss in women. You may notice a widening parting or a general reduction in volume, rather than distinct bald patches. It is often genetic but can be managed effectively if treated early.

Male Pattern Baldness

Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia) typically presents as a receding hairline or thinning at the crown. While largely hereditary, specialized trichology treatments can help slow the rate of loss and improve the density of existing hair.

Telogen Effluvium (Excessive Shedding)

Have you noticed more hair in your brush or shower drain? Telogen Effluvium is a reactive condition where stress, illness, or trauma pushes hair into a shedding phase. We help identify the trigger to stop the shedding and encourage regrowth.

Alopecia Areata

This autoimmune condition causes sudden, smooth, round bald patches on the scalp or body. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles. Treatment focuses on calming the immune response and stimulating the follicles.

Traction Alopecia

Caused by constant tension on the hair roots—often from tight braids, ponytails, or extensions—this condition is entirely preventable. Early intervention is critical to save the follicles before the damage becomes permanent.

Hair Breakage & Damage

Hair breakage is different from hair loss; the hair snaps along the shaft rather than falling from the root. This is often due to heat styling, chemical over-processing, or nutritional deficiencies. We help restore your hair’s structural integrity.

Hormonal & Medical Related Hair Loss

PCOS-Related Hair Loss

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) creates a hormonal imbalance (excess androgens) that can trigger thinning hair in women. We work to manage the scalp environment alongside your medical treatment to support retention and growth.

Menopause Hair Loss

As estrogen levels drop during perimenopause and menopause, hair can become finer, drier, and prone to falling out. Our treatments focus on nourishing the scalp and counteracting the effects of hormonal shifts on your follicles.

Post-Pregnancy Hair Loss

It is common to lose hair 3–6 months after giving birth due to rapidly falling hormone levels. While often temporary, we provide support to ensure your hair cycle returns to normal as quickly as possible.

Thyroid & Eyebrow Hair Loss

Thinning eyebrows (especially the outer third) can be a key indicator of thyroid issues or other metabolic imbalances. We look beyond the scalp to check for these systemic signs during your diagnosis.

Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling)

This is an impulse control disorder involving the urge to pull out one’s own hair. We offer a non-judgmental, compassionate environment to assess the damage and discuss therapies to help the scalp recover.
