Hair thinning

Causes, concerns and effective solutions

Hair thinning can affect both men and women and can be distressing, impacting confidence and wellbeing. It can result from a variety of factors including genetics (androgenic alopecia), hormonal changes, ageing, stress, reduced scalp circulation and follicle miniaturisation. At The Wessex Skin Clinic, we combine clinical expertise with cutting-edge treatments to help you address this common concern gently and effectively.

*Please note that not all types of hair loss are suitable for treatment. We will advise you at your consultation if this is the case.

What Causes Hair Thinning?

As follicles enter a shortened growth phase and produce finer, weaker hairs, overall hair density decreases and the scalp becomes more visible. This process is natural with ageing and influenced by genetic and hormonal factors, but can be accelerated by stress, nutritional changes, and scalp health issues.

Advanced Microneedling for Thinning Hair

One of the most effective clinical approaches to improving hair thinning is microneedling — a minimally invasive technique where tiny, controlled micro-injuries are created on the scalp to stimulate the body’s natural repair processes. Microneedling has been shown to support neocollagenesis (new collagen formation) and enhance blood flow to the treatment area, helping to strengthen follicular activity over time.

Microneedling With Purasomes

To maximise results for thinning hair, we use microneedling with Purasomes, an innovative regenerative treatment designed to work at a cellular level. Purasomes are a bio-active complex rich in growth factors, peptides and extracellular vesicles that help reset the hair follicle environment and support healthier scalp conditions.

When delivered through microneedling:

  • Enhanced penetration: Micro-channels created by needling allow Purasomes to reach deeper into the scalp where hair growth processes begin.
  • Follicle revitalisation: Growth factors help reactivate dormant follicles and regulate the hair growth cycle.
  • Improved scalp health: A well-nourished, well-oxygenated scalp supports stronger and thicker hair growth.

This combination offers a non-hormonal, regenerative choice for those seeking to improve hair thickness and scalp vitality with minimal downtime.

It can be used safely in conjunction with other forms of treatment for hair loss.

At The Wessex Skin Clinic, we also offer the AllSkinMed Hair range, a dedicated line of professional products formulated to support hair and scalp health.
