Hair Loss Awareness Month is an opportunity to shine a light on a condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While hair loss is often associated with ageing, it can affect both men and women at any stage of life. Whether caused by genetics, hormonal changes, stress, illness, nutritional deficiencies or the natural ageing process, thinning hair can have a significant impact on confidence and wellbeing.

The good news is that advances in regenerative medicine mean there are now more effective, non-surgical treatment options than ever before. At Wessex Skin Clinic, one of our most popular hair restoration treatments combines medical microneedling with Purosomes, helping to stimulate healthier hair growth while improving scalp health.

Why Does Hair Loss Happen?

Hair grows in natural cycles of growth, transition and shedding. When these cycles become disrupted, or hair follicles begin to shrink, the result can be thinning hair or noticeable hair loss.

Some of the most common causes include:

  • Male and female pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia)
  • Hormonal changes, including menopause and postpartum hair loss
  • Stress-related shedding (telogen effluvium)
  • Nutritional deficiencies
  • Certain medications or medical conditions
  • Age-related thinning

Early intervention is key. The sooner treatment begins, the greater the opportunity to preserve existing hair and encourage stronger, healthier regrowth.

How Microneedling with Purosomes Works

Microneedling has become an increasingly recognised treatment for hair restoration. Using tiny, medical-grade needles, controlled microchannels are created within the scalp. These microscopic injuries stimulate the body’s natural repair mechanisms, increasing blood flow and encouraging the release of growth factors around the hair follicle.

When combined with Purosomes, the treatment becomes even more powerful.

Purosomes are advanced regenerative bioactive formulations containing naturally derived growth factors, peptides, amino acids, antioxidants and signalling molecules. Applied immediately after microneedling, they penetrate through the freshly created microchannels, delivering concentrated regenerative ingredients directly to the scalp where they are needed most.

Together, microneedling and Purosomes work to:

  • Stimulate dormant hair follicles
  • Support healthier follicle function
  • Improve scalp circulation
  • Encourage thicker, stronger hair growth
  • Improve overall scalp health
  • Reduce ongoing hair shedding

The treatment is suitable for many patients experiencing early to moderate hair thinning and can be used alongside other medical hair restoration treatments where appropriate.

Supporting Your Results at Home

Professional treatments achieve the best outcomes when combined with a consistent home care routine. That’s why we often recommend the ALLSKIN MED Hair Regeneration range, specifically developed to complement regenerative hair treatments and help maintain scalp health between appointments. The range is designed to work alongside in-clinic treatments to optimise results.

ALLSKIN MED Hair Exfoliating Shampoo

Healthy hair begins with a healthy scalp. The ALLSKIN MED Hair Exfoliating Shampoo gently removes excess oil, product build-up and dead skin cells while cleansing the scalp without excessive dryness.

Key ingredients including salicylic acid, piroctone olamine and climbazole help exfoliate the scalp, maintain a healthy scalp environment and prepare the skin for other hair treatments. A clean, balanced scalp provides the ideal environment for healthier hair growth.

ALLSKIN MED Anti-Hair Loss Oral Capsules

Hair health starts from within. These daily capsules provide targeted nutritional support using a combination of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and botanical ingredients that contribute to normal hair growth and healthy hair structure.

The formula includes L-Cystine to support keratin production, alongside zinc, selenium, copper, B vitamins, vitamins C and E, plus pumpkin seed oil, which is commonly used to support hair health. Together, these ingredients help protect hair follicles from oxidative stress while supporting stronger, healthier hair.

ALLSKIN MED Anti-Hair Loss & Redensifying Lotion

This lightweight leave-on scalp treatment is designed to extend the benefits of professional hair restoration treatments. Applied daily, it contains Wharton Gel Complex®, melatonin and caffeine, ingredients selected to support scalp health, encourage healthier-looking hair and enhance the effects of in-clinic regenerative treatments.

The lotion absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, making it easy to incorporate into your everyday routine.

A Personalised Approach to Hair Restoration

Every patient’s hair loss journey is different. At Wessex Skin Clinic, we begin with a detailed consultation to identify the likely cause of your hair thinning before recommending the most appropriate treatment plan.

For many patients, combining microneedling with Purosomes alongside a dedicated home care routine offers an effective, non-surgical solution that supports healthier hair growth and improved scalp health over time.
