Your first consultation at our Ipswich trichology clinic lasts around 40–60 minutes and is a dedicated, in-depth appointment designed specifically for hair loss and scalp conditions. Unlike a standard GP appointment, your trichologist will allow the time needed for a detailed assessment so you receive clear, specialist guidance from the outset.

During your consultation, your trichologist will take a full case history covering general health, family background, lifestyle and diet. This is followed by a complete examination of the hair and scalp, and digital microscopic analysis where appropriate.

A diagnosis is usually reached after both the history and physical examination have taken place. Many scalp disorders can be identified at the appointment, but certain types of hair loss may require further blood tests or biopsy, which can be arranged through your GP or carried out privately if preferred.

Once we have established the cause of your symptoms, you will receive personalised advice and, where suitable, treatment recommendations tailored to your specific hair or scalp concern. If needed, your trichologist may also suggest referral to another healthcare specialist, such as a dermatologists or hair transplant surgeons.

Our approach is holistic, taking into account all factors that influence your hair and scalp – including nutrition, lifestyle, sensitivities, allergies, stress levels and hair-care practices. Because every detail matters, your initial consultation is intentionally thorough to ensure an accurate diagnosis and a clear plan forward.

As a Registrant of the Institute of Trichologists — the UK’s only trichology body with a PSA-accredited register — you can feel confident that your assessment is carried out to the highest professional standard by an accredited specialist.

If you’re experiencing hair loss, thinning, itching or any ongoing scalp issue, our Ipswich clinic is here to help with clearer answers and expert support.

Treatment

We provide and prescribe a wide range of treatments for both hair loss and scalp conditions. All formulations are selected with sensitivity in mind, as irritation and discomfort are common concerns for many patients. Our aim is always to offer effective solutions that are gentle, reassuring, and appropriate for your specific condition.

Many treatments are designed for easy use at home and can be incorporated seamlessly into your daily routine. In some cases, we may recommend in-clinic treatments carried out weekly, fortnightly or monthly, depending on the type and severity of the condition. These sessions allow your trichologist to closely monitor your progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed. The frequency of any clinical treatments is entirely your choice.

Topical preparations for home use are sometimes recommended, and may be suggested alongside nutritional or dietary supplements where appropriate. For certain conditions, electrotherapy, including laser, high frequency, ultraviolet and infrared therapy can be beneficial when used in combination with topical treatments.

In some situations, the most suitable approach may involve cosmetic options such as styling techniques, camouflage products, hair fibres, sprays thickeners or creams. We also supply a selection of specialist shampoos, conditioners and scalp lotions for specific conditions.

Not all conditions require treatment, and treatment is only offered when clinically appropriate. In many cases, simple adjustments to lifestyle, routine or hair-care habits can play an important role in managing symptoms. Our focus is always on providing safe, sensible and personalised advice tailored to your individual needs.

Private Hairdressing Service

We also offer a private hairdressing service designed for clients who are anxious about having their hair cut in a busy salon environment. Our unique service means you are able to get your haircut in a private room away from the main salon floor, with one of our highly experienced and qualified hair stylists.

Our qualified stylists are very experienced in dealing with hair that is particularly fine or thinning, and working with scalp conditions. This unique private hairdressing service is available for both men & women, by appointment only. For more information please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Our Fees

During your consultation you will be asked questions about your health, diet, family history and how you care for your hair. Your hair and scalp will be closely examined and sometimes hair samples are taken for microscopic examination.

After a diagnosis and explanation of the problem, the best form of treatment or management will be suggested. You should rest assured that no pressure will be applied and that there is no obligation to commence treatment.

We strive to be open and honest in everything we do. We are here to help.
