When you consider your peers / the men in your life, it may or may not be surprising that male pattern baldness (or hereditary hair loss) affects some 85% or so of men by the age of 50. It tends to start from late 20s / early 30s or may occur as young as the late teens.
Of course, sparser hair in itself is not an issue but it can become so if it causes stress or a lack self-confidence e.g. if it feels prematurely ageing or doesn’t reflect your general good health. A multi-billion dollar industry has set about remedying what for many men is a daily concern.
August is #HairLossAwareness month - the annual campaign which encourages the important discussion around loss and the impact it can have, also signposting the advice and support you can access.
There are an increasing number of options to help achieve a healthy head of hair e.g. treatments to promote and maintain hair growth, drugs to slow hair loss and transplants which redistribute hair around the head. In the early stages, some people simply opt to style hair to disguise a receding hairline or bald spots.
This video shows our radiofrequency microneedling treatment with a natural regenerative solution which is comfortable and yields good results. Sometimes it’s helpful to see what treatment involves, whether you wish to investigate options or embrace your hair as it is.
If you have any questions, do let us know.
We’re seeing wonderful results from our new radiofrequency microneedling device. It’s unique in how it transforms skin, yet is super comfortable and there’s little to no downtime. Remodelled collagen here we come.
Radiofrequency microneedling is an increasingly popular choice for skin rejuvenation, helping to:
Improve skin texture
Reduce lines & wrinkles
Tighten, lift and plump skin
Minimise the appearance of pores
Treat acne scars and blemishes
Virtue RF is the world’s first RF microneedling, combining radiofrequency energy and microneedling technologies to create micro-injuries in the skin and stimulate your body’s natural healing process as collagen, elastin, and fibroblast activity all increase.
So when can you expect results from treatment?
A benefit of RF Microneedling is that results are natural, immediate and continue to improve with time, taking 4-6 weeks for the newly created collagen to take effect.

Some issues were challenging to treat in the past e.g. under eyes, lines around the mouth, sagging skin, scarring, thinnning hair. Exosome therapy has been a really welcome development therefore as it produces great results for skin and hair regeneration.

Do you feel more confident in skincare / products which are personalised to you? A huge 80%+ of respondents would pay more for products which are based on detailed skin or hair diagnosis, DNA testing, a medical endorsement or medicated formulation (Euromonitor survey).
You’ll find a greater degree of bespoke offerings these days and technology like digital skin analysis has already been in use in a few clinics such as WY’s for many years.
The rationale behind skin analysis is that, whilst a doctor or skin practitioner has a very experienced eye and can assess a lot from just a face to face consultation, this sophisticated technnology enables us to carry out a much more detaled analysis of your skin and predict issues your skin may develop, how it may age, etc.
The comprehensive skin report it produces gives us various key metrics to evaluate:
* UV damage
* Age spots
* Redness
* Pores
* Wrinkles
* Porphyrins
* Skin texture
Visia in particular is the gold-standard in skin imaging, enabling us to see deep down into your dermis: from oil production and sun damage to underlying redness. Which means not only can we prescribe the right treatment for you and your skin – but, with regular check-ins (if you need them), we can also keep tabs on it, ensuring that it’s behaving and improving as it should.
Whether you’re considering a professional skincare line, dermal fillers, skin boosters or a treatment like a resurfacing medifacial, skin analysis results will help you to better understand your skin and what it would benefit from. In other words, some objective data along with human expert analysis as to the best treatment options for you and whether an investment in treatment or products would be worthwhile.
If you’d like to book a skin review - whether it’s your first or a check in to see how your skin is currently faring - do let us know 📱
Are you happy with the skin on your neck / chest? If not, watch this quick video of a highly effective regenerating treatment for the fragile skin in these areas.
The neck and décolletage are quick to show the signs of ageing, given the skin is thinner than on your face but typically receives less TLC and is exposed to the same UV damage, pollutants, oxidants and ageing process as skin elsewhere.
Even the smallest decline in collagen and elastin can mean skin here starts to appear less firm and to develop lines and crepiness.
It also has fewer sebaceous glands and hair follicles, as well as fewer stem cells which support skin renewal.
You may also notice redness, brown spots, enlarged pores, oiliness, rosacea, breakouts, etc which can flare during the ageing process.
If your neck / décolletage develops issues which make you uncomfortable, polynucleotides are an exciting treatment innovation. They have been long utilised in regenerative medicine due to their natural healing capability and are now used in aesthetics as a highly effective means of skin regeneration.
These ‘biostimulators’ work at a cellular level, triggering skin to rejuvenate itself. As the polynucleotides initiate your body’s natural fibroblast production, this results in increased collagen and a thicker, healthier epidermis.
Acting as a form of skin revitalisation, polynuceleotides:
* trigger fibroblast production, boosting collagen, elastin & hyaluronic acid stores
* improve skin quality, pigmentation & tone
* diminish wrinkles & crepiness
* tackle enlarged pores & stretch marks
* reduce inflammation e.g. help to control breakouts
* treat areas which are sometimes challenging (eg neck, under eye)
* encourage skin cells to behave better over time
We’ll share this patient’s results in a few weeks but do let us know in the meantime if you have any questions.

What makes you try a new skincare product? Dr Asha explains below why she’s excited about Alastin’s arrival in the UK. It can feel like a leap of faith if you’ve been using something tried & tested for years but sometimes change can be beneficial.
Dr Asha attended the UK launch and says,
“”Alastin skincare products have been hugely successful in the USA and are now finally available here! 🥳
Their products contain an innovative technology called TriHex - a blend of peptides and active ingredients scientifically proven to
- clear out damaged cells
- enhance the skin’s natural ability to produce collagen and elastin
- reduce signs of aging
- accelerate healing
These at-home products perfectly complement regenerative skin treatments such as Profhilo and Polynucleotides, helping to deliver even better results.
Attending these exclusive events is always a pleasure, not just for the great atmosphere and the chance to catch up with colleagues, but also for the invaluable insights they provide.
Staying in the loop on advancements in the aesthetic industry is important to me so I can ensure my patients are always receiving the best care possible.”
Stay tuned for more updates on @Alastin and other introductions to the clinic which may prove helpful for you 💜
What is Profhilo Structura? Dr You-Jin takes you through the key details of this new lifting and contouring injectable.
The first of its kind, Profhilo Structura is a regenerative injectable treatment, made from hyaluronic acid, which is specifically indicated for regenerating the fat layers under the skin - ie it helps to build back your skin’s support structure which declines as you age.
Unlike the original Profhilo - the well-known skin booster which focuses on skin regeneration - Profhilo Structura is designed to target the deeper structural changes in your face, giving you a more lifted and naturally contoured profile.
The treatment involves an initial two sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart, followed by a maintenance treatment every four to six months.
It is a low risk procedure, with little to no downtime.
Any questions? Get in touch as we’ll be delighted to help.

Profhilo is great for giving your skin a pre-holiday glow. In this video, Dr Paris explains where it can be used and how it can improve your skin’s texture and elasticity.
If you want to look fresh-faced and well-rested this Christmas, we’d recommend booking a consultation to discuss the appropriate aesthetic procedure for you.
Anti-wrinkle injections are one of the injectable treatments we offer, along with dermal fillers and Profhilo. All provide different benefits, but our overall ambition is always the same - natural, balanced results which make you look like a better version of yourself.
If you decide to go ahead with anti-wrinkle injections, we always offer a complimentary two week review following treatment.
Injectable moisturisers (sometimes called skin boosters) are increasingly popular with our patients. This family of products all have different qualities, but they generally all contain hyaluronic acid to hydrate and plump the skin.
Unlike fillers, they do not alter the structure of the face, and are injected just below the surface of the skin. Some, like Profhilo, stimulate collagen and elastin production for long lasting rejuvenation. Others improve the luminosity and overall condition of your skin and have light refractive properties to give firmness and radiance.
To discuss the most suitable injectable moisturiser for your skin, book a consultation with our aesthetic team.
