Hair Loss Treatment in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire

Hair loss can be distressing, frustrating, and often difficult to understand. Whether you've noticed increased shedding in the shower, widening of your parting, thinning around the temples, or reduced hair density overall, it's important to know that hair loss is a symptom—not a diagnosis.

At SKinfluence, we take a comprehensive approach to hair restoration. Rather than simply recommending a treatment, we aim to understand why the hair loss is occurring and develop a personalised plan that supports both scalp health and long-term hair growth.

Our treatments focus on improving scalp health, stimulating dormant follicles, supporting the hair growth cycle, and creating the ideal environment for stronger, healthier hair.

What Is Hair Loss?

Hair loss occurs when the normal hair growth cycle becomes disrupted.

Every hair follicle cycles through three main phases:

Anagen (Growth Phase)

The active growth phase where hair is continuously produced. This phase can last between 2-7 years.

Catagen (Transition Phase)

A short phase where the follicle begins to shrink and detach from its blood supply.

Telogen (Resting Phase)

The follicle rests before the hair sheds and a new cycle begins.

When this cycle becomes disrupted, hair may shed excessively, follicles may become miniaturised, or growth may slow significantly.

Common Signs of Hair Loss

You may notice:

• Increased shedding when washing or brushing 

• Hair collecting on pillows or clothing 

• A widening parting 

• Reduced ponytail thickness 

• Thinning around the temples 

• Visible scalp through the hair 

• Slower hair growth 

• Receding hairline 

• Patchy areas of hair loss 

• Reduced density following illness, stress or hormonal changes 

What Causes Hair Loss?

Hair loss is rarely caused by a single factor. It is often multifactorial, which is why assessment is so important.

Genetics

Androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss) is the most common cause of progressive thinning.

This occurs when hair follicles become increasingly sensitive to DHT (dihydrotestosterone), causing follicles to gradually shrink and produce finer hairs over time.

Hormonal Changes

Hormonal fluctuations can significantly impact hair growth, including:

• Menopause

• Perimenopause

• Postpartum changes 

• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) 

• Thyroid disorders 

• Hormonal contraception changes 

Stress & Illness

Physical or emotional stress can trigger telogen effluvium, causing large numbers of hairs to enter the shedding phase simultaneously.

Common triggers include:

• Major illness 

• Surgery

• Significant weight loss 

• Emotional trauma 

• Severe stress 

• Certain medications 

Hair shedding often appears 2-4 months after the triggering event.

Nutritional Deficiencies

Hair follicles are highly metabolically active and require adequate nutrition.

Common deficiencies associated with hair loss include:

• Iron

• Ferritin

• Vitamin D 

• Zinc

• B Vitamins 

• Protein

Scalp Health

A healthy scalp is essential for healthy hair.

Inflammation, poor circulation, excess oil production, dandruff, psoriasis, and chronic scalp irritation can all affect follicle function.

Types of Hair Loss We Commonly See

Female Pattern Hair Loss

Usually presents as:

• Widening parting 

• Reduced density through the crown 

• Diffuse thinning across the scalp 

Male Pattern Hair Loss

Typically affects:

• Hairline recession 

• Temple thinning 

• Crown thinning 

Telogen Effluvium

Characterised by:

• Sudden increase in shedding 

• Diffuse thinning 

• Hair coming out in larger amounts when washing or brushing 

Postpartum Hair Loss

Many women experience temporary shedding following pregnancy due to hormonal changes.

Menopausal Hair Thinning

Declining oestrogen levels can contribute to reduced density and slower growth.

Scalp Inflammation-Related Hair Loss

Chronic inflammation can negatively affect follicle health and may contribute to ongoing thinning.

CALECIM® Professional Hair Restoration

CALECIM® is one of the most exciting regenerative technologies available for hair restoration.

It contains a unique blend of growth factors, cytokines, proteins and signalling molecules derived from ethically sourced stem cell technology.

These signalling molecules help support communication between cells within the scalp environment and may help encourage healthier follicle activity.

Benefits of CALECIM Hair Treatments

• Supports scalp regeneration 

• Encourages healthier follicle function 

• Helps improve hair density 

• May reduce excessive shedding 

• Can improve overall scalp health 

• Suitable for both men and women 

CALECIM is often incorporated into treatment programmes alongside scalp stimulation therapies for enhanced results.

SQT® Biomicroneedling for Hair Loss

SQT Biomicroneedling is a unique treatment that utilises natural freshwater sponge spicules to stimulate the scalp without traditional needles.

Thousands of microscopic bio-microneedles create controlled stimulation within the scalp.

This process helps:

• Increase cellular turnover 

• Improve scalp circulation 

• Stimulate regenerative activity 

• Support nutrient delivery to follicles 

• Create an environment more favourable for hair growth 

Many clients appreciate SQT because it provides powerful stimulation while remaining minimally invasive.

Who Is It Suitable For?

SQT may be suitable for:

• Early-stage hair thinning 

• Diffuse hair loss 

• Menopausal hair thinning 

• Postpartum hair loss 

• Clients seeking non-surgical hair restoration 

Moxi™ Scalp Rejuvenation

While many people know Moxi as a skin rejuvenation treatment, its ability to create controlled micro-injury and stimulate regeneration makes it an exciting option for scalp rejuvenation and hair restoration.

Moxi delivers precise non-ablative laser energy into the scalp.

This controlled stimulation activates the body's natural healing response and encourages tissue remodelling.

Potential Benefits of Moxi for Hair Loss

• Improves scalp health 

• Stimulates regenerative pathways 

• Supports circulation within the scalp 

• Creates an environment conducive to healthier hair growth 

• Can enhance absorption of regenerative topicals such as CALECIM 

By improving the quality of the scalp environment, Moxi may help support healthier, stronger hair over time.

Combination Therapy: Why We Often Combine Treatments

The best hair restoration outcomes frequently come from addressing hair loss from multiple angles.

For example:

Moxi + CALECIM

Moxi creates controlled stimulation within the scalp, while CALECIM delivers regenerative signalling molecules that can support the healing and growth process.

SQT + CALECIM

SQT stimulates the scalp mechanically while CALECIM provides biological support to optimise regeneration.

Comprehensive Hair Restoration Plans

Treatment plans may also include:

• Homecare recommendations 

• Scalp health optimisation 

• Nutritional support 

• Lifestyle modifications 

• Medical referrals where appropriate 

When Should You Seek Help for Hair Loss?

You should consider an assessment if you notice:

• Increased shedding lasting longer than 3 months 

• Visible scalp showing through hair 

• Progressive thinning 

• Widening parting 

• Receding hairline 

• Patchy areas of hair loss 

• Sudden changes in density 

Early intervention often provides the greatest opportunity to preserve and support existing hair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can hair loss be reversed?

This depends on the underlying cause. Some forms of hair loss are temporary and highly responsive to treatment, while others require ongoing management.

How many treatments will I need?

Most hair restoration programmes require a course of treatments rather than a single session. Your personalised plan will depend on your diagnosis, severity of hair loss, and treatment goals.

How long does it take to see results?

Hair grows slowly. Most clients begin noticing improvements in shedding, hair quality, or density after several months. Significant changes often take 6-12 months.

Is hair restoration painful?

Most treatments are well tolerated. Comfort levels vary depending on the treatment chosen, but procedures are designed with patient comfort in mind.

Do I need a consultation first?

Yes. Hair loss has many potential causes, so a detailed consultation is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
