Women’s Hair Loss Expert Available for Media Comment
Dr. Amy Vowler is a London-based women’s hair loss specialist and founder of Hair GP, a doctor-led clinic focused on female hair loss. She is available as a spokesperson and expert source for journalists, broadcasters, and producers covering hair thinning, alopecia, menopause-related hair loss, and scalp health across the UK.
Women’s hair loss is far more prevalent than public awareness suggests. Despite affecting millions of women in the UK, it remains underdiagnosed by GPs, poorly understood by the public, and exploited by an unregulated industry. Dr. Vowler provides expert comment to help journalists cover this topic accurately.

Dr. Amy Vowler
Dr. Vowler is a doctor specialising in female hair loss who founded Hair GP to address a critical gap in women’s healthcare: the lack of specialist, evidence-based diagnosis and treatment for women experiencing hair thinning and hair loss. Where most clinics treat hair loss as a sideline — or push commercial treatments without proper diagnosis — Hair GP takes a medical-first approach.
Every Hair GP consultation includes detailed scalp microscopy, comprehensive blood work analysis (where needed), and a diagnostic workup designed to identify the root cause of hair loss — not just the symptom. Dr. Vowler has consulted on hundreds of cases spanning androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, scarring alopecias, and hormonally-driven hair thinning related to menopause, PCOS, and postpartum changes.
Hair GP publishes extensively on women’s hair health, producing medically-reviewed educational content that reaches thousands of women each month — many of whom have struggled for years to get an accurate diagnosis or find credible, evidence-based information about female hair loss treatments.

Ready-Made Story Ideas on Women’s Hair Loss
Need an angle? Here are topics Dr. Vowler can provide expert comment and supporting data on at short notice.
Why are so many women losing their hair — and why is no one talking about it?
Female hair loss is far more common than people realise, yet there’s almost no public health messaging and limited NHS provision. We can discuss the scale of the problem, why it’s been historically dismissed, and what needs to change.
The menopause hair loss crisis
Hair thinning is one of the most distressing — and least discussed — symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. We can explain the hormonal mechanics, what treatments actually work, and why it’s so often missed by GPs.
Inside the unregulated hair loss industry
Women are spending thousands on treatments sold by unqualified clinics and social media influencers. We can provide expert perspective on what works, what doesn’t, and the red flags consumers should watch for.
Postpartum hair loss: what’s normal and when to worry
Many new mothers are alarmed by dramatic post-birth shedding. We can explain the physiology, distinguish normal shedding from conditions requiring treatment, and address the anxiety gap in postnatal care.
Hair loss supplements: the evidence vs the marketing
Biotin, collagen, saw palmetto — the supplement market is booming, but what does the research actually say? We can provide an evidence-based breakdown of what helps, what’s harmless, and what’s a waste of money.
The psychological toll of hair loss in women
Hair loss in women carries a uniquely heavy psychological burden — identity, femininity, social anxiety, depression. We can speak to the clinical reality and the emotional impact we see every day in consultations.
Doctor-led, not sales-led
Our approach starts with diagnosis, not product recommendations. Every patient receives a full clinical workup before any treatment is discussed.
Women first, by design
Women’s hair loss is our specialist interest and main focus — not a sideline bolted onto a general dermatology or cosmetics practice. Founded by a female doctor, we built Hair GP specifically to address the gap in care that women with hair loss so often experience. We do also treat men, but women’s hair loss is at the heart of everything we do.
Evidence over anecdote
Our clinical approach and published content are grounded in peer-reviewed research. We can help journalists separate genuine science from industry spin.
