If you’re reading this, you’ve probably already spent months Googling symptoms, tried a GP appointment that ended with “your bloods are fine,” and waded through pages of clinics that seem to be built for men. Hair GP is different. We’re a specialist women’s hair loss clinic in London, founded and led by Dr Amy — a GP and hair restoration specialist who diagnoses, prescribes, and treats women’s hair loss under one roof. No referrals. No being passed between practitioners. No generic advice. Book a consultation and get answers from a doctor who specialises in exactly this.
Why Choose a Specialist Women’s Hair Loss Clinic?
Women’s hair loss is not men’s hair loss in a different font. The causes are different, the patterns are different, and the treatments are different — yet most London clinics are designed around male hair loss and bolt on a women’s page as an afterthought.
One in three women in the UK will experience noticeable hair loss during their lifetime. For many, the cause is hormonal, multifactorial, or linked to an underlying medical condition that a topical spray alone won’t fix. Female pattern hair loss behaves differently from male pattern baldness. Conditions like perimenopause, PCOS, thyroid disorders, and iron deficiency all cause or accelerate hair loss in ways that demand proper medical investigation, not just a prescription for minoxidil.
A specialist women’s hair loss clinic understands the interplay between hormones, life stages, and hair follicle health. That’s what we do every day. Explore the conditions we specialise in.

Doctor-Led, Not Trichologist-Led
This distinction matters more than most women realise, and it’s worth understanding before you book anywhere.
Trichologist-led clinics employ hair and scalp specialists who can assess your hair under magnification and recommend topical products. What they cannot do is prescribe medication, order comprehensive blood panels, or diagnose the underlying medical conditions that are often driving your hair loss. Trichology is not a regulated medical profession — there is no prescribing authority.
Pharmacy-led clinics can dispense topical treatments such as over-the-counter minoxidil. They cannot investigate hormonal causes, interpret complex blood work, or prescribe the oral medications that many women with hair loss actually need.
Surgery-focused clinics prioritise hair transplants — procedures costing £3,000 to £15,000 — because that’s their primary revenue model. Many women don’t need surgery at all. Others need medical treatment first to stabilise their loss before transplant surgery can even be considered.
Dr Amy is an NHS-trained GP with over a decade of clinical experience combined with specialist hair restoration training under Professor Gambino, and is a BAHRS (British Association of Hair Restoration Surgery) affiliate. This dual expertise means she can prescribe oral minoxidil, spironolactone, HRT, and other prescription medications in the same consultation — without sending you back to your GP and waiting weeks for another appointment. And if medical treatment isn’t enough, Hair GP also performs surgical hair restoration, so your entire care pathway stays with one doctor who knows your full history.

What Patients Say
Conditions We Specialise In
Women’s hair loss rarely has a single, simple cause. Hormonal shifts, genetic predisposition, nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune responses, and mechanical damage can all play a role — and in many cases, more than one factor is contributing at the same time. A medical consultation identifies all of them.
Hormonal & Genetic
- Female Pattern Hair Loss — the most common cause of progressive thinning in women
- Menopause Hair Loss — oestrogen decline and its effect on hair density
- Perimenopause Hair Loss — hormonal changes that often begin years before menopause
- PCOS Hair Loss — androgen-driven thinning linked to polycystic ovary syndrome
- Postpartum Hair Loss — the shedding phase after pregnancy
Reactive & Temporary
- Telogen Effluvium — sudden, diffuse shedding triggered by stress, illness, or nutritional changes
- Stress Hair Loss — how chronic and acute stress affect the hair growth cycle
Autoimmune & Inflammatory
- Alopecia Areata — patchy hair loss caused by immune system dysfunction
- Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia — progressive hairline recession increasingly seen in post-menopausal women
Mechanical
- Traction Alopecia — hair loss from sustained tension on the follicle from tight hairstyles
Medical & Systemic
- Thyroid Hair Loss — both underactive and overactive thyroid conditions affect hair growth
- Iron Deficiency Hair Loss — one of the most overlooked and undertreated causes of thinning
What Happens in Your Consultation
Knowing what to expect makes the process easier. Here’s how your appointment works, step by step.
Before your appointment, you’ll complete a detailed pre-consultation questionnaire covering your medical history, current medications, family history of hair loss, and a timeline of when you first noticed changes. This means Dr Amy can hit the ground running from the moment your consultation begins.
Comprehensive medical history. Dr Amy reviews your full medical, hormonal, and lifestyle picture — not just your scalp. Contraception, menstrual cycle, stress, recent illness, diet, and family history all factor into the diagnosis.
Scalp examination and trichoscopy. Using specialist magnification, Dr Amy assesses follicle health, miniaturisation patterns, scalp condition, and hair density. Images are recorded so your progress can be tracked at future appointments.
Blood test review or request. If you’ve had recent bloods done, Dr Amy reviews them using hair-specific thresholds — not the broad GP “normal” ranges that miss early problems. For example, your GP may say your ferritin is normal at 15 µg/L, but hair follicles need ferritin above 70 to function properly. If bloods haven’t been done, comprehensive panels are ordered at the same visit.
Diagnosis and personalised treatment plan. Every recommendation is based on your specific diagnosis, medical history, and blood results. Your plan may include prescription medication, topical treatments, injectable therapies, or lifestyle adjustments — tailored to you, not a template.
Follow-up pathway. Regular monitoring appointments track your progress and allow Dr Amy to adjust treatment as needed. Hair restoration is a process, not a single appointment, and your plan evolves with you.
Unlike many clinics, you won’t leave with a generic treatment plan. See our pricing or book your consultation.
Treatments We Offer
Every treatment we recommend starts with a diagnosis. We always begin with the least invasive, most evidence-based options and build from there.
Prescription Medications
Dr Amy can prescribe these directly during your consultation — no separate GP visit required. Oral minoxidil is increasingly used for women who find topical application impractical or irritating. Topical minoxidil remains the gold-standard first-line treatment for female pattern hair loss. Spironolactone works as an anti-androgen, particularly effective for hormonally driven thinning. HRT in hair-friendly formulations can be prescribed for women whose hair loss is linked to menopausal hormonal decline.
Injectable Treatments
PRP therapy uses your own platelet-rich plasma to stimulate follicle activity and improve hair density. Polynucleotide therapy supports scalp tissue regeneration and creates a healthier environment for hair growth.
Device-Based
Low-level laser therapy uses light energy to stimulate cellular activity in the hair follicle, available as both clinical and home-use devices.
Surgical Hair Restoration
When medical treatment alone isn’t sufficient, Dr Amy performs FUE and FUT hair transplant procedures — so your entire journey from diagnosis through to surgery stays under one roof, with one doctor who knows your full history.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. You can book directly with Hair GP. Dr Amy is a GP herself, so she can order any tests and write any prescriptions you need without referring you elsewhere.
See our current pricing. Your consultation includes a full scalp assessment, trichoscopy, blood test review or request, and a personalised treatment plan.
Trichologists can assess your scalp and recommend topical products, but they cannot prescribe medications like oral minoxidil, spironolactone, or HRT. If your hair loss has a hormonal or underlying medical cause, you need a doctor who can investigate and treat it — not just manage the symptoms on the surface.
This is one of the most common things we hear. Standard GP “normal” ranges aren’t optimised for hair health. Your GP may report your ferritin as normal at 15 µg/L, but hair follicles need levels above 70 to function properly. We interpret your results using hair-specific thresholds and often uncover deficiencies or imbalances that a standard review misses.
We specialise in women’s hair loss across a wide range of conditions, including female pattern hair loss, telogen effluvium, hormonal hair loss related to menopause, PCOS, and postpartum changes, as well as alopecia areata, traction alopecia, and more. See our full conditions list.
Dr Amy is trained in both medical and surgical hair restoration and performs FUE and FUT procedures at the clinic. Unlike surgery-only clinics, we always investigate and optimise your medical treatment first — transplanted hair still needs a healthy scalp environment to thrive. If surgery is right for you, your entire journey from diagnosis through to transplant stays with one doctor who knows your full history.
