How can hair thinning or hair loss be treated, at Nish Clinic?

We offer effective treatments for hair loss and hair thinning, here at Nish Clinic. Depending on your individual needs, we may suggest:

  • HydraFacial Keravive – a painless vortex deep cleansing system which intensely exfoliates and hydrates the scalp, encouraging new hair growth.
  • Medical microneedling – the SkinPen device creates micro-injuries in to the scalp, triggering the body’s natural healing response, increasing blood flow and collagen production, to help hair follicles produce thicker hair.
  • Dermalux Triwave – LED light therapy has a myriad of benefits to repair and restore skin and hair. This painless treatment improves blood flow to the scalp and nourish the hair follicles.
  • PRP – using your own platelet-rich-plasma, extracted from a blood sample and purified, PRP helps with the natural healing process, without the use of chemicals.
  • Exosomes – when injected into the scalp, exosomes communicate with stem cells, releasing growth factors which stimulate hair follicles.
