Treatment for Hair Loss
Dr David Fenton has run a national specialist clinical service at St Thomas’ Hospital, London, for hair, scalp and nail conditions for the past thirty years. This year, the adult clinical service has moved to Guy’s Hospital, London, but the new national dedicated paediatric hair service remains at St Thomas’ Hospital. His work in hair and scalp disease began as a research interest when he carried out the initial trials in the UK of the hair re-growth solution Minoxidil.
Hair loss treatments
Each treatment is tailored to the individual patient and correctly identifying the underlying problem is often the most important part of the treatment. After performing a thorough physical scalp examination, taking hair and scalp samples and extensive blood pathology and perhaps other necessary investigations, Dr Fenton will prescribe a detailed treatment plan based on his many years’ experience in effectively and successfully treating hair loss patients.
