Noticing more hair on the brush?
Real medical answers in Urmston.
More strands in the shower, a wider parting, a ponytail that feels thinner than it used to. If you’ve started noticing it, you’re in the right place. A 30–45 minute medical consultation in my Urmston clinic, led by a fully qualified GP — we look for the cause first, then build a plan. Clarity not pressure, honest advice.
If this sounds familiar
“It’s not falling out in clumps. It’s just… less. And I can see it.”
Patients across Trafford and the Urmston area regularly describe the same quiet worry: the hair isn’t dramatically gone, it’s gradually thinner — and they’ve been told it’s “just stress” or “just your age” without anyone actually looking into it. Shedding has many possible drivers, and several often overlap. The encouraging part is that a lot of thinning responds well once the right cause is identified and addressed properly — rather than chasing another shampoo or supplement on guesswork.
What's actually going on
Thinning hair is a symptom — not the diagnosis.
Hair growth runs in cycles, and a surprising amount of the scalp is resting or shedding at any given time. The problem is rarely the hair itself — it’s whatever has pushed more of it into the shedding phase, or weakened the follicle so regrowth comes back finer.
There are usually two or three things contributing at once: hormonal change — particularly the perimenopausal and menopausal years — can shift the growth cycle noticeably; telogen effluvium, a diffuse shed triggered by a stressor weeks or months earlier (illness, a major life event, a crash in nutrition, or rapid weight loss including on GLP‑1 medication such as Mounjaro); nutritional and medical factors like low ferritin, thyroid imbalance, or low vitamin D; and a genetic pattern (androgenetic) component that the others can unmask earlier than expected. In men, androgenetic hair thinning is an extremely common concern in its own right — often beginning gradually with temple recession, crown thinning, a widening parting, or reduced overall hair density.
This is why one product or one injectable rarely fixes it on its own. The real answer starts with finding which of those factors is driving your shedding — and treating that, alongside supporting the follicles, rather than treating the scalp generically.
“Patients often arrive asking for exosomes by name. Sometimes that’s exactly right. Just as often the bloods tell a different story — low ferritin, an under-active thyroid, a shed that followed weight-loss medication — and the plan has to address that too, or the regrowth won’t hold. The job of the consultation is to find out which.”
Treatments available
What may help — once the cause is clear.
Hair thinning is rarely solved by a single treatment. Most plans combine a regenerative approach to support the follicles with whatever medical factor the assessment uncovers, sequenced over months. Final selection happens in the consultation, where the dominant driver is identified.
i.
Regenerative exosome therapy (Purasomes HSC50+)
A next-generation regenerative treatment using purified exosomes rich in growth-signalling factors, delivered into the scalp to support the follicular environment and encourage stronger, healthier regrowth. Particularly considered where shedding has thinned the hair diffusely and the follicles are still viable.

ii.
Scalp microneedling with actives
Controlled micro-channelling of the scalp stimulates the follicle’s own repair signalling and improves delivery of regenerative actives applied alongside it. Frequently paired with exosomes or polynucleotides over a course, rather than used on its own.

iii.
Polynucleotides & injectable hair support
Polynucleotide and amino-acid–based injectable treatments support the scalp environment, improving the quality and resilience of the regrowth. Often sequenced with the regenerative treatments above as part of a multi-session plan tailored to how your hair responds.

iv.
Medical work-up & holistic guidance
The part most people skip — and the part that decides whether anything else holds. A GP-led review of the likely drivers: bloods where indicated (ferritin, thyroid, vitamin D and others), a look at hormonal stage, recent weight loss or GLP‑1 medication, stress and nutrition, with supplementation and lifestyle guidance where it’s appropriate. Sometimes the honest answer is that a treatment course isn’t the right next step yet — and you’ll be told that plainly.
A documented, GP-led clinical case — perimenopausal thinning with a weight-loss–related (GLP‑1 / Mounjaro) shed, managed with regenerative exosome therapy and microneedling alongside a full medical work-up — is being prepared as a written case report with before-and-after documentation and the patient’s own account. Full write-up in preparation.
