What makes us different
We're not a hair transplant clinic. We're consultant dermatologists who specialise in diagnosing and treating the underlying causes of hair loss — many of which respond very well to medical therapy when caught early.
We use the Tricholab Hair Studio — a precise hair photography and density assessment system — to monitor your hair over time and measure treatment response objectively. We're one of the few UK clinics offering this level of monitoring.
Dr Paul Farrant and Dr Pallavi Gupta run a regional hair loss department serving patients across Sussex, Kent, and Surrey. Dr Farrant founded the British Hair and Nail Society and has specialised in dermatology since 2002. Between them, our consultants have over 36 years of combined experience in hair and scalp conditions and treatment.
Please note about insurance
Hair loss consultations are not covered by private medical insurance and are charged on a self-pay basis. You may be able to claim some costs back from your insurer, depending on your policy.
