Doctor-Led Medical Hair Loss Assessment
Hair Loss Clinic
Hair loss is common, often distressing, and can have multiple underlying causes. At Dr Sharon Delaney Aesthetic Medicine, we provide a structured medical assessment to identify contributing factors before recommending treatment.
Our approach focuses on accurate diagnosis, evidence-based treatment planning and long-term scalp health.
Conditions We Assess
We assess a range of hair loss conditions, including:
- Androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss)
- Telogen effluvium
- Post-partum hair shedding
- Menopause-related hair thinning
- Alopecia areata (assessment and onward referral if required)
- Hair loss associated with medical conditions or medications
Understanding the underlying cause is essential before treatment is recommended.
Treatment Duration & Downtime
Consultation: approximately 60 minutes
Procedural treatments vary depending on the intervention selected.
Patients may experience:

Hair growth cycles are gradual, and improvement is typically assessed over 3–6 months.
Number of Treatments
Regenerative treatments often require a course of approximately three sessions, usually spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
