Expert hair loss care, backed by world-class diagnostics
Consultant-led diagnosis, advanced scalp imaging,
Advanced hair and scalp diagnostics
We're experts in diagnosing and treating a wide range of hair and scalp conditions. Whether you're dealing with alopecia, seeking solutions for hair loss, or need assistance with scarring, you can trust our expertise and dedication to deliver outstanding results.
We understand that hair and scalp issues can be private and personal. We strive to provide you with the highest standard of care during your time with us, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process.
Hair loss is far easier to treat when it is diagnosed precisely, which is why every hair consultation at our Sussex clinics is led by consultant dermatologists with a specialist interest in hair and scalp disease. We diagnose and treat the full range of conditions, from male and female pattern hair loss and hair shedding to alopecia areata and scarring alopecias such as frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris. Diagnosis is supported by video-trichoscopy, TrichoLab density analysis and, where needed, scalp biopsy. Treatment options span prescription medication, steroid injections, PRP and TricoPat, tailored to your diagnosis and monitored objectively so you can see whether your treatment is working.

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.
