Wimpole Clinic Hair Loss Products

Hair loss products available from our range

If you’re experiencing hair loss, you may feel anxious about the effects and be keen to prevent any further deterioration. Getting checked out by a doctor to rule out any underlying cause should always be your first stop because if there’s something triggering your hair loss, any treatment is unlikely to have much effect. Reducing levels of stress and anxiety are also very important as these can contribute very significantly to hair loss. Getting a good night’s sleep, eating a healthy diet and exercising can all help stimulate healthy hair growth. But in addition to all of this, we also offer a range of excellent hair care products which are specifically designed to treat and improve hair loss in a variety of ways.
