Understanding and Treating Alopecia: Restoring Confidence, One Strand at a Time

At Indigo Clinic, we know that hair loss is more than a cosmetic issue—it can deeply impact your confidence, identity, and quality of life. One of the most common causes of progressive hair thinning in both men and women is Androgenic Alopecia, also known as male or female pattern hair loss.

This blog will help you understand what’s happening, why it’s happening, and how our clinically-backed treatments can support your hair restoration journey.

What Is Androgenic Alopecia?

Androgenic Alopecia is a genetically driven form of hair loss that affects up to 50% of men and women during their lifetime. It’s primarily caused by Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a male hormone that leads to gradual shrinkage of hair follicles.

In men, this usually presents as a receding hairline or thinning at the crown.
In women, it often shows up as diffuse thinning across the top of the scalp, with the frontal hairline typically remaining intact.

Common Symptoms of Androgenic Alopecia:

  • Thinning hair on the top of the head
  • Receding hairline (mainly in men)
  • Widening part and reduced volume (common in women)
  • Increased hair shedding
  • Growth of finer, miniaturised hairs over time

The earlier it’s diagnosed and treated, the better the outcome.

What Causes It?

While genetics play a central role, other contributing factors include:

  • Hormonal imbalances (particularly DHT sensitivity)
  • Ageing
  • Nutritional deficiencies (Biotin, Iron, Vitamin B12)
  • Stress, inflammation, and poor scalp circulation
  • Environmental or lifestyle factors

Hair Loss Treatments at Indigo Clinic

We provide a multifaceted, evidence-led approach to treating Androgenic Alopecia. Our goal is not only to slow or reverse hair loss, but to strengthen and revive your scalp’s natural hair-growing abilities.

1. Biotin Injections

Biotin (Vitamin B7) supports keratin production, strengthens weak strands, and reduces breakage. Our biotin injections ensure full absorption—ideal for clients with low dietary intake or absorption issues.

✔ Supports faster growth
✔ Improves hair strength and resilience
✔ Reduces excessive shedding

Bonus: Biotin also improves nail strength and skin health.

2. Vitamin B12 Injections

Low B12 levels can contribute to poor scalp oxygenation, leading to weaker follicles and thinning hair. Our B12 injections help boost energy and revitalise the scalp.

✔ Increases red blood cell production
✔ Improves nutrient flow to hair follicles
✔ Ideal for vegans or those with absorption issues

3. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

One of the most effective treatments for Androgenic Alopecia, PRP uses your body’s own growth factors to stimulate dormant follicles.

✔ Encourages natural regrowth
✔ Boosts thickness of existing hair
✔ Activates healing and regeneration using your own blood plasma

4. Microneedling with Exosomes

We combine microneedling (to trigger scalp repair) with exosomes—messenger cells rich in growth signals—to accelerate results.

✔ Enhances cell communication
✔ Stimulates follicle renewal
✔ Promotes new hair growth and scalp health
