Managing Female Hair Loss

The Lucinda Ellery consultancy recognises the profound psychological and emotional impact of hair loss on a woman’s confidence. We offer two management techniques for partial hair loss depending on the amount of loss being experienced. Medi Connections™ are especially suitable for thinning hair and less severe cases of Alopecia Areata or Female Pattern Hair Loss, while
The Intralace System™ is suitable for covering larger areas of loss and can also be a useful technique in treating Trichotillomania. For complete hair loss (Alopecia Totalis) we recommend the Farrell Technique.

The Intralace System™

This pioneering hair replacement prosthesis, is constructed from a breathable mesh and is integrated into existing hair without the need to cut or shave natural hair. The first stage is to gently introduce the Intralace System™ mesh between the existing hair and the scalp. Intralace Panels™, which consist of ultra-fine mesh containing additional human hair, are then added to completely disguise any hair loss.

This technique enables women to participate in normal everyday activities and sports, even swimming! This system is not a cure for hair loss or Trichotillomania but completely disguises the areas of hair loss. This individual bespoke system allows the freedom to wash, brush and style your new hair in a completely normal way and enables you to continue a full and active life with renewed confidence. The hair is also able to continue growing under the Intralace System™, so if hair growth resumes the system may be removed.

Medi Connections™

An ultra fine version of traditional hair extensions, Medi Connections™ can be fitted to areas of thinning hair where additional coverage is required but where hair loss is not severe enough to merit the use of the Intralace System™. Weighing less than traditional hair extensions, their specific targeted placement is essential to gain maximum benefit from this technique. For this option, a small test patch is required in some cases before proceeding to asses the stability and suitability of the existing hair. Establishing the compatibility of your hair to our hair loss management techniques is paramount before proceeding with any of our hair loss systems. Medi Connections™ boost volume whilst allowing natural regrowth and normal washing, tinting and styling.
