Female Hair Loss Specialist in Edinburgh

When many people think of hair loss, they associate it with male pattern baldness. But losing your hair is not something that just affects men. Millions of women are affected by hair loss in the UK. If you’re going through it yourself, you aren’t alone.

We’re female hair loss specialists based in Edinburgh. We support women with solutions designed not only to conceal hair loss, but to address its emotional impact too.

 

"I will forever be thankful to Lucinda Ellery herself for creating such a wonderful solution for ladies of all ages, and all the team that work so hard at making our dreams come true."

Feeling Isolated Due to Hair Loss?

Hair loss can feel extremely isolating for women. Hair loss being so frequently associated with men can leave women feeling ashamed, isolated or reluctant to talk about what they’re experiencing.

That might mean that when you start losing your hair, you don’t talk about it. You try to hide it with a strategic parting or even make-up, or get a wig or a topper as you lose more hair. You avoid going to the salon, you stop doing sports that you love. You might even avoid holidays, worried about swimming or wearing a wig in hot weather.

Hair loss shouldn’t mean missing out on the things that you love. But for many women, that’s exactly what happens.

 

When Hair Loss Solutions Fall Short

While wigs and toppers disguise hair loss, they can be impractical and uncomfortable. But many options for women aren’t ideal either. Hair transplants often aren’t suitable for women, particularly when hair loss is diffuse rather than concentrated in specific areas. Medication can help, but it doesn’t always work - especially long-term.

The fact that many of the most common hair loss options are better suited to men, while conversations around hair loss often focus on men too, can make losing your hair even more difficult for women.

 

 

A Solution Designed for Women

Unlike other hair loss specialists, we work with women only. Our solutions are tailored specifically for women’s hair loss, and are designed to address the emotional ramifications experienced by women. You are our focus - you’re not an afterthought.

Our flagship solution is the Intralace, a pioneering hair replacement designed to look and feel exactly like your natural hair. Unlike a wig, you don’t need to remove the Intralace for anything - not to sleep, not to shower, not for any activity. You can wash it and style it as though it were your real hair.

You can run, dance, and play sports without ever worrying about it coming loose, because it’s integrated with your natural hair on an ultra-fine, breathable mesh - that also means it’s comfortable, lightweight, and designed to be gentle on your remaining hair. For that reason, the Intralace is suitable for both temporary and permanent hair loss conditions.

 

Our Specialist Salon in Edinburgh

One of the best things about the Intralace is that it’s treated like your real hair would be - it gives you back the mundane moments you probably took for granted before, like washing your hair after a tough day, or catching up with your regular stylist at the salon.

The Intralace is mostly maintained by you at home, as you brush and wash it like you would normally. You’ll then have regular maintenance appointments at our Edinburgh salon. Unlike a hair loss clinic, which can feel cold and impersonal, our studio is designed to properly emulate the salon experience. It’s a warm, welcoming space with luxurious decor and amenities for you to enjoy, but the best part is absolutely our people.

The female hair loss specialists who work in our studio are empathetic, experienced and extremely knowledgeable about hair loss. They’ve worked with thousands of women like you who have lost their hair for all kinds of reasons - be it female pattern hair loss, trichotillomania, or lichen planopilaris. There’s never any judgement - just understanding, and the desire to help you feel like yourself again.

Take the first step today. Arrange a free, no obligation consultation with our specialists, and see what solution would be right for you.

 

Introducing our expert staff

Frequently asked questions

What Causes Female Hair Loss and How Can I Treat It?

Female hair loss can have many possible causes, so it is important to speak with your GP or a suitable specialist to understand what may be contributing to it. At Lucinda Ellery Edinburgh, we offer a free consultation to discuss your concerns and explore non-surgical cosmetic options for creating the appearance of fuller hair.

Should I See a Dermatologist or Trichologist for Hair Loss?

A dermatologist can investigate medical conditions affecting the skin, hair and scalp, while a trichologist specialises specifically in hair and scalp concerns. If you are looking for a non-surgical cosmetic solution, our experienced Edinburgh team can offer a free consultation and discuss the options available to you.

How Much Does Hair Loss Treatment Cost in Edinburgh?

The cost can vary depending on the type of solution, hair length and your individual requirements. At Lucinda Ellery Edinburgh, we offer a free consultation where we can understand what you are looking for and explain the suitable options and costs clearly.

Can Hair Loss Be Reversed in Women?

Whether hair loss can be reversed depends on its underlying cause, so getting professional advice is important. If you are looking for a cosmetic solution while managing your hair loss, our Edinburgh team offers non-surgical hair systems designed to give the appearance of natural, fuller hair.

What's the Difference Between Hair Thinning and Hair Loss?

Hair thinning generally means the hair is becoming less dense, whereas hair loss can refer to a more noticeable reduction or loss of hair. If you are concerned about changes to your hair, our Edinburgh team offers a free consultation in a comfortable and friendly environment to discuss non-surgical options.

 

Hair systems and services available at Edinburgh

As you would expect, the full range of our hair loss techniques are available at the Edinburgh salon, and all our staff are fully trained and experienced in their application.

Initial consultations can be either in-person or via video call, and these are always free. If you decide to go ahead then we'll give you a more detailed assessment and decide, with your informed agreement, which technique is most suitable for your particular hair condition. The main options are the following:

• Medi-connections - ultra-light extensions designed to provide volume without stressing the existing hair
• The Intralace Minima - for milder cases and particularly for the front hair line, centre parting, and crown area
• The Intralace System - for more extensive hair loss. May also include the Intralace Parting and Side Panels
• The Intralace Freewear System - for cases of total hair loss

All hair systems are designed and built from scratch to match your individual case - we never use off-the-peg options which might not suit your particular condition.

 

Facilities available in the studio

Some of our procedures can take a few hours to complete so we have a number of on-site options to help you relax and pass the time comfortably, including Wi-fi, tea and coffee, a snack basket and a lunch delivery service.
