Alopecia Areata Hair Regrowth Case Study at Hove Hair Clinic

Client: Leasa

Treatment: Personalised hair and scalp treatment programme with Mediceuticals home care

Duration: 3 months (weekly treatment sessions)

After sudden patchy hair loss, Leasa came to Hove Hair Clinic to seek advice and treatment.

About the Client

After experiencing sudden patchy hair loss following a severe scalp infection while on holiday, Leasa came to Hove Hair Clinic feeling distressed, overwhelmed and unsure whether her hair would ever grow back.

Through a carefully structured programme of professional hair loss treatment, targeted scalp health support and consistent home care, Leasa achieved full regrowth within the affected area - alongside a huge boost in confidence and emotional wellbeing.

Before Treatment

The Challenge

Understanding the Cause of Leasa’s Hair Loss

Leasa first noticed a patch of hair thinning and hair loss after developing a virus while abroad. The infection caused significant swelling on the scalp and required hospital treatment and drainage.

Although the infection eventually settled, the area was left inflamed, sensitive and visibly bald. She was later told that the inflammation may have permanently damaged the hair follicles and that regrowth was unlikely.

Naturally, this left Leasa feeling frightened and uncertain about what to do next, prompting her to seek professional advice from Hove Hair Clinic.

Diagnosing Alopecia Areata Triggered by Scalp Inflammation

At her consultation, we identified signs consistent with alopecia areata triggered by inflammation and trauma following infection.

Although the scalp had been through significant stress, close examination showed encouraging signs that the follicles were still active beneath the surface — meaning hair regrowth could still be possible with the right scalp care and hair restoration approach.

The Treatment

Our Main Treatment Goals

  • Reduce inflammation and irritation
  • Restore overall scalp health
  • Re-stimulate affected hair follicles
  • Support healthy hair regrowth
  • Provide emotional reassurance throughout recovery

Personalised Hair and Scalp Treatment Plan

A bespoke three-month treatment programme was created to calm inflammation, strengthen scalp health and encourage healthy hair regrowth.

Leasa’s Treatment Included

Consistency played an important role in Leasa’s results. She attended weekly appointments and followed her prescribed home-care routine carefully throughout the programme.

Results & Benefits

Hair Regrowth Results After Three Months

Over the course of treatment, the inflammation reduced significantly and the scalp returned to a healthier, balanced condition.

As the scalp recovered, new hair growth became visible within the affected patch — confirming that the follicles had successfully re-entered the active growth phase.

Results Achieved

  • Visible hair regrowth within the affected area
  • Improved scalp health and reduced inflammation
  • Resolution of scalp sensitivity and irritation
  • Increased confidence and emotional wellbeing
  • Natural blending of regrown hair with surrounding hair

After Treatment

What our Client says...

“I visited Hove Hair Clinic following a patch of my hair falling out after a head spot got infected. I was distraught and desperate. The beautiful people that worked there treated me like family with such love, compassion and kindness. I visited regularly for three months, and my hair grew back along with my confidence. I am so grateful and can’t recommend them enough.”

A word from Sarah...

“Leasa’s case is a powerful reminder that even when people are told nothing can be done, the scalp often still has the ability to recover when supported correctly. Seeing both her hair and confidence return has been incredibly rewarding.”
