At The Day Clinic, we understand how distressing hair loss can be—whether it’s sudden, gradual, or hereditary. Our experienced private GPs offer expert assessment, personalised treatment plans, and sensitive support to help you manage and understand the causes of your hair loss.
What is Hair Loss?
Hair loss can appear in many forms, from gradual thinning to sudden shedding. It affects people differently and may be short-term or long-lasting, depending on the cause.
Causes & Treatment Of Hair Loss
There are many possible causes of hair loss, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, medical conditions, nutritional deficiencies, or medication side effects. Our clinicians take the time to investigate the likely cause of your hair loss so we can recommend appropriate next steps.
Our GPs will discuss your symptoms, carry out an assessment, and where appropriate, organise blood tests or further investigations. Depending on the cause, treatment options may include topical or oral medications, hormone treatments, dietary advice, or a referral to a specialist dermatologist or trichologist.
If you’re worried about hair loss or noticing changes in your hair, our experienced GPs are here to help. Book your consultation online or call our friendly team today.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Your doctor will take a detailed history and examine your scalp to assess the extent and pattern of hair loss. They will talk you through possible causes, recommend any necessary tests, and outline a tailored treatment or management plan. Follow-up appointments can be arranged as needed.
We provide GP-led hair loss care with discretion, empathy, and clinical expertise. Our private appointments are easy to book, with minimal wait times, and our central Cambridge clinic offers a calm, confidential environment to discuss your concerns and receive tailored support.

What our clients think
Lovely experience . Dr abood was very kind and reassured me well before the procedure
The Day Clinic staff and Dr Abood were exceptional. Greeted with a smile, offered a drink while I waited for my appointment, on time and procedures explained with detail, super friendly. I went ahead on the day, having two moles removed. Aftercare explained and off I went. I wish I had it done sooner. Highly recommend
Thanks Dr Abood!
Plenty of parking and easy to find.

Dr Abood and his team were recommended to me for his seamless minimal scaring small operations. I had a small op to remove a lump in a visible area. The operation was very seamless, quick and low fuss. Free parking, easy to find, and the team were extremely friendly and attentive. They made a real effort to squeeze me in in a short time frame which I really appreciated, and sent me away with an after care plan. The actual wound was extremely tidy and I felt the operation was extremely thorough and professional. I had an appointment to view and operate on the same day but I also know that if I had wanted to postpone the operation to have time to process what he had told me, they would have done so, and made every effort to make me comfortable moving forward.
Although I'm still to see the final healed result I would thoroughly recommend the day Clinic for small ops like mine.

No problems, would recommend. Operation was quick and painless. Recovery is not too sore.
So terrific to be seen and treated quickly. I had 100% confidence in Dr Abood, both in terms of his professionalism and his communications to me as a patient.
lovely clean professional treatment, care and information easy to understand and looked after very well
Very pleased with my experience at The Day Clinic. The staff are all exceptionally kind and helpful, and the surgery went smoothly.
Hair Loss Treatment Frequently Asked Questions
What types of hair loss do you treat?
We treat all forms of non-emergency hair loss, including male and female pattern baldness, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, and thinning due to hormonal or nutritional causes.
Do I need a referral to see a GP about hair loss?
No referral is necessary. You can book a private GP consultation directly through our website by submitting our form or by contacting our team.
Can hair loss be reversed?
It depends on the underlying cause. In many cases, especially when addressed early, treatment can slow or reverse hair loss. Your GP will explain your options during your consultation.
Will I need blood tests?
If your doctor suspects an underlying medical cause—such as thyroid imbalance or iron deficiency—they may recommend blood tests to confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment.
Are there medications available for hair loss?
Yes. Depending on the type of hair loss, medications such as minoxidil or finasteride may be appropriate. Your GP will discuss the risks, benefits, and suitability of each option.
Can stress really cause hair loss?
Yes, high levels of stress can disrupt the hair growth cycle and lead to temporary hair loss. Your GP can advise on how to manage this and support healthy regrowth.
How long until I see results from treatment?
Hair growth is a gradual process. Visible results may take a few months, depending on the treatment. We offer follow-up appointments to review your progress.
Is hair loss treatment suitable for women?
Absolutely. We treat both men and women and tailor the treatment approach to your specific needs, hormone profile, and overall health.
Can you help with thinning rather than bald patches?
Yes. Diffuse thinning is common and often treatable once the cause is identified. Our GPs will work with you to explore your options.
What if I need to see a specialist?
If specialist input is required, we can refer you to a trusted dermatologist or trichologist with expertise in complex or persistent hair loss.
