Our experience with hair restoration

Hair loss (or alopecia) is a common condition that can affect people of all genders, often leading to progressive thinning or shedding of hair. Influenced by genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors, it can be challenging to manage without the right guidance. Fortunately, modern hair restoration treatments may help support hair density.

At Ascension, we take a personalised approach to every treatment plan, tailoring solutions to each individual’s unique needs. All treatments are carried out under the supervision of a doctor.

“The first and most important step is an accurate diagnosis. Once we identify the underlying cause of hair loss, we can develop a treatment plan that is both effective and personalised. With today’s advanced, non-invasive options, treatment may help support hair density, with results that vary between individuals.” – Dr. Scott Allison.

Areas of concern /

MALE PATTERN HAIR LOSS

Male pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia, is a hereditary condition causing hair thinning and a receding hairline. Triggered by sensitivity to DHT, follicles shrink over time, producing finer hair until growth stops, often resulting in a predictable balding pattern.

CROWN

Thinning hair at the crown can lead to a noticeable bald spot, often exacerbated by genetic factors or ageing. Treatment options for this concern are discussed during your consultation.

TEMPLES

Hair loss at the temples can lead to a noticeable receding hairline, creating an uneven appearance that becomes accentuated over time. Treatment options for this concern are discussed during your consultation.

FRONT HAIRLINE

Hair loss at the front hairline often occurs due to genetic factors, hormonal changes, or ageing, leading to a gradual thinning and receding of hair. Treatment options for this concern are discussed during your consultation.

Recommended Treatments for Hair Loss

Hair Regeneration Treatment with Factor 4

Factor 4 is a treatment that uses growth factors concentrated from a sample of your own blood. Whether it is suitable for you is discussed during your consultation, and individual results vary. Factor 4 may be used to:

Strengthen and stimulate dormant hair follicles
Slow the progression of thinning and shedding
Improve scalp condition and support long-term growth
E• Work alongside other hair restoration treatments

Whether Factor 4 is suitable for you, and what it can and cannot do, is discussed during your consultation.

What to Expect for Your Results

The timeline for visible results from hair restoration treatments can vary depending on the individual and the treatment approach. Most patients begin to notice early improvements within 2 to 4 weeks, such as reduced shedding or subtle changes in hair density. However, further changes can take up to 12 to 24 months, as the hair follicles gradually regenerate and strengthen.

Some individuals may require multiple treatment sessions depending on the individual. During your consultation, we’ll design a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs, including a clear outline of the expected timeline and number of sessions recommended.

Suitable candidates for the treatment

Hair restoration treatments at Ascension are suitable for individuals of any gender experiencing mild to moderate hair thinning or localised hair loss. Suitable candidates are those seeking non-surgical options and are in good overall health. During your consultation with a doctor, we’ll assess your medical history, scalp condition, and any potential contraindications—such as allergies or underlying health concerns—to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

We also look for candidates who have realistic expectations and are committed to following their personalised treatment plan and any recommended aftercare. This supports your treatment plan and helps reduce the risk of side effects.
