A Smarter, Clinical Approach at The Face & Body Clinic
Hair loss and excessive shedding are no longer niche concerns — in 2026, they’re one of the most common reasons clients seek professional advice. At The Face & Body Clinic, we’ve been working with hair restoration therapies since 2020, when we saw a significant surge in post-COVID hair shedding and stress-related hair loss. Since then, scalp and hair health has remained a core focus of our clinic.
Today, we continue to see rising demand driven by lifestyle, hormonal, medical, and genetic factors — and the way we assess and treat hair loss has evolved dramatically.
Why Hair Loss Is Increasing
Hair shedding and thinning rarely have a single cause. In most cases, it’s multifactorial.
Some of the most common contributors we see include:
- Genetics: Androgenetic alopecia remains one of the leading causes of progressive thinning in both men and women.
- Menopause & hormonal shifts: Declining oestrogen levels can impact hair density, follicle health, and the growth cycle.
- Weight loss: Rapid or significant weight loss can place stress on the body, triggering telogen effluvium.
- Surgery or illness: Physical stress, anaesthesia, and recovery can disrupt normal hair growth phases.
- GLP-1 medications: Medications used for weight management may indirectly contribute to shedding due to rapid metabolic changes, nutritional shifts, or physiological stress.
Understanding why hair loss is occurring is critical — and this is where modern diagnostics make a meaningful difference.
Smarter Scalp Assessment with My SkinIQ™
At The Face & Body Clinic, we use My SkinIQ™, our advanced AI-powered skin and scalp analysis system, to take the guesswork out of hair loss assessment.
Rather than relying solely on visual inspection, My SkinIQ allows us to analyse the scalp in detail, including:
- Oil flow and sebum balance
- Follicle size and visibility
- Hair density and distribution
- Scalp congestion and inflammation
- Overall follicle health
This data-driven approach enables us to identify whether hair loss is related to hormonal changes, inflammation, reduced follicle activity, or an impaired scalp environment. It also allows us to track progress over time, ensuring treatment outcomes are measurable and personalised.
Targeted Treatment with CALECIM® Professional
Once the scalp and follicle environment is clearly understood, we create a tailored treatment plan. A key component of our hair restoration approach is CALECIM® Professional, a regenerative therapy derived from ethically sourced umbilical cord lining stem cell secretome.
CALECIM works by supporting scalp and follicle function at a cellular level, helping to:
- Stimulate weakened or dormant follicles
- Improve scalp health and circulation
- Support the hair growth cycle
- Reduce shedding and encourage stronger regrowth
When paired with precise scalp diagnostics, CALECIM treatments are significantly more effective — because treatment is guided by data, not assumptions.
A Personalised, Long-Term Approach
Hair restoration is not about quick fixes. It’s about understanding the scalp, supporting follicle health, and creating a plan that evolves with your body and lifestyle.
With over five years of hands-on experience in hair restoration therapies, and the integration of advanced diagnostic technology, The Face & Body Clinic offers a smarter, more personalised approach to hair loss in 2026.
If you’re noticing changes in your hair or scalp, we invite you to book a consultation and discover what’s really happening beneath the surface.
