Its services allow for free access to life-saving medical care. Unfortunately, given its stretched resources, the healthcare service is <strong>unable to provide free treatment to those seeking hair transplants<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-do-you-need-to-see-your-gp-about-hair-loss\">Do You Need To See Your GP About Hair Loss?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, your GP should always be your first point of contact if you are concerned about hair loss. Your GP will be able to help determine the <a href=\"https:\/\/elithair.com\/uk\/blog\/hair-loss-stages\/\">cause of hair loss<\/a> by examining your hair. If necessary, they will also be able to run any necessary initial tests. You may also consider discussing with your GP how your hair loss is affecting your mental wellbeing, and exploring available treatment options that could help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-diagnosis\">Diagnosis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you can treat your hair loss, you must receive a diagnosis by a healthcare specialist. As there are many different types of hair loss, the appropriate course of treatment depends on diagnosis. Your GP can perform a number of tests to diagnose the underlying cause of your hair fall. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hair pull test<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scalp biopsy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blood test<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With these test results, you and your healthcare provider will be able to develop a treatment plan. The results will also determine if your hair loss is temporary or permanent. For example, if you are suffering from stress, the side effects of any medication, or a nutrient deficiency, it is likely that your hair loss is temporary and your GP will be able to help you address the underlying cause and treat your symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you have an <a href=\"https:\/\/elithair.com\/uk\/blog\/alopecia-causes-and-treatments\/\">alopecia<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/elithair.com\/uk\/blog\/causes-of-thinning-hair\/\">thinning hair<\/a>, your hair loss is likely to be a long-term issue which will require specialised treatment, such as a hair transplant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-non-surgical-treatments\">Non-surgical treatments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For a non-surgical approach, your GP can help by prescribing the topical medication <a href=\"https:\/\/elithair.com\/uk\/blog\/minoxidil-hair-loss\/\">Minoxidil<\/a>. It is worth noting that this medication must be paid for out of pocket, and can cause some undesirable physical and psychological side effects. Additionally, they are not guaranteed to aid in hair regrowth, only in slowing the rate of ongoing hair loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the patient&#8217;s condition, wigs can also be offered as an option. In cases such as patients undergoing chemotherapy, the NHS will provide funds towards purchasing a wig. However, in less extreme cases, the cost will fall to the patient themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hair loss can be distressing, and emotional support is key. Your GP can aid in a referral to a support group or counselling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mental-health-and-hair-loss\">Mental Health and Hair Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The toll on your mental health can further exacerbate your hair loss issues, so it\u2019s important to tackle this aspect of your treatment as well. It\u2019s not uncommon for hair loss to cause anxiety, depression, body dysmorphia, and stress disorders. Always seek professional help to overcome these mental health issues.<br><br>A study revealed that <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/16307704\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">62% of men with hair loss<\/a> agreed that it could affect self-esteem. Those men who pursued treatment and reported success, also reported psychosocial benefits as a result, with a 59% improvement in parameters of self-esteem and perception of personal attractiveness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-not-covered\">What\u2019s Not Covered?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"644\" src=\"https:\/\/elithair.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/elithair-hair-loss-clinic-hotel-room-1024x644.jpg\" alt=\"Hotel room at the Elithair hair loss clinic\" class=\"wp-image-83555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elithair.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/elithair-hair-loss-clinic-hotel-room-1024x644.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/elithair.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/elithair-hair-loss-clinic-hotel-room-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elithair.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/elithair-hair-loss-clinic-hotel-room-768x483.jpg 768w, https:\/\/elithair.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/elithair-hair-loss-clinic-hotel-room.jpg 1247w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nice.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)<\/a> assesses whether hair transplants are viable to be conducted by the NHS. They look at the demand for the service, potential effect on the patient, and whether resource and funding should be prioritised and delegated. In the case of hair loss, as it is usually considered a cosmetic condition rather than a life-saving need, treatments are not currently covered by the NHS.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the NHS won\u2019t cover hair transplants, or hair loss medications or treatments, they do cover other forms of support for those suffering from hair loss. For example, your diagnostic tests are covered by the NHS, as are any referrals for mental health services. <br><br>The good news is, there are affordable options for private hair transplants and treatment options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-benefits-of-a-private-hair-transplant\">What Are the Benefits of a Private Hair Transplant?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>There are a number of private options available, depending on the cause and severity of your hair loss. Whether you suffer from <a href=\"https:\/\/elithair.com\/uk\/blog\/traction-alopecia\/\">traction alopecia<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/elithair.com\/uk\/blog\/androgenetic-alopecia-our-guide\/\">androgenetic alopecia<\/a> or other hair-related issues, there are treatments available privately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is understanable that many patients find seeking private care daunting, as it is a big decision and there are many things to take into consideration. There are, however, a number of advantages to private treatment options, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Elimination of long wait times and prevention of delays on the day of your procedure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flexibility for your treatment based around your schedule.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Treatments that are tailor-made for you and your specific hair loss circumstances.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dedicated specialist resource and personal care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, by seeking a hair transplant outside of the UK, you can find high-quality treatment at a more affordable price. Our prices are determined based on your individual case, and our all-inclusive offers cover everything from your accommodation to your airport transfers and aftercare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To better understand how the process works, including costs, preparation, and recovery when travelling abroad for surgery, read our comprehensive <a href=\"https:\/\/elithair.com\/uk\/hair-transplant-turkey-guide\/\">guide to hair transplants in Turkey<\/a>. It provides everything you need to know about getting a safe, high-quality, and affordable hair transplant in Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-transgender-hair-transplants\">Transgender Hair Transplants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Presently, the NHS does not cover hair transplants as gender affirming care for transgender patients. While <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/ced\/article\/48\/10\/1117\/7197278\">hormone replacement therapy<\/a> (HRT) can help a great deal in reversing receding hairlines, or in overall hair and beard growth, some patients may wish to undergo a hair transplant as part of their transition. At Elithair, we can provide guidance on both surgical and non-surgical options for transgender patients.
