After experiencing a shocking amount of hair loss from alopecia, Nicola says her UK hair loss treatments at Este Medical have been life-changing! When Nicola came to Este UK, she had severe alopecia shedding across the crown and back of her head.
To help other women with alopecia, Nicola shares her extreme hair loss journey — from how it started to how it ended with a successful outcome thanks to Este Medical in the UK.
Nicola Shares Her Stressful Female Hair Loss Experience From Alopecia
“It all started one day when I noticed hair missing from the nape of my neck. At first I tried not to stress about it because I was worried it would make my hair fall out more. Then in December of last year the alopecia flared up again and about 60% of my hair fell out. My hair was shedding every day. In the shower, hair was falling out,” says Nicola.
Let’s take a moment to identify the typical female signs of alopecia, as they will be helpful to know before we continue with Nicola’s hair restoration journey.
Top 5 Female Characteristics of Alopecia & Hair Loss
- Thinning Hair on the Scalp: The most common initial sign is diffuse thinning of hair, especially on the top of the head. Women often notice a wider part line or a reduction in overall hair volume.
- Patchy Hair Loss and Excessive Shedding: Some women experience alopecia areata, which presents as sudden, round, smooth patches of hair loss on the scalp or other areas of the body. A common trigger or indicator of this condition is extreme hair shedding, particularly noticeable when large amounts of hair are lost during showering or brushing.
- Hair Loss on the Crown: Female pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) typically causes thinning and hair loss on the crown, while the hairline usually remains intact.
- Bald Spots and Women: Noticeable bald spots can appear on the scalp. These spots may gradually merge together, leading to more significant areas of hair loss.
- Hair Shaft Changes: Hair may become finer, shorter, and more brittle over time. This change in hair texture is often accompanied by increased hair shedding during brushing or hair washing.
When it comes to sudden hair loss, it is recommended that you seek professional help right away. The sooner you address your hair loss, the sooner you can experience hair regrowth results from treatments and lifestyle changes.
At Este Medical, we offer free hair loss consultations, which are the most effective way to diagnose alopecia as the root cause of hair loss, and to learn more about available non-surgical and surgical hair restoration treatments.
Nicole Reveals How Hair Loss Affected Her Confidence
“My hair loss really affected my self-esteem. I stopped socialising. I didn’t book any holidays because I felt so self-conscious,” reveals Nicola.
It is not uncommon to feel low and depressed when faced with any level of hair loss. It is difficult for both men and women at any age to suddenly look in the mirror and see bald spots and exposed scalp. For most individuals, it is a stressful and demoralising experience.

What Happened When Nicola Discovered Este Medical?
“At this point I was desperate, so I looked online for solutions because I thought all my hair was going to fall out. I saw that Este Medical Group had a really good review, so I started a 6-month alopecia treatment plan which included laser regrowth therapy twice a week and PRF hair therapy every four weeks. I’m impressed with the results of my hair regrowth. To be honest, I didn’t think it would work, but it has worked! I’m really happy. I would advise anyone, especially if you are female and feeling really self-conscious and low in your mood, then come to Este Medical. It was life-changing for me; I’ve already booked two holidays, I’m meeting up with friends again, going to the gym — I feel like I’m myself again,” says Este client Nicola.
For Nicola’s alopecia treatment, it was recommended she combine laser hair treatments with PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) hair therapy. This is a proven and highly successful non-surgical approach to combating alopecia hair loss and promoting regrowth. PRP hair injections are another option, along with scalp derma rolling, minoxidil, and Este Medical Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo between in-clinic hair therapy treatments.
Each Este Medical hair loss client will have a customised hair regrowth treatment plan and unique timeline based on their age, health, type of hair loss, and grooming goals. The best way to determine which treatments you need is by having an Este consultation. Book one today online!
