HRT is good for skin and hair? See more

HRT is an effective treatment to help women through menopause. But often, patients who come to me are not informed about the potential negative side effects for hair and skin. With HRT, the progesterones and testosterone, can speed up the natural age/hormonal-related hair thinning and cause difficult-to-treat facial pigmentation or melasma. If this is something you are concerned about, don't hesitate to get in touch with the clinic today. #HRT #HormoneReplacementTherapy #HairThinning #HairLoss #Melasma #SideEffects #DrOphelia #HairCare #Progesterone #Testosterone

Is shampoo the secret to healthy hair? See more

Shampoos and conditioners can often be mis-marketed as being able to help with hair loss and hair growth. If you are dealing with hair loss, it is so important to see a consultant dermatologist who can provide treatment options that actually work.

A bad diet causes acne? See more

There is a lot information online about there being a clear link between acne and diet. While there is some evidence that certain foods containing processed sugars and dairy can trigger acne flares, there is a higher link between genetics, hormone and environmental factors. It is best to seek advice from your doctor and dermatologist before cutting lots of food out of your diet.

Thermage FLX See more

One of my favourite treatments in clinics in Thermage FLX Thermage FLX is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment using radiofrequency therapy that can smooth, tighten and contour skin for an overall younger-looking appearance on the face and body. Collagen declines in our skin as we get older, leading to fine lines and wrinkles. Thermage FLX uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin that contain collagen. The energy from this heat causes old collagen to contract and encourages new collagen to develop. This helps give the skin a smoother and tighter appearance after just one treatment, that will continue to improve over time. If you're interested in finding out more about Thermage FLX, please head over to my website and book in a consultation: https://drophelia.com/pages/book-an-appointment #thermage_flx #thermage #skintightening #antiageingskincare #antiaging #antiageingtreatment

Biotin is good for hair? See more

Good levels of known vitamins and minerals are needed to help support the health and growth of the hair follicle. Such vitamins and minerals include iron, vitamin C, zinc, vitamin B12, folate and vitamin D. There is pretty solid scientific and clinical evidence behind this list. It is also important how this combination of vitamins is taken and why a ‘hair multivitamins’ single daily tablet concept is flawed. No hair dermatologist would recommend this to their hair loss patients. Iron and zinc are probably the most vital nutrients for hair and when taken together they don’t get absorbed. They must be taken at separate times if adequate absorption is to be achieved. This is why in my hair vitamins I have separate daily morning and evening doses. Many beauty brands market biotin as an important hair growth ingredient, which is quite misleading. Firstly there is no solid and direct evidence that ingesting biotin results in healthier hair. This excludes studies sponsored by companies that sell biotin supplements for hair! Secondly taking biotin can cause hair shedding and it interferes with biochemical assays in blood tests. Missed heart attacks and subsequent deaths have been reported in people taking biotin supplementation for hair! Do reach out if you are in need of true expert advice for your hair thinning or loss.
