The Harley Medical Group Reports In Increase In Bald Patch Treatments
Released on: September 08, 2010, 4:11 am The Harley Medical Group has reported demand from male
patients for laser rejuvenation treatments is up +93% over the last
quarter, across its 30 clinics. Laura Marshall, specialist nurse counsellor at The Harley Medical Group, said: "The skin on the scalp is delicate and when not protected by hair or high factor sun cream is prone to burning which can cause dark patches, spots and wrinkles to form. Coming to terms with a receding hairline has always been a challenge for a man, but to then suffer the effects of sun damage on the balding area adds insult to injury. Rejuvenation treatments can help minimise the visible signs of aging skin." Liz Dale, Director, The Harley Medical Group added: "We’re not talking big numbers of bald–patch treatments but the fact we’re getting more enquiries does demonstrate how men are taking non-surgical treatments increasingly seriously as a cosmetic solution. With successful, high profile men, like Simon Cowell, openly talking about their cosmetic regimes it’s a subject that has become more acceptable for men to tackle." Jonathan Reed, 35, patient at The Harley Medical Group commented: "My hair started receding when I was in my mid-twenties. Back then I didn’t put much thought into whether or not I was wearing sun cream and over the last couple of years I’ve developed a couple of sun spots on my scalp, as well as wrinkles. I’ve booked in for a consultation to see what my options are as I am really conscious of how aging the effect is." Liz Dale concluded: "Before booking in an appointment for any kind of injectable or laser procedure patients should always check with their practitioner that they are a registered healthcare professional." - ends - Notes to editors: About The Harley Medical Group: The Harley Medical Group works tirelessly to maintain the highest standards in the
