Medical Disclosure
Last Updated: August 2026
Information provided by Sussex Hair Clinic through this website, consultations and educational materials is intended to support understanding of hair loss, hair thinning and scalp conditions. It should not replace appropriate medical advice, diagnosis or treatment from a doctor or other qualified healthcare professional.
1. Scope of Trichology Services
Sussex Hair Clinic provides professional trichology consultations, hair and scalp assessments, personalised recommendations and appropriate trichological treatments.
Trichologists specialise in conditions affecting the hair and scalp but are generally not medically qualified doctors. Where a concern falls outside the appropriate scope of trichology, further assessment by a GP, dermatologist or another healthcare professional may be recommended.
2. Website Information
Information published on sussexhairclinic.uk/ is provided for general educational purposes.
Website content:
- Is not a personal medical diagnosis.
- Does not replace an individual consultation or examination.
- Should not be used to start, stop or change prescribed medication.
- Should not delay seeking appropriate medical advice.
Hair loss and scalp symptoms can have many different causes, so information that applies to one person may not be appropriate for another.
3. Consultations and Recommendations
During a consultation, relevant factors such as your hair and scalp history, general health, medications, lifestyle and available test results may be considered.
Any recommendations are based on the information available at the time of assessment.
Where further investigation is appropriate, you may be advised to speak with your GP, dermatologist or another suitably qualified healthcare professional.
4. Treatment Outcomes
Individual responses to hair and scalp treatments can vary.
Sussex Hair Clinic cannot guarantee:
- Hair regrowth.
- A particular treatment result.
- A specific timeframe for improvement.
- That a particular approach will be suitable for every patient.
Recommendations are made according to individual circumstances and professional assessment. Service limitations and booking conditions are detailed in our Terms & Conditions.
5. Medicines and Medical Treatment
Sussex Hair Clinic does not recommend that you discontinue or alter medication prescribed by your doctor without discussing this with the prescribing healthcare professional.
If medication, an underlying medical condition or another health issue may be contributing to your hair or scalp concern, appropriate medical investigation may be recommended.
6. Urgent Medical Concerns
Sussex Hair Clinic does not provide emergency medical services.
If you need urgent medical help and are unsure what to do, contact NHS 111. For a serious or life-threatening emergency, call 999 or attend the appropriate emergency service.
7. External Information
Our website may link to external medical, professional or educational resources.
These links are provided for additional information and do not necessarily represent an endorsement of every statement, product or treatment provided by a third-party website.
