What hair loss and trichology services do Medusa Salons offer in Edinburgh?
«Hair loss and trichology services at Medusa Salons are available from our Broughton Street salon, where clients can access specialist scalp and hair loss support with Wil Fleeson, founder and CEO of Trichology Scotland.
Our services focus on identifying the cause of hair loss or thinning and recommending personalised treatment plans, which may include targeted scalp therapies, product prescriptions and long-term management strategies. Wil is also a Board Member of the Association of Registered Trichologists, ensuring expert, evidence-based care.
How do I know if I’m experiencing hair loss or normal shedding?
«It is normal to lose around 50–100 hairs per day as part of the natural hair growth cycle. However, signs such as increased shedding, thinning through the crown or parting, or visible changes in hair density may indicate hair loss rather than everyday shedding.
At Medusa’s Broughton Street salon, a trichology consultation with Wil Fleeson allows for professional assessment of your scalp and hair growth patterns. This helps distinguish between temporary shedding and underlying hair loss conditions, ensuring the correct advice and next steps.
What causes hair loss and thinning hair?
«Hair loss can be caused by a range of factors including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, illness, nutritional deficiencies, scalp conditions and lifestyle influences.
During a trichology consultation at Medusa Salons in Edinburgh, Wil Fleeson conducts a detailed assessment to identify the underlying cause. Understanding whether hair loss is genetic, temporary or scalp-related is essential in recommending effective treatments and managing expectations realistically.
What happens during a trichology consultation at Medusa Salons?
«A trichology consultation at Medusa’s Broughton Street salon involves an in-depth review of your hair and scalp health with Wil Fleeson, registered trichologist and founder of Trichology Scotland.
The consultation includes a scalp examination, discussion of hair history, lifestyle factors and any recent changes that may be affecting hair growth. Based on these findings, Wil will recommend a tailored plan which may include professional treatments, specialist products or longer-term scalp management strategies.
Can hair loss be treated or improved with professional trichology support?
«Many forms of hair loss and thinning can be managed or improved when the underlying cause is correctly identified. Professional trichology support focuses on improving scalp health, supporting the hair growth cycle and reducing further hair loss where possible.
While some conditions may require medical input beyond salon-based care, trichology services at Medusa Salons work alongside broader treatment options to provide expert guidance, realistic outcomes and structured long-term support.
How long does it take to see results from hair loss treatments?
«Hair growth follows a natural cycle, so results from hair loss treatments are gradual rather than immediate. Many clients begin to notice reduced shedding, improved scalp health or stronger regrowth within a few months, depending on the cause and consistency of treatment.
Regular follow-ups at Medusa’s Broughton Street salon allow progress to be monitored and treatment plans adjusted as needed, ensuring the best possible outcomes over time.
