“Having blood investigations can help us obtain answers and point us in the right direction to the key points we are searching for- ‘what is causing my hair loss?’ almost like piecing together a puzzle”
When an individual has hair or scalp concerns, we can turn to your blood report for potential answers to the questions we may have during your consultation.
Many times, individuals obtain blood investigations via a GP or privately with the result outcome stated as ‘normal’. Although these levels are within the normal ranges and values, as a trichologist we look at these levels differently as we look for optimisation and not normalisation.
We look at your bloods results as an individual along with other key points in your story as at times there can be multiple contributing factors and with levels at lower end of normal or borderline this can at times be a catalyst for that ‘perfect storm’ of contributing factors.
We can also look back at multiple blood reports to check for any changes, fluctuations or at times peaks and troughs of levels.
At Margaret Simpson Trichology we can inter-operate your reports obtained from the NHS or Privately. We can advise you on which blood investigations would be most beneficial for yourself to request and the best method for you to obtain these, whether this would be via the NHS or obtained at a private clinic.
Bringing blood reports along with you to clinic on your initial consultation can be helpful although not paramount, you can still go ahead with your consultation as we can obtain these on a later date and Margaret will review these and give you her thoughts once they have been carried out or once a copy of your previous report has been provided.

I was directed to Margaret by my sister who found her practice online after i had expressed concerns I had about the amount of hair that i seemed to be loosing while washing and brushing. I attended a consultation with Margaret after seeing my GP, who didnt really seem to know how to advise me on what could be causing my hair loss and how to treat it. During my consultation, Margaret explained how hair cycles worked and what tje causes of my hair shedding could be. Margaret did a full examination of my hair and scalp and explained to me what she saw and what it meant. I couldn't recommend Margaret enough, she set me at ease and gave me a thorough explanation of what she felt was going on and how to move forward

I recently visited Margaret’s clinic and found her to be very professional but also very sympathetic. I felt comfortable discussing my hair loss with her. She provided me with an honest assessment and a written report of the problems and their possible causes, which I’d been unable to discover elsewhere, and she suggested the different types of solutions available and their advantages and disadvantages. She was happy for me to contact her again with questions. I would certainly recommend a visit to Margaret’s clinic to anyone with a hair problem. It really helps to talk to someone who understands the problem.

Really anxious regarding my hair loss I was pleased to find this local trichology clinic. Following lots of questions regarding overall health my scalp and hair were thoroughly examined using a special camera and a microscope.
At every stage Margaret talked me through what she was observing and what these findings meant for my long term hair health.
I left with a treatment plan - evidence based rather than any expensive gimmicks .I received a helpful summary of my appointment that same day.
I already feel more confident that with Margaret’s advice I will see realistic improvement. Highly recommend a consultation for anyone experiencing hair loss.
I was very happy with my appointment with the Trichologist Ms Margaret Simpson. She gave me a thorough examination using a hair follicle camera, she advised me to have my blood tested and suggested certain hair products to use. She later advised me on which nutrition and vitamins to take based on the blood results.
I attended privately a consultant dermatologist with the same problem the year before and Ms Simpson’s Examination and advice was far superior. I highly recommend her to anyone having hair loss problems.
