The Impact of Hair Loss on Transgender Individuals
Hair loss affects us all in different ways and to varying degrees. It’s a deeply disturbing and sensitive topic, never more so than if you are transgender.
For transgender individuals, hair loss can be particularly challenging as it can interfere with their journey of gender affirmation and self-expression. The loss of hair often brings about feelings of insecurity and vulnerability, making it harder to align their physical appearance with their gender identity.
We appreciate the heightened sense of vulnerability felt by transgender men and women, who may already have experienced prejudice or discrimination from those who don’t understand, or are intolerant, of the transgender minority. The societal pressures and misunderstandings can compound the emotional distress associated with hair loss, making it crucial to address these concerns with sensitivity and care.

Can I save my hair?
Yes you can – with the right treatment and advice there is no need to accept going bald. Our laser hair growth therapy can encourage new growth and halt any further hair loss.
How does a hair system work?
We customise your order completely to your requirements, and there are various methods of attachment. The best method can be decided between you and your consultant. Once you decide it’s something you want to do, the waiting time in this programme can be 8 – 12 weeks, however it’s well worth the wait! It doesn’t hurt and it’s instant as you can see by Pete’s video.
How natural will it look
You’ll meet Pete where you can see with your own eyes up close exactly how natural it can look. We pride ourselves on providing systems that are so natural and undetectable that even you will forget you’re wearing one!

If you’re nervous and you don’t like it then you can apply to have your money returned and you lose nothing – you don’t know until you try. *terms and conditions apply
