Dr Munir Soimji is one of the world’s leading hair loss specialists and has researched a variety of clinically-approved serums for a range of hair loss conditions. Dr Somji has first-hand experience with hair loss, which has driven him to offer the best solutions – both non-surgical and surgical – to this harrowing condition.

To get a hair loss medication, you’ll need a consultation with Dr Somji, either in clinic or via video link. He will discuss with you, your genuine concerns about your hair loss so that he can write a prescription for the serum combination he feels will benefit your specific hair loss condition. Our laboratory will then formulate the bespoke medication formulation, tailored to your needs and dispense to you, with full instructions on how, when and how often to apply them.

Am I suitable for topical hair loss serums?

During your video consultation you will be able to discuss with Dr Somji, your individual concerns, your desire for results and your medical history. The doctor will then be able to confirm if a topical serum will be safe and effective for you to use.

When will I see results from a topical serum for hair loss?

It’s important to have realistic expectations when it comes to topical serums for hair loss. As we know, hair grows at a rate of around 1cm per month, so it could take a while for your hair follicles to become stimulated and to see significant hair growth in the areas of concern. The name of the game is to be patient and persistent and we will monitor your progress here at the clinic and keep in touch with you at regular intervals.

How long will the results last?

Every patient is different and the cause of hair thinning or hair loss can have an impact on how long your results last. However, many of our patients experience long-term results when using a topical hair loss serum and when used regularly and in accordance with the directions of Dr Somji, the serums can keep on working to retain and improve the condition of your hair.

Why should I use a topical serum and not a shampoo?

A topical serum from Dr MediSpa is a specially formulated product for your unique and individual requirements. Shampoos may contain a small amount of hair restoring ingredients but are produced for a wider market. With a serum, you will leave the specially prescribed product on the scalp for an allotted time, meaning that the specific, tailored treatment is left to work longer than a rinse off shampoo.

Why Non-surgical hair restoration formulations at Dr MediSpa?

Whether through genetics, medication, stress or illness, thinning hair is something that can affect our confidence and wellbeing. At Dr MediSpa in Loughton in Essex and Marylebone, London, we offer both surgical and non-surgical solutions to thinning hair and are now able to prescribe a range of topical serums to treat hair loss, if a surgical approach is not required.

What are the benefits of topical hair serums over surgical procedures?

If you are in the earlier stages of hair thinning or hair loss, surgical intervention may not yet be necessary and it might be possible to treat your hair loss condition in a more conservative way.

At Dr MediSpa we will only recommend invasive surgery when we feel it is absolutely necessary and we have investigated all other avenues. Treating hair loss with a topical formulation will also help to treat the entire scalp area and could prevent more hair loss from occurring.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am halfway through my treatment programme but so far very happy with the results and service. I have made a big financial commitment but after initial consultations, feel well informed and believe my expectations have been managed appropriately. Everyone in the salon is very friendly and helpful and I feel comfortable and well looked after when I'm there. Ellie is very knowledgeable and thorough. Would highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The only place I trust with my face. I’m quite particular and have a medical background, so I don’t say that lightly. Everything is done properly, with care and precision, never rushed.

Ellie is incredibly thorough and consistent, and Olaya has genuinely helped me get my confidence and my skin back.

Professional, honest, and results-driven. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been seeing Dr Somji regularly and exclusively for 10 years (usually every 3/5 months) and have always trusted his expertise I can honestly say he is the best. His clinic team also are fantastic. Last week I had a fire and ice facial with Mariana, it left me glowing  and I also had a nice skin care lesson from Mariana, she was very knowledgable and it is certainly a treatment I would book again.

Thank you to all the team

Great experience with Dr Munirs guidance, Dr Bhavik Shahs expertise and Claudia who performed the treatment for Dye IPL and Ipixel. The journey was carefully thought out and was a lot less painful than I thought. Thank you all at Dr Medispa!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic :-)

I visited Dr Somji's mid 2025, and through a robust, transparent and consultative process, received treatment for my alopecia.

After approximately 5 months from my first round of treatment, there are visible signs of my hair growing back

A big shout out to Amz Dhanjal at the front desk for co-ordinating (and buying me a cup of tea from Gails)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very impressed with this Clinic. I am so happy with my Lip filler treatments from the very talented and artistic injector Dr Somji, who provided me with NATURAL results!
He is very thorough, and won’t do any treatments he doesn’t think are necessary, he actually persuaded me to have less! During the consultation I was educated on all the risks, pros and cons, and measured my facial proportions to work out exactly what was best to suit my face naturally. His theory is ‘less is more’ and I completely agree! I went in thinking I needed jawline filler, lip filler, cheek filler and Botox which is what I’ve been told by other places, being ‘sold too’, in fact all I needed was a touch of lip and chin filler to balance my symmetry and this was absolutely perfect! He’s a master at the Cannula method, I felt minimal discomfort, had 0 bruising because the tip is blunt and my anxiety of injectables is now much less as I now know this is the safest method. I couldn’t recommend Dr Somji any more, professional, patient, understanding, safe and a master Injector! The Drs  assistant Elli was very sweet too making sure I felt comfortable through out, embarrassingly held my hand to calm my nerves which I might add really helped! 5 stars!!!!
