“I have now had my hair treatment for 6 months and it is still improving.  After 3 months it was good, after 6 months it is excellent, and have been told it will still get better.  I am surprised how good the results have been.  The staff are so friendly and helpful as well.”

Question: If i start your treatment and my hair grows do i still have continue the treatment?

Answer: The most common hair loss condition is Male of Female Pattern Hair Loss.  In order to maintain results of treatment it is required that you carry on using the treatment course.  Once the treatment course is stopped hair loss will revert back to the rate it was being lost before using treatment.  For other conditions such as Alopecia Areata or Diffuse Thinning treatment can be stopped if and when the hair regrows.

“After 1 and a half years of bad hair loss I was pleased to find the Belgravia Centre.  After starting the treatment with Minoxidil I noticed that the hair loss lessened.  After 3 months I already noticed how much my hair is growing back.  In general the treatment and how I was looked after was excellent!”

Believe it or not, a hair loss sufferers worst enemy is frequently the most unlikely culprit - their GP! We have heard numerous reports of men (and women) going to their GP for help with hair loss, only to be informed that there is nothing that can be done and the patient has no choice but to go bald gracefully.  This is something that will generally make a person lose hope - after all, if you can’t trust your GP who can you trust?

Although there are many knowledgeable GPs that refer their patients to Belgravia frequently, there are unfortunately some GPs out there that have not carried out enough research into the treatments currently available for hair loss, which have come a long way in the past decade or so.

We invite anybody experiencing hair loss to come in for a free consultation and speak to a Belgravia trichologist and treatment advisor about all of the steps that can be taken to prevent hair loss.  Our treatment courses are medically proven and help thousands of people to regrow their hair every year.  Please click on the following links for more information:

We would also welcome and encourage any GP to come and take a tour of our clinic and pharmacy where we can offer detailed information on all of the medically proven treatment combinations available, giving you the opportunity to offer your patients the best possible advice on all of the effective solutions for hair loss.

Question: If hair is made out of protein, will eating a high-protein diet have any beneficial effects on hair growth?

Answer: A high protein diet (around 40% of your daily calorie intake comes from protein) can benefit hair growth but will not significantly affect hair loss prevention. Protein helps to keep our hair and nails strong. A well balanced diet is always recommended for both hair growth and overall health.

IF YOU HAVE HAD AN EXPERIENCE WITH GARY HERON PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD YOUR COMMENT TO THIS POST IN ORDER TO KEEP THE PUBLIC AWARE OF THE WESTMINSTER PRACTICE AND HELP OTHERS TO AVOID FALLING VICTIM. YOU CAN SEE OTHER PEOPLE’S COMMENTS AND ADD YOUR OWN IN THE COMMENTS SECTION.

We are receiving an increasingly worrying number of negative reports about Gary Heron and the Westminster Practice (also known as the Hair Centre) from people who have visited the centre for a consultation. Gary Heron is the Westminster Practice’s owner and also works as the consultant, diagnosing hair loss conditions and recommending his own treatments to people who visit the Westminster Practice for a consultation. We have received many complaints about Gary Heron and The Westminster Practice over the years with reports of aggressive selling tactics and schemes to obtain money from people (usually women) without their consent. Gary Heron and the Westminster Practice were featured on BBC 3’s TV programme ‘Conning the Conmen’ in 2007.

Gary Heron of the Westminster Practice has frequently been reported
to use unethical and manipulative tactics to take money from hair loss sufferers.
He was featured on BBC’s ‘Conning the Conmen’ in July 2007

The Westminster Practice formulate their own non-medically-proven natural lotions for hair loss (Vitastim, Biostim and Follicle Builder II) that have minimal clinical efficacy and are inexpensive to produce, even though reported charges have been between £1,800 and £3,000 for 12 month’s worth of the products. Gary Heron has had no medical or trichological training and has no medical or trichological certifications or qualifications but we have numerous reports that he passes himself as a trichologist to people who visit The Westminster Practice for consultation. There is also evidence of this contained in various articles posted by Heron on the internet where he claims to be ‘one of Europe’s leading trichologists’. Gary Heron is a highly experienced and manipulative sales person and will make the customer feel comfortable during the consultation at the Westminster Practice, usually bringing his family into the conversation to build trust and give the impression of sincerity.

We advise anybody to be highly cautious of Gary Heron and the Westminster Practice in order to avoid having vast amounts of money taken from you.

We would appreciate your comments on this post if you have had any experiences with Gary Heron and the Westminster Practice so that we can pull together to wipe out his bad practice and help to prevent people falling victim to his actions in the future. You can also contact us by email (info@belgraviacentre.com) or telephone (020 7730 6666) if you need any help or advice.

The Daily Mirror today contacted one of the Belgravia Centre’s senior trichologists, Leonora Doclis, to request some expert advice on Naomi Campbell’s current hair condition. Recent photos show that Naomi’s parting seems to be wider than normal and the Mirror assumed this was caused by some form of hair loss.  Leonora advised that this possible hair loss could be caused by excessive pulling on the hair, but there is no way to tell conclusively by a photo alone.  You can see the story here - Daily Mirror Story.

Although Naomi Campbell’s Parting seems wider than normal, this
is not necessarily a sign of excessive hair loss although there is a possibility

• The average scalp has around 1000 hairs per Sq. inch.
• Genetic hair loss can be passed down from either the paternal or maternal side of the family tree.
• If you tied all the hairs of an average female from end to end the hair would stretch 30km… that’s roughly the distance from Dover to Calais!
