Magna’s Heartbreaking Ordeal with Alopecia Now Over Thanks To Este UK!
Posted: October 03, 2025
The effects of alopecia can be devastating, particularly when it leads to almost complete hair loss. This was the reality for our UK client Magna, who turned to Este Medical Group for help and has since made an incredible recovery. Here, we share her story and how she overcame severe alopecia areata.
Magna’s hair loss was such a difficult time that she temporarily separated from her children, not wanting them to see her struggle. She even removed every mirror from her home.
In her video testimonial, Magna explains why she wanted to share her ordeal: “Este was a lifesaver for me; Este gave me my life back. I feel more confident and I’m getting my life back together. Este Medical is the best in the world,” she says.
Magna’s story is more common than you think. Many women, men, and youth face the challenges of alopecia, a condition that affects around 2% of the population during their lifetime. In its most severe form, alopecia totalis, the condition causes total hair loss across the scalp.
While the thought of alopecia can feel overwhelming, there are proven and effective treatments available. Magna came to Este UK almost 90% bald, and today she has a full head of natural looking hair. Her confidence and her smile have returned.
If you are experiencing excessive hair shedding or noticing small round bald patches, we recommend you book a consultation with Este Medical UK. Our hair loss specialists can assess your condition and guide you towards the best treatment for restoring hair.
Read on to learn more about the causes of alopecia and the best alopecia treatments that can help bring your hair loss under control and life back into balance.

What is Hair Loss?
Hair loss happens when hair falls out or stops growing. Common types include male pattern baldness, female pattern baldness, thinning hair, and alopecia.
What is Hair Alopecia?
Alopecia is a condition where the body attacks its own hair follicles, leading to sudden or gradual hair loss.
Is Alopecia a Disease?
Alopecia is considered an autoimmune condition, not a contagious disease.
Are there different types of Alopecia Hair Loss?
Yes. Alopecia areata causes patchy bald spots. Alopecia totalis leads to full scalp hair loss. Alopecia universalis causes hair loss across the whole body.
What Causes Alopecia?
There is no single cause. Experts believe it may be triggered by:
- Stress
- Genetics
- Autoimmune conditions
- Hormonal change
- Illness
- Medical condition
- Environmental factors
- Age
What are the psychological effects of Hair Loss from Alopecia?
Alopecia can affect self-esteem and confidence. It may also lead to anxiety, depression, or social withdrawal. Emotional support and treatment can help improve mental wellbeing during an episode of alopecia.
How Do I Know I Have Alopecia?
Alopecia can appear in different ways. The most common signs are sudden bald patches, as well as thinning areas on the scalp, or full hair loss on the head or body. Sometimes the patches are small and round, while in other cases the hair may thin more gradually. Some individuals may also notice changes to their nails, such as nail ridges or pitting. Because hair loss can be caused by many factors, the only way to be sure is to see a hair loss specialist for a proper diagnosis.
Early treatment often improves results, so it is best to seek help as soon as you notice unusual hair shedding or bald patches forming.
Can Alopecia Hair Grow Back?
Yes, in the high majority of cases hair lost due to alopecia can grow back. The outcome depends on the type and severity of alopecia, as well as how quickly treatment is started. Some people experience natural regrowth, while others benefit from medical treatments that encourage hair to return stronger and healthier. A consultation with Este Medical can help determine the best approach for restoring your hair.
How Este UK Treats Alopecia with Proven Hair Restoration Solutions
Besides providing proven alopecia UK treatments, with many success stories from our clients, Este Medical also offers a safe and supportive environment where individuals can feel at ease during treatment and recovery. In most cases, several treatment sessions are needed to manage alopecia, but the encouraging news is that alopecia does not permanently damage hair follicles. This means hair can regrow under the right clinical conditions and with the right treatments.
At Este Medical UK, we offer a range of effective options for treating alopecia. One of the most successful is Exciplex Light Therapy, an autoimmune skin treatment that reactivates the body’s natural local immunosuppression process. This treatment uses skin-safe light wavelengths, with no incisions or ablation, making it completely pain-free. Alongside this, we often recommend PRF treatment, laser hair regrowth LED, hair exosomes, and mesotherapy as part of tailored alopecia treatment plans.
Every case of alopecia is different, and while the condition may improve, accelerate, or become dormant, results are always better with professional care. For the best chance of long-term recovery and lasting results, we recommend seeking specialist alopecia treatment with Este Medical Group.
