8 months treatment · Alopecia Areata
Giovanni came to us aged 70 with alopecia areata that had progressed to the point where he felt the need to wear a hat in public. In just 8 months of treatment with Gary Heron, he achieved a full recovery — restoring both a luxuriant head of hair and his confidence.

After Giovanni's Hair Loss Issue: Alopecia Areata at 70
Giovanni was 70 when he first came to see us, having attributed his gradual hair loss to ageing. His GP had not investigated further, and Giovanni had quietly accepted wearing a hat in public as part of his routine. After a thorough scalp and hair examination, Gary Heron diagnosed Giovanni with Alopecia Areata — an autoimmune condition that is not age-dependent and responds well to treatment at any stage of life.
Giovanni's Treatment Plan
Gary developed a personalised protocol using targeted topical treatments to address the autoimmune response and reactivate the affected follicles. The plan was straightforward enough for Giovanni to follow independently at home, with no ongoing clinic appointments required once the protocol was established.
Giovanni's Outcome
In just 8 months, Giovanni achieved a full recovery — a luxuriant head of hair and a confidence he had not felt in years. He no longer needed a hat in public. His story demonstrates that age is no barrier to successful treatment of Alopecia Areata, and that accepting hair loss without a specialist opinion is never the only option.
Dear Gary,
Because of you I am a happy man. At our first consultation, as you know, I was very down and miserable. Being a man, I thought that my gradual hair loss was normal for someone of my age.
When you explained the reasons of my hair loss to me, because of your expertise in these matters, you helped to alleviate my fears of losing all my hair.
After a few visits I began to realise that what you told me would happen, did happen, even though I took some convincing.
The products that you gave me to reverse my condition were easy to use and I had no problems following your instructions.
The results have been remarkable. I am ecstatic and my confidence has returned. I now have a luxuriant head of hair and no longer feel it is necessary to wear a hat in public.
Thank you for your empathy and support.
— Giovanni (a very happy man)
What is Alopecia Areata?
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, causing patchy hair loss on the scalp, face, or body. It affects around 2% of the population at some point in their lifetime and can occur at any age, though it often first presents in childhood or early adulthood. Men and women are equally affected. Even when hair is absent, follicles remain alive — meaning regrowth is possible with the right specialist treatment.
“Alopecia Areata can be distressing, but hair follicles are rarely permanently damaged. With the right diagnosis and treatment, significant regrowth is achievable — even in extensive cases.”
