OUR TREATMENTS

Auricular Acupuncture

ABOUT THIS TREATMENT

At The Hannah Gaboardi Clinic, we understand that hair loss is often more than just a physical condition – it can be deeply rooted in emotional, neurological, and autoimmune factors. That’s why we offer Auricular Acupuncture, a gentle yet effective therapy designed to support individuals experiencing alopecia areata or trichotillomania by restoring balance to both body and mind.

This specialised treatment draws on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, using precise stimulation of points on the outer ear (auricle) to regulate internal systems. Each point on the ear corresponds to an area of the body or emotional state, making this a highly targeted and holistic approach.

 
Each appointment at The Hannah Gaboardi Clinic is thoughtfully designed to support both emotional wellbeing and scalp health. Your session includes:
 
• 10 minute Consultation with your Acupuncturist: A personalised check-in to assess your current concerns, progress, and any changes since your last visit.
 
• 30 minutes of Auricular Acupuncture: Targeted ear acupuncture delivered by a skilled practitioner, focusing on key points linked to hair growth, immune balance, and emotional regulation.
 
• Red Light Therapy: A therapeutic light treatment to enhance microcirculation, cellular repair, and overall scalp vitality.
 
• Complimentary Ear Seeding: Small seeds are applied to pressure points to maintain stimulation between treatments. These can be gently pressed during moments of stress or anxiety to help calm the mind and nervous system.

SUPPORTING PATIENTS WITH ALOPEICA AREATA

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, often triggered or exacerbated by stress and inflammation.

Our auricular acupuncture treatment is designed to:

• Calm immune activity by modulating inflammatory pathways and helping to regulate immune function
 
• Improve circulation to the scalp, enhancing delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the follicles
 
• Reduce stress by activating the parasympathetic nervous system and lowering cortisol levels
 
• Support follicle regrowth through improved energy flow and follicular stimulation as outlined in TCM principles
 
Together, these effects create a more favourable environment for hair retention and regrowth.

SUPPORTING PATIENTS WITH trichotillomania

Trichotillomania is a compulsive hair-pulling disorder often linked to anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and trauma.
 
Auricular acupuncture offers a supportive pathway by:
 
• Regulating the nervous system to reduce internal tension and compulsive urges
 
• Enhancing emotional balance by influencing neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine
 
• Interrupting habitual cycles through sensory feedback and body awareness
 
• Promoting restful sleep, which plays a key role in behavioural regulation and mental clarity
 
When used alongside psychological therapies, acupuncture can be a powerful complementary tool in restoring self-control and emotional stability.
