Hair & Scalp
Hair Loss Treatment
Diagnosis-first care for shedding, thinning and patterned hair loss.
Treatment Overview
Effective hair treatment depends on knowing why hair is being lost. Assessment includes history, scalp examination, trichoscopy and, where indicated, blood investigations before any plan is made.
Who May Benefit
- Patients with increased shedding over weeks or months
- Those noticing a widening parting or reducing density
- Patients with post-illness or post-pregnancy shedding
- Anyone with a family history of patterned hair loss
How the Treatment Works
Treatment addresses the identified cause — correcting deficiencies, treating scalp inflammation, and using therapies that prolong the growth phase of the hair cycle.
The Treatment Process
- 01
Consultation
History, pull test, scalp examination and trichoscopy.
- 02
Investigations
Blood tests where an underlying factor is suspected.
- 03
Personalized plan
Topical, oral or procedural options as appropriate.
- 04
Review
Objective comparison at follow-up to judge response.
What to Expect
Hair responds slowly. Early treatment can be accompanied by a temporary increase in shedding before regrowth, which your dermatologist will explain in advance.
Number of Sessions
Home therapy is daily; reviews are typically at three to six month intervals. Procedural options such as PRP follow their own schedule.
Aftercare
- Use the prescribed products consistently
- Avoid tight hairstyles and harsh chemical processing
- Maintain a protein-adequate, balanced diet
- Attend follow-up reviews to track progress
Potential Risks & Considerations
- Results depend on the cause and how early treatment begins
- Some medications need review in pregnancy or specific conditions
- Maintenance is required in patterned hair loss
