What is this?
Hair loss results from genetic factors, hormonal changes, or stress, leading to thinning or bald patches on the scalp. The condition varies in severity, with some experiencing gradual thinning and others more noticeable shedding. Hair loss can affect self-esteem and is influenced by lifestyle and overall health.

Androgenetic alopecia
Commonly known as pattern baldness, is a type of hair loss that affects both men and women. It is primarily caused by a combination of genetic factors and hormonal influences.
-
Telogen effluvium
Which is a form of nonscarring alopecia characterized by diffuse, often acute, hair shedding. Another form that is chronic with a more insidious onset also exists. Telogen effluvium is the excessive shedding of resting or telogen hair after some metabolic stress, hormonal changes, or medication.
-
Anagen effluvium
Is a type of hair loss that occurs during the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle, which is the active growth phase. It is characterized by the rapid shedding of hair and can result in significant hair loss, often within a short period of time.
-
Tinea capitis
Also known as scalp ringworm, is a fungal infection that affects the scalp. It is caused by a group of fungi called dermatophytes, which thrive in warm, moist environments and infect the outer layer of skin, hair, and nails.
Did You Know?
“Hair loss restoration is possible with follicle-revitalizing treatments that promote growth. These therapies enhance density, strengthen hair, and restore a fuller, healthier appearance.”
What are the Causes?
Genetics
Hereditary conditions like male or female pattern baldness are the most common causes of hair thinning or shedding.
Stress
Chronic stress triggers telogen effluvium, a condition where hair prematurely enters the shedding phase.
Hormonal Imbalances
Changes in hormones, such as postpartum shifts or menopause, can disrupt the hair growth cycle, causing loss.
Nutritional Deficiencies
A lack of key nutrients like iron, biotin, or protein weakens hair follicles and slows regrowth.
Prevention
-
Ensure your diet includes essential vitamins like biotin, iron, and zinc to support hair health.
-
Avoid excessive heat styling and harsh chemicals to protect hair follicles from damage.
How to Treat
Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP therapy has gained popularity as a non-surgical option for individuals with androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) and other forms of hair loss. Research indicates it can help stimulate hair follicles, potentially leading to thicker hair and slower hair loss. PRP is rich in growth factors that promote healing and tissue regeneration. When injected into the scalp, it can help activate dormant hair follicles, encouraging them to enter the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. This treatment aims to improve hair thickness, density, and overall hair health, especially in individuals with thinning hair.

Hair loss can be triggered by a variety of factors, ranging from genetic predisposition (such as androgenetic alopecia) to medical conditions, hormonal imbalances, and lifestyle habits. Understanding the specific cause of hair loss is essential for determining the appropriate treatment or intervention. While some causes, like genetic hair loss, may be managed with medications (e.g., minoxidil or finasteride), others may require addressing underlying health conditions, improving diet, reducing stress, or making changes to hair care routines. If you’re experiencing significant or sudden hair loss, it’s best to consult our professional to identify the cause and explore the best treatment options for you.

Yes, hair can grow back after thinning, but it depends on several factors, including the cause of the thinning, the extent of the damage to the hair follicles, and how early the condition is treated. Some forms of hair thinning can be reversed or slowed down with proper treatment, while others may require more advanced interventions.
Nutritional deficiencies, temporary conditions like telogen effluvium, and scalp health issues often result in regrowth after treatment. However, conditions like androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) may require more intensive treatments, such as medications or hair transplants, and regrowth may be limited depending on how much damage has been done to the hair follicles. The earlier you address hair thinning, the better the chances of successful regrowth.
If you are unsure about the cause of your hair loss, it’s best to consult our dermatologist for personalized advice.

The best hair loss treatment depends on the underlying cause of the hair loss, the severity of the condition, and individual factors like age, gender, and overall health. There isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, but several effective treatments can help slow or reverse hair loss, especially when used early or in combination with other strategies. Here are some of the best and most effective treatments for hair loss:
For male pattern baldness: Minoxidil (topical), finasteride (oral), hair transplants are the most effective treatments and PRP therapy work well.
For female pattern baldness: Minoxidil, spironolactone (topical), and PRP therapy work well.
For alopecia areata: Corticosteroid injections and PRP therapy can be effective.
For nutritional deficiencies: Supplements can be a great adjunct to other treatments.
It's important to consult with our dermatologist to determine the cause of your hair loss and the most appropriate treatment plan. Treatments often require time (typically 3-6 months) to show noticeable results, and maintaining consistent use is key to long-term success.
