Hair Loss & thinning

Medical assessment and personalised management of hair loss and scalp concerns.

What is it?

Hair loss may present as gradual thinning, increased shedding, or changes in hair density.

It can affect both men and women and may occur for a range of underlying reasons.

Contributing factors:

Hair loss is often multifactorial and may include:

  • Genetic predisposition (pattern hair loss)

  • Hormonal influences

  • Nutritional factors

  • Medical conditions

  • Stress or illness

  • Medications

Assessment:

Assessment focuses on identifying the underlying cause and pattern of hair loss.

This may include:

  • Medical history

  • Pattern and distribution of thinning

  • Timeline of changes

  • Scalp examination

Where appropriate, further investigation or referral may be considered.

Management

Management is tailored to the underlying cause and may include:

  • Medical treatment where appropriate

  • Supportive therapies

  • Scalp and hair care optimisation

  • Procedural options in selected cases

Not all patients require procedural treatment.

What to expect:

  • Hair growth occurs gradually over time

  • Consistency is important

  • Treatment response varies between individuals

  • Ongoing management may be required
