Hair loss & thinning
Hair loss and thinning affect both men and women and can have many causes — genetics, hormones, stress, nutrition, illness, scalp conditions or certain hairstyles. It may appear as a receding hairline, a widening parting, overall thinning or increased shedding.
The key to effective treatment is finding the cause. Our dermatologists assess your hair and scalp, may request blood tests, and recommend a plan that can include medical therapy, scalp treatments, PRP or referral for transplant evaluation.
Common causes
- Male- and female-pattern hair loss
- Shedding after illness, stress, pregnancy or dieting
- Iron, vitamin or thyroid imbalances
- Scalp conditions and tight hairstyles
How we treat hair loss
- Medical therapy tailored to the diagnosis
- PRP injections to support hair growth where appropriate
- Treatment of scalp conditions
- Referral for hair-transplant evaluation when suitable
What to expect
Hair grows slowly, so improvement is usually assessed after 3–6 months. Starting early gives the best chance of preserving hair.

Common questions
Why is my hair falling out?
It may be due to hormones, vitamin deficiency, genetics or stress. Your doctor identifies the cause after examination.
Is hair loss reversible?
Some types, such as shedding after stress or illness, often recover. Genetic hair loss can be slowed and improved with treatment.
How many PRP sessions are needed?
Usually 3–4 sessions about a month apart, then maintenance, depending on your response.
Do I need blood tests?
Often, yes — they help identify causes such as low iron or thyroid problems.
Is it suitable for women?
Yes. Female-pattern hair loss and shedding are common and treatable.
