What is Hair Loss?

Hair loss, or alopecia, is a condition characterized by the thinning or loss of hair from the scalp or body. It can result from genetics, autoimmune causes, medical conditions or medications. Hair loss may be temporary or permanent, and treatment options include medications, hair restoration procedures, and lifestyle changes to promote hair growth.

Our Approach to Treating Hair Loss

Stage 1
Comprehensive Evaluation

We start with a thorough assessment to identify the type and cause of hair loss. This includes reviewing medical history, performing scalp examinations, and possibly conducting blood tests or biopsies to determine underlying factors.

Stage 2
Personalized Treatment Plan

Our customized treatment plan may include treating the underlying cause with topical solutions or oral medications. We tailor treatments to the patient's specific needs, focusing on preventing further loss and stimulating hair growth.

Ongoing Support and Monitoring

We provide regular follow-ups to track progress and adjust treatments as needed. Continuous support and education empower patients with lifestyle and dietary recommendations to maintain hair health and optimize treatment outcomes.
