Finding the cause comes first

• Pattern hair loss — gradual thinning at the crown or widening of the parting; the most common form in both men and women, and treatable, especially early.
• Sudden diffuse shedding (telogen effluvium) — often follows illness, stress, childbirth or nutritional gaps; usually recoverable once the trigger is addressed.
• Patchy loss (alopecia areata) — coin-shaped bald patches needing specific treatment.
• Scalp conditions — dandruff, seborrhoeic dermatitis and scalp inflammation can drive shedding and need their own care.

Treatment options

Depending on the diagnosis: medical treatment to slow loss and support regrowth; correction of contributing factors (iron, thyroid, nutrition — tested where indicated); scalp treatment for dandruff and inflammation; and PRP therapy — using your own platelet concentrate to support hair regeneration — for suitable candidates, as a structured course. What works is decided by the cause, not the trend.

Frequently asked questions

Does PRP work for hair loss?

PRP can support hair regeneration in suitable candidates — typically pattern hair loss caught early — delivered as a structured course after evaluation. Response varies by individual.

Why is my hair suddenly falling out?

Sudden diffuse shedding often follows illness, stress, childbirth or nutritional deficiency, usually 2–3 months after the trigger — and is generally recoverable once the cause is addressed.

Can female hair loss be treated?

Yes — female pattern loss and shedding are both treatable, and evaluation distinguishes them from thyroid, iron or hormonal causes that need their own correction.

When should I see a doctor for hair fall?

If shedding is persistent, patchy or sudden, or thinning is becoming visible — early evaluation preserves more hair.
