Hair Health

Why diagnosis comes first

Hair loss is not a diagnosis, it is a symptom. It can result from androgenetic alopecia, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid disorders, anaemia, acute stress, medication or scalp conditions.

Treatments applied without a diagnosis often fail, not because they are bad, but because they are treating the wrong thing. Hair loss caused by iron deficiency does not improve with mesotherapy; it improves by correcting the iron.

Trichological assessment

The consultation includes a detailed medical history, examination of the scalp and the hair loss pattern and, when indicated, blood tests to rule out systemic causes.

Taken together, this tells us whether we are dealing with temporary hair loss, which reverses, or progressive miniaturisation of the follicle, which requires a long term strategy.

Treatment options

• Medical treatment — topical or oral, depending on the cause identified.
• Scalp mesotherapy — micro injections of substances that stimulate the follicle.
• PRP (platelet rich plasma) — uses growth factors from the patient's own blood.
• Scalp microneedling — stimulates blood flow to the scalp and boosts absorption of topical treatments.
• Hair transplant — when the follicle can no longer be recovered and density needs to be redistributed.

These options are not isolated alternatives. They are often combined, and medical treatment continues even when moving on to a transplant. Without it, the native hair keeps being lost.
