Treatment depends on the cause
Hair shedding, gradual thinning, patterned loss and patchy loss do not always have the same cause. A consultation may include your history, scalp and hair examination, pattern assessment and—only when clinically indicated—relevant tests. The plan may change according to diagnosis, duration, severity, medical history and goals.
- Identify the pattern and likely contributors before selecting treatment.
- Discuss medicines, supportive care and follow-up only when appropriate.
- Review progress over time because hair cycles and response vary.
