Is your hair falling out more than it should?

It is hair loss that can be gradual and reduce density in areas such as the hairline, the top of the head or the parting. There are several causes, and the most common is androgenetic alopecia, linked to heredity and hormones. The doctor identifies the type in your case.

It is diffuse hair loss, all over the head, in which more hairs than usual enter the shedding phase at the same time. It usually appears weeks or months after a trigger such as stress, illness, fever, childbirth, a very restrictive diet, rapid weight loss or certain medications. It is often temporary, but the doctor assesses your case.

You cannot tell them apart on your own, because the signs can look alike. The doctor examines your scalp, listens to your story and, when needed, requests tests to find the cause.

Rapid weight loss is one of the known triggers of effluvium. Do not stop any medication on your own: talk to the doctor who prescribed it and book an assessment to understand what is happening in your case.

It depends on the cause. The doctor defines the plan after the assessment, and it may include several options. That is why we do not promise a treatment before understanding your case.

No. Results vary from person to person and depend on each case. That is why we do not promise them before the consultation.

In alopecia, continuing the treatment is usually important to maintain the results. The doctor plans the follow-up with you.

Any treatment can have side effects. The doctor explains the risks, the alternatives and what to expect before any decision, and assesses whether there is any reason not to do it in your case.
