Hair shedding
Excessive shedding is caused by nutritional deficiencies and hormonal imbalances such as thyroid problems. It can be triggered by intense physical or emotional stress.
Hair thinning: patterned hair loss
Thinning becomes obvious when shed hair is not replaced. This is a genetic problem known as patterned hair loss. In men it shows as a receding hairline and thinning on the crown. In women, where it is often associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), it shows as a widening parting and loss of density at the front of the scalp.
How we treat it
We look for the root cause of your hair concern and treat it accordingly: with medicines that arrest hair shedding, and with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy to help bring back lost hair.
Who treats you
Dermatologists are doctors who have completed 5½ years of MBBS and 2 to 3 years of post-graduation in dermatology, the study of skin, hair and nail diseases.
