HAIR LOSS TREATMENT LONDON

Conditions requiring hair loss treatment

Hair loss treatment can help with a range of symptoms. Depending on the cause of hair loss it can manifest in different ways. It can come on suddenly or gradually, some types of hair loss are temporary, and others are permanent.

• Gradual hair thinning: This is the most common type of hair loss, affecting both men and women as they age. In men, hair often begins to recede from the forehead, while women typically retain the hairline on the forehead but have a broadening of the parting in their hair.
• Receding hairline: A receding hairline is characterised by the hairline moving further back on the scalp, creating a more prominent forehead. This is commonly seen in male pattern baldness.
• Circular or patchy bald spots: This refers to areas on the scalp where hair is completely absent, resulting in a bald spot. This can be caused by conditions like alopecia areata.
• Excessive hair shedding during brushing or washing: If you notice an unusually large amount of hair falling out when brushing or washing your hair, it may be a sign of excessive hair shedding. This can be caused by various factors, including hormonal changes, stress, or certain medical conditions.
• Noticeable hair loss on pillows, clothing, or in the shower drain: Finding clumps of hair on your pillows, clothing, or in the shower drain can indicate significant hair loss. This can be a cause for concern and may require further evaluation.
• Hair becoming brittle, dry, or easily breakable: Hair that becomes brittle, dry, or easily breakable may be a sign of damage or underlying health issues. It can be caused by excessive heat styling, chemical treatments, or nutritional deficiencies.
• Itchy or irritated scalp: An itchy or irritated scalp can be a symptom of various scalp conditions, such as dandruff, psoriasis, or scalp infections. It can also be a result of excessive dryness or sensitivity.
• Scalp tenderness or pain: Scalp tenderness or pain can be caused by inflammation, infection, or underlying medical conditions. It may also be a symptom of conditions like scalp folliculitis or tension headaches.
• Changes in hair texture or colour: Changes in hair texture or colour can occur due to various factors, including ageing, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, or certain medical conditions.
• Decreased hair density or volume: Decreased hair density or volume refers to a noticeable decrease in the overall thickness or fullness of the hair. This can be a result of various factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, or certain medical conditions.
