Stages of Hair Loss

What stage of hair loss are you experiencing? Identifying the stage of your hair loss is the first step towards managing it and minimising its effects on your lifestyle. Here is where we can help by giving you the right medical advice, products and solutions to manage your hair loss for the best possible outcome.

The first sign of hair thinning that most people will notice is when more hairs than usual are left on their comb or hairbrush, or after rigorous shampooing or hair treatments. Styling can also reveal areas of thinning, such as a wider parting or thinning crown.

Take note of changes in the condition of your skin, as substantially blemished skin is a symptom of hormonal imbalances that cause hair loss. Hormonal imbalances triggers DHT production, the primary cause for 95% hair loss, known as pattern hair loss (Androgenetic Alopecia).

Another common symptom of hormonal imbalance that could lead to hair loss is Seborrheic Dermatitis, the buildup of excessive amount of sebum, and excessively oily or dry scalp.
