Hair Loss or Thinning

Hair loss can involve increased shedding, gradual thinning or reduced density across part or all of the scalp. Genetics, hormones, stress, illness, medication and inflammation are among many possible causes.

The Hair Growth Cycle

Hair naturally moves through growth, resting and shedding phases. A visible change can occur when more hairs than usual enter the shedding phase, or when follicles gradually produce finer hairs.

Hormones, Health & Life Changes

Hormonal changes, illness, stress, nutritional deficiencies and some medicines can affect growth. Pregnancy and the months after birth are also common times to notice a change.

Genetics & Scalp Health

Genetics play a strong role in patterned thinning and a receding hairline. Inflammation, scarring or persistent scalp conditions can also affect the follicles and should be assessed appropriately.
