Hair becoming thinner.

A gradual reduction in hair density — individual shafts become finer, overall volume decreases. Sometimes temporary, sometimes chronic. Hormones, stress, nutrition or androgenetic alopecia underneath. The pathway begins with diagnosis, not stimulation.

What it is

Density, gradually lost.

Thinning hair is a gradual reduction in hair density, in which individual hair shafts become finer and the overall volume of the hair decreases.

It may be temporary or chronic, and is often associated with hormonal changes, stress, nutritional deficiencies or androgenetic alopecia. The right protocol depends entirely on which of those is driving it.

Thinning hair rarely has one cause. It has one dominant cause and two contributing ones. The consultation is what separates them.
How it shows up

What patients notice.

Symptoms named in the patient's own words alongside the clinical read.

01

“My hair has become thinner.”

Reduced overall density — the most common presentation, most obvious on the crown.

02

“My ponytail has become thinner.”

A functional patient measurement — the circumference of a tied ponytail reduces over months.

03

Reduced hairstyle volume

Styles that used to hold don't — hair sits flatter and shows scalp more.

04

Increased visibility of the scalp

Parting widens; scalp visible where it wasn't before — a late but reliable sign.

05

Finer hair strands

Individual shaft calibre reduces before the follicle stops producing — visible on trichoscopy.

06

Excessive shedding during brushing

More strands than baseline (~50–100/day) accumulating on brush and pillow.

Types & causes

Why the hair thins.

Different causes call for different pathways — we classify the cause before starting treatment.

#TypeWhat's happeningPathway
01Androgenetic alopecia.Genetic sensitivity to DHT — the most common cause in both men and women.Topical + PRP
02Telogen effluvium.Diffuse shedding triggered by stress, illness or hormonal shift — usually reversible.Cause + support
03Nutritional deficiency.Iron, ferritin, vitamin D or protein deficiency — often the hidden driver.Labs + supplementation
04Hormonal shift.Thyroid, post-partum or menopausal transition affecting the follicle cycle.Endocrinology
05Post- medication.Certain medications (retinoids, hormones, some antidepressants) trigger shedding.Medication review
Diagnostics-first

We image the follicle before we stimulate it.

Trichoscopy shows what's actually happening at the follicle — density, calibre, miniaturisation, inflammation — the data that decides the protocol.

Treatment pathways

How we treat it.

Cause-driven. Topicals, PRP or mesotherapy layered onto medical management of the underlying trigger.

Book a trichology consultation

Begin with a diagnosis.

A specialist images the scalp, reviews your history and — if a systemic driver is suspected — refers for laboratory work before recommending a course.
