“My hair has become thinner.”
Reduced overall density — the most common presentation, most obvious on the crown.
↗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.
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.”
Symptoms named in the patient's own words alongside the clinical read.
Reduced overall density — the most common presentation, most obvious on the crown.
↗A functional patient measurement — the circumference of a tied ponytail reduces over months.
↗Styles that used to hold don't — hair sits flatter and shows scalp more.
↗Parting widens; scalp visible where it wasn't before — a late but reliable sign.
↗Individual shaft calibre reduces before the follicle stops producing — visible on trichoscopy.
↗More strands than baseline (~50–100/day) accumulating on brush and pillow.
↗Different causes call for different pathways — we classify the cause before starting treatment.
Trichoscopy shows what's actually happening at the follicle — density, calibre, miniaturisation, inflammation — the data that decides the protocol.
Cause-driven. Topicals, PRP or mesotherapy layered onto medical management of the underlying trigger.
Platelet-rich plasma stimulates dormant follicles; vitamin-based mesotherapy delivers nutrients directly to the scalp. Course-based, results visible after 3–4 months.
Minoxidil and other topical stimulants — the baseline for most patterns.
Supportive · HormonalUnderlying hormonal or nutritional causes addressed through the appropriate specialty.
Supportive · Skin qualityHyaluronic acid to support scalp condition alongside hair-focused work.
Supportive · VitaminsVitamin infusion — usually paired with the PRP course for compound benefit.
A specialist images the scalp, reviews your history and — if a systemic driver is suspected — refers for laboratory work before recommending a course.
