What is Hair Loss, and Who Does It Affect?
Hair loss, medically known as alopecia, encompasses a range of conditions that can lead to partial or complete loss of hair. It is a concern that affects both men and women and can occur at any stage of life. The causes of hair loss are varied, including genetic factors, hormonal changes, medical conditions, treatments, stress, and nutritional deficiencies. Androgenetic alopecia is the most common form, typically manifesting as hair loss on the crown in men and across the scalp in women.
Early signs of hair loss include a noticeable increase in hair shedding, a widening part, and a visible scalp. Recognising these early signs is crucial for effective intervention. Eaton Skin & Aesthetics provides comprehensive care for individuals experiencing hair loss, offering diagnostic tools to identify the underlying cause and tailor treatment accordingly.
With a team led by doctors who have dedicated years to understanding and treating dermatological concerns, including hair loss, Eaton Skin & Aesthetics is well-equipped to address this complex condition.
Various Stages of Hair Loss
Hair loss progresses through various stages, and understanding these stages is crucial for effective treatment. The initial stage may involve slight thinning or receding, which is often overlooked. As hair loss advances, the scalp becomes more visible, and the thinning becomes more pronounced, particularly at the hairline or crown of the head. In more advanced stages, hair loss can lead to comprehensive thinning across the scalp.
Recognising the stage of hair loss is essential in determining the most appropriate treatment strategy. Early intervention can often slow down or even halt the progression of hair loss, making awareness and prompt action key. At Eaton Skin & Aesthetics, we utilise imaging technology to assess the stage of hair loss accurately, providing a clear basis for treatment planning.
Each stage of hair loss presents its own challenges and treatment opportunities. Our clinic offers a range of therapies tailored to the individual’s stage of hair loss, focusing on slowing progression and stimulating regrowth.
How We Treat Hair Loss
At Eaton Skin & Aesthetics, we offer a multifaceted approach to treating hair loss. Our treatment options include topical treatments such as minoxidil, which can stimulate hair growth in both men and women and oral medications like finasteride for men, which can slow hair loss by reducing hormone levels that contribute to hair follicle shrinkage.
For those looking for non-pharmaceutical interventions, we provide treatments such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, which involves administering a concentration of the patient’s own platelets into the scalp to stimulate hair growth.
Understanding that hair loss can be a symptom of underlying health issues, our comprehensive treatment approach also includes nutritional advice, stress management techniques, and lifestyle modifications to support overall scalp and hair health. Our team, led by doctors with experience in dermatology, works closely with each patient to develop a personalised treatment plan that addresses the specific causes and stages of their hair loss.
