Hair Fall & Thinning

Hair fall has many causes and they are not interchangeable — thyroid, iron, post-illness shedding, hormonal patterns and genetic loss all look similar in the shower drain and respond to completely different things. This is the concern where treating before diagnosing wastes the most money.

Reviewed by The Aesthetic Edge medical team

What people usually notice

  • Noticeably more hair on the pillow, comb or shower floor
  • A part line that looks wider than it did a year ago
  • A ponytail that feels thinner in the hand
  • Scalp visible under direct light where it was not before

What commonly contributes

  • Genetic pattern loss, which is progressive without intervention
  • Iron, vitamin D, B12 or thyroid issues, all of which are testable
  • Telogen effluvium after illness, surgery, childbirth or acute stress
  • Hormonal conditions, including PCOS

This page describes what is common, not what is true of you. Only an examination can say which of these applies.

What a doctor may consider

Which of these suits you — and whether any of them is needed at all — is decided at the consultation, not from this page.

What the consultation settles

Expect blood work to be suggested before a treatment course. A clinic that starts injecting without establishing why you are losing hair is skipping the step that decides whether anything will work.

Questions patients ask about hair fall & thinning

How much hair fall is normal?
Shedding some hair daily is normal. What matters more is whether density is changing — a widening part or a thinner ponytail is a better signal than counting strands.
Do I need tests before starting treatment?
Usually yes. Iron, vitamin D, B12 and thyroid are commonly checked because a deficiency-driven loss will not respond to a treatment aimed at pattern loss.
How long before I see regrowth?
Hair grows roughly a centimetre a month, so comparison photographs are taken at three months and beyond. Anyone promising visible regrowth in weeks is not describing how hair works.
Do you offer hair transplant?
No. We do not perform hair transplants, and we will tell you plainly if that is what your degree of loss actually calls for.
