Noticing thinner hair, a widening part line, or more hair shedding than usual?
Maybe you’ve spotted small bald patches, or find yourself worrying about pattern baldness every time you look in the mirror.
You’re not alone — and you don’t have to face it without support.
While shampoos and serums may offer minimal results, advanced aesthetic treatments go deeper to address the root causes of hair loss.
What is Hair Loss?
Hair loss is a common condition that can be triggered by a variety of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, nutritional deficiencies, and scalp disorders. On average, it is normal to shed 50–100 hairs per day as part of the natural hair growth cycle. However, when hair shedding becomes excessive or persistent, it can lead to noticeable thinning and, over time, permanent baldness.
Understanding the Hair Growth Cycle and Hair Loss
-
Our hair naturally grows in a continuous cycle made up of three stages: the growth phase (anagen), transition phase (catagen), and resting phase (telogen). After completing the growth phase, each strand enters the transition and resting stages before naturally shedding.
-
In healthy hair, there’s a balanced cycle—the number of hairs entering the resting phase is matched by the number of new hairs beginning the growth phase. This balance maintains hair density and overall scalp coverage.
-
When this cycle is disrupted—whether due to genetic factors, hormonal changes, scalp conditions, or damaged hair follicles—fewer hairs enter the growth phase. Over time, this leads to thinning hair, excessive shedding, and even permanent baldness.
-
Baldness is not just a cosmetic concern; it is a dermatological condition that can significantly affect appearance, confidence, and mental health. Studies show that untreated hair loss may contribute to low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances. That’s why early diagnosis and professional treatment are essential for maintaining healthy hair and preventing further loss.
The Root Cause of Hair Loss: Scalp Health and Hair Follicles
-
Your scalp is like the fertile soil in which your hair grows, and each hair follicle is like a seed that determines the strength, thickness, and growth cycle of your hair. Just as healthy plants require nutrient-rich soil, strong and healthy hair depends on a well-nourished scalp and functioning follicles.
-
Each hair follicle can produce 1 to 5 individual hairs during its lifetime. However, follicles have a limited regeneration capacity—once a follicle is severely damaged or completes its natural cycle (around 15 hair growth-and-shed phases), it can become inactive and stop producing hair entirely. This makes follicle preservation and scalp health critical in preventing hair thinning and baldness.
-
When hair falls out naturally, the ideal scenario is for the same follicle to produce a new, healthy strand. But when follicles are weakened, scarred, or blocked, hair regrowth slows or stops, leading to visible hair loss over time.
Types of Hair Loss: Inherited vs. Acquired
1. Inherited Hair Loss
Also known as hereditary hair loss or genetic alopecia, this type of hair loss is passed down through family genes. Common causes include genetic conditions such as congenital ectodermal dysplasia and congenital hypotrichosis. Inherited hair loss often develops gradually and follows predictable patterns, such as male pattern baldness or female pattern hair thinning.
2. Acquired Hair Loss
Acquired hair loss is far more common and can occur at any stage of life. It is influenced by a variety of external and internal factors, including stress and mental health, environmental conditions, poor diet or nutritional deficiencies, irregular sleep patterns, and underlying medical conditions. Because these factors are often manageable or treatable, early intervention can help slow or even reverse hair thinning in many cases.
Symptoms of Hair Loss
Common Signs to Look For
The most noticeable symptoms of hair loss include:
-
A widening part line on the scalp.
-
Thinning hair at the crown or top of the head.
-
Excessive shedding when washing, brushing, or styling hair.
Simple Self-Assessment Test
You can perform a quick at-home check to assess possible hair loss:
-
Select a small section of hair close to the scalp.
-
Hold it between your thumb and forefinger at the root.
-
Gently tug and slide your fingers along the hair shaft.
-
Repeat this process 5–6 times in different scalp areas.
-
Count the number of hairs that come out each time.
If more than 3–4 hairs are shed with each pull, this may indicate active hair loss, and a professional consultation is recommended for diagnosis and treatment.

Consultation: A specialist evaluates your hair loss pattern and suitability for PRP therapy.
-
Pre-treatment Preparation: A small blood sample is drawn from your arm and processed in a centrifuge to extract platelet-rich plasma.
-
Treatment: The PRP is injected into targeted areas of the scalp using fine needles to stimulate follicles and improve blood flow.
-
Monitoring: The professional monitors your comfort and ensures even distribution of PRP across thinning areas.
-
Post-treatment Care: Gentle scalp care instructions are provided; avoid washing hair for 12–24 hours post-treatment.
-
Healing and Recovery: Mild redness or tenderness may occur for 1–2 days. Hair regrowth improvements typically appear after several sessions.
