Common Causes of Hair Loss

Hair shedding can stem from genetics, hormonal shifts, nutritional factors, stress, or medical conditions. Distinguishing temporary shedding from progressive loss guides care.

Assessment is key

Trichoscopy, history, and sometimes labs help identify contributors. Self-diagnosing from social media often delays effective care.

Treatment pathways

Options may include medical therapy, regenerative approaches, or lifestyle adjustments—always after professional evaluation.
