Focused history: timeline, family pattern, health, stress, diet and medicines
Hair & scalp care
Your hairline is changing. Your next move shouldn’t be guesswork.
Male hair loss can have more than one cause. Start with a scalp assessment, a clear explanation and a plan built around your pattern, health and priorities.
01 · Assessment before recommendation
Understand first
Hair loss is a symptom. The pattern helps tell the story.
Gradual thinning at the temples or crown often looks different from sudden shedding, round patches or an irritated scalp. Identifying the pattern—and what happened before it began—guides the next step.
01
A receding hairline or increased visibility at the crown
02
More shedding in the shower, on the pillow or during styling
03
Sudden patches, redness, itching, pain or scaling
04
Hair changes after illness, major stress, dieting or medicine changes
Your first appointment
A thoughtful assessment, not a rushed sales pitch.
Scalp and hair examination for distribution, density and inflammation
Baseline photography or measurements when useful for follow-up
Targeted blood tests or dermatologist referral only when indicated
Personalised care map
Options matched to the cause, evidence and your priorities.
Protect existing hair
Evidence-based topical or prescription options may be discussed with realistic timelines, side effects and contraindications.
Support scalp health
When inflammation or scalp disease contributes, treating the scalp may come before adding growth products.
Procedure-based support
In-clinic options may be considered as an adjunct. Evidence, cost, maintenance and uncertainty should be clear.
Restoration referral
For stable, suitable patterns, a clinician may discuss transplant evaluation and long-term maintenance.

Questions, answered clearly
Frequently asked questions
Can male pattern hair loss be reversed?+
Some treatments can slow progression and improve density for suitable patients, but no responsible provider should promise complete restoration.
Do I need a blood test?+
Not everyone does. Tests are most useful when symptoms, diet, medicines or the pattern suggest another contributor.
How soon can I judge treatment?+
Hair cycles are slow. Many pathways need several months. Consistent baseline photos are more useful than daily mirror checks.
Should I start supplements first?+
Not automatically. Excess amounts of some nutrients can be harmful. Supplements make most sense when a genuine need is identified.
