Hair loss has many causes, and the treatment that helps depends on which one you have. Pattern hair loss behaves differently from shedding triggered by illness, thyroid problems, iron deficiency or a stressful few months, and some causes resolve on their own once the trigger is addressed.
That makes a workup the sensible first step rather than an upsell. Bloodwork can rule in or out several treatable causes, and treating those is both cheaper and more effective than a course of injections aimed at the wrong problem. Timing also matters: most approaches do far better at preserving hair that is still there than at recovering follicles that are long gone.
How it gets treated
These are the approaches used locally. A provider may offer one of them or several, which is why the same name appears under more than one heading on this site.
- PRP injections into the scalp
- Prescription medication, topical and oral
- Low-level laser devices
- Surgical transplant, including follicular unit techniques
What to ask a provider
- What is causing my hair loss, and how are you establishing that?
- Have we ruled out the medical causes bloodwork would show?
- What does maintenance cost per year, not just the first course?
