There are many causes for hair loss including normal effects of hormones and ageing as well as conditions of the immune system, certain medications and stress.

Hair loss can cause much distress.

Dermatologists are the specialists in hair loss, its causes and its treatment. In addition to a thorough examination, specialised blood and skin tests are commonly performed.

How well hair loss responds to treatment very much depends on the cause of the hair loss but good results are commonly achievable.
