WHAT IS IT:

The thinning or miniaturisation of hair, sparse or bald patches, or significant hair loss which is usually noticed when washing or brushing hair.

Many potential factors may be responsible. Correctly assessing the cause and appropriately treating it is essential to achieving results. Hair growth usually occurs from 1 to 4 months after beginning treatment due to hair growth cycles.  Some conditions do not respond to treatments aimed at stimulating new growth and in these situations’ hair transplants, micropigmentation or hairpieces may be the best solutions.
