Hair Loss Treatments

Hair loss and thinning can be caused by various factors, including genetics (androgenetic alopecia), hormonal changes, medical conditions (e.g., thyroid disorders, alopecia areata), medications, stress, and poor nutrition.

The reversibility of hair loss depends on its cause. Hair loss due to stress, nutritional deficiencies, or certain medical conditions can often be reversed with proper treatment. Genetic hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) may not be fully reversible, but medications like minoxidil (Rogaine) or finasteride (Propecia) can slow progression and stimulate regrowth in many cases.

Shedding 50–100 hairs per day is considered normal. If you notice excessive hair loss, thinning, or bald patches, it’s worth consulting a specialist to determine the underlying cause.

Yes, stress can trigger hair loss conditions like telogen effluvium, where hair enters a resting phase prematurely. This type of hair loss is often temporary and resolves once stress is managed.

Treatments vary based on the cause and may include:
Topical Medications: Minoxidil (Rogaine)
Oral Medications: Finasteride (Propecia), Dutasteride, Spironlactone, Minoxidil
