Hair loss is investigated, not assumed. Dr. Chopade reviews your history, pattern of shedding, and where relevant, basic bloodwork, before recommending a treatment path — because treating pattern hair loss and treating a nutritional deficiency require entirely different plans.
Finding the actual cause first
Sudden diffuse shedding a few months after illness, childbirth, or a stressful period usually points to telogen effluvium, which often recovers once the trigger passes. A slowly widening part line or receding hairline suggests pattern hair loss, which needs sustained treatment to hold and rebuild density. Patchy, well-defined bald spots are a different condition again. Basic blood tests — thyroid, iron, vitamin D — frequently uncover a treatable contributor that no serum or supplement bought online would fix.
How hair loss is treated at Skin Therapeutics
Depending on the cause, treatment may include prescription therapy, PRP (platelet-rich plasma) sessions to stimulate follicles, or a referral for further workup where an underlying medical cause is suspected. Hair cycles are slow, so plans are set with honest timelines: most patients need three to six months of consistent treatment before change is visible in the mirror, and progress is reviewed with photographs rather than guesswork.
