Loss of hair (termed alopecia) is not a simple concept and can come under many different headings. Males and females are affected and there are many common causes. Most disorders of the hair and scalp can be quickly identified and treated before the hair follicle has been destroyed. As a trichologist, I specialise in treating the cause as well as the signs and symptoms.
It may take a microscopic investigation or mineral analysis to find the cause of the problem, but for most it is an imbalance that can be easily corrected.
