Hair thinning can have hormonal, nutritional, genetic, inflammatory, or medication-related causes. Identifying the likely cause is the first step toward an appropriate plan.
Start with an evaluation
A provider may review symptom timing, family history, recent health changes, and relevant laboratory results.
Hormone therapy may be one part of care for some patients, but it is not the answer for every type of hair loss.
Set realistic expectations
Hair growth cycles are slow, so meaningful changes generally need to be evaluated over time.
A consultation gives your provider time to review your goals, health history, current medications, and the options that may fit your needs. Your plan should always be individualized.
