What Causes Hair Loss?
Hair loss (alopecia) can affect the scalp or the entire body. It can be temporary or permanent and has many possible causes, including genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, medications, stress, and ageing. The most common type is androgenetic alopecia — male or female pattern baldness — which is genetic and affects millions of people.
Other common causes include telogen effluvium (temporary shedding after stress or illness), alopecia areata (an autoimmune condition), thyroid disorders, nutritional deficiencies, and scalp infections. Identifying the specific cause is essential for effective treatment.
Who Gets Hair Loss?
Hair loss affects people of all ages and genders:
- Men: Male pattern baldness affects up to 50% of men by age 50.
- Women: Female pattern hair loss is common, especially after menopause.
- Young adults: Stress-related shedding and alopecia areata can affect people in their 20s and 30s.
- Postpartum women: Hormonal changes after pregnancy can cause temporary hair loss.
- People with medical conditions: Thyroid disease, anaemia, and autoimmune conditions can cause hair loss.
Hair Loss Treatment Options at Lovina Clinic
1. Diagnosis. The doctor will examine your scalp, review your medical history, and may recommend blood tests to check for nutritional deficiencies, hormone levels, or thyroid function.
2. Treatment. Options depend on the underlying cause:
- Topical medications: Minoxidil is applied to the scalp to stimulate hair growth and slow thinning.
- Oral medications: Finasteride for men reduces the hormone that causes hair follicle shrinkage.
- Nutritional supplements: Iron, vitamin D, zinc, and biotin supplements if deficiencies are detected.
- Medical therapy: Treatment for underlying conditions such as thyroid disease or scalp infections.
- Lifestyle advice: Stress management, gentle hair care routines, and dietary adjustments.
Pain Level
Hair loss treatment is painless. Topical medications are applied at home like a regular hair product. Oral medications are taken as pills. Blood tests involve a brief needle prick. There is no discomfort associated with the treatment itself.
Results Timeline
Hair growth is slow. It typically takes 3 to 6 months of consistent treatment to see visible results. Full results may take 12 months or longer. It is important to continue treatment as prescribed, even if you do not see immediate changes. Stopping treatment may reverse any progress made.
Cost of Hair Loss Treatment in Malaysia
Treatment costs depend on the underlying cause and the medications prescribed. Topical minoxidil is affordable and available over the counter. Oral medications and blood tests cost more. At Lovina Clinic, we provide a full cost estimate before starting any treatment.
