Hair Loss
Hair loss ranges from inherited male-pattern thinning to temporary shedding driven by stress or deficiencies, so effective treatment depends first on identifying the underlying cause.
Clinic and treatment images
Tap to enlargeDo you recognise these signs?
If one or more of these applies to you, we recommend a dermatological assessment.
- Progressive thinning over the crown and front hairline in androgenetic loss
- Diffuse telogen shedding rising months after stress, illness or childbirth
- A clear increase of hair on the comb and pillow with visibly reduced density
- In some cases, discrete round bald patches indicating patchy area involvement
Causes and triggers
- Genetic predisposition and hormonal sensitivity underlying androgenetic loss
- Iron-ferritin, thyroid and vitamin D deficiencies triggering diffuse shedding
- Fever, surgery, rapid weight loss and severe stress acting as shock events
- Gut absorption problems and unbalanced diet reflected in the hair root
How we treat it
Trichoscopy to examine the hair root and density and define the type of loss
Detailed laboratory screening covering iron, ferritin, thyroid and vitamin D
Cause-directed topical and supportive treatments to regulate the hair cycle
Correcting deficiencies and gut absorption issues to underpin lasting results
Why Clinovia?
Psoriasis and eczema are not only a surface problem. We assess the skin barrier, inflammation, nutrition and lifestyle, comorbidities and dermatological treatment together. Evidence-based dermatology remains the backbone; nutrition and lifestyle support that plan.
The Gut–Skin Relationship
We review digestive symptoms, dietary pattern and food-sensitivity history. The link between gut microbiome and inflammatory skin disease is still being researched, so it is addressed alongside — never instead of — dermatological treatment.
Cortisone-Free Protocol
First-line calcineurin and PDE-4 inhibitors, ceramide-based barrier repair and phototherapy instead of steroids; systemic and biologic steps when needed.
Systemic Repair
Vitamin D, zinc, omega-3 and iron levels plus thyroid and insulin resistance are screened, and any deficits found are built into the plan.
Measurable Follow-up
PASI/EASI and DLQI scores are tracked alongside laboratory values; steps that do not deliver a response are removed from the plan.
That depends on the type of loss. Telogen shedding driven by stress, childbirth or a deficiency usually recovers once the cause is corrected. In genetic male-pattern thinning the aim is to preserve existing hair and slow the thinning. Trichoscopy and blood tests let us set expectations from the outset.
Hair loss often has low iron-ferritin, thyroid dysfunction, vitamin D deficiency or absorption problems behind it. Treatment given without seeing these remains incomplete. Laboratory screening lets us identify the correctable causes and build the treatment on that foundation.
Yes. For infant eczema and paediatric psoriasis we use age-appropriate topical stepping, a moisturising routine and, when indicated, paediatric phototherapy dosing.
Our standard protocols are cortisone-free. We work with topical calcineurin inhibitors, PDE-4 inhibitors, ceramide-based barrier repair, NB-UVB phototherapy and biologic agents when needed. Cortisone is considered only for very short, unavoidable situations and with the patient's consent.
Other conditions
VitiligoVitiligo is a chronic condition in which the immune system destroys the pigment-producing melanocytes, leaving sharply defined white patches on the skin.

Urticaria (Hives)Urticaria produces itchy, raised red weals that typically shift and fade within a day, sometimes with deeper swelling of the lips or eyelids, reflecting a hypersensitivity reaction.

Acne & RosaceaAcne and rosacea both show up as spots, redness and sensitivity on the face; though they look similar, their causes and treatments are quite different from one another.

PUVA & Targeted PhototherapyPUVA and targeted local units treat stubborn sites such as hands, feet and scalp with cortisone-free light. Dose and response are monitored throughout the course.

Systemic TherapySystemic drugs such as methotrexate, cyclosporine and acitretin are used in widespread or resistant psoriasis and eczema, alongside laboratory and safety monitoring.
