With personalised solutions that include PRF therapy, specialised product treatments, and expert advice on hair care and lifestyle changes, we stimulate hair growth, strengthen follicles, and improve overall scalp health.
What is Hair Loss?
Hair loss is a common yet deeply personal concern, affecting individuals of all genders. While hair thinning and shedding are often associated with ageing, hair loss can also be triggered by a wide range of factors, including genetics, stress, hormonal imbalances, and underlying health conditions. Hair loss can manifest gradually or suddenly, leading to thinning, bald patches, or more widespread shedding, and may affect the scalp or even areas like the eyebrows or eyelashes.
At the root of hair loss lies the disruption of the normal hair growth cycle. Hormonal shifts - such as those occurring during pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid issues are a frequent cause. Additionally, conditions like alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder, can result in unpredictable hair loss. Other contributing factors include poor nutrition, certain medications, and external stressors like tight hairstyles or harsh chemical treatments.
Hair loss can have a profound impact on a person’s self-esteem and emotional well-being, as it often affects one’s appearance and sense of identity. Early intervention is key in managing and treating hair loss, whether it involves addressing the underlying causes or employing targeted therapies to stimulate regrowth and maintain healthy hair.
Our personalised treatment plans are designed to target the specific causes of your hair loss, helping to restore not only your hair but also your confidence. With the right approach, hair loss can be managed effectively, offering hope for fuller, healthier hair.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes hair loss?
Hair loss can occur for various reasons, including genetics (hereditary hair thinning or baldness), hormonal changes (such as during pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid disorders), medical conditions (like alopecia areata or scalp infections), stress, nutritional deficiencies, and certain medications. In men, male pattern baldness is often the leading cause, while women may experience hair thinning due to hormonal fluctuations.
What types of acne are there?
Acne can range from mild to severe. The main types include:
- Whiteheads: Closed, clogged pores.
- Blackheads: Open, clogged pores.
- Papules: Small, inflamed bumps.
- Pustules: Pimples with pus at the tip.
- Nodules: Large, painful lumps beneath the skin.
- Cysts: Deep, pus-filled lumps that can lead to scarring.
Can stress cause hair loss?
Yes, high levels of stress can trigger a condition known as telogen effluvium, where hair prematurely enters the resting phase of the hair growth cycle. This can cause noticeable hair shedding, but it is typically temporary and resolves once the underlying stress is managed.
What treatments are available for hair loss at Dr. D Cosmetics?
We offer a range of treatments designed to address hair loss, including:
- Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF): This treatment stimulates hair follicles using your own body’s healing factors to encourage new hair growth.
- LED Light Therapy: This non-invasive therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate hair follicles and promote regrowth.
- Medical-grade Hair Products: Specialised shampoos, serums, and topical treatments that target thinning hair and support scalp health.
- Ingestible Beauty Supplements: Nutritional support from within, using vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants designed to improve hair health.
How does PRF work for hair loss?
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a natural regenerative treatment that involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, fibrin, and growth factors, and then injecting it into areas of thinning hair. These growth factors help stimulate inactive hair follicles and promote healthy hair growth over time.
Are there any side effects with hair loss treatments?
Most hair loss treatments, such as PRF and LED therapy, have minimal side effects. You may experience some redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treatment area, but these usually subside within a day or two. As with any treatment, it’s essential to discuss your medical history and any concerns during your consultation.
How long does it take to see results?
Results vary depending on the individual and the treatment used. PRF and LED therapy often require a series of sessions over several months to see significant improvement. Hair growth is a gradual process, so patience and consistency with treatment are key. Visible results usually start to appear within 3 to 6 months.
Can hair loss be prevented?
While genetic factors may not be preventable, maintaining a healthy scalp, reducing stress, and ensuring proper nutrition can help reduce the risk of hair loss. Early intervention with appropriate treatments can also help slow or reverse hair thinning.
Is hair loss in women different from men?
Yes, women typically experience hair thinning, especially at the top of the scalp, rather than the receding hairline or bald spots seen in men. Hormonal factors, such as pregnancy, menopause, and birth control, can play a significant role in female hair loss. Treatments are customised to address these differences.
When should I seek professional help for hair loss?
If you notice sudden or excessive hair shedding, patches of baldness, or thinning that concerns you, it’s best to seek advice from a professional. Early diagnosis and treatment can often yield better results and help prevent further hair loss.
