When is a scalp or hair treatment needed?
Many hair problems develop gradually and are only noticed at a late stage. Do you recognise the symptoms below? Then it is wise to have the cause assessed at an early stage.
- Is your hair gradually becoming thinner?
- Do you see more hair in the shower or on your pillow?
- Do you have a sensitive or itchy scalp?
- Are bald patches or a receding hairline appearing?
- Do you suffer from eczema or flakes on your scalp?
The sooner the cause of hair loss or a scalp complaint is known, the more treatment options there are. Armeda Clinics helps you map this out clearly.
Early hair and scalp problems
Hair loss and scalp complaints come in various forms, in both men and women. The signs below are often the first indications.
Early baldness
A receding hairline or a thinning crown, often the first visible sign of hereditary hair loss in men.
Thinning hair
Reduced hair density across the entire scalp, a complaint that is common in women, among other things after pregnancy.
Scalp complaints
Itching, dandruff or eczema on the scalp can occur independently of hair loss, but can also aggravate an underlying cause.
Patchy hair loss
Bald patches that appear fairly suddenly, as with alopecia areata, call for a targeted assessment.
What causes hair loss?
Hair loss rarely has a single cause. During the intake we look at a combination of the factors below.
Heredity
Hereditary hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common cause of a receding hairline or a bald crown.
Hormones
Hormonal fluctuations, for example around pregnancy or the menopause, can cause temporary or long-term hair loss.
Stress
Prolonged stress or a major life event can disrupt the hair growth cycle and lead to diffuse hair loss caused by stress.
Scalp problems
Eczema, dandruff or a chronically itchy scalp can weaken the hair follicle and encourage hair loss.
Nutrition and general health
A shortage of certain nutrients or underlying health problems can have a negative effect on hair growth.
How we establish the cause
- Extensive hair analysis: hair density, scalp condition and type of hair loss mapped out
- A personal conversation about your complaints, medical background and lifestyle
- Tailored advice with a clear treatment plan
Why have it assessed early?
Hair loss that is recognised early leaves more scope to slow down or stop further deterioration. If you are unsure about the cause, an assessment quickly provides clarity.
The right treatment for your complaint
Depending on the cause and the extent of the hair loss, we propose a treatment plan. This ranges from non-surgical support to a hair transplant.
Mesotherapy & PRP
Targeted administration of active substances to stimulate hair growth and improve hair density.
Medical guidance
Ongoing advice and follow-up, so that you know which next steps suit your hair or scalp complaint.
Hair transplant
In the case of permanent baldness or a strongly receded hairline, an FUE or DHI hair transplant can offer a solution.
Hair transplant for women
An approach aimed specifically at diffuse hair loss and thinning hair in women.
What clients often ask us
In many cases the progression of hair loss can be slowed down or stopped, provided the cause is identified in time. The sooner you have this assessed, the more treatment options are available.
Mesotherapy can improve hair density and hair quality by administering active substances in a targeted way. Whether it is suitable for you depends on the underlying cause of your thinning hair.
Eczema on the scalp can weaken the hair follicle and thus contribute to hair loss, particularly if the complaint remains untreated for a long time. An assessment of the scalp often makes a great deal clear.
A hair transplant is usually an option when hair loss is permanent, for example with a far receded hairline or a bald crown. During a consultation we assess whether this is the right step for you.
Yes, prolonged stress can disrupt the hair growth cycle and lead to noticeable, often diffuse hair loss. This form is usually temporary, but it does deserve attention.
