At our Scarsdale clinic, we provide expert-led evaluations and personalized treatment options designed to help you take control with clarity and confidence.
Why Is Hair Loss Happening?
A combination of internal and external factors can cause hair loss. Common contributors include:
- Genetics: Hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) is the most common form of hair loss in both men and women.
- Hormonal Shifts: This may include menopause, thyroid dysfunction, postpartum changes, testosterone therapy, or PCOS.
- Stress and Health Events: Physical illness, emotional stress, or surgery can lead to temporary hair shedding (telogen effluvium) that may linger.
- Nutritional Imbalances: Low iron, vitamin D, or protein levels can all impact the hair growth cycle.
- Medications or Medical Conditions: Autoimmune disorders and certain medications may trigger hair loss directly or as a side effect.
