Condition

Hair Loss

Hair loss (alopecia) is common but the causes vary widely. There are many different types of hair loss, including:

  • Androgenetic alopecia (genetic pattern hair loss)
  • Telogen effluvium (stress-related shedding)
  • Autoimmune hair loss (like alopecia areata)
  • Hormonal-related hair loss
  • Nutritional deficiency-related hair loss (iron, protein, etc.)
  • Scarring (cicatricial) vs non-scarring hair loss‍

Some types are temporary. Others are progressive. Some require early intervention to prevent permanent loss. That is why diagnosis matters.

At wellwell, we focus on identifying the type and cause so your treatment actually works.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what type of hair loss I have?

That is exactly what we determine during your visit. History, photos, and sometimes labs help us identify the cause.

Will I need lab work?

Often, yes. Labs help uncover underlying causes like iron deficiency, thyroid issues, or hormonal imbalances.

Is hair loss reversible?

Some types are fully reversible, especially when caught early. Others can be slowed or stabilized significantly.

How long does treatment take to work?

Hair growth takes time. Most patients see improvement in 3 to 6 months, with continued progress over time.

What if my hair loss is autoimmune or scarring?

Early diagnosis is critical. These types require targeted treatment, and we guide you appropriately, including referrals when needed.

Can stress or hormones cause hair loss?

Yes. Stress, hormonal changes, thyroid conditions, nutritional deficiencies, and certain medications can all contribute to hair shedding or thinning.

When should I see a provider about hair loss?

If you notice sudden shedding, widening parts, thinning patches, scalp irritation, or ongoing hair loss that does not improve, it’s important to get evaluated early to identify the cause and prevent progression.

Do over the counter products work?

Some can help, but many patients need a more targeted, medical approach for real results.
