Medical hair loss

Understanding hair loss, and what care can look like.

Pattern hair loss is one of the most common reasons people come to us, and it is a medical condition, not a grooming problem. It develops gradually, it follows a recognisable pattern, and it is handled the way any other condition is handled.

How hair growth works

What happens in pattern hair loss.

Hair grows, rests and sheds in a cycle that repeats for years. In pattern hair loss that cycle shortens over time, and the hairs that return are finer.

The hair cycle

Each follicle goes through a growth phase, a short transition and a rest before the hair sheds and a new one starts. In common pattern hair loss the growth phase shortens over time and the hairs that return are finer.

What shortens the cycle

Why hairs come back finer

With each round the growth phase gets a little shorter, so the follicle produces a finer hair. The change is gradual and follows a recognisable pattern, which is why clinicians ask about it early.

The DHT pathway

Why follicles shrink

DHT is a hormone made in the body. In people sensitive to it, DHT slowly shrinks scalp follicles, and that is the mechanism behind common pattern hair loss.

Ongoing care

Why care is planned as ongoing

Pattern hair loss is ongoing, so care is planned as ongoing rather than as a short course. Women and men are assessed differently, and pregnancy, breastfeeding or plans for a pregnancy change what a clinician can consider.

Before anything is decided

What the assessment covers.

Pattern hair loss follows a recognisable pattern, which is what makes it assessable. Here is what a clinician looks at before any decision is made.

Start free assessment

Free to start. You only pay if a clinician prescribes.

Not sure where to start? The assessment takes a few minutes and a licensed Canadian clinician decides.

01
Your pattern and your stage
Where the thinning is, how long it has been going on, and how it has changed. Photographs help here.
02
Family and health history
What runs in your family, thyroid and iron levels where they are relevant, and any recent illness, stress or weight change.
03
Pregnancy and planning
Pregnancy, breastfeeding or plans for a pregnancy change what a clinician can consider, so the assessment asks directly.
04
What happens next
A clinician licensed in your province reviews everything and decides what, if anything, is appropriate. If there is a plan, it is reviewed at your follow-ups.

Self-check

Which stage are you?

Pattern loss moves through recognisable stages. Slide through them and see which picture looks familiar.

Stage 1 · Full density

Hairline and crown look consistent. Shedding 50 to 100 hairs a day is completely normal.

UNDERSTANDING HAIR LOSS

It's common, it's gradual, and it follows a pattern.

Most hair thinning happens slowly and in recognisable stages. Knowing roughly where you are is what lets a clinician build the right plan for you.

Your hair runs on a cycle.

Every follicle grows for a period of years, then rests and resets. Pattern loss shortens that cycle a little more each round, which is why clinicians ask about it early. Care plans are built around your history and your current stage.

Hair loss 101

A licensed clinician reviews your history and your stage before deciding whether prescription treatment is appropriate for you. If prescribed, your plan is reviewed at your follow-ups and you can message your care team at any time. A prescription is never guaranteed, and individual results vary.

Every prescription option has potential side effects, and your clinician reviews the specifics of anything prescribed for you before you start. Tell your clinician if you are pregnant or may become pregnant, as it changes what can be considered.

Your clinician sets a follow-up schedule with you after your assessment and reviews your plan at each check-in. You can message your care team at any time between reviews, and adjusting your plan is included.

Your plan

Yes. Hair loss is common in women too, and women are assessed the same way. Some options are not suitable for anyone who is or may become pregnant, which your clinician screens for at assessment.

Message your clinician any time. Adjusting your plan or switching approach is included at no extra cost. You are never locked in.

Completely. The whole process is online, and everything ships in plain, unmarked packaging.

No. Your assessment is reviewed by a clinician licensed in your province, and everything happens online.
