Patterned hair loss is a progressive condition in which hair thins in a specific pattern. In men, it typically begins with receding hair at the temples and thinning on top, while in women hair loss is usually more diffuse and gradual. At Define Clinic, our dermatologists assess each patient individually to identify the type and underlying cause of hair loss, whether genetic, hormonal, autoimmune or related to other health factors.
A consultation with one of our dermatologists is recommended to determine the most appropriate hair loss treatment approach for your individual situation.
Patterned hair loss may be associated with:
Is patterned hair loss permanent? This depends on the underlying cause and how early treatment is initiated. A dermatologist assessment is recommended to discuss management options suitable for your situation.
What is a hair thinning panel? A hair thinning panel is a blood test used to investigate potential underlying causes of hair loss, including hormonal, nutritional and autoimmune factors. Our dermatologists may recommend this as part of your initial assessment at Define Clinic.
Is hair loss treatment covered by Medicare? Some consultations with our dermatologist may be eligible for a Medicare rebate. We recommend contacting the clinic directly to discuss your individual circumstances.
At Define Dermatology and Aesthetics, every conversation matters, and no concern is too small.
