About Hair Loss Treatment
Assessment and personalised care for thinning hair and shedding.
Thinning hair, a widening part or increased shedding can affect how you feel about your appearance. At Nathan Skin Hair & Laser Centre in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur, you can arrange a consultation with Dr Ruban Nathan to assess your hair and scalp concerns and discuss an appropriate treatment plan.
Understanding the cause of hair loss
Hair loss has several possible causes. Hereditary male and female pattern hair loss, temporary shedding after illness or stress, nutritional problems and conditions affecting the scalp can require different approaches. An assessment helps distinguish shedding from progressive thinning and guides the next step.
Tell your dermatologist when the changes began, whether they are sudden or gradual, and about any scalp symptoms, recent illness, medicines or family history of hair loss. Further investigations may be recommended where clinically appropriate.
Hair loss treatment options
Treatment depends on the diagnosis, your medical history and your goals. Your dermatologist may discuss topical treatments, prescription medicines or management of an underlying condition. Medicines have potential side effects and are not suitable for everyone; suitability should be assessed before treatment begins.
For some people, a hair transplant using FUE or FUT may be an option. Surgery is a separate decision that requires an assessment of factors such as the pattern of hair loss and available donor hair. A consultation can help you understand how medical treatment and surgical restoration differ.
A plan tailored to your concerns
Discuss what matters most to you, whether that is increased shedding, a receding hairline or changes in hair density. Ask about the aim of each proposed treatment, its possible risks, ongoing care and the costs involved before deciding how to proceed.
Follow-up allows your dermatologist to review your response and discuss whether the plan needs to change. Hair growth is gradual, results vary and some treatments require continued use to maintain their benefit.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a hair transplant for hair loss?
Not necessarily. Some types of hair loss can be managed without surgery. Establishing the cause is the first step; a transplant is suitable only for selected people.
Can both men and women seek treatment?
Yes. Both can seek an assessment for thinning or shedding, but the causes and suitable treatment options may differ.
How quickly will I see a change?
Hair treatments take time. Your dermatologist can explain the expected review period for the specific treatment being considered. No treatment can guarantee regrowth.
When should I arrange an assessment?
Arrange an assessment if hair loss worries you. Mention sudden or patchy loss, scalp discomfort or other symptoms when booking so the clinic can advise you about an appointment.
