Hair Loss Treatment Online — Stop Thinning, Start Regrowing

• Oral treatment options (men): Doctor-reviewed options that can help slow hair loss and promote regrowth.
• Topical treatment options (men & women): Doctor-reviewed options that can improve hair growth.
• Combination therapy: Many men use both together for best results.
• Works best when started early, before significant loss
• Results take 6-12 months — hair grows slowly

Complete a quick questionnaire about your hair loss pattern, health history, and expectations. Upload photos of your hair (top and crown views helpful). Our doctor reviews and assesses whether treatment is appropriate. If suitable, treatment options are discussed and recommended.

Not all hair loss is the same, and understanding the type matters for treatment. Androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss) is by far the most common — it's genetic, progressive, and follows predictable patterns. In men, it typically starts with a receding hairline and thinning at the crown. In women, it usually presents as diffuse thinning across the top of the scalp. Other types of hair loss include alopecia areata (autoimmune, causing patchy loss), telogen effluvium (temporary shedding from stress, illness, or hormonal changes), and traction alopecia (from tight hairstyles). Telehealth treatment is most appropriate for androgenetic alopecia — other types may require in-person investigation.

Our telehealth assessment for hair loss involves a detailed questionnaire about your hair loss pattern, onset, family history, diet, stress levels, and overall health. We ask you to upload clear photos of your scalp from multiple angles — top, crown, hairline, and sides. The doctor uses these to assess the pattern and severity using established classification scales (Norwood for men, Ludwig for women). While this approach works well for pattern hair loss, there are limitations. Telehealth cannot replace dermoscopy (a specialised scalp examination), blood tests for iron, thyroid, or hormonal causes, or scalp biopsy for uncertain diagnoses. If your doctor suspects something other than pattern hair loss, they'll recommend in-person follow-up.

• Months 1-3: You may notice increased shedding initially — this is a normal part of the treatment cycle and not a sign it isn't working
• Months 3-6: Shedding typically stabilises. You may notice fewer hairs falling out, but visible regrowth isn't common yet
• Months 6-12: Gradual improvement in hair density and thickness. This is when most people start noticing meaningful changes
• Beyond 12 months: Continued improvement, with maximum benefit usually reached at 2 years of consistent daily use
• Stopping treatment: Hair loss resumes within 3-6 months of discontinuation. Treatment is ongoing, not a cure
