30 Questions
Frequently asked questions about hair loss treatments
The answers are clearly worded and address exactly the topics that patients and prospective patients search for most often.
What are common causes of hair loss?
Common causes include genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, stress, nutrient deficiencies and certain medical conditions.
What is androgenetic hair loss?
This is hereditary hair loss that often begins gradually and develops over years.
What is diffuse hair loss?
Here the hair thins fairly evenly across larger areas.
When should hair loss be examined?
When the hair loss increases noticeably, lasts longer or bald patches appear.
Why is a diagnosis so important?
Because only with a clear cause can the right therapy be chosen.
Does PRP help with hair loss?
PRP can be particularly useful for early or diffuse hair loss.
How does PRP work?
Platelet-rich plasma is obtained from your own blood and injected precisely into the scalp.
How often is PRP performed?
Usually in several sessions at individually determined intervals.
When do you see the first results with PRP?
Often after a few weeks to a few months, depending on the findings.
Is PRP suitable for men and women?
Yes, provided the cause and the stage make it a good fit.
What is mesotherapy for hair loss?
Selected active ingredients are introduced into the scalp via microinjection.
When is mesotherapy useful?
Especially for diffuse, stress-related or early hair loss as a supporting treatment.
What does mesotherapy achieve?
It is intended to nourish the scalp locally and improve the conditions for existing hair.
What are polynucleotides?
Polynucleotides are regenerative active ingredients intended to support tissue quality and biological recovery.
When are polynucleotides of interest?
When you want a modern regenerative concept that goes beyond classic active-ingredient approaches.
Can PRP, mesotherapy and polynucleotides be combined?
Yes, depending on the diagnosis and treatment goal, a combination can make sense.
Can hair loss be treated without surgery?
Yes, in many early or diffuse cases a conservative therapy makes sense first.
Can hair loss be stopped completely?
Not always completely, but often slowed down noticeably or stabilized.
Can hair become denser again?
Where follicles are still active, the hair situation can improve.
How long do hair loss treatments take?
This is not a quick fix. Treatment is usually planned over several months.
Are several sessions necessary?
Yes, with almost all conservative hair treatments several appointments are the norm.
Are there side effects?
The treatments are usually well tolerated. Temporary redness or mild irritation is possible.
Does biotin help against hair loss?
Only useful if there is an actual deficiency.
Does diet play a role?
Yes, especially in cases of deficiencies or an unbalanced diet.
Can stress trigger hair loss?
Yes, severe or prolonged stress can be a trigger.
Is hair loss treatable in women?
Yes, there are various conservative treatment approaches for women too.
When is a therapy no longer enough?
When hair follicles are permanently lost, a purely restorative therapy may not be enough.
When is a hair transplant more sensible than therapy?
When bald areas exist and conservative measures can no longer be expected to have a sufficient effect.
How important is starting treatment early?
Very important, because early stages are usually easier to influence.
Which treatment is the best?
The best treatment is not the most expensive one, but the one that matches the cause, the stage and the patient's goal.
