At Brisbane West Dermatology, we aim to diagnose and treat hair loss by identifying its cause and providing tailored solutions

Hair loss, referred to as Alopecia, can manifest as thinning, shedding, bald patches, or a receding hairline. It may develop gradually or occur suddenly and can be especially distressing when it happens unexpectedly. The causes of sudden hair loss are varied and can include conditions like temporary shedding or autoimmune disorders such as alopecia areata. Hair loss can happen at any age and may result from a range of factors, including genetics, autoimmune conditions, stress, infections, medications, hormonal imbalances, or other underlying health issues. Accurate diagnosis is crucial to ensure the correct treatment approach for everyone’s specific type of hair loss. Treatment options vary and may include lifestyle changes, specialised products, topical treatments, injectable therapies, or oral medications.
