Hair Loss Consultation & Assessment

Physician-led hair loss evaluation including clinical scalp assessment, trichological analysis, and discussion of the full range of medical and procedural treatment options available at the clinic.

Effective hair loss management begins with accurate diagnosis, and The Clifford Clinic's hair loss consultation is designed to establish the underlying cause before recommending any treatment. Hair loss has multiple aetiologies — androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium triggered by illness or nutritional deficiency, hormonal factors, scarring alopecia, and thyroid dysfunction among others — and the treatment approach differs significantly between them. During the consultation, the physician reviews the patient's medical and family history, examines the pattern and distribution of hair loss on the scalp, and assesses the donor zone density and hair calibre. The clinic also offers TrichoTest DNA analysis — a genetic test that maps individual susceptibility to androgenetic hair loss and predicts the likely response to specific pharmacological treatments including minoxidil and finasteride — allowing the physician to build a personalised medical management plan from the outset. For patients with early to moderate hair thinning who are not yet ready for or interested in a transplant, the clinic offers several in-clinic therapeutic options: laser hair rejuvenation, HydraFacial Keravive for scalp health, exosome therapy to stimulate follicle activity, PRP scalp injections, and Regenera Activa. These are reviewed and matched to the diagnosis during the consultation. For patients with more advanced loss where follicle transplant is appropriate, the consultation includes graft count estimation, hairline design planning, and a surgical quote. Photographs are taken at the consultation and at follow-up visits to track progress objectively. The clinic also sells Growell 5% scalp lotion as a topical adjunct to medical management for applicable cases.
