Frequently asked: General Hair Thinning
Several possibilities: telogen effluvium (temporary stress-related shedding), nutritional deficiencies (iron, vitamin D, zinc), hormonal shifts, certain medications, hypothyroidism, or early pattern hair loss. Blood tests and dermatological evaluation should come before considering transplant.
Normal: 50–100 hairs/day. Concerning: noticeable thinning visible to others, expanding part line, hair feeling less dense to the touch, or shedding 200+ hairs/day for more than 3 months. See a dermatologist or trichologist for workup.
For early diffuse thinning, yes — PRP + minoxidil should be first-line. Transplant is appropriate when thinning is advanced, when non-surgical approaches have failed, or when specific zones (hairline, parting) need density restoration despite overall thinning.
