Hair Fall SOS Roadmap
Stop daily shedding, thicken density, and know exactly when to escalate to regenerative medicine.
This guide explains the most common triggers we diagnose in clinic, the lab markers worth checking, evidence-backed at-home upgrades, and how PRP, exosomes, or Regenera® micro-grafts fit into your plan.
Understand your shedding windows
Keep a two-week shed diary noting how many strands you lose on pillowcases, in the shower drain, and while brushing. Sudden spikes help us spot telogen effluvium versus gradual androgenic thinning.
Labs to screenshot
- Ferritin, serum iron, transferrin saturation
- Thyroid panel (TSH, FT3/FT4)
- B12, folate, vitamin D
- High-sensitivity CRP + fasting insulin
Bring the lab PDF to your consultation so we can plot them against symptom timelines.
Build a 12-week at-home plan
Layer scalp nutrition (microneedling + peptide serums), inflammation control (ketoconazole shampoo + red light) and stress rituals. Document weekly photos using the same lighting so micro wins are obvious.
Pro tip: book a quick check-in at week 6 even if you're not ready for injections. Adjusting supplements early prevents wasted months.
When to escalate to clinic care
If you're still shedding heavily after 12 weeks or seeing widening parts, it's time to add regenerative medicine:
1. Dual-spin PRP for early thinning or postpartum recovery.
2. Exosome boosters when density goals stall.
3. Regenera® micro-grafts for receding temples or scars.
Pair treatments with maintenance LED and lifestyle tweaks to lock in regrowth.
INSIGHT
Spot the dominant trigger
Multiple factors can snowball into thinning. Work through the fast checks below before you panic-buy supplements.
Nutrient gaps & ferritin dips
Order ferritin, serum iron, B12, vitamin D, thyroid panel, and inflammatory markers (CRP). Ferritin below 70 ng/mL, even when 'within range', often correlates with diffuse shedding. We pair micronutrient therapy with PRP only after these labs are corrected.
Hormone or medication shifts
Note any new contraception, PCOS flare, post-partum hormonal crash, or finasteride/intake changes within the last 3–6 months. Stress hormones like cortisol spike telogen effluvium too.
Mechanical + inflammatory triggers
Look for seborrhoeic dermatitis, psoriasis plaques, tight hairstyles, or constant heat styling. Calm inflammation first with prescription topicals before high-yield PRP.
INSIGHT
At-home upgrades that actually matter
Use a layered approach for 12 weeks before assessing progress.
Daily scalp nutrition
Microneedling once weekly (1.5 mm max), peptide-rich serums, and caffeine/polynucleotide tonics boost blood flow. Pair with protein-forward meals and omega-3 intake.
Inflammation control
Use medicated shampoo twice weekly for micro-inflammation, plus LED red light (630–660 nm) 10 minutes daily to extend the growth phase.
Lifestyle stabilisers
Aim for 7.5+ hours sleep, resistance training 2x weekly, and guided breathing. Stress hormones directly shorten anagen cycles.
INSIGHT
When to book regenerative treatments
Clinic therapies compress timelines when lifestyle changes are not enough.
Dual-spin PRP
Ideal for early thinning or post-partum shedding. We deliver three sessions, four weeks apart, using meso-gun coverage and LED boosts. Expect visible density at week 12.
Exosome or polynucleotide boosters
Bioactive exosomes accelerate regrowth in stubborn zones; polynucleotides calm inflamed scalps and enhance shine.
Regenera® micro-grafts
For receding temples or long-standing patches, micro-grafts supply progenitor cells and matrix proteins. Combine with maintenance PRP every six months.
