Overview
Treating the cause, not just the symptom
Hair loss affects millions of people and has a significant impact on self-confidence and wellbeing. Before any treatment, it's essential to identify the correct cause — androgenetic alopecia, hormonal imbalance (thyroid, testosterone, iron deficiency), telogen effluvium or other causes each require different approaches.
At Metovia we conduct a thorough clinical assessment and blood panel before prescribing, ensuring you get the right treatment — not just the most popular one.
📋 Causes we investigate
- Androgenetic alopecia (genetic pattern hair loss)
- Thyroid dysfunction (hypothyroid/hyperthyroid)
- Iron deficiency anaemia
- Hormonal imbalance (testosterone, DHT, oestrogen)
- Telogen effluvium (stress/illness-related shedding)
- Nutritional deficiencies (zinc, biotin, vitamin D)
💉 Treatment options
- Minoxidil topical (men & women)
- Oral minoxidil (low-dose, supervised)
- Finasteride 1mg (men — androgenetic alopecia)
- Dutasteride (off-label for resistant cases)
- Hormonal optimisation where indicated
- Referral for PRP or transplant where appropriate
📚 Evidence base
Prescribing is guided by BAD (British Association of Dermatologists) guidelines on alopecia, NICE evidence reviews on minoxidil and finasteride, and emerging evidence on low-dose oral minoxidil. We only prescribe after confirming diagnosis — we do not issue finasteride or dutasteride without a clinical consultation.
