Diagnosis · Trichoscopy · Personalized treatment
Understand the cause before treating the loss.
Your assessment combines medical history, examination and diagnostic trichoscopy to create a personalized plan for male or female hair loss.
The Luxury approach
01 — UnderstandAn informed decision
starts here.
Hair loss is not one diagnosis. It may be related to androgenetic alopecia, shedding disorders, inflammation, autoimmune processes, medicines, hormonal changes, deficiencies or other conditions. Consultation therefore begins by identifying the pattern, timeline and factors that may be involved.
Trichoscopy provides a magnified view of the scalp and hair shafts. Its findings are interpreted with your history and examination; it does not replace a biopsy or laboratory testing when specific signs make those tests appropriate.
This page provides guidance but does not diagnose or replace a consultation. The final recommendation depends on a professional assessment.
What we can assess
Clear goals.
A proportionate plan.
Each goal is reviewed separately to avoid unnecessary treatment and organize options with realistic expectations.
Personalize treatment
Select topical, oral or complementary options according to cause, age, sex, history and reproductive context.
Measure progression
Document findings and compare density, caliber, tolerance and progression at scheduled reviews.
Clinical assessment
Before recommending,
we need to ask.
A responsible consultation does not begin with a procedure. It begins by identifying needs, medical history, limitations and alternatives.
Book a consultation on WhatsApp →- 01
Onset, speed and distribution of hair loss; family history and recent events.
- 02
Examination of the scalp, hair shaft, eyebrows, nails and related areas when relevant.
- 03
Trichoscopy to review miniaturization, caliber variation, density and signs of inflammation or scarring.
- 04
Medicines, medical conditions, nutrition, physiologic stress and hormonal changes; testing only when the history supports it.
Your experience

to follow-up.
Listen
We reconstruct when the loss began, how it has changed and which treatments have been tried.
Examine
Clinical examination and trichoscopy look for patterns and signs that guide the diagnosis.
Personalize
We explain options, limitations, adverse effects and realistic goals before beginning a plan.
Compare
Consented clinical photography and follow-up help adjust the plan using evidence of progression.
Before deciding
Who may be
a candidate?
Candidacy is not determined by a photograph or a trend. These are general guidelines and must always be confirmed during a consultation.
- Men or women with progressive thinning, a receding hairline, widening part or reduced density.
- People with diffuse shedding, recurrent episodes or an insufficient response to previous treatment.
- Patients who want to confirm the diagnosis before starting medicines or procedures.
- Those considering transplantation who first need to assess the stability of their hair loss.
- Severe pain, discharge, fever or an active infection requiring priority care.
- Rapid loss with inflammation, crusting or scarring signs without a complete dermatologic evaluation.
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding or possibility of pregnancy when medicines unsuitable in that context are being considered.
- Expectations of one identical solution for every cause or guaranteed regrowth.
Safety and expectations
Treatment follows the cause—not the symptom alone.
No hair medicine or procedure is right for everyone. Indication, dose, monitoring and clinical context must be individualized.
Minoxidil, finasteride and other medicines have contraindications and adverse effects that require review.
Selection for women needs particular attention to pregnancy, breastfeeding and possibility of pregnancy.
Visible change commonly takes months; clinical photographs and adherence help interpret the response.
If examination suggests scarring, autoimmune or another form of alopecia, testing or dermatology referral may be needed.
Frequently asked questions
03 — Answer questionsInformation before
your consultation.
01What is trichoscopy?
It is a magnified examination of the scalp and hair with a dermatoscope or digital system. It helps identify patterns but is interpreted with your history and examination.
02Does everyone need laboratory testing?
No. Tests are requested when history or findings suggest anemia, thyroid or hormonal changes, deficiencies or another systemic cause.
03Are male and female hair loss treated the same way?
Not always. They may share mechanisms, but pattern, associated causes and medication choices require individual assessment.
04Will the consultation tell me if I need a transplant?
It can show whether surgery deserves further evaluation. An FUE consultation also reviews stability, donor area, design and achievable coverage.
