Female Pattern Baldness - Diagnosis

Step 1: 30-45 Minutes Consultation – Female pattern baldness is usually diagnosed based on the appearance and pattern of hair loss. However, a detailed investigation is done with regards to your medical history, lifestyle and prevalence of hair loss in your family. This helps us understand the root cause of your hair loss and suggest customized treatment that best suits your problem.

Step 2: Medical Diagnosis – Our doctors conduct a non-invasive video-microscopy test, which magnifies the hair follicle and scalp up to 200 times. It helps us identify the condition & thickness of hair strands, density of hair on the scalp as well as condition of your scalp.

It takes just 10 minutes for completing this test.

If required blood tests are recommended to confirm the diagnosis.
