Hair Loss Profile

Comprehensive Blood Test to Identify the Root Causes of Hair Loss

Hair loss can be caused by a variety of underlying health issues—including vitamin deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or thyroid disorders. The Hair Loss Profile is a detailed blood test designed to help uncover the cause of hair thinning, shedding, or bald patches by evaluating key nutritional, hormonal, and general health markers.

Why Take This Test?

This test is ideal for individuals who are:

Experiencing sudden or gradual hair loss

Noticing thinning hair, bald patches, or weakened hair growth

Dealing with family history of hair loss

Wanting to understand the health of their hair from the inside out

Looking to tailor effective treatments or lifestyle changes

What’s Measured?

🔋 Vitamins & Minerals

Zinc: Crucial for hair protein synthesis; low levels can lead to hair loss and weakened nails

Vitamin D: Supports hair follicle health; linked to conditions like alopecia areata

Vitamin B12 & Folate (B9): Important for red blood cell production and hair follicle regeneration

Ferritin: Measures iron storage in the body; low ferritin is a common cause of female hair loss

🧬 Hormonal Markers

TSH & Free T4: Evaluates thyroid function—imbalances can cause thinning or patchy hair loss

Testosterone: Both high and low levels may lead to hair loss due to DHT (dihydrotestosterone) conversion, particularly in male pattern baldness

🧪 Screening & General Health

Full Blood Count (FBC): Provides a comprehensive look at your blood health, identifying signs of anemia or systemic issues

Biochemistry Panel: Offers insight into overall organ function and nutrient levels, which can impact hair growth and health

When to Get Tested

Consider this profile if you’re experiencing:

Unexplained or persistent hair loss

Symptoms of nutrient deficiency (e.g. fatigue, brittle nails, poor immunity)

Thyroid-related issues or hormonal fluctuations

A desire to create a personalised hair health plan based on real data
