Understanding Hair Loss

Hair loss is very common. It’s normal to lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day. For some people, hair loss is temporary and improves over time. For others, it can be ongoing, such as male or female pattern hair loss, which often runs in families. While hair loss is not usually serious, it can be distressing. Understanding the cause helps determine the most effective hair loss treatment for you.

Causes of Hair Thinning & Hair Fall

Hair thinning and hair fall can happen for many reasons, including:
  • Genetics (male or female pattern hair loss).
  • Stress or illness.
  • Weight loss or nutritional deficiencies (such as low iron).
  • Hormonal changes.
  • Certain medications or medical treatments.

Our pharmacists can help you decide whether pharmacy-based support is suitable or if further medical advice is needed.

What to Expect
at Your Appointment

  • Private consultation with a pharmacist
  • Assessment of your symptoms
  • Clear recovery plan and guidance

Hair Loss in Men and Women

Hair loss can affect men and women in different ways, which is why a tailored approach matters.
  • In men, hair loss often begins at the temples or crown and may gradually progress over time.
  • In women, hair loss usually appears as general thinning, particularly along the parting, rather than bald patches.

At Periville Pharmacy, our pharmacists consider these differences to provide clear advice and help you choose options that suit your scalp health and lifestyle.

Hair Loss Treatment Options

There’s no single solution that works for everyone, but treatment may help depending on the cause. We can advise on hair loss treatment for men and women where clinically appropriate, including
  • Topical treatments.
  • Advice on lifestyle and nutrition.
  • Guidance on expectations and realistic outcomes.
It’s important to know that treatments usually only work while they’re being used, and results vary from person to person.

What Happens During Your Hair Loss Consultation

Hair loss treatments take time and consistency. Our pharmacists will:
  • Talk through your symptoms and concerns.
  • Explain suitable treatment options clearly.
  • Discuss realistic results and timelines.
  • Talk through hair loss treatment cost.
If your hair loss may be linked to an underlying health condition, we’ll guide you on when to see a GP.

  • Clear guidance on the best hair loss treatment options.
  • Advice tailored to men and women.
  • Honest conversations about effectiveness and costs.
