Hair Fall Screening (Men and Women)

Blood tests that look for common causes of hair fall, such as low iron, low vitamins or thyroid changes. Blood sample, 5 tests.

Hair fall often has a cause inside the body, such as low iron stores, low vitamins or a thyroid change, and all of these show up in a blood test. Finding the cause first means you can treat it properly, whether that's a supplement, a specialist or a hair treatment such as PRP. Suitable for men and women.
