Hair growth disorders include excessive hair growth in unwanted areas (e.g. women's beards) or abnormal hair loss, which ultimately leads to baldness, as well as changes in hair quality. The causes of these disorders are complex; they are usually hereditary or due to hormonal interactions.
The symptoms depend on the disorder – too much or too little hair growth and can affect the whole body.
In our hair consultation, we carefully clarify the causes of the hair growth disorder by looking at the hair shaft and, if necessary, taking small scalp samples to carry out special histological examinations.
Once the diagnosis has been confirmed, various treatments—depending on whether they have an antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory component—may be considered, including medicated shampoos, hair growth products, and, in rare cases, medications or hair removal using an epilation laser device. We also offer advice on hair care and medical hair treatments.
In special cases – if the hair growth disorder is hormonal – we work with the gynecology clinic to determine the most suitable treatment for you.
