Thinning hair and diffuse loss means the hair becomes sparser and loses volume across a larger area, often without a clear bald spot. It can be harder to detect than a receding hairline because it creeps up gradually — many notice it first in photos or when the hair becomes see-through in strong light. The causes vary more than with classic pattern hair loss. It can be early androgenetic alopecia, but also nutritional deficiency (iron, vitamin D, zinc, protein), stress, thyroid disorders or hormonal changes. That is why the right diagnosis is crucial — the treatment differs completely depending on the cause. For thinning where the follicles are still alive but weakened, PRP treatment is often the first choice. By injecting concentrated blood plasma from your own blood, we stimulate the follicles, extend the growth phase and improve blood circulation in the scalp. Microneedling can be combined to enhance the effect. If the cause is nutritional deficiency, that is addressed first. With a hereditary basis, medication can complement. At a free consultation we measure hair density with a trichoscope and help you find the cause before suggesting treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about thinning hair and diffuse loss

Can thin hair become thick again?

If the follicles are alive, PRP, microneedling and the right nutrition can densify the hair and improve its structure. If the follicles have died, a transplant is needed. A trichoscope assessment shows which applies.

Is thinning hair always hereditary?

No. Thinning can also be due to iron deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, stress, thyroid or hormones. That is why the right diagnosis matters before choosing treatment.

Does PRP help against thinning hair?

Yes, PRP is often the first choice for thinning where the follicles are alive. It stimulates the follicles and extends the growth phase. The effect builds up over several treatments.
