Hair Loss: Biological Causes, Clinical Diagnosis and Holistic Treatment Protocols
As Medlook Polyclinic, we do not consider hair loss only as a cosmetic problem. “Health Inside, Beauty Outside” As a reflection of our motto, we consider hair loss as the body's call for help and plan the treatment by getting to the root cause. Our Founder Dr. Handan Yavuz Together with our medical aesthetic team and nutritionists, we take a multidisciplinary approach to stop hair loss and regain lost hair.
Hair Spillage
Hair Check Up
We reveal the root cause of your hair loss and scalp problems by examining them in detail with advanced analysis devices. By reporting the current condition of your hair with scientific data, evaluating genetic factors and your lifestyle, we create the most accurate treatment map for you and start the process.Detailed Information
Hair Mesotherapy
Stop hair loss at its source by delivering a cocktail of vitamins, minerals and amino acids needed by hair follicles directly under the skin. This method, which revitalizes weakened hair strands and nourishes the roots, helps you achieve thicker, shinier and healthier hair while improving hair quality.Detailed Information
Hair Mesotherapy with Golden Needle
Maximize the effectiveness and absorption of mesotherapy serums with the micro-channeling technology of gold needles. The controlled heat energy transmitted under the skin activates dormant follicles and increases blood circulation, while nourishing ingredients penetrate deeper and accelerate the hair growth process.Detailed Information
PRP Hair Treatment
Repair your hair follicles and start the natural regeneration process with rich growth factors derived from your own blood. This proven biological treatment, which triggers cell regeneration, thickens thinning strands, slows down hair loss and improves the quality of the scalp, giving your hair back its former strength.Detailed Information
PDO Hair Mesotherapy
Mechanically stimulate the hair follicles with special strands placed on the scalp and provide a long-lasting biological support. By creating a network structure under the skin, this method keeps the blood circulation constantly alive, allowing the follicles to be better nourished and the hair to grow more durable and thicker.Detailed Information
Local Supportive Therapies
To increase the success of your clinical treatments and maintain results, use medical support products that you can apply at home. Specialized serums and sprays that nourish the hair follicles throughout the day support blood circulation, reinforcing the effect of the main treatments and ensuring that the improvement in hair quality is permanent.Detailed Information
We Can't Stop Time, But We Can Erase Its Traces
Throughout history, hair has been one of the most important symbols of strength, youth and aesthetics for both women and men. However, hair is not only a visual accessory but also a biological indicator that reflects the general health status of our body. Hair loss, called “Alopecia” in the medical literature, is a multifaceted health problem that can occur with many different triggers ranging from genetic factors to hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies to intense stress.
The Life Cycle of Hair: When Does Hair Loss Become a "Problem"?
To understand hair loss, one must first understand the natural life cycle of the hair. Each hair strand is born, grows, rests and falls out, just like a living organism. This cycle consists of three basic phases:
- Anagen (Growth) PhaseThe phase in which hair actively grows and the roots are at their healthiest, lasting 2 to 6 years. 85-90% of the hair on a healthy scalp is in this phase.
- Catagen (Regression) PhaseA short transition period of about 2-3 weeks, during which hair growth stops and the hair prepares to detach from its root.
- Telogen (Resting and Shedding) PhaseIt is the phase in which the hair is removed from the skin and a new hair begins to form in its place. It lasts an average of 3 months.
Losing 50 to 100 strands of hair a day is a natural result of this cycle and should not be a concern. However, if you see a large number of hairs on your pillow every morning, if the shower drain is clogged, if your hair has lost volume (thinning of the ponytail) or has started to open up (coin-sized gaps), this indicates that the hair cycle is disrupted and requires a clinical intervention.
Hair Loss Types and Clinical Classification
The success of treatment depends on the correct classification of the type of hair loss:
- Male Pattern Baldness: It is graded on the Norwood scale. It starts by pulling back the front hairline.
- Female Pattern Hair Loss: It is classified by the Ludwig scale. The anterior hairline is usually preserved but there is diffuse thinning of the crown.
- Alopecia Areata (Hair Breakage): Round or oval patchy hair loss caused by the immune system attacking the hair follicles.
- Cicatricial Alopecia Permanent damage to the hair follicles as a result of skin diseases or burns and replacement by scar tissue.
Main Causes of Hair Loss
Hair loss can be due to a single cause or a combination of multiple factors. The most common causes we encounter in our detailed analyzes at Medlook clinic are as follows:
Genetic Predisposition (Androgenetic Alopecia)
It is the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women. In men, it is usually characterized by the opening of the temples and thinning of the crown (M-type hair loss), while in women it is characterized by the widening of the hair parting line and general thinning. This is due to the genetic hypersensitivity of hair follicles to DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), a derivative of the male hormone testosterone.
Hormonal Imbalances
Hormones in our body directly manage hair growth. Especially thyroid gland diseases (Hypothyroidism/Hyperthyroidism), polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), insulin resistance, pregnancy, postpartum period and menopause are major factors that trigger hair loss.
Nutritional Deficiencies and Vitamin Deficiencies
The hair follicle has the fastest dividing cells of the body and therefore needs high energy. Iron deficiency anemia, vitamin B12, folic acid, zinc, biotin and vitamin D deficiencies impair hair nutrition. Our Dietitian at Medlook, Uzm. Dyt. Sernaz Çakır Ercil identifies the micronutrient deficiencies necessary for hair health and supports the treatment process with personalized nutrition programs.
Stress and Trauma (Telogen Effluvium)
Severe surgical operations, febrile illnesses, shock diets or intense emotional stress can cause the hair to suddenly go into a resting phase. A sudden and intense hair loss usually occurs 2-3 months after the triggering event.Improper Cosmetic Practices and External Factors
Environmental factors such as frequent blow-drying, exposing the hair to excessive heat, chemical dyes, tight collection models (Traction Alopecia) and air pollution disrupt the structure of the hair and cause hair loss.
Medlook Diagnosis Process: Check-Up and Analysis
Instead of a standard procedure, we conduct a personalized diagnostic process for each client who applies to our clinic. We proceed with the principle of “There is no rote treatment, there is the patient”.
- Dermatoscopic Hair AnalysisThe scalp, follicle number, hair strand thickness and skin health are examined with high-resolution devices.
- Blood Tests and Biochemical EvaluationVitamin deficiencies, iron stores and hormonal parameters that can cause hair loss are checked.
- Medical History and Lifestyle AssessmentStress factors, dietary habits and medications are assessed.

Holistic Treatment Methods: Medical and Supportive Practices
At Medlook Polyclinic, hair loss treatment is not limited to a single method. Combined treatments are applied according to the needs of the patient.
Hair Mesotherapy
It is the injection of a mixture of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and surface-expanding drugs needed by hair follicles directly into the middle layer of the scalp with micro-needles. This method gives much faster and more effective results than oral supplements. It increases blood circulation and stimulates dormant follicles.
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Treatment
It is the process of applying plasma rich in growth factors obtained from the person's own blood to the scalp. It accelerates tissue regeneration, thickens the hair shaft and slows down hair loss. Since it is a natural method, there is no risk of allergy.
Stem Cell Treatment
It is the injection of tissue suspension taken from healthy hair follicles behind the ear into thinning areas. It is a single-session application and offers highly effective results in genetic hair loss.
IV (Intravenous) Vitamin Therapies
As part of our holistic approach to medicine, we use a holistic approach to support hair health from the inside IV Glutathione, Vitamin C or Biotin supplements are applied. These treatments reduce oxidative stress in the body and protect hair follicles from free radicals.
Ozone Therapy
It accelerates blood circulation by increasing oxygenation in the scalp, eliminates skin problems such as fungus and eczema and creates a healthy ground on which the hair can hold on.
Permanent Solution Hair Transplant
If the hair follicles have completely lost their vitality and cannot be reversed with medical treatments, the most effective and permanent solution is hair transplantation. Within Medlook, hair transplantation operations are performed with the most up-to-date technologies.
- Sapphire FUE Technique: It is a method in which canal opening is performed with sapphire tips, healing time is very fast and tissue trauma is minimized.
- DHI (Direct Hair Implantation): It is a method that allows unshaven transplantation, in which channel opening and transplantation are performed simultaneously with special pens (Choi Pen). It is frequently preferred for tightening transplants and female patients.

The Relationship Between Nutrition and Hair Health
Your hair is nourished by what you eat. Insufficient protein intake, iron deficiency and excessive sugar consumption accelerate hair loss. In the treatments we apply in our clinic, we support the process with the “Hair Friendly Nutrition Program” prepared by our Dietician Sernaz Çakır Ercil. In this program;
- Sources of quality protein for keratin production,
- Omega-3 fatty acids for sebum balance,
- Foods containing zinc and vitamin A are emphasized for cell regeneration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is hair mesotherapy a painful procedure?
Pain sensation is minimized thanks to local anesthetic sprays or creams applied before the procedure. Our patients usually feel only a slight sensation of a fly bite during the procedure.
Does hair loss due to stress grow back?
Yes, when the stress factor is eliminated and necessary supportive treatments (PRP, Mesotherapy, etc.) are applied, the hair usually regains its former volume within 6-9 months in Telogen Effluvium type hair loss.
Which season should I have a hair transplant?
There is no medical concept of "best season" for hair transplantation. However, since it is necessary to protect from the sun and avoid excessive sweating for the first 10 days after the operation, the period when the person is most suitable for social life should be preferred.
Can genetic hair loss be stopped completely?
Our genetic codes cannot be changed, but the process of hair loss can be significantly slowed down and delayed. With regular medical treatments and preventive practices, the life of existing hair can be prolonged and the formation of openings can be prevented.
