Hair thinning and hair loss are extremely common and can affect both men and women at any stage of life.
Some patients notice gradual thinning over time, while others experience increased shedding more suddenly due to stress, hormonal changes, illness, or other contributing factors.
At West Kootenay Skin Clinic, we provide personalized hair and scalp assessments to help patients better understand their concerns and explore treatment options that support long-term scalp and hair health.
No referral is required to book an assessment.
Common Causes of Hair Loss
Hair loss can occur for many different reasons, including:
- genetics and hormonal factors
- aging-related thinning
- stress-related shedding (telogen effluvium)
- postpartum hair changes
- inflammation affecting the scalp
- nutritional and lifestyle factors
Early assessment may help identify contributing factors and support better long-term outcomes.
