Most hair loss in men is male-pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) — a gradual receding hairline and thinning at the crown, driven by genetics and the hormone DHT. Less commonly, hair loss has other causes such as thyroid problems, iron deficiency, stress or a scalp condition.

A private assessment confirms the cause and sets out which treatments are genuinely worth trying.

Finding the Cause

A clinician examines your scalp and hair-loss pattern and, where relevant, arranges blood tests (thyroid, iron/ferritin and others) to check for treatable causes. Identifying the cause matters because treatment differs — patterned loss is managed very differently from, say, iron deficiency.

Sudden, patchy or scarring hair loss is assessed differently and may need dermatology input.

Treatment Options

For male-pattern loss, evidence-based options include topical minoxidil and oral finasteride, which work best started early and continued long-term. Any underlying deficiency or condition is treated alongside.

A clinician will explain realistic expectations and the pros and cons of each option.

Getting Assessed at The Vesey

A GP can assess you and arrange the right tests, with dermatology referral if needed — no GP referral required to book.
