BI-TEMPORAL THINNING
Why do I have hair loss around my temples?
Temple thinning can arise from chronic shedding, traction, breakage, progressive miniaturisation or inflammatory hair loss. The most appropriate service depends on whether you need initial guidance, a full investigation or treatment for an already assessed condition.
IN PRACTICE
Evidence first. Strategy second.
Once the underlying drivers and contributing hair-care practices have been identified, a structured treatment plan is built around your assessment findings. Each plan is tailored according to the condition of the scalp, follicle activity, blood test results and your individual circumstances.
CASE 1
Bi-temporal thinning
OUTCOME AFTER 4 MONTHS
Visible improvement in temple density with early regrowth along the hairline. Reduced active shedding and a more stable appearance at first follow-up.
CASE 2
Bi-temporal thinning + chronic shedding
OUTCOME AFTER 8 MONTHS
Repeat testing showed improvement in iron handling and folate status. Daily shedding reduced substantially and overall density recovered across the scalp. Visible improvement through the temporal areas.
