Most people do not realise that hair loss is a progressive condition. The longer it goes untreated, the harder it becomes to recover lost ground. Research shows that up to 90 percent of patients respond successfully to treatment when they start early enough. Hair loss is typically caused by a hormone called DHT, which gradually shrinks hair follicles over time. Once a follicle has been inactive for too long, it can become permanently dormant. This is why acting at the first signs of thinning, such as a receding hairline, visible scalp when hair is wet, or increased shedding, gives patients the best chance of regrowth. Magna Health offers a free online assessment that helps patients understand their stage of hair loss and whether treatment is right for them. All treatment plans are reviewed and prescribed by a registered New Zealand doctor. Start your free assessment at getmagna.co.nz
