Hair Loss & Alopecia Solutions
Looking at the Roots of Hair Loss to Restore Your Confidence
Hair loss affects both women and men and while it’s often seen as a natural part of ageing, the impact can be deeply personal and emotionally challenging. Many Australians experience some degree of hair loss over their lifetime, but because it doesn’t pose a direct health risk, its effects are sometimes overlooked. However, hair loss and alopecia can significantly affect self-esteem and confidence, leading to emotional distress and impacting quality of life. Dr Matulich understands these challenges and offers compassionate, expert care to address both the physical and emotional aspects of hair loss.
Treatments for Hair Loss Dr Matulich Dermatology
The most effective treatment for hair loss depends on its underlying cause. For example, the approach may vary between male and female pattern baldness, or for types of hair loss linked to specific conditions.
In cases where hair loss is temporary—such as when related to stress, anaemia, or thyroid imbalance—our team at Dr Matulich Dermatology can diagnose and address these factors, often supporting natural regrowth without additional intervention.
For other types of hair loss, our experts may recommend targeted treatments to help protect hair follicles from hormonal effects and encourage lasting hair health.
