What is the cause and treatment in Singapore for female hair loss? How much would hair loss treatment in Singapore cost?
It is important to know whether your hair loss is actually normal or excessive. It is quite common to lose about 50-100 strands of hair each day and anything over 100 is considered excessive. The cause of a sudden excessive hair loss can be investigated with a careful history, examination of the scalp and some blood test. Before seeing a doctor, it may also be useful to take photos of how much hair you are losing a day so that you can show the doctor.
