Hair Loss Treatment in Melaka
Alopecia Areata
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition that causes unpredictable hair loss, often on the scalp but sometimes on the eyebrows, beard, or other areas of the body. Our team at Klinik Liysha offers personalized, evidence-based treatments to help restore healthy hair growth and improve scalp health.
What Is Alopecia Areata?
Alopecia Areata is a non-scarring type of hair loss where your immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to round, smooth bald patches. It can occur at any age and may progress or relapse unpredictably. While it doesn’t cause physical harm, it can have a significant emotional impact.
Symptoms of Hair Loss
- Sudden patchy hair loss on the scalp or body
- Smooth, round bald patches
- Tingling or itching in affected areas
- Nail pitting or changes (in some cases)
- Regrowth that may be white or lighter in color
Early diagnosis and proper management are key to preventing further hair loss.
Hair Loss Causes
Why Am I Losing Hair?
Genetic Factors
For men, male-pattern baldness is typically characterized by a receding hairline and thinning at the crown. Female-pattern hair loss usually presents as diffuse thinning over the crown while maintaining the frontal hairline.
Hormonal Changes
Men are less commonly affected by hormonal imbalances unless linked to medications or health conditions. While in women, hair loss may occur due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or thyroid issues.
Stress or Illness
Sudden physical or emotional stress, surgery, high fever, or crash dieting can push hair into a resting phase, causing diffuse shedding.
Scalp Conditions
Fungal infections, psoriasis, or seborrheic dermatitis can cause temporary or permanent hair loss if not treated early.
Treatment Options for Hair Loss
We offer a wide range of tailored treatments depending on your age, the extent of hair loss, and medical history.
Topical Corticosteroids
These are anti-inflammatory creams or ointments that help suppress the immune attack on hair follicles. Ideal for mild to moderate cases.
Intralesional Steroid Injections
For small, isolated patches, we inject corticosteroids directly into the scalp or affected skin. This encourages regrowth in many patients within a few weeks.
Minoxidil
Often used alongside other treatments, this topical medication helps boost blood flow to hair follicles and encourage regrowth.
| Hair Loss Treatment for Men | Hair Loss Treatment for Women |
|---|---|
| Topical Minoxidil (5%): FDA-approved for male-pattern baldness; commonly used daily on the scalp. | Topical Minoxidil (2%–5%): Often used for diffuse thinning and postpartum hair loss. Safe and effective. |
| Oral Finasteride: A DHT-blocking medication that slows hair loss and may promote regrowth. Typically not used in women due to hormonal side effects. | Hormonal Treatments: Includes oral contraceptives or anti-androgens like spironolactone, especially for PCOS-related hair loss. |
| Iron or Nutritional Supplements: Frequently recommended if bloodwork shows deficiencies. |
Hair loss in men and women often has different causes and requires tailored treatments. Men typically experience pattern baldness caused by DHT and respond well to treatments like finasteride and hair transplants.
Women more often have diffuse thinning linked to hormonal changes, iron deficiency, or thyroid issues, and are usually treated with minoxidil, hormone therapy, or nutritional support. Treatments differ due to hormonal sensitivity, patterns of loss, and safety concerns, especially regarding medications like finasteride which aren’t suitable for women

FAQ on Hair Loss Treatments
Frequently Asked Questions
Hair regrowth typically begins after 3–6 months of consistent treatment. Full results may take up to 12 months. Some treatments may temporarily increase shedding in the beginning — this is often a sign that the treatment is working.
Most treatments manage hair loss rather than cure it. Ongoing maintenance is usually needed. Stopping treatment may lead to resumed shedding and reversal of gains over time.
Finasteride is not recommended for women, especially those who are pregnant or trying to conceive, due to the risk of birth defects. Women are typically prescribed minoxidil or hormone-balancing therapies if hair loss is linked to PCOS or menopause.
Yes. Many dermatologists recommend combining treatments — for example, using minoxidil with supplements — to enhance results. However, it’s important to consult with a professional before mixing medications or therapies.
If you notice sudden shedding, patchy loss, or hair falling out in clumps, it’s best to see a healthcare provider. Early diagnosis improves the chances of effective treatment and preventing permanent damage.
