Hair loss occurs in everyone, but the causes can vary greatly. Some people temporarily lose hair due to stress or medication, while others suffer permanently from hereditary baldness or hormonal fluctuations. At Med-Clinic , we always look at the cause before we treat.
Top 6 causes of hair loss:
- ✅ Hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia)
- ✅ Hormonal changes (menopause, pregnancy, thyroid problems)
- ✅ Stress and burnout
- ✅ Poor blood flow or nutritional deficiencies (vitamin D, iron, B12)
- ✅ Chronic medication or illness
- ✅ Aggressive treatments such as chemotherapy or incorrect use of hair growth products
Differences between hair loss in men and women
In men, we often see inlets, thin crown or complete baldness due to genetics. In women, hair loss usually manifests itself in the form of thinning hair on the crown or scattered hair loss, without the hairline really receding.
For both groups, the sooner you intervene, the better the result. Thanks to treatments such as microneedling for hair growth, PRP therapy or hair filler , we can limit the damage and speed up recovery.
What are the best hair loss treatments?
At Med-Clinic we work with proven methods that stimulate your hair growth, slow down hair loss and rebuild hair volume. Below you will discover the most popular solutions:
1. PRP Hair Treatment (Platelet Rich Plasma)
With a PRP treatment for hair , we take your own blood, centrifuge it, and inject the rich plasma fraction full of growth factors back into your scalp. This stimulates the hair follicles and promotes new growth. → Read more about PRP hair
2. Hair fillers with peptides & growth factors
Hair filler is an innovative solution in which active ingredients are injected directly into the scalp to activate dormant hair follicles. The results are especially visible in women with scattered hair loss or after menopause.
3. Microneedling for hair growth
Microneedling on the scalp creates microchannels through which active serums are absorbed deeper. This technique increases blood flow and stimulates the natural healing ability of your scalp. → Microneedling for Hair Loss
4. Supplements & Lifestyle Guidance
In some cases, hair loss is caused by nutritional deficiencies or stress. We combine treatments with supplement advice and evaluate your vitamin levels through blood analysis. This way we support your hair growth from the inside out.

What can you expect in terms of results? And is it safe?
Most patients notice noticeable hair growth and less hair loss after just 2 to 3 sessions of PRP or hair filler. After 4 to 6 sessions, the effect is clearly visible: fuller hair, stronger hair structure and fewer bald areas. Microneedling works more slowly but also continues to have a visible effect in the long term.
Treatments at Med-Clinic are completely safe and scientifically substantiated. Everything is done under the supervision of a licensed doctor with an eye for natural stimulation and results without risk.
Each treatment is adaptable to your situation – from incipient hair loss to long-term hair loss. Have you had a failed hair transplant before? Even then, we look at how we can limit or correct the damage.
