Hair Loss & Hair Thinning
Assessment and treatment options for hair loss with Dr Zia.
Hair loss and thinning are common in both men and women and can have many causes, including genetics, hormones, stress, nutrition and medical conditions. Dr Hafiz Muhammad Ziaullah (Dr Zia), FRACGP, offers assessment and treatment for hair loss within the ZH Doctors Network.
Your initial consultation
Your first appointment is a GP consultation with Dr Zia to assess your hair loss, review your medical history and arrange any blood tests needed to look for an underlying cause. A Medicare rebate applies to this initial consultation. If treatment is recommended, Dr Zia will explain your options, what to expect and the costs involved before you decide.
Treatment options
- Medical treatments – prescription medicines to help slow hair loss and support regrowth
- PRP therapy – uses growth factors from your own blood to support hair follicles
- Low-level laser therapy – a non-invasive treatment to support hair density and thickness
- Advanced regenerative therapy – treatments designed to support scalp health and hair quality
- Hair transplantation – a surgical procedure performed by Dr Zia, with a separate surgical consultation covering the procedure, risks, recovery and costs
Results vary from person to person, and not every treatment is suitable for everyone. Treatment costs other than the initial consultation are generally not covered by Medicare.
