At OLA Aesthetics, we take a medical, evidence-based approach to treating hair loss. This common condition affects both men and women across many age groups, and it presents differently depending on the individual. By identifying the underlying causes and tailoring treatment plans to your needs, we help restore both hair health and peace of mind.
A Note From Dr Aleks
Hair concerns are often misunderstood and underdiagnosed. My experience in dermatology has shown me just how many factors can contribute to hair loss, from hormones and genetics to nutritional deficiencies and autoimmune triggers. Successful treatment starts with asking the right questions and performing a detailed assessment.
In many cases, people come to me after trying every product on the shelf without success. That’s because over-the-counter solutions often don’t address the real problem. At OLA Aesthetics, we take time to determine why your hair is thinning or falling out, then choose medical treatments that are tailored to your specific needs.

Understanding Hair Loss
Hair grows in cycles. At any given time, your follicles are in one of several phases: growth (anagen), transition (catagen), resting (telogen) or shedding (exogen). Disruption to this cycle can lead to visible hair loss or thinning.
The most common form is androgenetic alopecia, also known as male or female pattern hair loss. This condition is driven by genetic sensitivity to certain hormones and typically results in progressive thinning over time.
Other types, such as telogen effluvium, cause diffuse shedding and are often linked to recent stress, illness or life changes. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune form of hair loss that causes round, bald patches on the scalp or body. Each case is different, and accurate diagnosis is key to successful treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Loss
It depends on the cause. Some types of hair loss, like telogen effluvium, are temporary and reversible. Others, such as genetic pattern hair loss, may be progressive but can still be managed with ongoing treatment.
If you’ve noticed increased shedding, visible thinning or changes in your hairline, it’s best to book a medical assessment sooner rather than later. Early intervention often improves outcomes and may prevent further loss.
Yes. Physical or emotional stress can interrupt the hair growth cycle and push more follicles into the shedding phase. This usually becomes noticeable a few months after the stressful event and can improve once the underlying issue is resolved.
Supplements can be helpful if you have specific nutrient deficiencies. However, not all hair loss is linked to nutrition. A thorough assessment will determine whether supplements are appropriate or other medical interventions are needed.
We use a sophisticated, medically backed approach tailored to the root cause of your hair loss. Treatments may include RF microneedling, exosome therapy, growth factor injections (such as PRP), topical or oral medical management, and our personalised hair restoration programs. Each plan is carefully crafted by our team to restore healthy hair growth over time.
Our team combines in-depth diagnostic insight with an advanced treatment arsenal, allowing us to address hair loss from every angle. At OLA, we don’t just offer options, we know when and how to use them for meaningful, long-term results.
