About this test

This hair loss profile is designed to investigate some of the most common underlying causes of hair thinning and hair loss.

It looks at key areas including iron levels, thyroid function, inflammation, and hormone balance — all of which can impact hair growth and scalp health.

It’s an ideal first step for those experiencing increased shedding, thinning hair, or changes in hair quality.
