What can I expect from Male Hair Loss Profile?

Struggling with thinning hair or male pattern baldness? Hair loss in men can often be linked to hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, or underlying health issues. This advanced blood test panel is specifically designed to uncover the internal factors that could be contributing to your hair loss - so you can take targeted action.

This profile includes a detailed assessment of:

  • Hormones: Testosterone, Free Testosterone (calculated), SHBG, FSH, LH, Prolactin, DHEA-S, Cortisol and Oestradiol - to check for imbalances that may impact hair growth, libido, energy levels and overall hormonal health.
  • Thyroid Function: TSH, Free T4 - as thyroid disorders are a common but overlooked cause of hair thinning in men.
  • Nutrients & Health Markers: Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Folate, Zinc, Ferritin - essential for healthy hair follicle function and growth.
  • Liver and Kidney Function: Comprehensive Liver Function Test (LFT) and Renal Panel (excluding potassium, sodium, chloride and bicarbonate) to ensure your organs are processing hormones and nutrients properly.
  • Full Blood Count (FBC): To assess your overall blood health and detect issues such as anaemia or inflammation.

?? Who is this test for?

This test is ideal for men:

  • Experiencing unexplained hair loss or thinning
  • Using or considering hair loss treatments (e.g., Finasteride, Minoxidil)
