Hair loss, known as alopecia, is a common condition characterized by a progressive decrease in hair density. It can be diffuse or localized, temporary or chronic.
In women, alopecia often manifests as a generalized thinning of the hair and a loss of volume. In men, it typically takes the form of a receding hairline or baldness at the crown of the head.
Beyond its aesthetic impact, hair loss affects self-confidence and psychological well-being. Advanced medical solutions now make it possible to stimulate regrowth, slow down hair loss, and naturally redensify hair.
At Clinique SkinIn, on Montreal's South Shore in Brossard, our experts develop a personalized protocol based on each patient's cause, stage, and hair profile.
Genetic predisposition: male (baldness) or female androgenetic alopecia, the most common cause
Hormonal imbalances: pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, hyperthyroidism, high androgen levels
Intense physical or emotional stress, causing telogen effluvium (sudden diffuse hair loss)
Nutritional deficiencies: iron, zinc, vitamin D, or protein deficiencies
Medications: contraceptives, chemotherapy, certain antihypertensives
Scalp inflammation or dermatological conditions (alopecia areata, lichen planopilaris)
Environmental factors: pollution, harsh styling products, excessive heat (straightening, blow-drying)


Maintain a balanced diet, rich in protein, iron, and essential fatty acids
Avoid overly tight hairstyles (braids, pulled-back buns) that weaken the follicle
Reduce exposure to direct heat (straighteners, high-temperature hair dryers)
Use gentle shampoos and strengthening treatments specifically for the scalp
Consult an expert promptly in case of sudden, unusually intense, or localized hair loss
Treatments are tailored according to the cause, stage, and patient profile:
