Hair loss check

By the pattern. In men, the hairline recedes, the temples thin out and the crown gets sparser. In women, the parting gets wider, while the front hairline usually stays put.

Hereditary hair loss shows up in specific areas and comes on slowly, often over years. Diffuse hair loss affects the whole head evenly and often has a trigger: giving birth, an illness, a diet or a very stressful time.

Yes. After a longer stretch of strain, many hairs switch into the resting phase at the same time. It often only becomes visible two to three months later, which is why many people don't connect the dots right away.

Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, just like zinc. That's why vitamin B7 has a second name: vitamin H, H for "Haar" and "Haut", German for hair and skin. You'll find both in our Xpecia tablets and in the Evocapil Plus hair vitamins.

Plan for at least three months. Hair grows about one centimetre a month, and a routine works best when it becomes a fixed ritual. With a set, you've got everything you need at home for several months.

Cleanse gently, don't rub, lots of moisture. Mild foam care like our PostOp Set is made exactly for this and fits in with your clinic's aftercare plan.

The pattern is different, and often the triggers are too: in women, hormones, iron and the thyroid play a role more often. That's why our formulas are separate, for example with iron in Xpecia for women and 2% instead of 3% Procapil in the Hairforte spray for women.

If you notice round bald patches, sudden heavy shedding or an inflamed scalp, it's worth booking an appointment with your dermatologist.
