About this panel
Most non-pattern hair loss is driven by something correctable: an iron or ferritin deficiency, a thyroid imbalance, low vitamin D, or chronic inflammation. This panel measures all the standard markers a doctor would request to investigate unexplained shedding or thinning, with full clinical review of your results.
Who this panel is for
- You're seeing more hair shed than usual
- You've noticed thinning at the crown or temples
- You're investigating before considering treatment options
- You want a clear baseline before starting finasteride, minoxidil, or PRP
