Common Causes of Hair Loss
Identifying the root cause is the first step toward effective treatment.
Androgenetic Alopecia
The most common cause — genetic sensitivity to DHT affecting follicle miniaturization over time.
Hormonal Imbalances
Thyroid disorders, menopause, PCOS, and testosterone imbalances can all contribute to hair thinning.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Low iron, biotin, zinc, and vitamin D are common contributors to accelerated hair loss.
Stress & Telogen Effluvium
Physical or emotional stress can push hair follicles into a resting phase, causing diffuse shedding.
Hair Restoration Protocols
Your provider will recommend the most appropriate combination based on your hair loss pattern and health profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
A comprehensive evaluation by your Azul Rx provider, including a review of your health history and optional lab work, can identify the underlying cause of your hair loss and guide the most effective treatment approach.
Response varies widely by individual and by medication, and some people do not respond at all. Your provider will set expectations based on the specific medication prescribed and reassess with you over time.
It depends on the treatment and on you. Topical minoxidil is FDA-approved for women; spironolactone is used off-label for hair loss; GHK-Cu is not FDA-approved for any hair indication. Finasteride is contraindicated in women who are or may become pregnant. A provider will review which options, if any, are appropriate for you.
Hair loss treatments typically need to be maintained to sustain results. If treatment is stopped, hair loss may resume over time. Your provider will discuss long-term management strategies during your consultation.
