If you've noticed your hair thinning on your upper scalp, the most likely cause is male pattern baldness (MPB) which is an inherited condition. It starts sometime after puberty because of the involvement of the male sex hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
To our patients and the general public:
In following the advice of the Australian Government and my Medical Insurers we are announcing a temporary cessation of procedures in all our clinics.
The cessation is currently indefinite, but a time frame will likely become clearer in the coming weeks.
Dr Knudsen and Dr Jayaprakash will continue to consult with patients either in person, or most likely, via telemedicine (FaceTime, Skype, Zoom or WhatsApp depending on your preference).
Patients or the general public may ring the clinic during normal business hours Mon-Fri 0900-1700 to arrange consults or for script repeats as normal.
In the interest of public safety I suggest we try for telemedicine arrangements where possible.
These are challenging times and your safety and health are our utmost concern. We will support you as normal until normal arrangements resume.
Feel free to contact us for any further information.
Dr Russell Knudsen
