Hair Loss Test Abu Dhabi — Find the Cause of Hair Fall From AED 349 | Lab Experts

Hair loss test in Abu Dhabi from AED 349. Find the real cause of hair fall — Ferritin, Vitamin D, B12, Zinc, TSH, hormones. Plus optional 35-mineral hair analysis. Results in 24h.

Starting from AED 349. Results in 24 hours.

Hair fall has dozens of causes — but in UAE adults the same handful of internal triggers show up over and over: low iron stores, Vitamin D and B12 deficiency, undiagnosed thyroid disease, and hormonal shifts. Topical treatments and supplements rarely work until the root cause is identified by blood testing.

What's Included — Hair Loss Panel (AED 349)

- Ferritin — iron stores, the #1 cause of diffuse shedding in women

- Complete Blood Count (CBC) — anaemia, inflammation

- Vitamin D — 25-OH Total — regulates the hair growth cycle (80% of UAE adults are deficient)

- Vitamin B12 — essential for follicle oxygenation

- Zinc — keratin synthesis, low Zn is a frequent hidden trigger

- TSH — thyroid disease commonly presents as diffuse hair loss

- Free T4 — thyroid hormone level

- Folate (B9) — DNA synthesis in follicle cells

Optional Add-Ons

- Hormonal panel for women — Testosterone, DHEA-S, Prolactin (PCOS-related thinning) — AED 249

- Hormonal panel for men — Testosterone, DHT (androgenic alopecia) — AED 199

- Hair Mineral Analysis — 35+ minerals and toxic metals from a hair sample, no extra blood draw — AED 1,099

Common Hair Loss Patterns and What They Suggest

- Diffuse shedding all over the scalp → check Ferritin, D, B12, TSH first

- Crown thinning + widening parting (women) → add hormonal panel (PCOS, androgens)

- Receding hairline / vertex thinning (men) → DHT and Testosterone

- Patchy bald spots → likely alopecia areata — see a dermatologist

- Sudden shedding 2–3 months after stress, illness or childbirth → telogen effluvium, often resolves once Ferritin and D are corrected

- Hair fall with cold intolerance, weight gain, fatigue → thyroid panel critical

What blood tests check for hair loss causes?

The Lab Experts Hair Loss Panel covers the eight markers most commonly behind hair shedding: Ferritin, CBC, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Zinc, TSH, Free T4, and Folate. Hormonal add-ons are available for both men and women.

How much does a hair loss blood test cost in Abu Dhabi?

The Hair Loss Panel at Lab Experts starts from AED 349. Hormonal add-ons are AED 199 (men) or AED 249 (women). Hair Mineral Analysis (35+ minerals from a hair sample, no blood) is AED 1,099.

Why is Ferritin so important for hair loss?

Ferritin reflects iron stores. Even when haemoglobin is normal, low Ferritin (below ~50 ng/mL) is one of the most common drivers of diffuse hair shedding — especially in menstruating women, vegetarians, and those with heavy periods. Correcting Ferritin usually reduces shedding within 2–4 months.

Can thyroid problems cause hair fall?

Yes. Both underactive (hypothyroid) and overactive (hyperthyroid) thyroid disease cause diffuse hair shedding. TSH and Free T4 are essential markers in any hair loss work-up — and many people in the UAE have undiagnosed thyroid disease.

Should I do hair mineral analysis instead of a blood test?

They answer different questions. Blood tests catch acute deficiencies and hormonal causes that drive current shedding (and respond fast to treatment). Hair Mineral Analysis reveals long-term mineral balance and toxic metal exposure over 2–3 months. Many patients do both for a complete picture.

How fast will I see results after correcting deficiencies?

The hair growth cycle is slow — visible improvement typically takes 2–4 months after starting iron, vitamin D, B12, or thyroid correction. Photographs at the start help track progress. Repeat blood tests at 3 months are recommended to confirm levels are restored.

Is home collection available for the hair loss panel?

Yes. Home blood collection is AED 50 within Abu Dhabi city, AED 150 outside, AED 250 for other emirates. Useful especially when fasting samples are needed in the morning.
