Hair Loss & Nail Concerns

Hair loss has many possible causes, from a temporary increase in shedding after an illness to hormonal and autoimmune conditions. That is why treatment starts with finding the cause.

Consultations in Sofia (Strelbishte) in English, French, Spanish and Bulgarian.

Who it is for

  • For increased shedding or thinning hair
  • For patchy hair loss
  • For changes in nail colour, shape or texture

How it works

  1. 1 A detailed history: onset, course, accompanying factors
  2. 2 Examination of the scalp, hair and nails
  3. 3 Referral for laboratory tests if needed
  4. 4 A treatment plan and realistic expectations about timelines

My approach

„With hair loss I look for the cause first. Blood tests, for example for iron or thyroid function, are ordered when there is a reason for them.“

— Dr. Stefany Kraevska

Good to know

  • 1

    Shedding that starts 2–3 months after stress, illness or childbirth is most often telogen effluvium, and it is reversible.

  • 2

    Tight hairstyles and harsh treatments have a cumulative effect on the hair.

  • 3

    Nail changes are sometimes linked to your general health and deserve an examination.

After the consultation

Hair grows slowly, so results take months rather than days. We track progress at follow-up visits.

Prices and duration depend on the individual case and are confirmed when you book.

Frequently asked questions

Is it normal to lose hair every day?

Yes, some hairs fall out every day. What matters more is a change from what is normal for you: visible thinning, a wider parting or bald patches.

Will I need laboratory tests?

Sometimes. Blood tests, for example for iron or thyroid function, are ordered when your history and the examination give a reason to.

When will the shedding stop once treatment starts?

Hair grows slowly. The first changes are usually visible after a few months, so we compare photos taken under the same conditions.
