BEFORE YOUR FIRST VISIT

First Time Here

Most hair clinics start with a treatment plan. We start with a diagnosis.

​

Aguinaldo Hair Loss Centre is built around one principle: no treatment is recommended until your hair loss is properly understood. Every non-negotiable step, from your first scan to any procedure, is performed personally by your doctor, never delegated.

01 · WHERE YOU ARE NOW

The Moment That Brought You Here

​

Maybe it was a photo that caught you off guard. Maybe someone mentioned it before you noticed yourself. Or maybe you've quietly known for a while, and today's just the day you decided to do something about it. However you got here, you're in the right place.

​

Most people wait months, sometimes years, before reaching out about hair loss. If it took you a while to get here, that's completely normal; it doesn't mean you waited too long. You don't need to wait until it feels "bad enough," either. The earlier a cause is identified, the more options are usually still on the table.

02 · WHO WE SEE

Is This For Me?

​

Whether you've noticed thinning for the first time, you've been dealing with it for years, or you've already tried treatments elsewhere with no clear answers, this is a reasonable place to start. You don't need to be sure yet. That's what the first conversation is for.

03 · OUR METHOD

Why Diagnosis Comes First

​

Diagnosing hair loss and treating it are actually two very different kinds of work. Figuring out why it's happening takes real judgment with no two cases are quite the same, and rushing this step is where most people end up with the wrong plan. But once the cause is clear, treatment can follow a known, well-understood path. That's why we never skip straight to treatment: it's not caution for its own sake, it's making sure the next step is built on solid ground.

​

Some clinics run every patient through roughly the same protocol, because it's faster for them. We work differently, every case is a genuine puzzle worth solving on its own, not a template to run through.

04 · YOUR DOCTOR

Our Approach

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Dr. Ian Aguinaldo

The Aguinaldo Hair Loss Centre is led by a physician who is an Associate Member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS), currently completing the Evidence-Based Hair Fellowship (EBHF). This training shapes how the clinic operates: diagnosis before treatment, every non-negotiable procedural step performed personally, and honest disclosure of what's proven versus experimental.

​

Thorough, physician-led diagnosis is often treated as something reserved for hard-to-reach specialists. We built this clinic on the belief that it shouldn't be; you shouldn't need a referral or a long wait to get a real answer about your hair.

 

05 · STILL DECIDING

Not Sure If We're the Right Fit?

​

 

Reach out anyway. That's exactly what the first conversation is for. You're not committing to anything by reaching out, just starting a conversation.
