Hair Loss

While daily shedding of hair is normal, if you notice increased hair shedding, thinning hair or bald patches developing, you may have a hair loss condition.

Types of Hair Loss

  • Androgenetic alopecia: Thinning of the hair at the crown of the scalp primarily in men, but women can also be affected. 
  • Alopecia areata: Characterized by distinct circular patches of hair loss, which can affect men and women of all ages. 
  • Telogen effluvium: Intense and diffuse shedding of the hair. 
  • Tinea capitis: A fungal infection of the scalp that appears as a circular patch of hair loss with scaling on the scalp.

Causes of Hair Loss

There are a number of factors that can contribute to hair loss, including: 

  • Hereditary factors: One of the most common causes of hair loss is a hereditary condition associated with aging known as androgenic alopecia. While most common in men, it can occur in women. 
  • Medical, radiation, and chemotherapy treatments: Hair loss can also be caused by medical treatments such as radiation treatment or chemotherapy. 
  • Hormonal conditions: Hormonal fluctuations or chronic hormone conditions can often lead to some hair loss. 
  • Vitamin D deficiency and other immunity conditions: Vitamin D deficiency or immune conditions such as alopecia can be a common cause of hair loss. 
  • How you wear your hair: In individuals who keep their hair tightly braided so that it pulls consistently in one direction, the hair may fade back in the direction of the pulling creating a condition known as traction alopecia. 
  • Stress or major life events: Stressful events, hospitalizations, recent illness or delivery, and even new medications can all lead to hair loss. 

Cosmetic Treatments for Hair Loss

To treat hair loss, our team provides non-surgical hair restoration using PRP (platelet-rich plasma). This therapy uses the infusion of concentrated platelets taken from a patient’s own blood to accelerate healing in a specific area. For treating hair loss, PRP contains eight essential protein growth factors that can stimulate dormant hair follicles and push them into the growth phase. After a series of treatments, most patients achieve 50% or more improvement.
