Hair Loss
  • Description

    Hair loss, or alopecia, refers to the partial or complete loss of hair from the scalp or other parts of the body. It can occur due to various factors including genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, medications, stress, and aging. The severity and pattern of hair loss can vary, and treatment options range from medications to surgical procedures depending on the underlying cause.

  • Cause

    Hair loss, also known as alopecia, can be caused by a variety of factors including genetics (androgenetic alopecia), hormonal changes (such as in pregnancy or thyroid disorders), medical conditions (like alopecia areata or scalp infections), certain medications (such as chemotherapy drugs or those affecting hormone levels), excessive stress, nutritional deficiencies, and aging. The specific cause of hair loss can vary greatly among individuals and may require medical evaluation to determine the underlying reason and appropriate treatment.

  • Treatment

    • PRP for Hair loss:Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection is a novel procedure that uses your blood platelets - a type of cell that helps with healing throughout the body - to potentially reverse hair loss and grow new hair. PRP is blood plasma containing bioactive proteins and concentrated growth fibroblast factors that stimulate growth in hair follicles.

    • Treatment protocol:Our physicians recommend a minimum of 3 total treatments initially 4-6 weeks apart to see a response to therapy. We monitor your progress carefully with pictures and supplement with a cocktail of topical medications for a holistic improvement of long-term hair growth.
