WHAT CAUSES hair loss?
01
Genetics
Male and female pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common cause of hair loss and is influenced by genetic factors.
02
Hormonal Changes:
Hormonal imbalances, such as those associated with pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, or thyroid disorders, can contribute to hair loss.
03
Medical Conditions:
Certain medical conditions, such as alopecia areata, scalp infections, and autoimmune diseases, can cause hair loss.
04
Stress:
Physical or emotional stress can lead to temporary hair loss known as telogen effluvium.
05
Nutritional Deficiencies:
Inadequate intake of essential nutrients, such as iron, vitamin D, and protein, can affect hair health and lead to hair loss.
Solutions for Hair Loss concern:
Topical Treatments:
Over-the-counter or prescription topical treatments, such as minoxidil (Rogaine), can help slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth.
Oral Medications
Prescription medications, such as finasteride (Propecia) for men and spironolactone for women, may be recommended to treat certain types of hair loss.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy:
PRP therapy involves injecting concentrated platelets from your blood into the scalp to stimulate hair growth.
Hair Transplant Surgery:
Hair transplant procedures, such as follicular unit transplantation (FUT) or follicular unit extraction (FUE), can permanently restore hair in areas of thinning or baldness.
Consultation and Evaluation
If you’re concerned about hair loss, we recommend scheduling a consultation with a qualified healthcare provider or dermatologist. They can evaluate your condition, determine the underlying cause of your hair loss, and recommend appropriate treatment options tailored to your needs.
