Hair Restoration

Hair thinning and hair loss can occur for many different reasons, and identifying the pattern of hair loss is an important part of determining which treatments may be useful. Genetics, hormonal changes, medications, nutritional factors, illness, stress, and other medical conditions can all affect the hair growth cycle.

During your consultation, your pattern and degree of hair thinning, scalp health, medical history, medications, family history, and previous treatments are reviewed. Depending on the pattern of hair loss, additional medical evaluation or laboratory testing may be recommended before beginning treatment.

Non-surgical hair restoration may include topical or oral medications, microneedling, PRP, growth factors, or other treatments depending on your individual circumstances. More than one treatment may be combined when appropriate because different therapies can address different aspects of hair loss.

Hair restoration also has limitations. Treatment generally works by supporting follicles that are still present rather than recreating follicles that have been permanently lost. The expected response depends on the cause and extent of hair loss, and improvement typically occurs gradually over several months. Some forms of hair loss may be better evaluated by a dermatologist or another specialist, and patients with more advanced permanent hair loss may be better candidates for surgical hair transplantation.
