Skip to content Hair Loss/Hair Restoration
Hair loss takes many forms, and each requires a unique approach and we have hair restoration treatments ready to restore your healthy, vibrant hair. Among the most common types of hair loss are:
Androgenetic Alopecia: This hereditary condition, also called pattern baldness, affects both men and women. It typically presents as thinning hair on the crown and a receding hairline.
Alopecia Areata: Patchy hair loss associated with an autoimmune disorder. This condition may progress to total hair loss in severe cases.
Telogen Effluvium: Temporary hair shedding often triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes. It is characterized by a sudden thinning of hair across the entire scalp.
Traction Alopecia: Caused by repeated tension on hair follicles from tight hairstyles, hair loss is preventable with proper hair care practices.
Scarring Alopecia: Deficiency in hair follicles can lead to irreversible hair loss. Keeping the damage from getting worse requires prompt treatment.
Treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, derived from the patient’s own blood and rich in growth factors, and microneedling with donor growth factor serums aim to stimulate hair follicles, promote growth, and improve density.
