Hair Loss (Alopecia)

Hair loss, or alopecia, can result from a variety of factors including genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, stress, and nutritional deficiencies.

Cause

  • Genetics: Hereditary hair loss, known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women. It typically follows a predictable pattern of thinning and baldness.
  • Hormonal Changes: Hormonal imbalances, particularly involving androgens, can lead to hair loss. This is common during pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and thyroid problems.
  • Medical Conditions: Various medical conditions such as autoimmune diseases (e.g., alopecia areata), scalp infections, and diseases like lupus can cause hair loss.
  • Stress: Physical or emotional stress can trigger a type of hair loss called telogen effluvium, where hair prematurely enters the resting phase and falls out in large amounts.
  • Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients such as iron, protein, and vitamins (e.g., vitamin D, B vitamins) can weaken hair structure and lead to hair loss.

Treatment: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

  • Description: PRP therapy is a cutting-edge treatment designed to utilize your body’s own healing mechanisms to promote hair growth. The process begins by drawing a small amount of your blood. This blood is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the red and white blood cells. The result is a highly concentrated plasma rich in platelets, which are known to contain growth factors that can stimulate cellular repair and regeneration. This platelet-rich plasma is then carefully injected into the scalp at the level of the hair follicles.
  • Effectiveness: The growth factors in PRP stimulate the hair follicles, encouraging new hair growth and improving the thickness and density of existing hairs. It also enhances the blood supply to the hair follicles, which can further promote hair health and growth.
  • Benefits: PRP is a natural treatment with minimal side effects since it uses your own blood. It is particularly effective for individuals with thinning hair or early stages of hair loss and can be combined with other hair loss treatments for enhanced results.
