Hair Loss

El Dorado Hills, CA

What Is Hair Loss?

Hair loss is a common condition that can affect both men and women at any stage of life. It occurs when the hair growth cycle is disrupted, leading to thinning, shedding, or balding in specific areas. Hair loss can be temporary or permanent, depending on its underlying causes. Modern treatments like PRF and the Revian Hair Growth Cap offer effective, noninvasive solutions to restore hair density and promote healthier hair growth.

Treatments for Hair Loss

PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)

PRF is a regenerative treatment that uses the patient’s own blood to promote hair follicle health and stimulate growth. Rich in platelets and growth factors, PRF is injected into the scalp to nourish dormant follicles, encourage new hair growth, and improve overall scalp health.

Revian Hair Growth Cap

The Revian Hair Growth Cap is an FDA-cleared, noninvasive device that uses LED light therapy to stimulate the scalp and promote hair regrowth. This at-home treatment is convenient and effective, helping to reverse hair thinning and improve hair density over time. It works to improve blood flow and reduce inflammation of the hair follicles and it inhibits the hormone DHT which is often a contributor to hair loss.

What Are the Causes of Hair Loss?

Genetics

Hereditary hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common cause of thinning hair in men and women.

Hormonal Changes

Hormonal fluctuations from pregnancy, menopause, or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can trigger hair loss.

Stress

Physical or emotional stress can disrupt the hair growth cycle, leading to temporary shedding.

Medical Conditions

Conditions such as alopecia areata, thyroid disorders, or nutritional deficiencies can lead to hair loss.

Aging

As we age, hair follicles shrink, and hair growth slows, resulting in thinner, more fragile strands.
