What are the risk factors for hair loss?

Various factors can affect hair loss in men and women. Aging and genetics are common causes. Other risk factors include hormonal imbalances (testosterone, estrogen, thyroid, etc.), stress, significant weight loss, nutrient deficiencies, medical conditions, some medications, and poor hair care practices – like pulling your hair too tight in a ponytail or combing it vigorously. 

It’s common to shed about 50-100 hairs daily as the hair completes a normal growth cycle. But your hair can become thinner if shedding outpaces growth.

What are the benefits of hair loss treatment?

The main benefits of treating hair loss are a fuller, thicker, healthier head of hair and improved self-confidence. Hair loss treatments available at ThriveMD Health Spa are quick, simple, and painless. You don’t have to undergo surgery or other invasive procedures.

Which hair loss solution is best for me?

Your ThriveMD Health Spa expert discusses your medical history and lifestyle, examines your hair and scalp, and reviews your goals to create a customized hair loss solution that’s best suited to your needs. 

They also complete a physical exam and may order blood testing to screen for hormone imbalances or nutritional deficiencies. The right treatment depends on the cause and severity of your hair loss. 

Which hair loss treatments are available?

ThriveMD Health Spa offers the following solutions that help stimulate hair regrowth and achieve fuller hair:

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)

HRT, including testosterone replacement therapy, can restore hair thickness by balancing hormone levels. Forms of HRT include injections, pills, patches, gels, and implanted pellets.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)

PRP is a revolutionary, non-surgical solution for hair loss that uses your body’s natural growth factors to promote healing and combat thinning hair. Your provider takes a sample of your blood, spins it in a centrifuge, and injects the sample into your scalp or applies PRP to your scalp with microneedling (using tiny needles to make microtears).

Peptides

Peptides are amino acids that trigger natural hair regrowth using injections, serums, pills, powders, or other dietary supplements. 

Red light therapy

Red light therapy is a painless treatment that uses near-infrared or red light energy to naturally stimulate hair follicles and reduce hair loss.
