Hair loss is a problem that affects all of us. In America, 66% of men experience hair thinning by age 35 and around 40% of women experience hair loss by 40. Your hair is part of your identity and losing it can have an enormous impact on your self-esteem and confidence. Let’s review hair loss causes and what can be done to revert it.
What Your Hair Pattern Loss Says About Your Health
- If you have gradual thinning on top of your hair, it’s often caused by a condition called androgenetic alopecia. Genetics, aging, and hormonal imbalances can also contribute.
- If you have a circle of patchy bald spots on the scalp, beard or eyebrows you may be suffering from alopecia aretea, an autoimmune condition where your immune system attacks hair follicles. Physical or emotional distress can trigger or worsen this condition.
- If you experience sudden loss of hair, it may be due to emotional stress. Major life events can push hair follicles into a resting phase, leading to sudden hair loss. Hormonal changes (childbirth, menopause, and thyroid imbalances), as well as illness (high fever, infections, or chronic conditions), also play a key role.
- Full-body hair loss or alopecia universalis can be an autoimmune disease: alopecia aretea can develop into alopecia universalis and the immune system is now attacking hair follicles all over the body. Some rare genetic conditions or nutritional deficiencies can also cause it.
- On the other hand, if you have patches of scaling all over the scalp it may be a sign of scalp psoriasis. This condition can cause hair loss as you try to scratch the plaque off your scalp.
Is There a Solution for Hair Loss?
Luckily, the answer is yes. At Sleep and Wellness Center, we offer two highly effective treatments that will help you ditch the aging look and grow back your mane:
KeraLase
This non-invasive procedure utilizes Lutronic’s cutting-edge, ultra-laser delivery system. This treatment stands out from others due to its convenience and effectiveness: only one 10-minute laser treatment is needed, afterward, you’ll need to apply the KeraFactor Peptide growth serum as instructed by our physicians.
With KeraLase, we aim to create the right scalp environment to foster speedy and robust hair growth. By optimizing the scalp’s condition and nourishing it effectively, KeraLase strives to support the development of healthy, vibrant hair.
PRP (Platelet- Rich Plasma) for Hair Loss
This non-surgical treatment is especially effective for those who experience hair thinning or are in the first stages of losing their hair. This procedure involves using your own blood to jump-start cell regeneration in the areas where it was applied.
This minimally invasive, no-downtime treatment will help augment the density and thickness of your hair follicles.
