Did you know both men and women are likely to encounter hair loss at some point in their lives? Different factors may contribute to that, including age, and health conditions, among other issues. Usually, hair loss affects your appearance and may also interfere with your self-esteem. However, the best thing you can do is seek help from hair professionals. The New York hair loss specialist Lionel Bissoon, DO, is here to help restore your hair and improve your natural beauty. This article will help you understand how you can cope with hair loss.

What causes hair loss?

There are a lot of things that may lead to hair loss. Some of the common reasons include the following;

·         Hormone changes

·         Stress

·         Inflammation

·         Nutrient deficiencies

·         Existing health conditions

·         Sudden weight loss

·         High fever

·         Fungal infections

·         Trauma

·         Systemic disease

The primary cause of hair loss is female and male pattern baldness. It is a genetic condition that causes hair follicles to have increased sensitivity to hormones and  prevent hair growth. The condition is also known as androgenetic alopecia.

What causes hair loss in the beard, mustache, or eyebrows?

Eyebrow hair loss in women occurs due to hormonal changes during menopause or when they have a decline in thyroid hormones. Hair loss in the eyebrows, mustache, eyelashes, and beard may also occur due to a condition known as alopecia areata.

Alopecia areata appears when the immune system strikes hair follicles, leading to inflammation and hair loss.

What are the available hair loss treatment options?

When you visit Liondale Medical for a consultation, your provider conducts a comprehensive medical assessment of your hair loss, to find out the cause. They then use your diagnosis results to design a personalized treatment plan.

Where your lifestyle affects your hair loss, your provider suggests weight loss, healthy exercise plans, and nutrient intake.

Your treatment option for hair loss may include the following:

Stem cells and exosomes

Stem cells have the power to divide and regenerate new cells which promotes healing and the replacement of injured and worn-out tissues. Your provider injects stem cells into the hair follicles to enhance new hair growth.

Your stem cells excrete small vesicles, known as exosomes. The vesicles convey proteins and RNA, absorbed by the close-by cells to enhance their healing.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)

PRP has a high concentration of platelets. The platelets have growth factors which support hair growth, reduce hair loss, and improve hair thickness. Your provider may combine PRP with stem cells and exosomes for better results.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy

This treatment is efficient when your hair loss results from a decline in your hormone levels. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is an effective treatment for menopause that helps restore your hormone levels.

Nutrition therapy

It involves supplements, IV therapy, and healthy meal plans to promote your nutrient levels. Nutrition therapy is an effective treatment for hair loss, resulting from nutrient deficiency.

Hair loss might be common at some point in your life, but that does not mean you have to go through it. Contact Liondale Medical if you experience hair thinning or hair loss today or book your appointment online for help.
