Hair Loss in Clemmons, NC
What Causes Hair Loss?
You may experience hair loss suddenly, losing large chunks of hair. You may also experience gradual hair loss, causing your hairline to recede. Hair loss can be caused by:
- Genetics
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Anemia
- Stress
- Chemotherapy
- Thyroid issues
- Autoimmune conditions
- Chronic diseases
Types of Hair Loss
There are several types of hair loss, including:
- Androgenetic alopecia, which is a genetic disorder causing hair loss in both men and women
- Central centrifugal alopecia, which causes hair loss in the crown of the scalp
- Alopecia areata, which destroys the hair follicles, causing hair loss in specific areas
- Telogen effluvium, caused by early shedding of hair, resulting in thinning hair
What Your Provider Can Do to Help With Hair Loss
Treatment for hair loss begins with a comprehensive examination to determine the cause of your hair loss. Your provider may recommend these effective treatments to help stop hair loss and regrow hair:
Platelet Rich Plasma, also known as PRP–which works by using your plasma cells, which are reinjected back into you. PRP treatment promotes new hair growth.
Stem cell treatments, which may be combined with PRP treatment to repair damaged hair follicles and promote new hair growth.
Medications include Olumiant, which modifies your immune system and is often used in cases of alopecia and hair loss caused by autoimmune conditions.
