It usually starts small. A few extra strands on the pillow, more than you’d like in the shower drain. Most hair loss is fixable once you figure out what’s actually causing it — and that’s genuinely where we begin.
Losing 50 to 100 strands a day is totally normal — they get replaced by fresh growth and nobody notices. The trouble begins when something throws that cycle off and the falling starts to outrun the regrowing. Figuring out what threw it off is the whole game, because that’s what tells us how to treat it.
Genetics is the one everybody assumes — pattern baldness, where the hormone DHT slowly shrinks the follicles. It’s common, but it’s far from the only reason. We see hair fall caused by thyroid problems, low iron, vitamin deficiencies, PCOS, the hormone crash that follows childbirth, aggressive dieting, a bad fever, certain medicines, and stress that’s been allowed to simmer for too long. Some loss is autoimmune, like alopecia areata. And a rarer group of conditions actually scar the follicle — the kind you don’t want to ignore.
If your hair fall is thyroid-related and you treat it like genetic baldness, nothing works. The cause leads. Treatment comes after. That order isn’t negotiable for us.
The slow patterned thinning — a receding hairline and thinning crown in men, a widening parting in women.
Diffuse shedding two or three months after a shock — surgery, illness or childbirth. It usually settles once the trigger does.
Coin-sized bald spots from the immune system attacking its own follicles.
The kind we see from years of tight ponytails and braids pulling at the roots.
The least common but most urgent — once a follicle scars over, it’s gone for good.
This part can’t be rushed, and a glance across the consulting room doesn’t count. Your hair specialist looks at the scalp properly under trichoscopy, does a gentle pull test to see how active the shedding really is, and sends you for bloodwork when needed — iron, thyroid, vitamin D, B12, hormones, whatever the picture calls for.
If things still aren’t clear, a small scalp biopsy tells us whether the loss is scarring or not. Only then do we sit down and talk treatment.
There’s no one-size answer, so we usually combine a few things and tweak the mix as your results come in.
Still the backbone for pattern loss. It slows shedding and nudges regrowth, but asks for patience — six months at least before you judge it.
We draw a little of your own blood, concentrate the growth factors, and inject them into thinning areas to wake sleepy follicles. A few minutes, no real downtime.
Tiny radiofrequency channels in the scalp let growth factors reach the follicle while the skin’s own healing kicks in. A great pair with PRP.
Gentler still — red light improving circulation and waking tired follicles, useful for shoring up the hair you already have.
A nutrient blend delivered straight into the scalp where density has dropped.
If the loss is advanced, we go through it honestly so you decide with the full picture — never on the spot. Anyone promising an overnight fix is selling you something.
The team building your hair plan also handles your skin and aesthetic concerns — same roof, same people. All FDA-approved.
Everything done by certified professionals, with protocols followed properly — never made up as we go.

Walk in for a consultation and you’ll walk out understanding your own scalp.
There isn't a single number, and anyone who quotes you one before they've looked at your scalp isn't being honest. It depends on the cause, how far along the loss is, and what your plan ends up needing. You'll get a clear, broken-down estimate after the consultation — no nasty surprises down the line.
You can't argue with your genes, but plenty of hair fall is avoidable. Keep stress in check, sleep enough, eat your protein and iron, lay off the tight hairstyles, and deal with scalp issues early rather than hoping they pass. The sooner you catch something, the easier it is to treat.
Quite often, yes. The extra androgens that ride along with PCOS thin the hair and tend to bring acne and other changes with them. Because it's hormonal at the root, the treatment has to handle that side too — which loops us right back to getting the diagnosis right first.
Hair takes its time, so you'll need some patience. Most people see the shedding ease off within a couple of months, with actual regrowth showing up around month four to six — give or take, depending on the cause and what we're treating you with.
