On average, individuals typically lose around 100 hairs a day. This usually doesn’t cause noticeable thinning of hair because new hair is growing in at the same time. Excessive hair loss occurs when the cycle of hair growth and shedding is disrupted, or when the hair follicle is destroyed and replaced with scar tissue. At Bay Medical Aesthetics, we offer effective hair loss treatment for individuals who are experiencing hair thinning, receding hairline or an excess amount of hair falling out.
Hair can thin or lose its volume as a result of predetermined genetic factors and the natural aging process, such as is the case with male pattern baldness. Many men and women may notice mild thinning of hair starting in their 30s and 40s. One common cause in women is telogen effluvium (also known as postpartum hair loss), which is related to the hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy. Health conditions such as thyroid disease, vitamin deficiencies and autoimmune disorders can also contribute to hair loss.
Other factors that can increase the likelihood of hair loss include:
Our clinic recommends mesotherapy and platelet-rich plasma injections as effective hair-loss treatments for both males and females. Both work for hair loss by stimulating hair growth through delivering nutrients to the hair and improving blood circulation. They also work to strengthen hair follicles for thicker and healthier hair, making them both excellent treatment options for thinning hair.
