Hair Loss & Thinning

Catch it early. Keep what you have.

Thinning hair is one of the few concerns where timing genuinely changes the outcome. Follicles that are weakening can often be strengthened; follicles that have been dormant for years generally can't be brought back. That makes an honest early assessment the most valuable thing we do here.

The approach

How we actually fix it.

Hair loss follows patterns, and the pattern tells us a great deal. Men typically lose ground at the temples and crown, driven largely by DHT sensitivity in those follicles. Women more often thin diffusely across the top of the scalp, with the part line gradually widening — the change most patients notice first, usually in a photograph rather than the mirror. Other causes look different again: thyroid disease, iron deficiency, postpartum shedding, rapid weight loss, and stress-related telogen effluvium each have their own signature, and several are reversible once the underlying cause is addressed.

That's why the consult starts with questions and, when warranted, labs — not with a treatment recommendation. Treating pattern hair loss when the real driver is low ferritin wastes your money and your time.

Where the follicles are miniaturizing but still alive, PRF hair restoration is our primary tool: platelet-rich fibrin drawn from your own blood and injected into the scalp across a short series, releasing growth factors that thicken and strengthen existing hair. It's regenerative rather than pharmaceutical, which appeals to patients who'd rather not commit to a daily medication indefinitely. Select peptide protocols can support hair and scalp health alongside it, and vitamin injections address the deficiencies that sometimes turn out to be the whole story.

We're straightforward about the ceiling. No injectable regrows hair from scalp that has been smooth for a decade, and anyone promising that is selling something. What's realistic — and genuinely worth doing — is holding onto the hair you have and improving its density and quality, which is why we'd always rather see you at the first sign of change than three years in.
