Thinning Strands: Understanding the Causes of Hair Loss and Effective Solutions from a Dermatologist

Losing your hair can be unsettling and embarrassing. It can be a frightening experience too, especially if you don’t know what is causing your hair loss. If you are losing your hair, you need to turn to your dermatologist for help. The dermatologists at Saddleback Dermatology and Laser Center in Lake Forest, CA, offer a wide range of medical and cosmetic dermatology services, including treatments for hair loss.

What You Need to Know about Hair Loss

There are several factors that can lead to hair loss, including:

  • Genetics and family history
  • Anemia or protein deficiency
  • Low vitamin and nutrient levels
  • Chemotherapy and radiation treatment
  • Thyroid disease or autoimmune conditions

The dermatology professionals at Saddleback Dermatology and Laser Center offer platelet-rich plasma, also known as PRP, to treat hair loss. PRP treatment begins with your dermatology professional taking a small blood sample from you. The blood sample is placed in a centrifuge, which separates out the components in your blood, including PRP. The platelet-rich plasma is re-injected into your skin and works to promote the regrowth of hair.

So, why should you choose PRP treatment for hair loss? PRP treatment is natural, using your body’s own platelets to repair hair follicles and boost hair production. It’s also safe, with rigorous testing and approval by the FDA. PRP hair loss treatment will:

  • Decrease or eliminate hair loss
  • Promote the growth of healthy, new hair
  • Improve the volume and appearance of your hair
