When hormones are out of balance it can contribute to hair loss. Certain androgens can damage particular hair follicles that are sensitive to them. A comprehensive hormone panel that looks beyond just the basic hormones will reveal if some of these androgens are possibly contributing towards hair loss.
Unfortunately as we age blood vessels and nourishment to the follicles naturally diminish causing them to be depleted of needed nourishment. We can help stimulate growth of new blood vessels by injecting your bodies own signaling proteins into the scalp causing new growth. The new blood vessels bring nourishment and revitalize any living follicles.
Another way is to use our formulated topical treatment that is designed to vasodilator existing blood vessels around the follicles giving them more nourishment. Neither of these two treatments will restore any follicles that have already died.
Significant stress can cause hair follicles to stay in a resting phase and eventually fall out. Stress also causes other negative effects on our bodies from adrenal fatigue to immune imbalances. If stress is having a negative impact on your body we can help with natural treatments to balance the nervous system and support adrenals.
Scalp infections especially in fungal origin can cause hair loss, as well as itchiness and flaky skin. If you think that you might have this issue we can provide lab tests to determine if fungal infections are present and natural treatments that can be taken both topically and orally.
If you are experiencing hair loss and would like to discuss this further we would love to talk to you. We will be more than happy to discuss our approach in greater details before you make a decision about your health.
