How to Stop Hair Loss

While we often think of hair loss as a condition that affects men, women can also experience thinning hair. Hair loss can have a serious impact on your self-esteem. Fortunately, this condition is treatable, and most people can see significant improvements in their hair thickness and fullness.

What Causes Hair Loss or Thinning Hair?

The most common type of hair loss has a strong genetic component. Other causes of hair loss or thinning hair can include stress, illness, certain medications, hormonal changes, and physical damage to the hair. Some people may see improvements in their thinning hair with at-home methods. Others will need more intensive treatment, especially those with a genetic predisposition to hair loss.

How to Stop Hair Loss

At ZENA Medical, your dermatologist will begin your treatment with a detailed medical assessment. They will develop a comprehensive plan for your hair restoration that may include several of the following:

Minoxidil

This FDA-approved topical agent is applied to the scalp to stimulate hair growth. This prescription medication can help both men and women regrow hair. You may have heard of this product by one of its brand names, Rogaine. We have our preferred brand that combines minoxidil with other topical agents.

NeoGenesis

This stem cell treatment nourishes and boosts the hair follicles of fine or thinning hair. Hair grows back thicker and healthier. You will see better scalp coverage and fuller-looking hair less prone to breakage and shedding.

Viviscal

This daily oral supplement improves the health of your hair and stimulates hair growth. It contains a scientifically designed combination of vitamins and amino acids. With regular use, you will see healthier, fuller hair with less breakage and shedding.

PRP

PRP or platelet-rich plasma harvests the healing and growth factors from a sample of your blood. When injected into the scalp, these platelets stimulate better blood flow to the scalp, trigger dormant follicles to grow hair, and give you stronger, thicker hair.

Keralase

This treatment uses a laser to create tiny micro-channels in the scalp. Your dermatologist applies the proprietary KeraFactor serum containing growth factors and proteins to boost hair growth and improve scalp and hair health.
