What is hair loss? Medically, significant hair loss (alopecia) occurs when the natural hair growth cycle is disrupted. Every hair follicle goes through three phases:
Losing 50-100 hairs per day is a normal part of this cycle. However, noticeable thinning or bald patches occur when more follicles than normal enter the resting phase, when the growth phase is shortened, or when the hair follicle itself is damaged or destroyed.

Let’s address some more common queries:
For many types of hair loss, such as those caused by stress or nutritional deficiencies, the hair will grow back once the underlying issue is resolved. For genetic hair loss, our treatments can significantly slow the process and help regrow hair that has recently been lost.
The “best” solution is the one that correctly targets the cause of your hair loss. This is why a medical diagnosis from a dermatologist is the most important step.
Treatments for genetic hair loss, like Minoxidil and Finasteride, require ongoing use to maintain their results. PRP and other therapies may require maintenance sessions.
