• Hormone fluctuations

• Ongoing or extreme stress

However, the exact cause of hair loss isn’t always known and could result from more than one risk factor. 

Which hair loss treatment is best for me?

Your Kessel Dermatology specialist determines which hair loss treatment best suits you after examining your scalp and hair, reviewing your medical history, and discussing your desired results. They may recommend blood tests to check for hormone imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, or other common causes of thinning hair before tailoring your treatment plan. 

Which hair loss solutions are available?

Kessel Dermatology offers numerous treatments for hair loss. The team offers platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections sourced from your blood to stimulate natural hair regrowth. Your Kessel Dermatology provider can also apply PRP directly to your scalp with microneedling.

Follow up with the team as needed to ensure your hair loss treatment is effective. 

If you have a medical condition responsible for hair loss, properly manage the condition with lifestyle changes and medications or make medication changes if needed.

How long does it take to regrow thinning hair?
