Hair Restoration at NuVida Medical and Aesthetics
Hair loss is often linked to underlying genetic and medical conditions. Identifying these root causes is essential to prevent further hair loss and promote healthier regrowth. By addressing the causes, we provide treatments that improve both hair health and overall wellness.
At NuVida Medical and Aesthetics, we offer physician-grade laser therapy in combination with comprehensive hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to improve follicle health and address other contributing factors. Treating underlying conditions allows for noticeable improvements in both appearance and overall well-being.
Types of Hair Loss
Male and Female Genetic Hair Loss
Genetic hair loss, or androgenetic alopecia, affects both men and women. In men, it typically starts with a receding hairline and thinning at the crown. Women usually experience diffuse thinning on the top of the scalp while maintaining their hairline.
This type of hair loss is hereditary and caused by sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which shrinks hair follicles and causes scalp irritation over time.
Autoimmune-Related Hair Loss (Alopecia Areata)
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition in which the body attacks healthy hair follicles, causing patchy hair loss. This may affect the scalp or other body hair and can progress to complete hair loss in some cases. Treatment usually involves therapies to suppress the immune response and encourage hair regrowth.
Stress-Related Hair Loss (Telogen Effluvium)
Telogen effluvium occurs when physical or emotional stress causes hair follicles to prematurely enter the resting phase. Hair shedding usually becomes noticeable a few months after triggering events such as surgery, illness, or emotional stress. Addressing the underlying stressor is key for recovery.
Cancer-Related Hair Loss
Hair loss from chemotherapy or radiation occurs because these treatments target rapidly dividing cells, including hair follicles. While often temporary, hair may grow back with changes in texture, color, or quality. Supportive treatments during and after chemotherapy help promote regrowth and overall hair health.
Hair Analysis and Follicular Testing
As NHLMA affiliates, we perform detailed hair analysis and follicular testing to identify the specific causes of hair loss. Our analysis can detect nutrient deficiencies, food intolerances, toxin exposure, and markers for gut, heart, and overall health. This information guides treatments that not only restore hair but also enhance energy, skin health, and metabolic function.
Hormone Replacement Therapy for Hair Loss
If hormonal imbalance is identified as a contributing factor, HRT can be used for both men and women to restore balance. Women may benefit from estrogen, progesterone, or a combination therapy. Men may benefit from testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) to slow hair loss.
Benefits of Hair Restoration With HRT
- Offers Sustainable Results: HRT addresses the underlying hormonal imbalances for longer-lasting outcomes.
- Enhances Appearance and Well-Being: Balancing hormones supports hair growth while boosting energy, mood, and overall health.
- Prevents Future Hair Loss: Stabilizing hormone levels can slow or stop further thinning.
- Improves Skin and Nails: HRT supports healthier skin and stronger nails in addition to hair growth.
- Customizable Treatment: HRT is tailored to each patient’s specific hormone levels and needs.
Laser Therapy for Hair Loss
Low-level laser therapy uses medical-grade diodes in a comfortable cap worn at home. The light stimulates hair follicles, improves cell activity, and encourages healthier hair growth. The treatment is convenient, non-invasive, and only takes six minutes a day.
Prescription Treatments
Oral and topical prescription medications can help treat hair loss. Men may benefit from PROPECIA® (finasteride) to block DHT. Both men and women can use minoxidil or niacinamide-based topicals to stimulate hair growth and improve scalp health.
PRP for Hair Loss
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses growth factors extracted from your blood and injected into the scalp. PRP promotes hair follicle regeneration, improves hair density, and strengthens hair naturally by harnessing your body’s healing capabilities.
Microneedling for Hair Loss
Microneedling creates microchannels in the scalp, stimulating growth factors that regenerate follicles and promote new hair growth. It can be used alone or combined with PRP for enhanced results.
Scalp-Nourishing Hair Care
Proper hair care supports scalp health and hair growth. Treatments like scalp detoxes remove DHT buildup and bacteria that may clog follicles. Scalp serums and conditioning treatments maintain moisture and a healthy environment for hair growth. Even water filtration can impact scalp and hair quality by reducing harsh minerals and chemicals.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Restoration
How Much Hair Shedding Is Normal?
Shedding 50 to 100 hairs per day is normal as part of the natural growth cycle. Noticeable thinning or higher shedding may indicate underlying issues and warrants a consultation.
Is My Hair Loss Linked to a Health Issue?
Hair loss can be related to hormonal imbalances, autoimmune conditions, or nutrient deficiencies. Hair analysis can detect toxins, mineral imbalances, and other contributing factors.
Are Treatments FDA-Approved?
Many of our treatments, including laser therapy, are FDA-approved or cleared. All treatments are safe, effective, and designed to promote hair regrowth at home or in-office.
What Changes Can I Expect After Chemotherapy?
Hair regrowth after chemotherapy may be slower, and texture or thickness may differ. Some patients experience temporary or permanent changes, including androgenetic alopecia. With proper care and treatment, hair health can be restored.
How Do I Know If Hormonal Imbalance Is Causing Hair Loss?
Blood tests can determine if hormone levels are contributing to hair thinning. Symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, weight gain, and skin issues alongside hair loss may indicate a hormonal cause suitable for HRT.
How Long Until Results Are Visible?
Hair restoration results usually appear within three to six months. Individual responses vary depending on the severity and type of treatment. Continued monitoring ensures optimal outcomes.
