Understanding Hair Loss: Common Causes and Treatment Options at Elevate Wellness and Medspa

Hair loss can be a distressing experience for both men and women, affecting self-esteem and overall confidence. Understanding the underlying reasons for hair loss and the physiological changes that occur can be crucial in addressing this common issue. At Elevate Wellness and Medspa, we provide comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatments to help you regain your confidence.


The Hair Shedding Cycle

Hair undergoes a natural shedding cycle that includes three main phases:

Anagen Phase

This is the growth phase where hair actively grows for several years.

Catagen Phase

This transitional phase lasts a few weeks. Hair growth slows down, and the hair follicle shrinks.

Telogen Phase

During this resting phase, which lasts about three months, hair does not grow but remains attached to the follicle until it is eventually shed. Hair loss occurs when more hairs enter the telogen phase than the anagen phase.

As we age, or due to various other factors, the balance of this cycle can be disrupted, leading to thinning and excessive shedding.

Common Hair Loss Diagnoses

The following are the top five hair loss diagnoses commonly encountered:

Also known as male or female pattern baldness, this hereditary condition typically presents as gradual thinning on the crown or a receding hairline in men, and thinning across the part line in women.

Often triggered by stress, hormonal changes, or shock to the body (such as surgery or illness), this condition causes a significant increase in hair shedding and can be temporary.

This autoimmune disorder results in sudden, patchy hair loss and can affect hair on the scalp and other areas of the body. The extent and duration of hair loss can vary.

This type of hair loss is caused by prolonged tension or pulling on the hair, often due to tight hairstyles such as braids, ponytails, or extensions.

Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid disorders can lead to imbalances that provoke hair thinning and loss.

Comprehensive Assessment

At Elevate Wellness and Medspa, we begin with a thorough assessment that includes **trichoscopy** performed by our licensed cosmetologist. This specialized examination allows us to visualize the scalp and hair follicles in detail, identifying any abnormalities such as miniaturization of hair follicles, inflammation, or scalp conditions that may contribute to hair loss. This information is invaluable in developing a targeted treatment plan.

Treatment Options for Hair Loss at Elevate Wellness and Medspa

Our treatment options are designed to restore hair health and promote growth, addressing the underlying causes of hair loss while enhancing scalp rejuvenation.

This innovative treatment cleanses, exfoliates, and nourishes the scalp. The process involves three key steps:

Cleansing and Exfoliation

Removing excess sebum and dead skin to create a healthy scalp environment.

Hydration

Infusing the scalp with a specialized blend of growth factors and proteins that nourish the hair follicles.

Stimulating Circulation

A soothing massage increases blood flow to the hair follicles, promoting growth and overall scalp health.

The benefits include thicker, healthier hair, improved scalp condition, and increasing your hair’s potential for growth.

PRP therapy harnesses your body’s natural healing abilities. A small amount of blood is drawn, and the plasma rich in growth factors is injected into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles. To enhance comfort during the procedure, we offer **Pronox**, a nitrous oxide delivery system that provides mild sedation and reduces anxiety.

This non-invasive treatment uses specific light wavelengths to stimulate hair follicles and encourage hair growth. LED Light Stim promotes cellular metabolism, enhances blood flow, and delivers nutrients to the scalp.

Our formulations contain potent peptides and growth factors designed to nourish the scalp, promote hair thickness, and support hair growth. These serums can be integrated into your daily routine for enhanced results.
