HAIR THINNING / HAIR LOSS

Less fullness, excessive shedding, a widening part, and creeping hairlines are all signs of hair loss, which is experienced by millions of men and women at some point in their life. The average human scalp has 110,000 hair follicles and it is normal to lose between 50-100 hairs every day. Hair loss can be a very stressful experience that comes with insecurities and unnecessary anxiety about your appearance.

What Causes Hair Loss & Thinning Hair? 

• Genetics – Unfortunately, some of us are just predisposed to hair loss or thinning hair.
• Hormones – Innate or supplemental Testosterone converts to DHT which is a strong enemy to the hair follicle in men and women. Women can have excess Testosterone & DHT when they have a condition called Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).  Loss of estrogen also contributes to hair loss.
• Metabolic Changes – Pregnancy, PCOS, Hypothyroidism
• Poor Scalp Health 
• Inflammation/Infection – Fungal rash, Psoriasis, Seborrhea
• Medications – common culprits include: Blood thinners, Chemotherapy agents, Blood pressure medications, Accutane, Oral Contraceptives, Seizure medications, Anti-depressant/anxiety medications
• Poor Nutrition, Vitamin & Micronutrient deficiencies – extreme weight loss, acute illness, leaky gut syndrome, Iron, Vitamin D, and Zinc deficiencies
• Over-processing – excessive chlorine exposure, use of products with sulfates/parabens
• Emotional/physical stress

Effective treatments play a role in stimulating hair follicles back into the growth phase and increasing the number, size and strength of the follicles.

ReJuv offers the following to treat hair loss:

• KeraLase – KeraLase is an in-office procedure that takes less than 30 minutes and is painless. This procedure is done by using the Ultra LaseMD device to make tiny micro-channels in the scalp. This then allows for increased absorption of the KeraFactor serum which contains proprietary bio-identical growth factors to help decrease hair loss and facilitate new growth.
• Platlet Rich Plasma/Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRP/PRF) – a solution prepared from your own blood platelets that are packed with helpful growth factors that when injected into the scalp, stimulate the hair follicles, and increase blood flow ultimately leading to thickening of the hair shaft.
• Prescription medications like Propecia, Rogaine, and Spironolactone
• Topical Hair Growth serums that are formulated with growth factors, peptides, cytokines, stem cells, and sometimes specialty shampoos and conditioners, like KeraFactor. 
• Low Level Laser Treatments like the Revian®Red Cap – an FDA cleared device that promotes growth factors, increases blood supply, and decreases inflammation
• Nutritional Improvement and Supplements – Clients may benefit from a discussion with our Registered Dietitian regarding diet, food sensitivity, and supplements. We also offer Nutrafol®, a comprehensive physician formula supplement that targets hair loss and is clinically proven to increase hair growth.
