Understanding Hair Loss

Hair loss, also known as alopecia, can affect both men and women at any age. Common causes of hair loss include genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, and lifestyle factors. Understanding the root cause of your hair loss is crucial for determining the most effective treatment plan.

What causes hair loss?

• Androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness)
• Telogen effluvium (caused by traumatic experiences)
• Alopecia areata (inflammatory reaction caused by the immune system)
• Pressure/traction alopecia (caused by tight hairstyles and pulling)
• Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (scarring hair loss from autoimmune diseases or genetics)
• Frontal fibrosing alopecia (frontal scalp hair loss caused by hormones, environmental factors, or genetics)
• Medication-induced alopecia (hair loss caused by a side effect of medication)

It is best to have a dermatologist evaluate you to determine the cause of your hair loss and talk to you about what has occurred. Medical history, prescription medications used, and any other information contributing to a proper diagnosis are often discussed during the initial consultation appointment and evaluation. With a definitive diagnosis, patients can then work on finding a treatment that works for their unique situation.

Personalized Hair Loss Treatment Plans

At Kirsch Dermatology, we offer personalized hair loss treatment plans tailored to your unique needs. Our comprehensive approach ensures that we address the underlying causes of hair loss to provide long-lasting results. Some of our most popular hair loss treatments include:

Vitamins and nutritional supplements

These can play a crucial role in supporting hair health and preventing hair loss. Key supplements include:

• Biotin (Vitamin B7): Essential for keratin production, which strengthens hair and promotes growth.
• Vitamin D: Deficiency can lead to hair thinning and loss. Supplementation helps support hair follicle health.
• Vitamin E: Acts as an antioxidant, promoting scalp health and hair growth.
• Iron: Essential for oxygen transport to hair follicles. Deficiency can cause hair loss, so supplementation is vital.
• Zinc: Supports hair tissue growth and repair, and helps keep oil glands around follicles working properly.
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in fish oil supplements, they reduce inflammation and nourish hair follicles.

PRP Injections (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting the platelet-rich plasma into the scalp. Platelets contain growth factors that stimulate hair follicles, promoting new hair growth and improving hair density. This minimally invasive treatment is popular for its effectiveness and minimal downtime.

HydraFacial Keravive

HydraFacial Keravive is a unique scalp treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the scalp. It involves a three-step process: a deep cleanse to remove dirt and oil, exfoliation with a gentle peel to unclog hair follicles, and hydration with a nourishing serum that promotes scalp health and stimulates hair growth. This treatment is ideal for improving scalp circulation and creating an optimal environment for hair growth.

Immunomodulators (Topical and Oral)

Immunomodulators help regulate the immune system and can be used to treat autoimmune-related hair loss, such as alopecia areata. Topical immunomodulators, like tacrolimus and pimecrolimus, reduce inflammation and immune response on the scalp. Oral immunomodulators, such as corticosteroids and other immunosuppressants, can also be prescribed for more severe cases.

Steroids (Topical and Oral)

Steroids are commonly used to treat inflammatory scalp conditions that lead to hair loss. Topical steroids, such as clobetasol and betamethasone, reduce inflammation and immune response in the scalp. Oral steroids, like prednisone, are used for more severe cases to quickly reduce inflammation and promote hair regrowth.

Oral Spironolactone

Spironolactone is an oral medication primarily used to treat androgenetic alopecia in women. It works as an androgen blocker, reducing the effects of male hormones (androgens) that can cause hair loss. By decreasing androgen production, spironolactone helps reduce hair thinning and promotes regrowth.

Ketoconazole Prescription Shampoos

Ketoconazole is an antifungal medication commonly found in prescription-strength shampoos. It helps treat dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, which can contribute to hair loss. Ketoconazole shampoos also have anti-androgenic properties, reducing the effects of androgens on the scalp and promoting healthier hair growth.

Oral Finasteride

Finasteride is an oral medication used to treat male pattern baldness. It works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a key factor in androgenetic alopecia, so reducing its levels helps slow hair loss and promote regrowth.

Oral Dutasteride

Dutasteride is similar to finasteride but is a more potent inhibitor of 5-alpha-reductase. It reduces DHT levels more effectively, making it an option for patients who do not respond to finasteride. Dutasteride is used to treat androgenetic alopecia and can result in significant hair regrowth.

Minoxidil (Topical and Oral)

Minoxidil is a well-known treatment for hair loss, available in both topical and oral forms. Topical minoxidil is applied directly to the scalp, stimulating hair follicles and increasing blood flow to promote hair growth. Oral minoxidil, though less commonly used, can be prescribed for more severe cases and works systemically to improve hair density and growth.
