Hair Loss

Understanding Hair Loss

Hair loss may be related to genetics, hormones, illness, medication, stress, nutrition, or inflammatory scalp disease. A medical evaluation is important because different patterns require different treatment and some forms can lead to permanent follicle damage.

Where Regenerative Medicine May Fit

PRP has a growing evidence base for androgenetic alopecia and may improve hair density or thickness for selected patients. Results vary, maintenance may be needed, and PRP is not equally appropriate for every type of hair loss. Exosome and cell-derived products remain less established.

Planning Your Next Step

Choose a dermatologist or experienced hair-restoration clinician who confirms the diagnosis before treatment. Ask how PRP is prepared, how many sessions are planned, what maintenance may be needed, and how response will be documented.

Questions to Ask a Provider

  • What diagnosis or tissue is responsible for my hair loss symptoms?
  • Which treatment are you recommending, and what evidence supports it for my diagnosis?
  • Who will perform the procedure, and will imaging or other guidance be used when appropriate?
  • What benefits, limitations, alternatives, recovery plan, follow-up, and total costs should I expect?
