What causes hair loss?

Hair loss isn't always as simple as getting older or having a family history of thinning hair. Genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, stress, and lifestyle factors can all play a role. For some people, several factors may be contributing at the same time.

That's why figuring out why you're losing hair is an important first step. At Sensotherapy Weight Loss and Wellness, your provider takes a closer look at your individual health rather than treating hair loss as purely a cosmetic concern.

Your evaluation may consider:

• Your family history
• Your medical history
• Hormone levels
• Genetic factors
• Changes in your health or medications
• Lifestyle and other potential contributors

For men, hormonal changes, including changes involving testosterone, can affect the health and size of hair follicles and contribute to male pattern hair loss.

Is hair loss permanent?

Losing your hair now doesn't necessarily mean there's no chance to improve the situation. Depending on what's causing your hair loss, medical treatment may help slow or stop progression and, in some cases, support regrowth. Your individual results will depend on factors such as the cause and extent of your hair loss.

If you've noticed your hairline changing or your hair becoming noticeably thinner, schedule an appointment at Sensotherapy Weight Loss and Wellness. Early evaluation can help identify potential contributing factors and determine whether treatment may be appropriate.

What does hair loss treatment involve?

Your treatment starts with understanding what's happening with your hair and your overall health. Sensotherapy Weight Loss and Wellness uses a medical approach that may include evaluating your genetic markers, hormone levels, and health history before developing a treatment strategy.

Depending on your individual situation, treatment may be designed to help slow hair loss, protect existing follicles, and potentially encourage healthier hair growth. Ongoing monitoring allows your provider to assess how you're responding to treatment and make adjustments when appropriate.

And don't expect overnight results. Hair growth takes time. Noticeable results may take 3-6 months, making consistency and patience an important part of the hair restoration process.

Hair loss can be disconcerting. Thankfully, you have options. Call Sensotherapy Weight Loss and Wellness or schedule an appointment online today to learn more about personalized hair loss treatment.
