What Causes Hair Loss?
Hair loss can be a distressing condition for many patients. There are numerous causes of hair loss and it is important to seek expert dermatologic care to identify the exact type of hair loss you may be experiencing.
Androgenetic alopecia, or hereditary hair loss, is the most prevalent cause and affects both men and women. Other causes of hair loss can include hormonal imbalances due to thyroid issues or pregnancy, autoimmune diseases such as alopecia areata, severe infections or illnesses, stress, nutritional deficiencies, fungal infections, medications or harsh or aggressive hair styling practices.

- Rapid or substantial shedding of hair
- Bald patches or noticeable thinning
- Accompanied symptoms such as itching, redness, or pain in the scalp
- Hair falling out in clumps
- Family history of severe hair loss
- Hair loss following a new medication or after a recent illness.

At Evolve Dermatology, our dermatologists offer platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative treatment that can help stimulate hair growth for those experiencing hair loss. PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting this platelet-rich plasma directly into your scalp. These platelets release growth factors that can encourage natural hair growth and improve the thickness of your hair.
