Hair thinning can be distressing, whether it’s gradual or sudden. It affects both men and women and can be caused by a variety of internal and external factors. Fortunately, advances in regenerative medicine like Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy are offering hope, especially for those seeking a natural, non-surgical approach.

Let’s explore the most common causes of hair loss and how PRP therapy, offered at Skinethica Plus in Burlingame, can help restore fuller, healthier hair using the power of your own body.

Common Causes of Hair Thinning

Hair loss isn’t always a result of genetics. In fact, it often has multiple underlying causes that vary between men and women:

• Hormonal imbalances: Changes due to menopause, thyroid disorders, or testosterone fluctuations can weaken hair follicles.
• Genetics: Androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) affects both sexes, often beginning in the 20s–30s.
• Chronic stress: Emotional or physical stress can shift hair from the growth phase to the shedding phase.
• Nutritional deficiencies: Low iron, vitamin D, biotin, and protein can slow follicle activity.
• Postpartum hair loss: Common in women after childbirth due to hormone shifts.
• Medical conditions & medications: Autoimmune diseases, chemotherapy, or blood pressure meds can contribute.

Understanding the root cause of your thinning is key to choosing the right treatment, and that’s where personalized PRP therapy comes in. This minimally invasive procedure uses your body’s natural growth factors to stimulate hair follicles, improve circulation to the scalp, and encourage long-term hair regrowth.

What to Expect After PRP Therapy

PRP therapy isn’t an overnight fix, it’s a regenerative process that improves gradually and sustainably:

• Weeks 1–2: Minimal changes; scalp may feel sensitive or tight
• Weeks 4–6: Initial signs of reduced shedding
• Month 3: New fine hairs start to appear
• Months 4–6: Noticeable improvement in density and hair texture
• Month 6+: Continued growth with follow-up maintenance sessions every 4–6 months

Consistency is key, and our providers will build a schedule that aligns with your hair cycle and lifestyle.
