Hair Loss Overview
Hair loss at any age can be extremely upsetting for men and women alike. Hair loss can be progressive, relentless, and even embarrassing. Luckily, at Texas Facial Aesthetics, we specialize in hair restoration. Dr. Richardson is fellowship-trained in hair restoration surgery and the non-surgical management of hair loss.
The first step in assessing hair loss treatment options is to perform a thorough history and physical exam. During your consultation, Dr. Richardson will ask about your medical history, any family history of hair loss, the duration of hair loss, what areas are affected, and what other treatments have been tried. A thorough exam of the scalp and hair will then be performed, along with a series of photographs of the hair and scalp.
Hair loss can be caused by hormones, thyroid disorders, autoimmune problems, infection, medications, and many other causes. Androgenetic hair loss (AGA) is hair loss that is related to the affects of hormones on the scalp. This is commonly known as “male-pattern baldness”, but women may be affected as well. While female hair loss is not as well understood, the male hormone that causes hair loss on the scalp is a breakdown product of testosterone known as dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The enzyme that produces DHT is blocked by the prescription drug Propecia, which is designed to slow or stop the progression of hair loss, and may even result in increased hair mass.
At Texas Facial Aesthetics, we offer the full range of hair restoration options, including hair transplantation procedures, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, medical management with topical minoxidil and oral finasteride (Propecia), nutritional supplements from the Viviscal Professional line, and products such as shampoos, conditioners, masks, and serums from HairMedica that are designed to slow or stop the progression of hair loss.
HAIR LOSS PRODUCTS
We have many different options to help clients reach their maximum potential and achieve the results they are looking for. Hair loss affects more than 60% of men and 20% or more of women. While not all people with hair loss will progress to complete baldness, many people will have noticeable thinning.
Hair loss or hair thinning can result in a lack of confidence and can be embarrassing. Even if you aren’t ready to consider a hair transplant or other hair procedures, we have many different products options that are simple to use, non-invasive, and can make a real difference on hair quality and hair mass, resulting in a thicker, fuller head of hair.
We offer nutritional supplements from the Viviscal Professional line (only available from salons, spas, and physicians) and LaserCap laser hair therapy devices for use in our hair restoration practice. We often recommend that patients use these products in conjunction with other treatments such as minoxidil (Rogaine), finasteride (Propecia), platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, and even hair transplants. Dr. Richardson can discuss all the various treatment options with you and formulate a personalized treatment regiment that can maintain or bring back the hair you desire.
Viviscal Professional supplements are important parts of an effective long-term treatment regimen for hair loss.
