POSSIBLE CAUSES
What is Happening to My Hair?
Your genetics can play a role in the amount and texture of your hair, so even as a young adult you might wish for a fuller, more luxuriant head of hair.
Heredity determines whether you start to lose hair as you get older. Male-pattern baldness is fairly common and is typically characterized by thinning at the crown and/or a receding hairline. But women can also experience a similar issue: female-pattern baldness. This most often appears as thinning or balding in various areas of the scalp.
But, this is just one of several factors that can cause hair loss or thinning. Let’s take a look at some others.
Aging
As you get older, hair growth slows and your hairs become finer and may lose pigment. So you may experience thinning, in certain areas or overall, making your scalp more visible.
Alopecia Areata
This medical condition affects millions of men and women and is characterized by sudden hair loss that occurs in patches. Alopecia areata is thought to be brought on by severe stress and manifests with the immune system attacking hair follicles.
Hormonal Changes
Up to 50% of women lose hair after pregnancy and this can continue for several months. The rise in hormones during pregnancy allows hair to remain in place, even during its resting phase, which precludes actual loss. When hormone levels begin to return to normal postpartum, the hairs that were in the resting phase will fall out.
As women head into menopause, estrogen and progesterone levels begin to drop steadily. This causes less hair to grow and more to fall out, giving women’s hair a thinner appearance. For men, a drop in testosterone can be blamed. Individual hair follicles begin to shrink and over time, those follicles lose their ability to regenerate new hair, thus thinning and balding become apparent.
SOLUTIONS
A Personalized Plan
We offer a few different treatment options depending on your unique situation. Whether your hair is thinning or you’re ready to cleanse your scalp to allow more natural growth, our skilled aestheticians will guide you to the appropriate solution.
Nutrafol®
One option is to prescribe a hair regrowth supplement called Nutrafol. This is an FDA-approved supplement that, when used consistently, stimulates new hair growth and improves hair health. Nutrafol gives your hair a “head start” on better health, enabling other treatments to work even better for you.
HydraFacial® Keravive Scalp Treatment
This is similar to our popular HydraFacial® skin treatment, but this version is specifically designed to improve skin on the scalp rather than on your face. It is safe even for pregnant women, because we can adjust the serum formula for each patient.
HydraFacial Keravive deep cleans in ways shampooing cannot, removing accumulated debris from hair follicles. When dry shampoo, hair products, oil, sebum, dandruff and dead skin cells build up over time, it prevents whatever topical products you’re using to improve hair health from doing their job. Keravive cleaning enables PRP or serum applications and hair growth spray to work better.
AquaFirmeXS
AquaFirmeXS is the latest medical innovation specially designed to help exfoliate, oxygenate and permeate nutrients into the skin and scalp area. We use custom-tailored exosome based serums to address your own unique hair growth/hair loss concerns. This treatment helps to revitalize your skin and scalp using ultrasound technology to penetrate the dermal layer of the scalp, where it can deliver the serums effectively and without any pain.
Maintaining Your Hair Growth After Treatment
Our hair growth treatments offer impressive results, each working in a unique way. Nutrafol, HydraFacial Keravive, AquaFirmeXS, and PRP therapy can all help nourish the scalp and stimulate continued growth.
But what happens after you complete treatment? Maintaining results is equally important. We recommend following a consistent hair care routine and using medically backed products as the best way to keep your new hair growth for the long term.
Avoiding harsh chemical treatments, using gentle shampoos, good nutrition, and staying hydrated can also support long-term hair health.
Combining Treatments for Maximum Results
The Image Surgical Arts team may recommend combining treatments for optimal hair restoration. For example, Hydrafacial Keravive is similar to a Hydrafacial for the face, but it’s specifically designed for deep-down scalp cleaning. It can create the ideal environment for a treatment like PRP.
Nutrafol supplements complement these treatments by addressing internal factors like inflammation and nutrient deficiencies. Patients can achieve fuller, healthier hair faster by using a multi-faceted approach.
Hair Restoration Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
At Image Surgical Arts, we offer PRP therapy, HydraFacial Keravive, AquaFirmeXS with exosomes, and Nutrafol supplements — all industry-leading treatments proven to enhance hair growth without surgery. These treatments work to improve scalp health, stimulate follicles, and nourish hair at the root.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy involves extracting platelets rich in growth factors from your blood and injecting them into the scalp. These growth factors stimulate dormant follicles, improve blood circulation, and enhance hair thickness and density over time.
The AquaFirme XS system combines three advanced techniques — micro-cupping, massage, and ultrasound — to deeply nourish the scalp, stimulate circulation, and enhance follicle health by delivering essential plant-based exosomes directly to the hair roots with no needles.
Nutrafol is a clinically tested hair supplement that targets the underlying reasons for hair thinning, such as stress, hormonal imbalances, and poor nutrition.
Unlike generic hair vitamins, Nutrafol contains botanical ingredients, marine collagen, and stress adaptogens to support thicker, stronger hair growth from within.
Results vary depending on the treatment used. AquaFirme XS therapy typically shows visible improvement within several weeks to a few months. PRP may take around three months to start revealing its results.
Nutrafol supplements and HydraFacial produce gradual changes over several months. Consistency in treatment and a healthy lifestyle can accelerate and sustain hair growth.
HydraFacial Keravive and AquaFirme XS are both safe during pregnancy, and our team can tailor your treatment serum for your unique needs.
Nutrafol has a special formula for postpartum hair loss. With PRP, our experts generally recommend waiting until after having your baby to start treatment.
