What causes hair loss? and ways to reverse it!

Hair loss, also known as Alopecia, is a condition that affects both Men and Women of all races and walks of life. Statistics have proven that 60% of men and 50% of women experience some degree of hair loss in their lifetime.  

There are many factors that can lead to thinning and loss of hair.  From hereditary history and genetics, to age, stress, poor nutrition, and even medical conditions such as anemia and thyroid disorders. Hair loss can also be caused by radiation and hormonal changes such as pregnancy or menopause. Much like with our collagen production, our bodies tend to slow down the process of growth as we age.  Unless we do something to spur our body to generate new growth, we stop producing it all together.  However, due to the complicated history of hair treatments, many people afflicted with hair loss believe there is nothing they can do short of expensive and (very) painful surgeries and transplants.  As the Aesthetic Industry has grown however, so have the advancements in treatments and ensuing results.

At Executive Esthetics, our personal favorite and most effective approach to treating hair loss is with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections, as it has up to 30 bioactive proteins that promote healing in human body tissue.  PRP also produces 7 protein growth factors that stimulate the process of wound healing & binding which are essential in promoting new hair growth.  PRP is derived from your own blood that we draw in-clinic and run through a special centrifuge to separate the growth platelets from the red blood cells.  Re-injecting this gold-colored plasma (also known as liquid gold) into the area of hair loss has shown tremendous results in stimulating new hair growth over a series of 3 (or more) monthly treatments.  PRP is minimally invasive and requires no downtime.

We also offer an exciting new treatment from HydraFacial called Keravive that has shown very impressive results in producing thicker healthier hair as well.  The HydraFacial’s patented “Vortex-Like Cleansing Technique” exfoliates and extracts dirt, oil, and any impurities from the scalp to un-clog hair follicles and clear the way for new hair growth.  Hydration, nutrients, and peptides are then infused into the scalp to spur the body to generate collagen and grow new hair.  Each Keravive treatment comes with a 30 day take-home spray of peptides and growth factors to further enhance the treatment and stimulate new growth. A recent study has shown 75% improvement in thickness, strength, shine, and new growth by the use of the hyper-concentrated blend of growth factors and skin proteins.

Medications and hormone replacement therapies are the least invasive but have also shown significant improvement in producing new hair growth. Very common topical or oral medications include Minoxidil or Finasteride, as they both can help slow down male and female pattern hair loss and even jumpstart regrowth of dormant follicles.  At Executive Esthetics we offer our own proprietary blend of Minoxidil and other specially formulated growth factors that can be applied at home to slow the loss of hair and spur new growth.

Our Executive Hair growth treatment plan at Executive Esthetics combines PRP with HydraFacial Keravive to work synergistically together for the most optimized results!  The HydraFacial Keravive treatment cleans and exfoliates the area to clear the way for new growth, PRP injections kickstart the body to create new collagen, and the take home Keravive solution of peptides continues to hydrate and spur new hair growth daily between treatments.

Hair loss can be one of the most frustrating side effects of the aging process. So much of what our society deems as young, healthy, and vibrant centers around the condition of our skin and hair.  It is important however to remember that you are not alone and have many options available to treat the condition regardless of your age, race, or gender.  The earlier we begin treating your hair loss conditions, the faster and fuller we can help you to regrow and thicken the lost volume and thickness!  Call, email, or visit us today for your free, confidential consultation and stop stressing about the hairs accumulating in your shower drain!
