I do believe there’s definitely a place for regenerative interventions when it comes to addressing your hair loss. Whether it’s through medications, supplements, or procedural treatments, early intervention tends to offer the best outcomes. Since this is a concern for you, I’d recommend starting with a comprehensive evaluation by a physician who specializes in hair restoration. This can help identify any underlying or reversible causes of your hair loss.
If it turns out that your hair loss is due to androgenetic alopecia (which is very common), and you're not ready to start with medications, options like PRP and other regenerative modalities can be worth considering. In my experience, a combination approach—incorporating treatments, supplements, red light therapy, and good daily hair care practices—tends to be the most effective.
Working under the guidance of a specialist, whether it's a dermatologist, hair restoration physician, or plastic surgeon, can help you explore and weigh your options thoughtfully. I generally recommend reserving hair transplant as a later option once less invasive strategies have been explored. Ultimately, the best path forward involves a detailed assessment and a collaborative, personalized plan between you and your provider—always keeping in mind the associated costs, upkeep, and potential risks of any intervention.
Hair loss is multifactorial, with hormones being a leading cause. However, before exploring treatments, I recommend ensuring that any underlying medical conditions, such as hypothyroidism, are well managed. It’s important to work with a dermatologist or physician to assess your overall health and make any necessary adjustments to medications, so you’re not working against an unresolved root cause.
Once your health is stabilized, we can optimize your hair restoration journey with advanced modalities like low-level light therapy, medications (including statewide), PRP, etc. While these treatments can be highly effective, addressing the underlying cause of hair loss is essential to achieving the best possible results.
