Hello! I’m Lauren, the aesthetic injector here at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center.  Since you still see some fine hairs there, it may just be a case of slower regrowth or miniaturized hair, not permanent loss. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy could help, it uses your own blood to extract growth factors that are injected into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles and improve thickness and regrowth over time. It’s most effective when hair is thinning, not completely gone.

To address the issue of less dense hair in the left corner of your hairline, consider the following strategies:

Assess Hair Care Routine: Ensure you are using gentle hair care products that do not contain harsh chemicals. Opt for sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners that promote scalp health.

Nutritional Support: A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly those that support hair health like biotin, zinc, and iron, can be beneficial. Consider a multivitamin supplement if your diet lacks these nutrients.

Topical Treatments: Over-the-counter topical treatments containing minoxidil can help stimulate hair growth in areas with thinning hair. Consistent application is key for seeing results.

Scalp Massage: Regular scalp massages can improve blood circulation to the hair follicles, potentially promoting hair growth.

Consult a Dermatologist: If the issue persists, a dermatologist can evaluate your scalp and hair health. They may recommend treatments such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy or other interventions tailored to your specific needs.

Stress Management: Stress can impact hair growth, so incorporating stress-reducing activities like exercise, meditation, or yoga might be beneficial.

Patience: Hair growth can be a slow process, and it may take several months to see noticeable improvements. Consistency with treatments and a healthy lifestyle will support the best outcomes.

If the thinning persists or worsens, seeking professional advice will provide more personalized and effective solutions.

Be sure to see an expert. That would sure be a big mistake to assume you can’t have AGA simply because others don’t have it so I wouldn’t stick with that too strongly. All in all, see an expert so that causes of hair loss can be properly evaluated and any blood tests ordered.
