Hair Loss: More Than Just Genetics
Hair loss is one of the most common concerns I see in my practice, and while many assume it’s only about genetics or aging, the truth is more complex. Hair loss is often a symptom of an underlying health issue—not the root problem itself.
From hormonal hair loss and nutrient deficiencies to stress, autoimmune conditions, and scalp disorders, there are multiple factors that can disrupt the hair growth cycle. Understanding why it’s happening is the critical first step in effective hair restoration treatment.

Common Causes of Hair Loss
While each patient’s situation is unique, here are some of the most frequent contributors I evaluate:
Genetics (Androgenetic Alopecia): Often called male or female pattern baldness, this is the most common type.
Hormonal Shifts: Thyroid disorders, pregnancy, menopause, or elevated DHT (dihydrotestosterone).
Nutrient Deficiencies: Low iron, vitamin D, zinc, or protein can weaken follicles.
Stress & Inflammation: Chronic stress can trigger shedding (telogen effluvium) or worsen inflammatory scalp conditions.
Medical Conditions: Autoimmune disorders such as alopecia areata, or chronic illnesses that impact follicle function.
Medications & Treatments: Certain prescriptions, chemotherapy, and even some over-the-counter products can accelerate thinning.
Why a One-Size-Fits-All Approach Doesn’t Work
Over-the-counter hair growth shampoos or generic vitamins may help some, but they rarely address the root cause of hair loss. If the underlying problem isn’t identified—whether it’s hormonal, nutritional, or autoimmune—thinning is likely to continue or worsen.
As a physician, I view hair loss as a medical condition that requires a personalized treatment plan. What works for one patient may not be effective—or even safe—for another.
The Value of a Personalized Hair Restoration Plan
A tailored plan allows me to:
Diagnose the true cause through medical history, lab work, and scalp evaluation.
Target treatments—from prescription medications, PRP hair restoration, and medical-grade topicals to in-office therapies like laser hair therapy.
Support overall health with nutrition, stress management, and scalp care guidance.
Track progress with clinical photography and density counts, so patients see measurable improvement.
Final Word
If you are experiencing hair thinning, receding hairline, or scalp issues, don’t ignore it or assume it’s “just aging.” By uncovering the why and creating a personalized medical hair loss treatment plan, we can restore not just your hair—but also your confidence and overall scalp health.
