Why am i loosing hair?

Hair loss (alopecia) can be caused by a range of factors, most commonly:

• Genetics (androgenetic alopecia or “male/female pattern baldness”)
• Hormonal changes (including postpartum and menopause)
• Medical conditions such as thyroid disease, autoimmune disorders, or nutritional deficiencies
• Stress or medications

Early diagnosis is critical. If you notice rapid shedding, patchy hair loss, or changes in your scalp or general health, begin with a medical evaluation to identify correctable causes. Learn more about Dr. Sobo’s commitment to careful, personalized assessments.

The latest evidence-based hair restoration options

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for Hair Restoration

PRP therapy uses your own concentrated platelets, delivered directly to scalp follicles to stimulate growth. High-quality studies show:

• PRP improves hair density and thickness for male and female pattern hair loss, especially in early stages (NIH Review)
• Results are visible after 3–6 monthly sessions, with maintenance as needed
• Minimal downtime with very low risk: some notice mild scalp soreness or redness for a day or two

Advanced topical and prescription therapies

Proven medical treatments for hair loss include:

• Topical minoxidil: FDA-approved, suitable for both men and women
• Oral medications: Finasteride and other options appropriate for men with genetic hair loss
• Adjunct therapies: Address underlying conditions (thyroid, anemia, nutrition), hormone balance

Evidence-based protocols maximize results and reduce side effects. All prescription therapies are offered with ongoing monitoring for safety and effectiveness (Mayo Clinic: Hair loss – Diagnosis and treatment).

regenerative & biologic solutions

Emerging research supports the use of regenerative or biologic therapies for certain forms of hair thinning:

• Microneedling: Creates controlled micro-injuries to the scalp, prompting a healing cascade and growth signaling. Often combined with PRP or growth-factor serums for enhanced effect (NIH).
• Nutraceuticals and targeted supplementation: Support scalp and follicle health (when dietary or micronutrient deficit is present)

For those considering hair transplant or surgical remedies, a candidacy evaluation including nonsurgical pathways is always provided first.

Integrated, personalized hair regrowth plans

At Dr. Sobo’s office, every patient receives:

• In-depth assessment: Scalp examination, detailed history, relevant laboratory testing as needed
• Customized treatment plan: Combinations of PRP, medical therapy, microneedling, and/or lifestyle optimization
• Progress monitoring: Digital imaging, measurements, and timeline adjustments based on your healing response

Results are natural focusing on density, coverage, and hair quality, not just quantity.
