Frequently asked questions

What causes hair loss?

Hair loss can result from a variety of factors. Understanding the root cause is essential to determining the most effective treatment. Here are some common causes:

1. Genetics (Male and Female Pattern Baldness)

  • Cause: A hereditary condition that results in gradual hair thinning, often starting at the crown or temples in men, and thinning throughout the scalp in women.
  • Treatment Options:
    • PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Stimulates hair follicles and promotes regrowth.
    • Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): Strengthens hair follicles and improves scalp health.
    • Hair Transplant Surgery: A permanent solution for restoring a natural hairline.
    • Folix Laser Therapy: Stimulates hair follicles to promote regrowth and improve scalp health.

2. Hormonal Changes

  • Cause: Hormonal imbalances, such as during pregnancy, menopause, thyroid issues, or PCOS, can trigger thinning or shedding.
  • Treatment Options:
    • Hormonal Therapy: Balancing hormones to restore hair growth.
    • Exosome Therapy: Improves scalp health and promotes follicle regeneration.
    • PRP Therapy: Enhances follicle activity, stimulating regrowth.
    • Nutritional Support: Supplementing vitamins and minerals to help balance hormones and improve hair health.

3. Medical Conditions

  • Cause: Hair loss can be caused by alopecia areata, scalp infections, autoimmune diseases, or chronic illnesses like lupus or diabetes.
  • Treatment Options:
    • Regenerative Therapies (PRP, Exosome Therapy): Stimulate healing and regrowth.
    • Topical Medications: Prescription treatments may help manage specific medical conditions that cause hair loss.
    • Scalp Treatments: Medical-grade solutions to soothe the scalp and stimulate healthier growth.

4. Stress

  • Cause: Physical or emotional stress can cause telogen effluvium, a temporary shedding phase in which hair follicles enter the shedding cycle prematurely.
  • Treatment Options:
    • Stress Management: Techniques such as therapy, meditation, yoga, and exercise can reduce stress levels.
    • Nutritional Support: Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals to aid in hair recovery.
    • Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): Stimulates follicles and improves blood flow to the scalp.
    • Intensive Hair Therapies: Provide targeted support for regrowth during periods of stress.

5. Poor Nutrition

  • Cause: Insufficient intake of essential nutrients like iron, zinc, biotin, protein, and vitamins can weaken hair follicles and lead to thinning or shedding.
  • Treatment Options:
    • Nutritional Supplements: A tailored supplement plan to restore optimal hair health.
    • Dietary Changes: Focus on a diet rich in nutrients essential for hair health.
    • Scalp Micropigmentation: Provides cosmetic enhancement to thinning areas while nourishing the scalp.
    • Exosome Therapy: Regenerates hair follicles by boosting circulation and nutrient flow to the scalp.

6. Lifestyle Factors

  • Cause: Lifestyle choices such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, lack of sleep, and poor diet can impact hair health. Environmental factors like pollution and over-styling can also contribute to hair loss.
  • Treatment Options:
    • Scalp Treatments: Hydrating and nourishing the scalp to maintain healthy hair growth.
    • Hair Restoration Programs: Combining lifestyle and medical treatments to optimize hair health.
    • Nutritional Guidance: Adjust your diet and add lifestyle changes that promote healthy hair growth.
    • Exosome Therapy: Enhances cellular health by improving circulation and stimulating regrowth.
    • Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): Strengthens hair follicles and improves scalp health, supporting healthy hair regrowth.

How long will it take to see results?

The timeline for seeing results depends on the type of treatment and individual factors such as the cause of hair loss, age, and overall health.

  • Hair Transplants: You may start noticing new hair growth within 3 to 4 months, with full results typically visible between 6 to 12 months after the procedure as the transplanted follicles grow, thicken, and mature.
  • PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Many patients begin to see improvement in hair thickness and reduced shedding after 3–4 sessions, about 4–6 weeks apart. Optimal results are usually seen after 4–6 months.
  • Exosome Therapy & Laser Treatments: These can stimulate new growth and improve scalp health within a few weeks, but more significant changes typically appear within 3–6 months.

Because hair grows in cycles, consistency and patience are key. Your provider will guide you through a personalized treatment plan and realistic expectations for your progress.

Does insurance cover hair restoration treatments?

Currently, we do not accept insurance for hair restoration treatments, as most procedures are considered elective or cosmetic by insurance providers.

However, coverage may vary depending on your policy and the reason for hair loss. We recommend contacting your insurance company directly to determine if any benefits apply.

To help make treatment more affordable, we offer flexible financing options through Cherry Payment Plans. 

Can women undergo hair restoration treatments?

Absolutely! Our hair restoration services are specifically designed to support both men and women experiencing hair loss, thinning, or scalp issues.

We understand that the causes and patterns of hair loss in women can differ from those in men. That’s why we provide:

  • Customized treatment plans tailored to female hair loss patterns
  • Hormonal evaluations and holistic assessments
  • Non-surgical and regenerative options that promote natural growth
  • Compassionate care focused on restoring confidence and hair health

Whether due to genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, or stress, women deserve effective solutions, and we’re here to help.
