Dr. Pamela Kulback is very passionate about helping women and men restore their confidence with nonsurgical hair restoration at K2 Medicine and Med-Spa in Trussville, AL. Hair loss can be a problem for both men and women and start at any age. Over 50% of men and women over 40 suffer from various types of hair loss. Causes of hair loss in men and women can be genetic or caused by stress, trauma, and hormone imbalances.
Genetic Hair Loss in men is called male pattern baldness. Genetic hair loss can start as early as the ’20s and is common in men, but can also occur in women. Genetic female pattern baldness is not as common in women as hair loss caused by hormone imbalances, thyroid disease, or stress. Hair loss can present as thinning of hair which may be localized or diffuse.
Regenerative Medicine Techniques can be applied to prevent and treat certain types of hair loss. If the cause of your hair loss in men and women and decreased hair density is hereditary, such as with androgenic alopecia, the treatment goal is to stimulate weak or dormant (inactive hair follicles) to go back to the active growth phase. Using PRP and PRFM Therapy to stimulate dormant or sluggish stem cells around the hair follicles can help reverse the miniaturization of hair follicles and improve overall hair growth.
