As we age, we become more susceptible to hair loss, usually due to tremendous hormonal changes that set in after age 45. While this is very common and a natural byproduct of age, you don’t have to just sit back and accept it. Our aging-related hair loss treatments can help you embrace your older years in style. Book a consultation today!
We have many clinically proven treatments for aging related hair loss available at several convenient locations. The most effective options for aging related hair loss include:
PRP stimulates follicle activity by injecting platelets, stem cells, and growth factors taken from your own blood into affected areas of your scalp.
We have the ability to better deliver the optimal concentration of PRP solutions in a completely painless fashion -- without needles.
Low level laser therapy has been shown to prolong the growth phase of the hair and increase blood flow to the hair follicles.
Minoxidil, also known as "Rogaine for women", is one of the earliest hair loss medications and the active ingredient of Rogaine®. We offer both topical and oral versions.
We recommend a combination of Tresse Prebiotic, Tresse Revitalizer, and Tresse Fortifier to best treat aging-related hair loss.
Ages 30 to 45. Androgenic alopecia, also known as Female Pattern Hair Loss, is a genetic form of hair loss and is the most common form of hair loss. It affects 40 percent of women in their lifetime. It usually starts in your early thirties but can take many years before you really notice. Over time, the hairs begin to thin in a process called miniaturization and can eventually disappear. Early treatment is key in preventing further loss.
Ages 45 to 55. After age 45, women start to enter the premenopausal years, which is when hormonal changes can be the most drastic, usually caused by the ratio of estrogen (estradiol) to testosterone. Testosterone is one of the biggest drivers of androgenic alopecia, but when the hormones are in balance and the estrogen and progesterone levels are normal, the testosterone does not have the same effect. Right before and during menopause, the levels of testosterone and estrogen decrease, but not at the same rate. Your estrogen levels drop 75-80%, while testosterone only drops around 20-25%, which means the ratio of testosterone to estrogen increases; this can accelerate androgenic alopecia.
Age 55+. As women approach 60, their hair is not only gray, but thinner with less density overall. Be careful with your hair at this stage, as any damage caused cannot be repaired as efficiently. This is because older bodies are not able to rejuvenate in quite the same way they did before.
Diet plays a big part. First, you must start eating enough overall, not becoming nutritionally deficient. Include a variety of foods in your diet, as well. Because hair follicles are composed mostly of protein, it is important not to skimp on this important nutrient. A lack of protein is linked to hair loss so try to eat low-fat meat at least once or twice a week. In general, consume nutrient-rich foods such as spinach, eggs, salmon (for the Omega-3s), berries, and avocados. These all contain plenty of nutrients that healthy hair needs, such as iron, folate, and vitamins A and C.
Studies suggest that more than half of women over age 50 experience thinning hair.
Hair loss is a symptom. We begin every journey by finding the cause, so your treatment plan isn’t just hopeful—it’s strategic, personalized, and proven to work.
