Understanding Hair Loss: Causes and Solutions

Hair loss treatment is one of the most sought-after and popular therapies out there. That should come as no surprise, given that such a significant proportion of Australian men and women will experience some form of hair loss during their lifetimes.

There is a huge diversity of hair loss causes, each requiring a different kind of approach. Read on to discover more about some of the most effective hair loss solutions available to help you decide what might be best for you.

Common Causes of Hair Loss

Our genetic makeup can make us more predisposed to hair loss. In fact, the genes we inherit cause most hair loss worldwide. In women, the first signs of hereditary hair loss tend to be overall thinning or a wider parting. In men, you’ll typically see a receding hairline or bald patch at the top of the head.
Hormonal imbalances can also contribute to hair loss, especially in pregnant women or those experiencing the menopause.
A whole raft of other conditions can also lead to hair loss, from stress or aging to thyroid disorders and from auto-immune diseases to scalp infections. Some people may experience sudden hair loss, whilst others may lose hair gradually.

Effective Hair Loss Treatment Options

At our Body Dezign House clinics, we focus on three of the most effective hair loss treatments available. These are:

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy)

PRP involves using a small amount of your own blood from which we quickly extract its rich growth factors. We then create an injectable gel using these growth factors to stimulate the follicles for thicker, healthier hair with no risk of an allergic reaction.

Micro Needling

Tiny needles in a special mechanical pen rapidly puncture the skin, encouraging collagen, elastin, and growth factor production. This improves blood circulation to the scalp, which promotes hair regrowth. Microneedling can be even more effective when combined with other treatments, such as PRP.

Heallite II Therapy

This is a non-invasive LED light therapy that targets hair follicles, boosts cellular metabolism and promotes hair restoration. The treatment is pain-free and delivers energy deep into your tissue, influencing the body at a cellular level.

The Body Dezign House Approach to Hair Loss Treatment

Our clients all undergo a comprehensive initial assessment. This will allow us to examine your medical and family history to get the full picture of why and for how long you have been experiencing hair loss issues.
You may have a genetic predisposition to hair loss, a scalp condition, or very specific hair loss patterns. Sometimes, there may be several hair loss causes all happening simultaneously.

Personalised Treatment Plans

Whether you visit our Newstead Cosmetic Clinic or Cleveland Cosmetic Clinic, we will create a treatment plan tailored to your expectations and goals. We will consider a range of factors, including your gender, age, and the severity of your hair loss. This all helps us develop unique personalised hair loss solutions.

Often, a combination of PRP, microneedling, and Heallite II therapy may prove the most effective approach. Your hair loss treatment plan will focus on achieving the best results in the shortest time possible.

Your Choice of Body Dezign House Clinics

We know that, for some people, hair loss can lead to a range of mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety and social phobia. The range of hair loss solutions available at our clinics can boost feelings of self-confidence and self-worth.
