Hair Loss: Causes, Treatments & How to Restore Thicker, Healthier Hair

Hair loss is a common concern affecting both men and women, leading to thinning hair, receding hairlines, and reduced hair density. While some hair shedding is normal, persistent or excessive hair loss can indicate underlying issues that need targeted treatment.

At VIDASKIN, we offer advanced medical treatments to address hair loss by stimulating hair follicles, improving scalp health, and restoring natural hair growth.

Why Does Hair Loss Happen?

Hair loss occurs when hair follicles shrink, weaken, or become dormant, preventing new hair from growing. Common causes include:

✔ Hormonal Changes – Androgenetic hair loss (male/female pattern baldness) due to hormonal sensitivity.
✔ Nutritional Deficiencies – Lack of iron, biotin, vitamin D, or protein can affect hair growth.
✔ Stress & Lifestyle Factors – Chronic stress can trigger excessive hair shedding.
✔ Medical Conditions – Thyroid disorders, PCOS, and autoimmune diseases can contribute to hair loss.
✔ Scalp Health Issues – Inflammation, dandruff, or excess sebum can weaken hair follicles.
✔ Aging & Genetics – Hair naturally thins over time, especially with a family history of hair loss.

Since hair loss is multifactorial, effective treatment should target the root cause and restore hair follicle function.

The Hair Growth Cycle: How Healthy Hair Grows

Each hair follicle on the scalp goes through a continuous cycle of growth, rest, and renewal. This cycle consists of four key phases:

🔹 1. Anagen Phase (Growth Phase) – Lasts 2-7 Years

✔ The active growth phase where hair follicles produce new hair.
✔ Around 85-90% of hairs are in this phase at any given time.
✔ The longer the anagen phase, the longer and thicker the hair grows.

🔹 2. Catagen Phase (Transition Phase) – Lasts 2-3 Weeks

✔ A short transitional phase where hair stops growing.
✔ The hair follicle shrinks and detaches from the blood supply.

🔹 3. Telogen Phase (Resting Phase) – Lasts 2-4 Months

✔ Hair rests in the follicle before shedding.
✔ Around 10-15% of hairs are in this phase at any time.
✔ No new hair is growing in this phase.

🔹 4. Exogen Phase (Shedding Phase) – Part of the Telogen Phase

✔ Old hair falls out naturally, making room for new hair to grow.
✔ Losing 50-100 hairs per day is normal.

After the exogen phase, the follicle re-enters the anagen phase, beginning a new growth cycle.

How Hair Loss Disrupts the Hair Growth Cycle

When hair loss occurs, this natural cycle is altered, leading to increased shedding, weaker regrowth, and thinner hair strands.

🔸 Common Hair Loss Patterns & Their Impact on the Hair Cycle:

✔ Androgenetic Hair Loss (Male/Female Pattern Baldness) – The anagen (growth) phase shortens, while the telogen (resting) phase lengthens, causing progressive thinning and miniaturization of hair.
✔ Telogen Effluvium (Stress-Related Hair Loss) – A higher percentage of hairs enter the telogen phase too early, leading to excessive shedding within a few months.
✔ Alopecia Areata (Autoimmune Hair Loss) – The immune system attacks hair follicles, forcing them into the resting phase prematurely, stopping hair growth entirely.
✔ Hormonal Hair Loss – Hormonal imbalances shorten the anagen phase, causing hair to fall out faster than it can regrow.

Since each type of hair loss affects the cycle differently, an effective treatment plan must restore balance to the hair cycle and reactivate dormant follicles.

Best Hair Loss Treatments at VIDASKIN

We take a comprehensive approach to hair restoration, combining advanced medical therapies and regenerative treatments to promote natural hair regrowth. At VIDASKIN, we use scientifically proven treatments that extend the anagen phase, reduce shedding, and reactivate hair follicles for healthier, thicker hair.

🔹 1. Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) – Stimulating Hair Follicles

✔ Uses low-energy laser light to increase blood flow to the scalp.
✔ Stimulates dormant hair follicles to restart the growth cycle.
✔ Strengthens existing hair strands, reducing hair thinning.

📌 Best for: Androgenetic hair loss, weak hair follicles, and post-hair transplant recovery.

🔹 2. Hair Restart Laser – Boosting Scalp Circulation & Hair Growth

✔ A specialized laser therapy that activates hair follicles and stimulates new hair growth.
✔ Increases oxygen and nutrient delivery to the scalp, creating an ideal environment for healthy hair.
✔ Non-invasive with no downtime, making it suitable for all hair types.

📌 Best for: Early-stage hair thinning and improving hair density.

🔹 3. Exosome Hair Treatment – Regenerative Scalp Therapy

✔ Exosomes are cell-derived particles rich in growth factors that promote hair follicle repair and regeneration.
✔ Enhances scalp microcirculation, improving follicle activity.
✔ Strengthens existing hair while promoting new hair growth.

📌 Best for: Weak, thinning hair and overall scalp rejuvenation.

🔹 4. Microneedling for Scalp – Strengthening Hair Roots

✔ Uses tiny microchannels to deliver regenerative serums and boost collagen production.
✔ Enhances absorption of growth factors and polynucleotide treatments for scalp health.
✔ Stimulates new hair growth while reducing hair thinning.

📌 Best for: Thinning hair, scalp inflammation, and promoting new hair regrowth.

🔹 5. Stem Cell Therapy – Advanced Hair Follicle Regeneration

✔ Uses stem cell-derived growth factors to rejuvenate damaged or dormant hair follicles.
✔ Encourages natural hair regrowth by stimulating the scalp at a cellular level.
✔ Improves hair texture, density, and overall hair quality.

📌 Best for: Severe hair thinning, scalp rejuvenation, and long-term hair health.

🔹 6. Medical Therapies – Oral & Topical Treatments for Hair Loss

✔ Oral supplements and medical therapies can help slow down hair loss and promote regrowth.
✔ Topical applications improve scalp circulation and support hair follicle function.
✔ Used as a maintenance treatment to prevent further thinning.

📌 Best for: Ongoing hair loss management and maintaining long-term results.

Combination Treatments: Why One Solution Is Not Enough

Hair loss treatments work best when combined for maximum effectiveness.

Using a personalized treatment approach, we can reactivate dormant hair follicles, strengthen existing hair, and improve overall scalp health.

How Long Does It Take to See Results?

✔ Early Hair Loss: 3-6 months of consistent treatment for visible thickening.
✔ Moderate Hair Loss: 4-8 months, with ongoing improvements over time.
✔ Severe Hair Loss: 6-12 months, especially if combined with regenerative therapies.

Since hair grows in cycles, results continue to improve over time as new hair follicles strengthen.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can hair loss be completely reversed?

✔ Early-stage hair loss can be significantly improved with regenerative treatments and medical therapies.
✔ Advanced hair loss may require a combination of treatments, including regenerative and maintenance therapies.

2. Are hair loss treatments painful?

✔ Most treatments, such as LLLT, Hair Restart Laser, and exosome therapy, are non-invasive and painless.
✔ Microneedling may cause mild discomfort but this is usually well tolerated.

3. Can I combine hair loss treatments with supplements?

✔ Yes! Nutritional support, including biotin, vitamin D, and iron, can enhance hair growth.

4. How do I prevent hair loss from getting worse?

✔ Early intervention is key! Start treatment as soon as you notice thinning or excessive shedding.
