Seeing more hair in your brush, shower drain, or on your pillow can be upsetting. Hair loss often seems to happen gradually at first, then suddenly becomes impossible to ignore. While shedding some hair every day is normal, noticeable thinning, widening of the part, or bald spots can signal an underlying issue that warrants attention.
At Arlani Integrative Medicine in Salt Lake City, UT, Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner Rachelle Russell brings more than 20 years of healthcare experience to helping women address hair loss. Together with her experienced team, she provides advanced treatments designed to support healthier, fuller-looking hair.
Understanding the Most Common Causes of Hair Loss
If you’ve been noticing more shedding or thinning lately, one of these common factors could be contributing to the problem:
- Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, childbirth, perimenopause, menopause, PCOS, and thyroid disorders can all contribute to hair thinning and shedding in women.
- Genetics: One of the most common reasons for hair loss is hereditary hair thinning, also known as female pattern hair loss. This type of hair loss often develops gradually over time.
- Stress and Lifestyle Factors: Stress, illness, surgery, poor sleep, rapid weight loss, and nutrient deficiencies can trigger increased shedding.
- Nutritional Deficiencies: Low levels of nutrients such as iron, protein, vitamin D, and certain B vitamins can contribute to thinning hair and slower regrowth.
- Medical Conditions and Medications: Autoimmune disorders, thyroid disease, scalp conditions, and some prescription medications may interfere with normal hair growth.
Hair Loss Treatment Options at Arlani Integrative Medicine
At Arlani Integrative Medicine, we offer advanced treatments to help support healthier, fuller-looking hair.
- TED Hair Restoration: TED (TransEpidermal Delivery) is a noninvasive treatment that uses sound waves and air pressure to deliver growth factors, peptides, and nutrients deep into the scalp. It can help improve hair density and thickness without needles or downtime.
- PRP for Hair Growth: PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to stimulate hair follicles and support natural regrowth. PRP is often most effective for early-stage hair loss and can be combined with TED for enhanced results.
