Hair Loss Treatment
A thick, full head of hair brings confidence, so it’s no wonder that anyone experiencing hair loss can feel dismal at times. Fortunately, there are a number of hair loss remedies available from Dr. Hayes Gladstone of Gladstone Clinic, who proudly serves patients in San Ramon, San Francisco, Pleasanton and the surrounding communities in California.
What Is Hair Loss?
Shedding hair is a natural part of the growth cycle, with the average person losing between 50 and 100 hairs per day. When people lose more than that amount, resulting in thin patches or bald spots, they are said to be suffering from hair loss. Hair loss is commonly thought of as something that affects only middle-aged or older men, but the fact is that women, young adults, and even teens are often plagued by it as well. Many hair loss patients in Northern California will eventually seek treatment from Dr. Hayes Gladstone.
Here at Gladstone Clinic, we address the following types of hair loss:
What Causes Hair Loss?
A number of things are thought to cause hair loss, including:
- Heredity. Nearly 80 percent of all hair loss patients suffer from androgenic alopecia, a hereditary condition that affects some 80 million people.
- An autoimmune disease, such as alopecia areata, which causes the body to attack its own hair follicles.
- An underlying health condition, such as thyroid disease.
- Cancer treatment.
- Hormonal changes.
- Vitamin or mineral deficiencies.
- Side effects of certain medications.
Benefits of Hair Loss Treatment
The good news is that many cases of hair loss can be stopped in their tracks, or may even be reversible. The sooner you seek treatment, the greater the odds are that you can control your hair loss and achieve the full set of locks you once enjoyed.
Who Is the Ideal Candidate for Hair Loss Treatment?
Nearly anyone can achieve desirable results from hair loss treatment. However, future hair loss may still occur if the condition is caused by an underlying health condition, cancer treatment, or medication use. Even in these cases, the right treatment can sometimes help minimize hair loss.
What to Expect After Hair Loss Treatment
Each person responds differently to hair loss treatment. Your results will be based on the reason for your hair loss and the type of treatment you receive.
When Will I See the Results?
It takes time for new hair to grow, so the odds of you seeing results right away is rather slim. Most hair loss patients report seeing thicker, fuller hair within a matter of weeks.
