Hair loss affects millions of people every year and can be one of the most emotionally challenging concerns to deal with. Whether it’s thinning around the crown, sudden shedding, or persistent bald patches, this condition can severely impact your appearance and confidence. At Dr Alexa Aesthetics, we take a holistic, scientific approach to treating hair loss – focusing on both causes and long-term solutions using the latest innovations in regenerative and aesthetic medicine.
In this article, we’ll explore what causes hair loss, the different types that exist, and how we can help restore your hair with a selection of state-of-the-art treatments including polynucleotides, microneedling with exosomes, PRP therapy, targeted medications, and red light therapy, which we offer as a complimentary add-on with every treatment.
Common Causes of Hair Loss
There are many reasons people experience hair loss, and pinpointing the cause is essential for effective management. Some of the most frequent causes include:
-
Genetic predisposition: Often referred to as male or female pattern baldness, this is the most common cause of permanent hair loss.
-
Hormonal imbalances: Changes related to pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid function can disrupt the hair growth cycle.
-
Nutritional deficiencies: Low levels of key nutrients like biotin, vitamin D, iron, or zinc can weaken hair and slow regrowth.
-
Stress or trauma: Major emotional stress or physical shock (like surgery or illness) can push follicles into a resting phase.
-
Medical conditions: Autoimmune diseases such as alopecia areata or chronic scalp infections may also be responsible.
-
Tight hairstyles or treatments: Repeated pulling or chemical use can lead to traction alopecia or damage follicles irreversibly.
Each of these causes may lead to a different pattern of hair loss, which is why a personalised approach is key.
Different Types of Hair Loss
Before starting treatment, it’s important to understand which type of hair loss you’re experiencing. The most common types include:
-
Androgenetic Alopecia – A hereditary form of hair thinning seen most often along the temples or crown in men, and along the parting in women.
-
Telogen Effluvium – A temporary form of diffuse shedding caused by stress, illness, or major hormonal shifts.
-
Alopecia Areata – Characterised by sudden, patchy bald areas due to an autoimmune attack on the follicles.
-
Traction Alopecia – Results from constant pulling due to certain hairstyles like tight ponytails or braids.
-
Cicatricial (Scarring) Alopecia – Caused by inflammation or injury that destroys follicles, making regrowth impossible without intervention.
At Dr Alexa Aesthetics, we conduct a thorough consultation and scalp analysis to determine the exact type and cause before creating your custom treatment plan.
Cutting-Edge Hair Loss Treatments at Dr Alexa Aesthetics
Our clinic specialises in the most innovative treatments for hair loss, offering a bespoke combination of regenerative medicine and advanced aesthetic techniques. Each treatment is performed by qualified medical professionals in a clinical, comfortable setting.
✧ PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP therapy is a popular, natural method to promote hair regrowth. We extract a small amount of your blood, isolate the growth-factor-rich plasma, and inject it directly into the scalp. These growth factors stimulate stem cells, improve blood flow, and enhance follicle function, encouraging new, healthier hair to grow over time.
✧ Microneedling with Exosomes
Microneedling uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the scalp, which promotes natural healing. When combined with exosomes, which are small vesicles rich in regenerative molecules, the results are even more powerful. Exosomes help repair damaged follicles and signal your body to initiate new hair growth, making this one of the most advanced solutions for thinning or damaged hair.
✧ Polynucleotides
A breakthrough in scalp rejuvenation, polynucleotides are derived from purified DNA fragments that enhance tissue repair, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation. When injected into the scalp, they create a healthier environment for hair follicles, making it easier for them to grow thicker and stronger strands.
✧ Topical and Oral Medications
In some cases, we may recommend combining injectable treatments with pharmaceutical support. This may include topical minoxidil to increase follicle size and density, or oral medications like finasteride for hormone-related hair loss. Nutritional supplements can also play a supporting role when deficiencies are identified.
✧ Complimentary Red Light Therapy with Every Treatment
To maximise results, we include red light therapy free of charge with all hair loss treatments at Dr Alexa Aesthetics. This non-invasive therapy uses low-level light wavelengths to stimulate follicles, enhance blood circulation, and improve cellular energy. Red light therapy has been shown to extend the growth phase of the hair cycle, making it a perfect companion to any of the treatments we provide.
