Many people think hair thinning is a normal part of getting older and that nothing can be done about it. The truth is that hair loss often has specific causes, and there are safe, effective ways to address it without relying on guesswork or gimmicks.
Knowing what’s behind the changes in your hair is the first step toward finding a real solution.
At Skin Deep Laser MD in Fort Worth, Dr. Laura S. Riehm combines her extensive medical training with a deeply personal understanding of aesthetic concerns to provide advanced, physician-supervised hair restoration treatments you can trust.
What Causes Hair Thinning?
Various factors can influence hair thinning, including:
- Genetics: Hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) is the most common cause. It can affect both men and women.
- Hormone imbalances: Pregnancy, menopause, thyroid imbalances, or conditions like PCOS can disrupt normal hair growth cycles.
- Stress and illness: Physical or emotional stress, surgery, or sickness can trigger a temporary condition called telogen effluvium.
- Nutritional deficiencies: Low levels of iron, protein, or vitamins like B12 and D can impact hair health.
- Hairstyling habits: Tight hairstyles, harsh chemicals, and heat styling tools can weaken and damage strands over time.
When Should You Seek Treatment?
It’s time to consider professional help if:
- You see noticeable thinning at your crown or part.
- You’re losing more than 100 hairs per day consistently.
- Your scalp is becoming visible through your hair.
- Home remedies and over-the-counter products aren’t working.
Ignoring these signs can allow the issue to worsen, especially if scarring or permanent follicle damage begins to occur.
