Hair Loss: Causes, Treatments, and When to Seek Help

Hair loss can take a toll on confidence, affecting both men and women at different stages of life. Whether it is gradual thinning, sudden shedding, or patchy bald spots, understanding the cause is the first step toward finding the right treatment. At Biltmore Dermatology, our board-certified dermatology providers specialize in diagnosing hair loss and creating personalized treatment plans.

What Causes Hair Loss?

Hair loss can be temporary or permanent, depending on the cause. Some of the most common factors include:

• Genetics (male and female pattern baldness)
• Hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause, thyroid disorders)
• Medical conditions (alopecia areata, scalp infections)
• Medications (chemotherapy, certain prescriptions)
• Stress (emotional or physical)
• Nutritional deficiencies (low iron, zinc, or biotin)

If you have noticed excessive shedding, thinning patches, or changes in hair texture, it may be time to consult a professional.

Hair Loss Treatment Options

While not all hair loss can be reversed, early intervention can slow its progression and improve hair health. Treatments may include:

• Prescription medications to stimulate hair growth
• Steroid injections for autoimmune-related hair loss (alopecia areata)
• Topical treatments like minoxidil (Rogaine)
• Oral medications to block hormones linked to hair loss
• Lifestyle changes to manage stress and improve nutrition
• PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy, a promising treatment that uses your blood to stimulate hair follicles and promote growth
• Nutrafo™, a supplement designed to support hair growth and overall hair health

When to See a Professional

If you are experiencing any of the following, schedule a consultation:

• Sudden or excessive hair loss
• Bald patches or noticeable thinning
• Scalp irritation, pain, or redness
• No improvement after trying over-the-counter products

Hair loss treatments work best when started early. Our team at Biltmore Dermatology can help you identify the cause and explore treatments that fit your needs.
