Thinning Hair

Experiencing Thinning Hair?

You are not alone. You are one of 80 million Americans with a hair loss challenge. Due to the complexity of hair loss and the confidential and taboo nature of the subject, options and treatments can be difficult.

How do you sort through the numerous ads on the internet? What is DHT? Do topicals really work? Do the side effects outweigh the benefits? What is a JAK Inhibitor?

Why are you losing your hair?

Male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hair loss for men. It is characterized by thinning, receding hair beginning at the temples and the weakening of coverage at the crown. Over time, the hair at the temples continues to recede, leaving a central patch of hair at the front of the hairline and a growing bald spot at the crown.

Depending on the rate of progression of the hair loss, all that remains is a horseshoe ring of hair around the side and back of the head. Male pattern hair loss is a concern for many men because as the hairline recedes, the face takes on a more aged appearance, yes this means you are looking older before your time!

Male pattern hair loss is considered chronic and progressive. It is well documented that men who are prone to male pattern hair loss will continue to lose more hair over time if the condition is not treated.

What Are Your Options?

DHT Blockers

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a breakdown product of the male hormone testosterone, is the catalyst that causes the progressive miniaturization of hair follicles. If you are genetically susceptible to male pattern hair loss, DHT works to progressively reduce follicles, which causes the hair to grow shorter, thinner, and less pigmented, until the follicle finally dies.

 

Certain topicals and supplements work to prevent and reverse the shrinking of hair follicles by blocking the conversion of Testosterone into DHT. One of these has FDA approval and is considered the conventional choice of therapy because it is safe and effective for the treatment of male pattern hair loss. Detailed scientific investigation reveals if a man takes this supplement for five years, he has a 90% chance of looking the same or better than he did when he started the medication. The same studies showed that 75% of men with untreated male pattern hair loss looked “much worse” at the end of the same five years.

JAK Inhibitors

Janus Kinase (JAK) Inhibitors have been successfully used for rheumatoid arthritis. During the trial periods, it was discovered that they could possibly treat other inflammatory conditions such as Alopecia Areata. Both JAK inhibitor ingredients were found effective in significant hair regrowth. It seems that the JAK Inhibitors stimulated an enzyme in the dormant hair follicle causing hair growth.

Best Practices
Treatment of male pattern hair loss should always start with protecting the viable hair follicles. A combination therapy regimen is the best way to tackle this issue. The regimen may include supplements, medical-grade low light laser therapy, hair restoration treatments, microneedling the scalp or other regenerative topical treatments, nutritional supplementation, proper scalp hygiene, or hair transplantation.

DO NOT TACKLE THIS PROBLEM ALONE

Hair loss and thinning hair is a complicated subject most are not comfortable discussing in an open forum with even our closest friends. Getting to the root cause of your hair loss sooner than later is the best advice for anyone noticing hair loss or slowing hair growth. Consult a hair loss specialist and take a deep dive into your heredity and health to stop your current hair loss and to identify options and solutions for you.

Losing Hair is a Sensitive Issue!

Losing hair is a sensitive issue. I found an amazing group of caring and well-informed women at HPI Hair in Belle Meade. The result: an amazing turnaround in six months. I had lost 25 percent of my hair last year due to stress, aging and lack of certain nutrients. I have gained much of it back. Highly recommend: laser cap with scalp oil and testing ordering by HPI, performed by Quest. Also, they told me most men and women with hair loss have deficiencies in 3 things: B-12; Vitamin D and zinc. I had all three plus low iron and the MF gene, which means my body doesn't absorb B-12 or the rest of the B-complex vitamins through food. I know take sublingual drops (under the tongue). I also add amino acids to my veggie-infused smoothies. Not only did they help me stop the severe shedding and regain hair quickly, they likely prevented serious health problems by arming me with a much fuller snapshot of my health than any doctor has done. (If you can afford it, you also might want the extras I did to include scalp microblading to encourage growth and I got eyebrow microblading for self-confidence. Very thankful for the angels at HPI Hair!

Kimberly is absolutely wonderful! She is so incredibly kind, knowledgeable and trustworthy! She helped us get to the bottom of our 3 year olds hair loss and we are so thankful for her and her team!

My experience at HPI has been nothing short of wonderful! Not only have I seen great physical results from the various treatments, but I have been encouraged & supported by the entire HPI staff since Day 1! So thankful my family & I found this space!

I am only 20 years old but have been struggling with hair loss for the past few years. I came to HPI about 6 months ago and they have helped my feel more confident that my hair will grow back. It is a commitment and takes a lot of time for you to see results but the workers here give me hope. Kimberly is very encouraging and has helped me not feel as alone in this process. It is hard for anyone to look around and feel like no one else is struggling with hair loss, but especially when you are this young. I would be lying if I said I was not very insecure knowing that ther people can see my bald spots, but knowing there is hope that I can have hair that covers my head encourages me to follow the eating, schedules, and time that HPI plans out for me.

Excellent! I am suffering hair loss and would not have a hair left on my head if I hadn't found HPI. Kimberly was able to stop my hair from falling out in less than 30 days and now I am in recovery mode - my hair is filling in and growing back. I am so thankful for HPIHair!

I have been so grateful to HPI and their efficient and patient staff. I live about two hours away and they do a wonderful job of working with me through mail, phone and email to make sure that all my needs are met with kindness and sensitivity. I don’t know what I would have done without HPI!

I've had a great results with the microneedling treatments and hair products at HPI. My hair is thicker and have new growth which makes it easier to style and looks much better (even if gets wet or is windy). Should have started it sooner but it's never too late to improve the health, look, and feel of your hair. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and flexible and will help you customize treatments that suit your schedule and budget. I consulted with 2 other hair restoration businesses in the area and found HPI to offer the most options and professional services while making the experience pleasant and comfortable.

HPI is such a special place and I only have wonderful things to say about them. I have struggled with trichotillomania most of my life, and as a result, I would have bald spots throughout my hair. I have always been self-conscious about my hair and never wanted to go to a salon because I was so embarrassed of the condition of my hair . HPI was the first and only place I have found that I feel comfortable going to and I always walk out feeling confident. I am forever grateful for HPI and I am happy to report my hair is growing and looking great!
All staff is very professional and they provide great customer service! They are very knowledgeable and explain in detail the different services and help you in deciding which treatment would be best for your needs. The receptionist is very kind in helping you purchase products or schedule your appointments. They truly care about their clients!
I tried (like I suppose most others) everything to regrow my hair. I tried over-the-counter solutions, went to a dermatologist, then a plastic surgeon learning about hair transplants. I'm so glad I also talked to HPI Hair. I was amazed at the before and after photos and the ‘no pressure’ and no hurry to decide that day way of doing business. Now a few months later I am still so pleased. My ‘new hair’ is wonderful! It is easy to take care of and if I meet someone for the first time they cannot tell it is not my natural hair! I have seen friends who ask about it and all I get are compliments. Most say I look ten or twenty years younger! I know I have much more self confidence and I am very happy.
I have been undergoing the laser therapy treatments for approximately four months. During that time, I have noticed a significant improvement in the quality and texture of my hair. Overall it feels more full, and it is not as frizzy as it used to be. Also, I no longer lose hair like I did before beginning the treatment, in the shower, or in my brush. I have been very pleased with the results, and would definitely recommend the laser therapy to anyone.

I have a testimonial to tell. I was having a treatment last week. This other patient sitting across from me asked me about my hair. She thought I had not lost it. I told her I had lost it over a month ago. She had no clue I was wearing a wig. I have come across several people who are very surprised when they find out I am wearing a wig. It looks so real. I am grateful I found (HPI) and had the opportunity to use (their) services.
