Hair Loss & Regrowth
Hair loss is often more than a scalp or hair problem. Hormones, nutrition, metabolic health, inflammation, stress, and other internal factors can all influence the hair growth cycle.
At Nexus Derm, we look beyond the visible changes to understand what may be contributing to your hair loss and create a personalized plan to support healthier growth.
Hair Loss Has More Than One Cause
Hair loss can look different from person to person, and the reason behind it isn’t always obvious. Some people experience gradual thinning, while others notice increased shedding or changes after hormonal shifts, illness, stress, or other changes in the body.
That’s why we don’t approach hair loss as a one-size-fits-all problem. We look at the bigger picture to understand the factors that may be affecting your hair growth and determine what kind of support your body may need.
What May Be Affecting Your Hair Growth
Healthy hair growth depends on more than what happens at the scalp. We consider the internal and external factors that can influence the hair growth cycle.
Hormones
Hormonal changes and imbalances can influence shedding, thinning, and the overall hair growth cycle.
Nutrition
Your hair needs adequate nutrients to grow. Nutritional deficiencies or imbalances may contribute to thinning or excessive shedding.
Metabolic Health
Metabolic changes can affect the systems that support healthy hair growth and overall tissue function.
Inflammation
Inflammation can interfere with the environment needed for healthy follicle function and hair growth.
Stress & Lifestyle
Stress, sleep, illness, and other lifestyle factors can influence the hair growth cycle and contribute to changes in shedding.
Taking a GLP-1 and Noticing More Hair Shedding?
Hair shedding can sometimes occur alongside changes in weight, nutrition, hormones, stress, and overall health. If you’ve noticed changes in your hair after starting a GLP-1, it’s worth looking beyond hair itself.
Rather than assuming there’s one cause, we look at the factors that may be contributing to your hair changes and determine what your individual needs may be.
Your hair changes may be telling you something worth exploring.
Healthy Hair Starts Beneath the Surface
Think of hair growth like a plant. What you see above the surface depends on the environment below it.
When the internal environment is supported, hair has a stronger foundation for healthy growth. When hormones, nutrition, inflammation, metabolic health, or other factors are out of balance, the hair growth cycle can be affected.
Our approach focuses on understanding that environment so we can address contributing factors rather than simply treating what you see on the surface.
A Personalized Approach to Hair Restoration
Your treatment plan depends on your individual symptoms, history, health factors, and goals. Depending on what we identify, your care may include a combination of medical treatments, targeted nutritional support, and strategies designed to address underlying contributors to hair loss.
PRP Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) uses growth factors from your own blood to support hair follicle activity and encourage healthier, fuller-looking hair over time.
Hormonal Support
When hormonal changes are contributing to hair thinning or shedding, addressing those underlying factors may help support a healthier and more consistent growth cycle.
Internal Support
Nutrition, metabolic health, inflammation, and other internal factors can influence hair growth. Supporting these foundations helps create a healthier environment for your hair.
When Hair Changes, It’s Worth Looking Deeper
You may benefit from a deeper evaluation if you’re experiencing:
- Gradual hair thinning
- Increased or excessive shedding
- Reduced hair density or volume
- Changes in hair growth after hormonal shifts
- Hair changes following illness or significant stress
- Hair loss that doesn’t seem to have an obvious cause
- Ongoing hair concerns despite trying other approaches
Not Sure What’s Behind Your Hair Loss?
