Understanding Hair Loss: Causes and Solutions

Mar 7, 2025 | Hair loss

Hair loss is a common concern that affects individuals across various demographics. Understanding the underlying causes and exploring effective treatments is crucial for those seeking to maintain or restore their hair’s health and vitality. At SkinLab NYC by Tribeca MedSpa, we offer a comprehensive approach to address hair loss, combining advanced in-office treatments with at-home solutions.

Causes of Hair Loss

Hair loss can result from a multitude of factors, including:

  • Genetics: Hereditary hair loss, known as androgenetic alopecia, is a primary cause affecting both men and women.
  • Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, or thyroid issues can lead to temporary or permanent hair loss – mayoclinic.org
  • Stress: Significant physical or emotional stress can trigger telogen effluvium, a condition causing hair follicles to enter a resting phase, leading to shedding.
  • Environmental Factors: Exposure to pollutants, chemicals, and hard water can weaken hair, making it more susceptible to breakage and loss.
  • Medical Conditions and Medications: Certain illnesses and treatments, such as chemotherapy, can result in hair loss.

At-Home Solutions Offered by SkinLab NYC

To combat hair loss, we provide innovative at-home products designed to promote healthier hair:

Jolie Filtered Showerhead

The Jolie Filtered Showerhead is engineered to remove chlorine, heavy metals, and other impurities from your water, which can adversely affect hair health. By filtering these elements, the showerhead helps maintain the natural oils of the scalp and hair, reducing dryness and brittleness. This solution is particularly beneficial for individuals residing in areas with hard water or those experiencing dryness and irritation.

(plated) Hair Exosome Serum

Our (plated) Hair Exosome Serum utilizes advanced exosome technology to deliver growth factors and signaling molecules directly to hair follicles. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that play a crucial role in cell communication and regeneration. When applied to the scalp, this serum stimulates follicular rejuvenation, promoting thicker and healthier hair growth. It is suitable for individuals experiencing thinning hair or early-stage hair loss.

In-Office Treatments at SkinLab NYC

For a more targeted approach, we offer several in-office treatments that can be combined with at-home solutions:

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)

PRF therapy involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate fibrin and platelets, and then injecting it into the scalp. These components release growth factors that stimulate hair follicles and encourage new growth. Like its relative, PRP, PRF encourages collagen production – but distills it further, leading to more advanced hair restoration. When combined with microneedling—a procedure that creates micro-injuries in the scalp to further stimulate healing—the efficacy of PRF is enhanced. Patients can expect increased hair density and improved scalp health over a series of treatments.

HydraFacial Keravive

The HydraFacial Keravive is a unique, relaxing treatment designed to cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the scalp. It removes impurities and stimulates circulation, creating an optimal environment for hair growth. This treatment is ideal for individuals looking to improve scalp health, which is foundational for robust hair growth.

Exosome Therapy

Exosome therapy is an advanced regenerative treatment that delivers concentrated exosomes to the scalp. These exosomes contain growth factors and genetic materials that promote healing and stimulate hair follicles. The procedure is minimally invasive and has shown promising results in increasing hair density and thickness.
