Hair Loss & Thinning Hair Treatment in Mount Kisco, NY
Thinning hair can be frustrating and affect your confidence. At Briones Weight Loss Center, Dr. Maria Briones helps men and women throughout Westchester County find the cause of hair loss and restore fuller-looking hair with PRP therapy, hormone care, and nutritional support.
Understanding Hair Loss
It is normal to shed 50 to 100 hairs a day, but when shedding increases or hair becomes noticeably thinner, it can affect how you look and feel. Hair loss affects both men and women and can develop gradually or appear suddenly. Identifying the cause is the first step toward the right treatment.
Common Causes of Hair Thinning
- Androgenetic alopecia, also known as male or female pattern hair loss
- Hormonal changes from menopause, pregnancy, or PCOS
- Thyroid disorders
- Nutritional deficiencies, including iron, vitamin D, and protein
- Rapid weight loss or crash dieting
- Physical or emotional stress
- Certain medications
Signs to Watch For
- A widening part or more visible scalp
- A receding hairline or thinning at the crown
- More hair on your pillow, brush, or shower drain
- Hair that feels finer or breaks more easily
Hair Loss and Weight Loss
Rapid or restrictive dieting can trigger temporary shedding called telogen effluvium. That is one reason a physician-supervised medical weight loss plan matters. Dr. Briones ensures your nutrition, protein intake, and supplements support healthy hair while you lose weight.
Hair Restoration at Briones Weight Loss Center
Dr. Maria Briones begins with an evaluation of your health history and, when needed, lab work to check hormones, thyroid, and nutrient levels. Treatment options may include:
- PRP hair restoration, which uses growth factors from your own blood to stimulate hair follicles
- A series of PRP hair treatments followed by maintenance sessions
- Hormone therapy when imbalance is contributing to thinning
- Nutritional support and supplements to address deficiencies
- IV therapy to support overall nutrient levels
PRP works best for early to moderate thinning, so starting treatment sooner gives you the best chance of preserving and strengthening your hair. You can pair hair restoration with skin treatments like a PRP facial for a complete rejuvenation plan.
