THINNING HAIR

You may be a good candidate for hair thinning treatment if you’re noticing more hair on your brush or shower floor, a widening part, thinning at the temples or crown, or an overall loss of density. Both women and men commonly experience hair thinning due to genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, medical stressors, or life transitions.

During your assessment, we evaluate your thinning pattern, scalp health, medical history, medications, and potential triggers. For many patients, PRP therapy helps reduce shedding within weeks, followed by visible regrowth and improved density over the following months. You’ll also receive a clear at-home plan to support and maintain in-clinic treatments.

What we evaluate:

• Pattern and location of thinning (part, crown, temples)
• Duration and progression; family history
• Hormonal or life-stage factors (postpartum, peri-menopause)
• Stress, illness, or recent events (including COVID or fever)
• Medications linked to shedding
• Scalp conditions (e.g., dandruff, psoriasis)
• Labs to coordinate with your provider when indicated (iron/ferritin, thyroid, B12, vitamin D)
• Goals, timeline, and tolerance for sensation or downtime

With the right plan, hair thinning can be meaningfully improved:

• Reduce excessive shedding
• Increase the appearance of hair density and strand thickness
• Encourage new “baby hair” growth along the part, temples, or crown
• Improve scalp comfort and overall hair health
• \Restore confidence in everyday styling and photographs
  

Results develop gradually and naturally, with ongoing improvement when treatments are maintained.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Injections — Primary In-Clinic Treatment

PRP uses your own concentrated growth factors to nourish hair follicles, support thicker-appearing strands, and calm shedding. Injections are placed precisely into thinning areas; sessions are efficient with minimal downtime.

All injections are personally performed by Dr. Copeland, known for professionalism, candid guidance, and an understated, no-pressure approach.

Scalp Microneedling (with PRP or Targeted Actives)

Microneedling creates micro-channels that enhance absorption of PRP or topical growth-supporting agents. Often used to complement PRP, especially for the part line and temples.

Medical Therapies (Referral & Coordination as Appropriate)

Evidence-based options may include topical or oral minoxidil, finasteride or dutasteride (for suitable male patients), or spironolactone (for appropriate female patients). We coordinate with your primary care provider or dermatologist when indicated.

Low-Level Laser Therapy (At-Home Devices)

Laser caps or combs can support hair density when used consistently as part of a long-term maintenance strategy.

Scalp & Nutritional Support

Optimizing scalp health is essential. This may include treatment for dandruff or irritation (e.g., ketoconazole or zinc-based shampoos), ensuring adequate protein and iron intake, and building a gentle routine that avoids tight hairstyles or harsh chemical processing.

Combination Planning

Most patients benefit from a phased approach: stabilizing shedding first, then building density, followed by a simple maintenance schedule. Your plan is customized to your pattern, goals, season, and lifestyle—with realistic expectations and ongoing support.
