What is Thinning Hair?

When hair begins to thin, it loses its volume and density and strands may feel lacklustre and weak. Hair may even appear a little patchy.

There are a number of reasons behind thinning hair however genetics and ageing are two of the most common causes. In fact, thinning hair is often hereditary and you may be more susceptible if other members of your family have previously experienced thinning hair. Hormones also play a part and women may find that their hair becomes thinner during pregnancy, after childbirth and during menopause. Hormonal conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can also result in thinning hair and chronic stress, which may lead to hormonal changes, is also a contributor to thinning hair.

Other factors that can impact hair health include certain nutritional deficiencies such as lack of vitamin D, iron and zinc - to name a few, as well as certain medications- such as antidepressants and some contraceptives - and even certain hairstyles. If you regularly wear your hair back tight and/or use treatments such as chemical straightening or excessive styling using heated appliances, then thinning hair might be more likely. If you suffer from a chronic illness or particular medical condition then this could also impact hair’s volume.

We have several treatments at Dr David Jack to help thicken hair. Get in touch and find out how we can help.

Treatments for Thinning Hair

01Nucleofill

Polynucleotides, such as our Nucleofil is a breakthrough treatment when it comes to thinning hair solutions and effective hair restoration. It acts as an injectable biostimulator solution made up of fragments of fish that remarkably mimic human DNA. When the solution is injected into the scalp, it awakens dormant hair follicles and stimulates them to produce the essential components that contribute to stronger hair growth and scalp revitalisation.

02Trichocell

For those experiencing the first signs of thinning hair, TrichoCell Therapy can help to boost hair density and improve hair follicle function. This treatment combines advanced microneedling with potent CALECIM® Professional Serum to revitalize your scalp and hair follicles.
The process begins with a Dermapen, a professional microneedling device, creating tiny channels in your scalp. This allows for optimal absorption of the CALECIM® serum. A second layer of serum is then applied and microneedled into the affected areas. This dual-action technique boosts blood flow to the scalp, kickstarting the hair's growth phase (anagen) and enlarging hair follicles by up to 30%. TrichoCell Therapy serves as an excellent first step before considering more intensive treatments like PRP, offering a non-invasive way to combat thinning hair and promote healthier, fuller-looking hair.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) can deliver impressive results in boosting density to thinning hair. The treatment is ideal for those looking for a natural, minimally invasive procedure, PRP uses noartificial chemicals or toxins, just your own blood to stimulate new hair growth in areas where hair has been lost, for example in male and female pattern baldness and androgenic alopecia.
PRP stimulates dormant and active follicles to start producing thicker, stronger hair again and is an effective alternative or adjunct to hair transplant surgery for men and women.
It delivers generally impressive results, with some studies showing between 20-60% increase in thickness and cover of hair in areas treated over the course of a year following the treatment.
