Bald spots can be a source of discomfort and self-consciousness for many individuals.

However, with the pioneering treatments and techniques available at Charles Medical Group, there is a path to restoring your hair’s density and regaining confidence. Understanding the root causes of bald spots is essential to selecting the most effective treatment.

Hormonal Imbalances and Hair Loss

Hormonal changes can play a significant role in hair loss, leading to bald spots. Conditions such as androgenetic alopecia, more commonly known as male or female pattern baldness, are influenced by hormones like dihydrotestosterone (DHT). At Charles Medical Group, we assess hormonal levels and consider medical treatments that can help stabilize these imbalances, consequently reducing hair loss and promoting regrowth.

Nutritional Deficiencies Impacting Hair

Your hair’s health is closely linked to the nutrients you consume. Deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals, such as iron, vitamin D, and biotin, can lead to hair loss. Our team at Charles Medical Group can guide you through a nutritional evaluation and recommend dietary changes or supplements to support hair regrowth and overall scalp health.

Stress and Its Effects on Hair

Stress is another common culprit behind hair loss. Telogen effluvium, a condition where hair falls out after a stressful event, can create noticeable bald spots. Managing stress through lifestyle adjustments and therapy can be a crucial part of the hair regrowth journey.

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

LLLT is a non-surgical treatment option that uses laser light to stimulate hair follicles, promoting growth and halting further hair loss. The LaserCap® device, available at Charles Medical Group, is an FDA-cleared LLLT treatment that patients can use in the comfort of their own homes.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections

PRP therapy involves injecting a concentration of a patient’s own platelets into the scalp to encourage hair growth. This treatment, which can be particularly effective in treating bald spots, harnesses the body’s natural healing mechanisms and growth factors to revitalize hair follicles.

Hair Growth Stimulants

Selecting the right hair growth stimulants is essential. Minoxidil and finasteride are two FDA-approved treatments that have shown success in promoting hair growth and slowing down loss. Dr. Glenn Charles and his team can help tailor these options to suit individual cases, ensuring the best results.

Surgical Interventions

For more pronounced balding, surgical treatments such as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or the ARTAS® Robotic Hair Transplant system may be recommended. FUE is a minimally invasive procedure where individual hair follicles are extracted from a donor area and transplanted to the balding spots. The ARTAS® system enhances this process with robotic precision and has been a game-changer in hair restoration with natural-looking outcomes.

At-Home Care for Hair Regrowth

Beyond in-office treatments, proper at-home care is vital for maintaining scalp health and supporting the regrowth process. Gentle hair care products, regular scalp massages to stimulate blood flow, and avoiding harsh chemical treatments can all contribute to a healthier hair growth environment.

Personalized Approach

Each person’s hair loss journey is unique, which is why Charles Medical Group emphasizes a personalized approach. Dr. Glenn Charles and his experienced team take the time to understand each patient’s specific situation, providing customized treatments that align with their hair restoration goals.
