Hair Thinning & Hair Loss Treatment in Mount Kisco, NY

What Is Hair Loss and Thinning?

Hair grows in cycles. Each follicle has a growth phase, a transition phase, and a resting phase. Normally, about 85 percent of your hair is actively growing while the rest rests. Hair loss happens when too many follicles move into the resting phase at once, or when follicles shrink and produce thinner hair.

Some people lose hair due to genetics, others because of hormones, stress, or nutritional gaps. Age, thyroid conditions, pregnancy, and even certain medications can trigger thinning. Most of the time, it's a combination of factors working together.

Why Early Treatment Matters

When you catch hair loss early, follicles are still responsive. They haven't permanently shut down. Treatment at this stage can slow shedding, regrow hair in thinning areas, and preserve the density you still have. Wait too long, and some follicles may become permanently dormant.

Common Signs of Hair Thinning

• Increased shedding when showering or brushing

• Hair collecting visibly on brushes

• Widening part lines

• Decreased overall hair density

• Visible scalp showing through

• Thinning at the temples or crown

• Reduced hair volume or texture changes

• Postpartum hair loss

How PRP Restores Hair Growth

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) uses your body's own growth factors to wake up dormant follicles. We draw a small sample of your blood, separate the platelets and growth factors through centrifugation, then inject this concentrated formula directly into thinning areas of your scalp.

How It Works

The growth factors in PRP signal follicles to move out of their resting phase and back into active growth. Results aren't immediate, but they're real. Most patients start noticing thicker, fuller hair within 8 to 12 weeks. Results continue improving over several months as more follicles cycle into growth.

Treatment Schedule

A typical PRP series involves 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. After that, many patients do a maintenance session every 6 to 12 months to keep results strong. Some people see lasting improvements with just the initial series, while others prefer regular touch-ups.

Combining Microneedling with Hair Restoration

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries on the scalp, triggering your skin's natural healing response. When combined with PRP, the results are even more powerful.

Why the Combination Works

The microneedling creates tiny channels in the scalp. PRP applied immediately after penetrates deeper into these channels, reaching the hair follicles more effectively. The healing response stimulates cell turnover while the growth factors actively encourage new hair growth. This dual approach addresses both the scalp environment and follicle health.

Results appear gradually over 8 to 12 weeks as new hair begins cycling in. Most patients see noticeable density improvements by 16 weeks.

Medical-Grade Scalp Care

Treatment doesn't stop with in-office procedures. What you do at home matters just as much. We recommend medical-grade scalp products that support the work PRP and microneedling are doing.

These products address buildup, improve scalp health, and create an environment where follicles can thrive. Using the right routine alongside professional treatment speeds results and makes them last longer.
