Hair loss sucks. There’s really no nice way to put it. At our Medical spa in Grand Rapids, MI, we see people every day who are dealing with thinning hair, receding hairlines, or just general hair loss that’s making them feel terrible about how they look.

The thing is, hair loss happens for a bunch of different reasons. Sometimes it’s genetics – thanks, dad. Sometimes it’s hormones going haywire, stress, medical conditions, or just getting older. The good news is that we’ve got some pretty effective ways to help your hair grow back or at least stop falling out so fast.

We’re not talking about those sketchy hair plugs from the 80s or weird toupees that fool nobody. These are actual medical treatments that work with your body’s natural processes to encourage hair growth and improve the health of your existing hair.

The goal isn’t to give you a full head of hair overnight – that’s not realistic. But we can definitely help slow down hair loss and in many cases get some good regrowth happening. We also offer advanced skin rejuvenation, chemical peels, microneedling, and wrinkle treatment/Botox for overall appearance improvements.

Causes of Hair Loss We Address

Male pattern baldness is the obvious one. If you’re a guy and your hairline is doing that thing where it creeps back toward your ears, or you’re developing a bald spot on top, that’s usually genetic hair loss. It’s incredibly common, but that doesn’t make it any less frustrating when it’s happening to you.

Women get hair loss too, which a lot of people don’t realize. Female pattern hair loss usually shows up as overall thinning rather than specific bald spots. Hormonal changes from pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid issues can really mess with your hair.

Stress is another big culprit. Major life events, work stress, or physical trauma can cause hair to fall out faster than it grows back. The good news is this type of hair loss is often temporary if we can address the underlying stress.

Medical conditions, certain medications, and nutritional deficiencies can also cause hair loss. Sometimes fixing the underlying problem helps, but other times you need additional treatment to get your hair growing again.

Our Hair Restoration Treatment Options

PRP treatments use your own blood platelets to stimulate hair follicles that have gone dormant. We draw some blood, spin it down to concentrate the platelets, then inject that back into your scalp. It sounds weird, but it works really well for a lot of people.

AnteAGE Exosomes are these tiny messengers from stem cells that tell your hair follicles to start growing again. They’re more advanced than PRP and don’t require a blood draw, which some people prefer. The results can be pretty impressive.

Human Tissue Biologics are another option that uses concentrated growth factors to support hair regrowth. These are processed from donated tissue and can be really effective for people who want the most advanced treatment available.

Red Light Therapy helps improve circulation to your scalp and supports the other treatments. It’s not painful – you just sit under these special lights for a while. We often use it along with the other treatments to boost results.

Results from Hair Loss Treatments

Most people start noticing changes within a couple months, but it takes time to see the full results. Hair grows slowly – about half an inch per month – so you have to be patient with the process.

The first thing people usually notice is that their hair stops falling out as much. You’ll see fewer hairs on your pillow or in the shower drain. Then you might notice some peach fuzz starting to grow in areas that had been thinning.

Over time, that new hair gets thicker and darker. Existing hair often becomes healthier and fuller too. It’s not like you’ll wake up with a completely full head of hair, but the improvement can be pretty significant.

One guy told us he stopped wearing hats all the time because he finally felt confident about his hairline again. A woman said she could finally wear her hair up without worrying about people seeing her scalp. Those kinds of confidence improvements are huge.

Who Benefits from Hair Restoration

Anyone dealing with hair loss can potentially benefit, but the earlier you start treatment, the better your results will probably be. Once hair follicles are completely dead, they’re not coming back. But if they’re just dormant or struggling, we can often wake them up.

Men with male pattern baldness usually see good results, especially if they still have some hair in the areas they want to treat. Women with thinning hair often respond really well to these treatments.

Age isn’t necessarily a barrier – we’ve helped people in their 20s dealing with early hair loss and others in their 60s who want to improve what they’ve got left. The key is having realistic expectations about what’s possible.

You need to be willing to do multiple treatments and give the process time to work. This isn’t a quick fix – it’s more like a hair fitness program that takes months to show full results.
