What Is Hair Loss?

Hair loss — medically referred to as alopecia — is the progressive thinning, shedding, or loss of hair from the scalp (or sometimes other parts of the body) that can affect adults of any age and gender.

Hair grows in cycles. At any given time, about 85–90% of your hair is in an active growing phase (anagen), with the rest transitioning through resting and shedding phases. In healthy hair, this cycle replaces shed hair with new growth — keeping density relatively consistent.

The Mayo Clinic's overview of male and female pattern hair loss causes and treatment explains that hair loss patterns differ significantly between men and women, and between different underlying causes. Men typically experience a receding hairline and crown thinning. Women more often experience diffuse thinning across the top and crown of the scalp, with the frontal hairline preserved. But many other patterns exist — and identifying yours is critical to choosing the right treatment.

For decades, hair loss was viewed as largely untreatable beyond hairpieces or hair transplants. Today, regenerative medicine has changed that landscape dramatically. The NIH has published clinical evidence supporting PRP for hair loss, and PRP has become one of the most effective in-office treatments for many forms of thinning. At Pure Regenerative Medicine in West Lafayette, our physician-led team combines PRP with hormonal optimization and supportive therapies to help patients regrow real hair.

For many patients — especially women — hair loss is multi-factorial, with hormones, nutrition, and aging all playing roles simultaneously. That's why physician-led evaluation matters so much: identifying the right combination of contributors is the first step toward an effective treatment plan.

Understanding the Root Causes of Hair Loss and Thinning

Hair loss has multiple distinct causes — and effective treatment depends on identifying which one is at play for you.

The AAD outlines several hair loss causes and treatment options including PRP, and Healthline provides a focused look at causes of hair thinning in women and available treatments. The most common causes include:

Androgenetic alopecia (male/female pattern hair loss)
Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, postpartum recovery, perimenopause, menopause, andropause, and thyroid imbalances can all trigger hair loss.
Telogen effluvium: Diffuse shedding that typically occurs 2–4 months after a stressor — illness, surgery, childbirth, rapid weight loss, severe emotional stress, or certain medications.
Nutritional deficiencies: Iron, vitamin D, B vitamins, protein, and zinc
Medical conditions: Thyroid disease, autoimmune conditions, scalp conditions, and others can all affect hair growth.
Medications: Some prescription medications cause hair loss as a side effect.
Tension and styling
Aging

What to Look For Common Signs and Symptoms of Hair Loss

Crown & Top-of-Head Thinning

Diffuse thinning across the crown and top — common in women with androgenetic alopecia.

Receding Hairline

Hairline that's pulled back from its original position — typical of male pattern hair loss.

Widening Part Line

A visibly wider part where the scalp shows through more than it used to.

Increased Shedding

Noticeably more hair on your pillow, in the shower drain, or in your brush.

Loss of Volume & Density

Hair that looks finer, flatter, or less voluminous overall, even without specific bald spots.

Why Choose Pure for Hair Loss Treatment in West Lafayette

At Pure Regenerative Medicine, your care is led by board-certified physicians Dr. Marc Estes and Dr. Rickin Shah, with the ability to investigate hormonal, nutritional, and metabolic contributors that most hair loss clinics simply don't evaluate.

Our PRP protocol uses the patient's own platelets — concentrated growth factors derived from your blood — to stimulate dormant hair follicles and improve the local environment for hair growth. Combined with hormone evaluation, nutritional assessment, and (when relevant) BHRT, our approach addresses both the visible symptom (thinning hair) and the underlying drivers in a way that purely topical treatments simply can't. Serving Lafayette, West Lafayette, and the Greater Lafayette area - including Battle Ground, Dayton, and communities across Tippecanoe County.

Ideal Candidates for Hair Loss Treatment

Hair restoration treatments at Pure are designed for both men and women experiencing early-to-moderate hair thinning.

Women noticing the first signs of widening part or diffuse thinning at the crown.

Postpartum Hair Loss

Women experiencing shedding 2–6 months after childbirth that hasn't recovered on its own.

Perimenopause & Menopause

Women dealing with hair changes during hormonal transitions.

Early Male Pattern Loss

Your Initial Hair Loss Consultation in West Lafayette

Your first visit at Pure Regenerative Medicine is a thorough conversation about your hair loss history, family history, current health, and any factors that might be at play — including hormonal changes, recent stressors, medications, and nutritional concerns.

From there, your provider will recommend an appropriate plan — which may include PRP hair restoration, hormone evaluation and BHRT, nutritional support through IV therapy, and ongoing scalp care. We'll explain the realistic timeline for hair regrowth (which always requires patience — meaningful results take 3–6 months), expected number of sessions, and transparent pricing before you commit.

FAQs

Explore our most commonly asked questions to feel informed and confident at every step

What causes hair loss?

Hair loss has many possible causes: genetics (androgenetic alopecia), hormonal changes (postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, thyroid imbalance), nutritional deficiencies (iron, vitamin D, B vitamins), stress-related shedding (telogen effluvium), medical conditions, certain medications, and aging. For many patients — especially women — hair loss is multi-factorial, with several causes contributing simultaneously. Physician evaluation is the first step to identifying yours.

Can a medical spa treat hair loss?

A physician-led regenerative medicine practice like PURE is actually one of the best places to address hair loss — particularly hair loss with hormonal or nutritional components. We can perform PRP injections, evaluate hormones with lab work, prescribe BHRT when appropriate, and provide IV nutritional support — a much broader scope than most standalone aesthetic facilities.

Does PRP really work for hair loss?

Yes — the NIH has published clinical evidence supporting PRP for hair loss, particularly for androgenetic alopecia and early-to-moderate thinning. PRP works by delivering concentrated growth factors from your own blood directly to the scalp, stimulating dormant follicles and improving the local environment for hair growth. Results vary by patient, but most see meaningful improvement after 3–4 monthly sessions.

How many PRP sessions do I need for hair regrowth?

Most patients begin with a series of 3–4 PRP sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 4–6 months. Some patients see early improvements after the first or second session; others need the full initial series. Hair regrowth is gradual — visible improvement typically develops over 3–6 months as new growth cycles begin.

Can hormone imbalance cause hair loss?

Absolutely. Hormonal changes are one of the most common causes of hair loss — particularly in women. Postpartum hormone shifts, thyroid dysfunction, perimenopause and menopause, PCOS, and male androgenetic changes all affect hair growth. Addressing hormonal imbalance (often through BHRT, when appropriate) can resolve or significantly slow hormonally driven hair loss.

How much does PRP hair treatment cost?

PRP hair restoration is typically priced per session or as a treatment package of 3–4 sessions. Most patients invest in a package upfront for both clinical and cost reasons (since a series is needed for meaningful results). Your PURE physician will provide transparent pricing during your consultation, and financing and membership options are available.

Am I a good candidate for PRP hair restoration?

The ideal PRP candidate has early-to-moderate hair thinning with active follicles still present in the affected areas. PRP works best when the follicles are dormant but not yet completely destroyed. Patients with advanced baldness or no remaining follicles may need other approaches. During your PURE consultation, your physician will evaluate whether PRP is right for your specific hair loss pattern.
