The major cause of hair loss is DHT (Di-Hydro-Testosterone). You can see the circular androgen receptors and blood vessels flowing, but the DHT is blocking the flow of capillaries and blood supply to the Androgen Receptors. Once DHT binds to the androgen receptors, the receptors are no longer able to receive nutrients and energy, which is essential for healthy hair growth. As the DHT continues to cut off the flow of nutrients and energy, the hair eventually dies and falls out.
To combat DHT, the primary cause of hair loss, we combine 8 DHT blockers in a proprietary formula to bind harmlessly to the androgen receptor site. As you can see, the blue DHT blockers bind harmlessly to the androgen receptors and stop the green DHT from binding. Over time, as less DHT binds to the androgen receptors, nutrients and energy can flow freely back into the hair follicle. The hair follicle now grows back into its normal growth phase, and your hair has a chance to grow fuller and thicker into vibrant, healthy hair.
This is a common misconception. No, hats do not contribute to hair loss.
LOW LEVEL LASER HAIR THERAPY (LLLT) is a revolutionary, non-surgical breakthrough for both men and women suffering the devastating effects of hair loss. Now it is easier than ever to achieve thicker, fuller, shinier, and healthier looking hair.
The low level lasers are “soft” lasers often referred to as “cold” lasers and do not have the thermal component to cut, burn, or vaporize.
Low Level Laser Hair Therapy treatments utilize a device containing therapeutic soft low level light lasers which deliver light energy directly to the scalp.
First developed in Europe, it has been used for improving hair volume and hair shaft quality, prolonging the life of hair color, and improving hair colors and perms.

If you are losing your hair, you are not alone. Almost 2/3 of men will experience hair loss at some point in their lives. The most common cause of hair loss in men is male pattern baldness, representing almost 95% of all hair loss in men. However, it is only one of many reasons, including Alopecia Areata, which is generally assumed to be an autoimmune disorder that causes “patchy” hair loss, and quite often small circular areas in different areas of the scalp. Alopecia Totalis, which is complete hair loss of the scalp, (an advanced form of alopecia areata). Alopecia Universalis, which is hair loss on the entire body, (also known as an advanced form of alopecia areata). Traction Alopecia, which is hair loss caused by physical stress and tension on the hair such as prolonged use of hair weaving, corn rows etc. Telogen Effiuvium, which is hair loss caused by physical stress, emotional stress, thyroid abnormalities, medications, and hormonal causes normally associated with females. Anagen Effiuvium, which is generally due to internally administered medications, such as chemotherapy agents, that poison the growing hair follicle. Trichotillomania (TTM), or “trich” as it is commonly known, is an impulse control disorder characterized by the repeated urge to pull out scalp hair, eyelashes, facial hair, nose hair, eyebrows, or other body hair, often resulting in noticeable bald patches. Chemotherapy- one of the most common side effects of chemotherapy treatment is hair loss. Chemotherapy hair loss may occur on several parts of the body from the scalp, face, and underarms. At Christoffels we have first-hand experience and are able to assist our clients who are dealing with hair loss as a result of chemotherapy.
Unlike men, where hair loss is usually hereditary, women can have numerous underlying health factors which can be the cause. These can include Telogen Effluvium, a phenomenon that occurs after pregnancy, major surgery, drastic weight loss, or extreme stress, in which you shed large amounts of hair every day, usually when shampooing, styling, or brushing. It can also be a side effect of certain medications. Androgenetic Alopecia, otherwise known as genetic hair loss, is inherited from your mother or father’s side of the family. Women with this trait tend to develop a thinning hairline behind the bangs. Iron Deficiency Anemia occurs when women who are iron deficient don’t have enough red blood cells to transport oxygen to cells throughout their bodies. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, which is caused by a hormonal imbalance in which the ovaries produce too many male hormones. You may experience hair loss on your scalp as well as elsewhere on your body. Alopecia Areata, otherwise known as an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks hair follicles. It commonly causes round, smooth, patches of baldness on the scalp, eyebrows, or legs. Excessive Styling or too much shampooing, styling, and dyeing can harm your tresses. Heat and chemicals weaken the hair, causing it to break and fall out. Post-Partum Hair Loss, in which hormones can fluctuate after giving birth, since having a baby is very stressful on the body. Hypo / Hyperthyroidism when your thyroid is not producing enough hormones, it can contribute to hair loss. Chemotherapy– one of the most common side effects of chemotherapy treatment is hair loss. Chemotherapy hair loss may occur on several parts of the body from the scalp, face, and underarms.

Yes, some women are good candidates for hair transplant surgery when they have pattern thinning similar to what men have. Women may also be candidates in other circumstances as well, particularly if their female hair loss is associated with a previous surgical procedure. Many women opt for eyebrow transplants as well.

Alopecia is a non life-threatening hair loss medical condition that causes hair to fall out in clumps and causes bald spots. The condition may also lead to complete hair loss. The causes are still uncertain but most doctors believe that the body’s autoimmune system attacks its own hair follicles. Presently there is no cure to grow your hair back but there are cosmetic hair replacements that can conceal the hair loss with great success.
