Hormone-Related Hair Loss Treatment and Hair Restoration

Are Your Hormones Causing Hair Loss? Reno, NV

Whether your hair is thinning, becoming dry and brittle or falling out altogether, there is always an underlying cause. For example, the imbalance of hormones is a typical cause of hair loss problems. So, if your hair is thinning or your hairline is receding, hormonal issues are likely to blame.

Men Also Experience Hormone-Related Hair Loss

Hormonal imbalances can lead to hair thinning or loss in men and women. People usually associate hair loss with high levels of estrogen or testosterone, but problems with the thyroid can have the same effect. If thyroid hormone levels are too low or high, it can cause hair loss. Both hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid) can cause hair loss.

Fortunately, correcting the underlying imbalance can solve most cases of hair loss. Your hair should start growing again once the hormone issue is treated, and you may even find that you have more energy and an improved mood.

Hormone-Related Hair Loss Differs from Other Types of Alopecia

Hormonal hair loss tends to be more gradual. For example, you may notice that you can see more of your scalp over time or that your ponytail is thinning if you have long hair.

The most common hormone responsible for hair loss is cortisol – the stress hormone. High levels of this hormone will cause shedding. Life events like having a baby, being overworked, trauma, illness, surgery and rapid weight loss can all trigger your body into stress mode, which overproduces cortisol.

Thyroid issues often bring on dry, brittle hair that seems thin all over the scalp. People with hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism can lose hair or get bald spots anywhere on their scalp.

Your thyroid generates the body’s primary hormone, which affects hair follicle function. Getting the right amount of T4, a type of thyroid hormone, lengthens the time hair follicles spend in their growth phase, which is called anagen. Thus, individual hair follicles lack the necessary assistance to grow without sufficient thyroid hormone.

If you are having trouble with dry skin, losing weight or feeling tired all the time, you may have a thyroid problem and should consult a doctor to learn more about treatment options. You will probably see a difference in the density of your hair after doing this.

If You Want to Improve Your Hair’s Health, Now Is the Time to Start

To avoid irreversible hair loss, address the problem as soon as you notice it. For example, hormone therapy can reverse baldness by normalizing hormone levels. Avance Hair Transplant offers this treatment, but it will not work if hormones are not the cause of your hair loss.

First, you must have an appropriate diagnosis from a hormone specialist. Then, Dr. Erez Dayan can examine your circumstances and determine if hormone therapy is right for you. Do not spend another day losing hair. Please schedule a consultation with us today.

Hands down the most qualified, honest and knowledgeable plastic surgeon in Northern Nevada. Dr. Dayan and his staff are truly committed to offering leading edge technology, quality and professionalism to each and every treatment ranging from to simple non invasive injections to complicated procedures. What he and his team have to offer always seems too good to be true, but they always over exceed expectations and are incredibly budget conscientious. The Reno-Tahoe area is incredibly fortunate to welcome such a skilled and qualified aesthetic professional into the area!

Dr. Dayan is the surgeon clients should interview with and choose for their procedures. I am always very cautious when deciding important life decisions and I can say without a doubt that I would go through my surgeries again with Dr. Dayan. Every appointment has been professional, courteous, informative, and truthful. I never felt rushed. I also appreciate knowing my privacy is maintained. My fear of pain is very respected, and his demeanor eases it quite a bit. I made my decision to trust Dr. Dayan because of his extensive education, vast experience, and my first-hand witness of his character. These factors have allowed me to look forward to all of my appointments.

I had three consultations and didn't make any decisions lightly, but Dr. Dayan blew the competition out of the water. From the moment I met him during my consultation, he was honest and open while also personable. He also insisted on putting me in touch with previous patients before I made my decision so that I could have a better understanding of the process and recovery as a whole. I ultimately picked him because I knew he would do a good job but also because I felt at ease with him. The day of surgery, I was very nervous and he was comforting while efficient with his time. He was also completely honest with me during my recovery and called either myself or my husband often to make sure I was doing well, but also to make sure my husband understood the process completely. He also makes himself so available for any little questions or concerns I've had, making me feel secure in knowing he's only a phone call or a text away. Although I am not yet completely healed (only 3 weeks post-op) I already feel so confident in the work that has been done. He has helped me to transform something that had me so insecure for such a long time into a body I feel comfortable in. I cannot wait for the final results! I won't hesitate to return to Dr. Dayan for anything else I need done. Between him and his office staff (Alli) I feel like more of a member of the Avance family rather than a patient!

I highly encourage anyone who is considering plastic/reconstruction surgery to schedule a consultation with Dr. Dayan. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and outcome from my breast augmentation. At my consultations, not only did I get my questions thoroughly answered, but I was treated with such genuine kindness and patience. Dr. Dayan is professional, highly knowledgeable, honest and has a certain way of connecting with others. For these reasons, I trusted him and felt supported throughout my whole breast augmentation experience from pre- to post-surgery care. All around, I felt safe and informed about this big decision/investment which is all I could ever ask for. I recovered so much easier than I expected, and my breasts are looking perfect and natural! Dr. Dayan definitely listened to what I wanted and followed through. Lastly, I want to mention how sweet and supportive his team is over at Avance! I am very appreciative of their service.

My results after a "noninvasive" procedure are amazing. The cutting-edge techniques and noninvasive technology that Dr. Dayan incorporates into his procedures, as well as being a gifted and talented surgeon and individual, all contribute to his many accomplishments. However, I personally am impressed with his abilities to listen, communicate, and create beautiful results. I highly recommend a consultation with Dr. Dayan before making a final decision on any kind of procedure. Just another satisfied patient!

I had a perfect experience at Avance. Dr. Dayan was quick, professional, and checked in with me regularly to make sure I was comfortable during the short procedure I needed done. His demeanor was calming and I was able to put full trust in his abilities from start to finish. Erez really knows his stuff, and it's amazing he's here in Reno when he could clearly be somewhere much bigger if he wanted. I definitely won't hesitate to book again if needed.

Absolutely an amazing experience! Where to start? When I first thought of getting a mommy makeover my expectations were not that high because I didn’t ever think I could look the way I wanted to. I always just hoped it would be an improvement and I would be happy with that. Then I met Dr. Dayan. From the first consultation he made me realize that he could give me beautiful results that I didn’t know were possible. He was so kind and confident and I knew from that moment that he was going to be my surgeon. I booked my surgery (a breast augmentation with implants and a tummy tuck with lipo) that day and it was the best choice I have ever made. Before my procedure he was very thorough and explained step by step what he was going to do which made me feel so comfortable. I actually wasn’t nervous at all. I was so excited! I am now 1 month post op and my results are above and beyond what I could have ever dreamed my body could look like after a mommy makeover. Dr. Dayan did an exceptional job. I am not completely healed and I already am so pleased. There are no words that can do justice to how amazing it is to put trust in someone with my body and wake up with results that are better than I could have ever imagined. He truly is skilled in his profession and has the eye for what is best for your body to give you the best results. He followed up with me several times post op to see how I was feeling. If I had any concerns or questions he responded to them quickly and personally which made me feel confident that everything was going well! His care is exceptional from beginning to end. He has an amazing staff as well. His Patient coordinator Ali is so sweet and helpful. She is amazing with communication as well as helping you with financial options and scheduling. You won’t be disappointed working with Dr. Dayan and Ali!

Dr. Dayan and his team are the best of the best! The level of care, professionalism is top of the class. I strongly recommend Dr. Dayan and his entire team. I cannot say enough about his work - he is incredibly talented and I am confident under his care. Of course the results are amazing! I love my LIPS!
