Restoring thicker, healthier hair requires a thorough understanding of the factors behind hair loss and hair thinning. At FORM Face + Body, we treat hair health as a vital sign of your overall wellness, using clinical data to design a restoration plan that is as unique as you are.
The health of your hair can depend on a wide range of factors, from hormonal balances and nutrient deficiencies to inflammation and lifestyle factors. Finding the right solution begins with identifying the source of hair loss. Hair health at FORM is guided by double-board-certified expertise and a commitment to our high standards of practice. We choose a medical-first model because we know that sustainable results only happen when we treat the root cause of thinning with comprehensive, evidence-based care.
Focus: Clinical diagnosis of thinning, shedding, and scalp inflammation.
Approach: Integration of nutrition, hormone optimization, and medical therapies.
Treatments: PRP, medical-grade topicals, and regenerative scalp care.
Goal: To stabilize existing hair and stimulate new, healthy growth phases.
Hair health is not defined by density alone. Healthy hair reflects the function of the hair follicle, scalp environment, hormonal balance, nutritional status, and overall systemic well-being.
At Form Face & Body, hair loss and thinning are treated as medical conditions—requiring proper diagnosis, evidence-based intervention, and a long-term strategy rather than isolated or trend-driven treatments.
Hair follicles are highly sensitive to internal stressors. Clinical research shows that nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, inflammation, and systemic health issues can shift follicles into a prolonged shedding (telogen) phase (often months before visible thinning appears). Understanding the underlying cause is essential to choosing the right treatment.
Yes. Multiple studies confirm that specific micronutrient deficiencies can disrupt the hair growth cycle. The strongest evidence supports evaluation and correction of:
Low ferritin is strongly associated with chronic telogen effluvium, particularly in women. Hair growth improves once deficiency is corrected.
Vitamin D receptors regulate follicular cycling; deficiency has been linked to androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata.
Required for rapid cell turnover within the hair follicle matrix.
Deficiency can cause increased shedding, brittle hair, and impaired regrowth.
Hair loss is often influenced by systemic and lifestyle factors that are frequently overlooked.
Clinical evidence links hair thinning to:
Addressing these contributors improves treatment durability—especially in women and patients with diffuse thinning.
When nutritional and hormonal optimization alone is insufficient, evidence supports select in-office medical therapies, including regenerative therapies like PRP, topical treatments like Minoxidil,
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a sophisticated regenerative treatment that utilizes the healing power found within your own blood. During the procedure, a small sample of your blood is processed to concentrate the platelets, which are then meticulously injected into the areas of the scalp where thinning is most prominent. This concentrated boost of growth factors works to re-energize dormant follicles and improve the overall health of the scalp environment.
PRP works by delivering concentrated growth factors that improve blood supply, cellular signaling, and follicle survival. Randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses show that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can:
Topical Minoxidil is a foundational element in many of our hair health plans because of its long-standing track record in clinical research. When applied consistently, it helps to widen the blood vessels in the scalp, allowing more oxygen and nutrients to reach the hair roots. This support helps to shift follicles out of a resting phase and back into an active growth cycle. Our providers ensure you have the correct formulation and strength for your specific type of hair loss to maximize your results.
Minoxidil remains one of the most extensively studied hair-loss treatments. Clinical studies show it can:
Chronic scalp inflammation is increasingly recognized as a contributor to progressive hair thinning. Evidence supports targeted anti-inflammatory and scalp-supportive therapies to improve follicular health and enhance treatment response.
At FORM Face + Body, our scalp-supportive therapies focus on reducing the chronic inflammation that can lead to follicle miniaturization. We offer medical-grade scalp treatments and anti-inflammatory protocols designed to clear the path for new hair to emerge. By balancing the scalp's microbiome and improving tissue health, we ensure that every other part of your treatment plan... from supplements to injections... can work with maximum efficiency.
We don’t chase trends or quick fixes. Our science-first approach combines:
Our goal is preservation, stability, and confidence over time. Schedule your consultation today to get to the root of your hair loss or thinning and have a personalized treatment plan designed for you.
Only when they correct a documented deficiency. What the evidence does not support is routine high-dose supplementation in patients with normal levels. Excess supplementation has not been shown to improve hair outcomes and may worsen shedding or cause systemic side effects.
At Form Face & Body, supplementation is targeted, monitored, and evidence-driven—not indiscriminate.
Emerging evidence supports the use of regenerative and biostimulatory therapies as adjuncts—not standalone cures.
These therapies may:
They are most effective when used strategically and consistently within a comprehensive hair health plan.
While it is common for more than 30 percent of women to experience thinning, it should never be dismissed as a simple part of aging. Female hair loss is often a sign of shifting hormones or nutritional gaps that can be effectively managed when caught early. Our Women’s Hair Health Pathway is designed to identify these specific triggers and provide a medical strategy to stabilize your density and restore your confidence.
Hair growth is a biological process that requires patience, as the average hair follicle takes several months to cycle through its phases. Most patients notice a significant reduction in shedding within the first two to three months of treatment. Visible improvements in density and hair shaft thickness typically become apparent between six and nine months of consistent adherence to your personalized plan.
Yes, significant physical or emotional stress can push a large number of hair follicles into a premature resting phase, leading to a condition called telogen effluvium. This often results in noticeable shedding a few months after the stressful event occurred. At FORM, we look at your cortisol levels and lifestyle factors to help stabilize this process and encourage your hair to return to its normal growth cycle.
Because hair loss can be a symptom of various medical conditions, a proper diagnosis is the most important step in your journey. An initial consultation allows us to review your medical history, perform a clinical scalp exam, and order the necessary blood work to find the "why" behind your thinning. This ensures that you are not wasting time or money on treatments that do not address your specific biological needs.
