If you find yourself seeing more hair in the shower drain or your hairbrush gets fuller more quickly, you’re not alone.
As your body changes and hormonal shifts occur, hair loss can be a common side effect. At the Institute for Hormonal Balance, we help our patients see healthier, stronger hair with an all-natural treatment.

Why Do I Have Hair Loss?
On average, you lose 50 to 100 strands of hair a day naturally. Your hair has a distinct growing cycle that allows hair strands to replace the ones that you lose. However, sometimes hair growth slows and/or extensive loss occurs.
Hair loss can occur due to:
- Genetics
- Hormonal changes
- Stressful events
- Medical conditions
- Specific hairstyles
If you are experiencing hair loss, you’re not alone, and it’s not something you have to live with. Instead, you can face it with our help.
How We Treat Hair Loss
One very effective method for treating hair loss is by using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections. These injections come from a powerful, regenerative substance in your own body!
Here’s what you can expect from our process for PRP injections for hair loss.
Step 1: Obtaining PRP
To get PRP, we take a small sample of your blood and spin it in a centrifuge. This separates the platelets, healing factors, and red blood cells from the other materials in your blood.
We don’t use any extra additives in these injections, just your own PRP to enhance hair growth.
Step 2: Injection Process
Once we have the PRP ready, we inject it into your scalp. Your provider uses a topical numbing solution to make the experience more comfortable for you.
We inject the healing factors into the places that need the most support, targeting bald spots and areas of hair loss.
Each session takes around 45 minutes to gather a sample of your blood, obtain the PRP, numb the treatment area, and perform the injections. Our providers recommend a total of 3 appointments to see the best results for most patients, typically 6 weeks apart.
Step 3: Enjoy Hair Growth
After each appointment, you might experience minimal downtime. Your provider instructs you on post-care procedures to enhance your results.
You can expect to see new growth and a decrease in loss 6 weeks after completing your treatment plan. The results of hair loss treatment can last for up to a year!
Say Hello to Thicker Hair
When shampoos, hair masks, and other products aren’t stimulating your hair growth as you wish, consider hair loss treatment.
In Arlington, our providers stimulate hair follicles and provide your scalp with growth factors to encourage stronger and healthier hair growth.
