Why Am I Losing My Hair: Common Hair Loss Causes

  • Genetics

    The most common cause of hair loss is inherited from your family, such as male-pattern and female-pattern hair loss. These conditions may start in early 20’s and may need treatment early to avoid balding.

  • Medical Conditions

    Few conditions can trigger hair fall or loss, including hormonal changes during or after pregnancy, childbirth, and sometimes in menopause. Medical conditions like hypothyroidism, PCOS etc can also lead to hair fall or loss.

  • Medications and Supplements

    Certain medications, such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and drugs for depression, heart problems, and high blood pressure among others can cause hair fall as a side effect.

  • Physical or Emotional Stress

    Surgery or a severe illness can lead to temporary hair fall or loss. Psychological stress can also contribute to hair fall or loss, although the mechanisms are not fully understood.

  • Poor Nutrition

    Some low calorie diets can cause deficiencies in iron, zinc, vitamin D, and other essential vitamins and minerals, and can contribute to hair loss.

  • Tight Hairstyles and Hair Treatments

    Excessive hairstyling or hairstyles that pull your hair tight, such as braids or ponytails, can cause a type of hair loss called traction alopecia. Harsh treatments like hot rollers, curling irons, and chemical treatments can also damage the hair and lead to loss.

  • Autoimmune Diseases and Hair Loss

    Certain autoimmune conditions, like lupus and alopecia areata, can trigger hair loss. In these cases, the body's immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to shedding.

  • Age-Related Hair Loss

    As we age, hair growth naturally slows down. This can result in thinner, weaker hair. Hormonal shifts, particularly in men and women over 50, can accelerate the process of hair thinning.

  • Environmental Factors & Hair Damage

    Exposure to pollutants, extreme weather conditions, or UV rays can damage hair, making it brittle and more prone to breakage, which may lead to noticeable hair thinning over time.

Types of Surgical Hair Transplant Services in Edmonton

  • Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

    Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a modern technique that involves harvesting the grafts gently and carefully one at a time and then meticulously placing them at the correct angle and orientation in the recipient sites. This is the most common technique and is best suited for clients worried about having a linear scar from an FUT procedure, who want to wear their hair short or whose scalp is too tight for strip harvesting. The procedure is usually done in over one day or two days if large number of grafts are needed. FUE is done under local anesthesia and with the use of analgesia. Pain is none to slight in most cases. A few of the potential side effects are redness, swelling, temporary numbness on the areas treated among others.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Loss and Hair Transplants

What is a hair transplant?

The process involves transferring hair follicles from a donor area to thinning or balding areas for restoration. At Serene Radiance, we offer a personalized consultation to evaluate your hair loss concerns. Dr. Moussa will perform a comprehensive evaluation,, which may include dermoscopy or even a biopsy, to ensure that the treatment plan is tailored specifically to your needs.

How do hair transplants work?

The procedure works by extracting hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back or sides of the scalp, where hair growth is more robust. These follicles are then carefully implanted into the thinning or balding areas to restore hair density. There are two procedures available like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). Over time, the transplanted hair grows naturally, blending with the existing hair. Serene Radiance uses advanced techniques for natural results.

What are common signs of hair loss?

Common signs of hair loss include thinning on the top of the head, receding hairlines, patchy bald spots, and overall hair thinning. Additionally, you may notice more hair shedding during washing or brushing. Dr. Moussa’s extensive training in hair transplants and her focus on personalized patient care ensure that she accurately diagnoses these signs and provides tailored solutions. With years of experience and specialized credentials, Dr. Moussa offers cutting-edge treatments to help restore your hair and confidence.

Is a hair transplant permanent and how long does it last?

The results of the procedure are generally permanent because the transplanted hair follicles are taken from areas resistant to hair loss. However, natural aging may lead to some hair thinning over time. Typically, results last a lifetime, with full growth appearing within 6 to 12 months. Don’t just take our word for it—our patient testimonials highlight the successful, transformative journeys of those who have undergone hair restoration at our facility. View their before-and-after photos to see the results firsthand.

What should I expect during recovery after a hair transplant?

Recovery includes using anti-inflammatory medications, attending follow-up visits, and caring for incision points. Detailed post-transplant instructions are tailored and written for each patient’s individualized care plan. Avoid scalp trauma for the best results.

Can you wear a hat after a hair transplant and how long after?

Dr. Moussa emphasizes proper aftercare for optimal results. Generally, you should avoid wearing a hat for at least 14 days post-procedure to prevent irritation or damage to the grafts. Following her aftercare instructions will ensure a smooth recovery and lasting hair restoration.

How to sleep after a hair transplant

Sleep with your head elevated at a 45-degree angle for the first few nights. This helps reduce swelling and protects the transplanted grafts. Avoid rubbing your head against pillows to prevent any damage during the early recovery phase.

Are hair transplants worth it?

Hair transplants can be highly effective, providing natural and long-lasting results. For those seeking non-surgical options, treatments like PRP therapy and laser hair therapy offer alternative ways to stimulate hair growth and improve scalp health. These non-surgical methods can complement or delay the need for surgical procedures.

How much does a hair transplant cost in Edmonton, Calgary?

Hair transplant costs in Edmonton and Calgary depend on several factors, such as the number of necessary grafts, location of the implant area, and individual hair loss. While surgery costs can vary, we offer all-inclusive packages and flexible financing options to fit your budget. The average price per graft may fluctuate based on the extent of treatment needed for hair regrowth and thinning. Our team helps set realistic expectations and guides you through pricing details, ensuring your hair care journey is affordable and tailored to your needs.

What are the potential risks of hair transplant surgery?

Although it isn’t common, the surgery may involve risks such as allergic reactions to anesthesia, scarring, hair shock loss, pain, and infection. Some patients may experience crusting, excessive bleeding, or folliculitis. It’s important to discuss these risks with Dr. Moussa and follow post-procedure care instructions to minimize complications.
