What Causes Hair Loss and Thinning?

Hair loss — whether it’s gradual thinning, a receding hairline, or diffuse shedding — affects both men and women, and it can take a real toll on confidence. The causes vary widely: genetic pattern thinning (androgenetic alopecia), hormonal changes, stress, nutritional gaps, scalp inflammation, thyroid issues, and natural aging all play a part, and female hair loss in particular often has different patterns and triggers than male pattern baldness, typically showing as diffuse thinning across the crown rather than a receding hairline.

At Skinology Laser, we offer hair restoration in Surrey BC through a range of advanced scalp and follicle stimulation treatments designed to slow thinning, wake up dormant follicles, and support new growth — particularly effective in the early-to-moderate stages of hair loss, before follicles have been dormant for years.

Hair Loss Treatments We Recommend

Hair Growth Treatment Table
Treatment Why We Recommend It For This Concern
Microneedling with exosomes Delivers growth factors directly to follicles through micro-channels created by needling — one of the most effective treatments for early-stage thinning and dormant follicle activation.
Jet peel hairs Pressurised oxygen and saline improve scalp circulation and follicle environment without needling, offering a gentle supportive treatment for scalp health.
Keralase Lase MD Combines laser energy with growth factor serum to reactivate follicles, infusing actives directly into the scalp via laser-created micro-channels.
Low light laser therapy Used as ongoing maintenance between active treatments, supporting circulation and extending the hair growth cycle with no downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hair Loss FAQ
How soon will I see results from hair loss treatment?
Hair growth is a slow biological process, so patience is important. Most patients notice reduced shedding within 4–8 weeks, with visible density improvement typically appearing after 3–6 months of consistent treatment.
Which hair loss treatment is best — exosomes, KeraLase, or low light laser therapy?
The best option depends on your stage of hair loss. Exosomes and KeraLase are more intensive follicle-stimulating treatments, while low light laser therapy is ideal for maintenance. Many patients benefit most from a combined treatment plan.
Is hair loss treatment painful or does it require downtime?
No. These treatments are non-surgical and low discomfort with no downtime. Most patients feel only mild tingling or warmth and can return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Does female hair loss respond differently than male hair loss?
The treatments work similarly, but causes differ. Female hair loss is often diffuse and hormone-related, while male pattern hair loss follows a more predictable hairline and crown pattern. Treatment plans are adjusted accordingly.
