Understanding Hair Loss After Rapid Weight Loss
Rapid weight loss can be an exciting achievement, but it often comes with an unexpected side effect: hair loss. This phenomenon, known as telogen effluvium, occurs when the body experiences significant stress, such as dramatic weight changes. At Rivela Hair Restoration in Houston, we understand the frustration this can cause and offer advanced solutions to help you regain your confidence and your hair.
Why Does Hair Loss Occur After Weight Loss?
Hair loss after weight loss is primarily due to:
- Nutritional deficiencies from restricted diets
- Hormonal changes during rapid weight loss
- Physical stress on the body from sudden changes
These factors can push hair follicles into a resting phase, leading to increased shedding and thinning hair.
Innovative Treatments at Rivela Hair Restoration
Hydrafacial Keravive Scalp Treatment
The Hydrafacial Keravive is a revolutionary scalp treatment that addresses hair loss at its root. This three-step process includes:
- Cleanse and Exfoliate: Removes impurities and unclogs hair follicles
- Hydrate and Nourish: Infuses the scalp with growth factors and proteins
- Extend and Enhance: Provides a take-home spray for ongoing nourishment
Keravive Houston patients report improved scalp health, reduced hair thinning, and enhanced hair growth.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Treatment
Our PRP hair restoration treatment harnesses your body’s natural healing abilities to stimulate hair growth. PRP Houston specialists at Rivela use a concentrated form of your own blood plasma, rich in growth factors, to:
- Stimulate dormant hair follicles
- Improve hair thickness and density
- Enhance overall scalp health
Studies show that PRP can significantly increase the number of active hair follicles over several months of treatment.
