How Does Hair Thinning Start?

There is typically not just one cause of hair loss. Often a combination of genetics, hormones, and other triggers contribute to thinning hair.

Androgenic alopecia is medical term for hereditary hair loss. Everyone’s hairline is different, and if you notice your hairline receding or thinning along your crown, it could be due to a sensitivity to DHT. Dihydrotestosterone is a hormone that causes hair follicles to shrink over time. If hair loss is something you know your family deals with, treating early can slow down the process.

Hormones can also cause noticeable balding and thinning. Thyroid issues, menopause, or post pregnancy hair loss can cause hair to fall out in large areas of the scalp. Sometimes rapid weight loss or excessive dieting can contribute. As always, your medical history and lifestyle leading up to hair loss should be taken into consideration.

Due to the number of factors that cause hair loss, getting a proper diagnosis should be your first step. This is why an online consultation can be beneficial.

Why Treat Hair Loss Online?

Treating hair loss online used to mean waiting weeks or months to see progress. But at-home hair thinning treatment allows you to start taking your medication almost right away.

By finishing a questionnaire about your medical history and uploading photos of your scalp, you can get a customized treatment plan sent to you without having to leave your house. Treating hair loss online will improve your consistency since you won’t have to remember to refill a prescription before your next clinic visit.

Some people feel self conscious about their hair loss. That’s why we offer virtual visits that let you text with a clinician. Get your questions answered and upload photos so they can easily follow up with your progress.

You’ll also experience faster access to specialized doctors. Instead of waiting to see if your primary care physician can help, online clinics have doctors who specialize in hair loss and can diagnose you quickly.

What Hair Thinning Treatments Work?

Hair thinning is typically treated with medications that have been clinically proven to target your specific hair loss.

Over-the-counter topical treatment like minoxidil have shown to help hair loss by reducing hair shedding and stimulating hair follicles. Patients typically see results within months of consistent use.

There are also oral medications that many doctors prescribe. Finasteride is a tablet that blocks DHT and can help slow down hair loss and promote regrowth. Your clinician will go over any possible side effects and determine if you’re a candidate for treatment.

Your clinician will continue to monitor your hair loss by having you upload photos throughout your treatment journey. Depending on how your hair is responding, they may make changes to your treatment plan.

How to Find the Right Online Hair Loss Treatment

Not every online clinic is created equal. When researching your options, there are some things you should keep in mind.

Make sure the service you select has clinicians that review your medical history before prescribing medications. Pricing should be straightforward and they should detail how they store your personal information. In addition, you should have the ability to contact the company if you have any questions.

At Omnia Telehealth we take pride in having licensed clinicians overseeing patient care. We don’t use a one size fits all treatment regimen. Patients are unique and should be treated that way.

A great way to research companies is to read their reviews. Look for consistent comments about seeing results, quick response times, and follow ups from clinicians or nurses.

Expectations for Hair Thinning Treatment

Hair loss treatment won’t happen overnight. Here are some general guidelines for what to expect from hair thinning medication.

Within the first few months of treatment you should see less hair shedding. Some patients will notice new hair growth within 3-6 months of taking your prescribed medication. Over time you will notice more dense hair growth. Results vary per individual and missing days of treatment can hinder progress.

Some patients experience what’s called shock loss. When you first start taking treatment for hair loss you may experience more hair shedding. This is normal and is usually due to small hairs falling out to make way for stronger hairs.

After the first few months your reduction in hair loss will depend on if you maintain your daily treatment. Continue following the instructions of your prescribing clinician and schedule check-ins to see how you’re progressing.

Building your Routine

Building a routine you can stick to is important when treating hair loss. Missing days of treatment could slow down your progress.

For topical applications, try to apply it to your scalp at the same time every day. Keep your pills next to your bed or coffee maker so you don’t forget to take them. Set calendar reminders if you think that will help you remember. Every few weeks take a photo of your scalp so you can compare your progress.

At Omnia Telehealth we will help you build a routine that works for you and your lifestyle. Make sure to adjust your routine if you feel you are slipping so you can continue to see results.
