Hair loss rarely follows the same pattern for everyone. While both women and men can experience thinning hair, the causes and best treatment options often differ. Understanding the reason behind your hair loss is one of the most important steps toward finding the right hair restoration solution that supports healthier, fuller-looking hair.
At Smooth Solutions Medical Aesthetics in Williamsville, NY, board-certified family physician Dr. Jack G. Bertolino, MD, has helped women and men throughout the Buffalo area since 2006. With fellowships in Functional Medicine and Geriatrics, he provides advanced non-surgical PRP hair restoration treatments.
Why Hair Loss Looks Different in Women and Men
Although genetics can play a role for both sexes, hair loss often develops differently:
| Feature | Men | Women |
| Typical Hair Loss Pattern | Receding hairline or thinning at the crown that may progress to more extensive baldness | Diffuse thinning across the top of the scalp, with the frontal hairline usually remaining intact |
| Common Causes | Hereditary male pattern baldness and hormonal sensitivity | Hormonal changes, menopause, pregnancy, thyroid disorders, stress, nutritional deficiencies, genetics, and certain medical conditions |
| Why an Evaluation Matters | Identifies the underlying cause so the most appropriate hair restoration treatment can be recommended | Identifies the underlying cause so the most appropriate hair restoration treatment can be recommended |
How PRP Hair Restoration Can Help
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hair restoration uses growth factors found in your own blood to stimulate inactive hair follicles and support healthier hair growth.
PRP is a non-surgical treatment that involves drawing a small blood sample, concentrating the platelets, and injecting the platelet-rich plasma into targeted areas of the scalp.
Most often, patients choose PRP because it:
- Uses your body’s own natural healing factors
- Requires little downtime
- Can improve hair thickness and density
- Is well suited for many people with early to moderate hair thinning
- Can complement other hair restoration treatments when appropriate
Results develop gradually as the hair growth cycle progresses, making consistency with recommended treatments important.
