Winter Hair Loss Treatments: What to Do About Seasonal Shedding –

The cold weather has descended upon Manhattan and you may have started to notice more hair in your brush or your drain. No, this isn’t your imagination – and it isn’t an old wives’ tale that humans “shed” in the winter! It is clinically proven by several medical studies that hair loss is, indeed, worse in the colder months. Fortunately, there are many treatments that can help you counteract the effects of winter hair loss – and regrow thick, healthy hair year round.

At Goldenberg Dermatology in Manhattan, board certified dermatologist Dr. Gary Goldenberg offers the latest and most advanced treatments for winter – and year round – hair loss. In this article he will discuss three of the most effective, cutting edge hair restoration treatments offered at our Manhattan office.

Winter Hair Loss is Real

For decades, the idea that humans could experience seasonal hair loss was scoffed at by the medical community. However, in 1969, a groundbreaking clinical study concluded that seasonal shedding did, in fact, occur in humans. In the years since, medical professionals have acknowledged the validity of winter hair loss, and have developed numerous treatments to combat the condition.

In more recent clinical research, winter hair loss has been observed to occur in men and women alike, and is believed to be the result of seasonal changes to the body’s hormones.

Winter hair loss was the subject of a 1991 clinical study, where participants were shown to have collectively experienced maximum hair loss during the autumn and winter seasons. Similar results were observed five years later, when France’s L’Oréal Laboratories conducted their own study pertaining to winter hair loss.

What You Can Do About Winter Hair Loss

Losing a few strands of hair in the winter might not seem all that significant to someone with thick, full hair. But for less fortunate individuals, winter hair loss can feel devastating. Winter hair loss can aggravate the effects of chronic or progressive forms of hair loss like telogen effluvium or androgenic alopecia; worsening the impact of an already difficult situation.

But for anyone in the Manhattan area, Goldenberg Dermatology offers a variety of treatments capable of making the effects of winter hair loss a thing of the past. Thanks to procedures like PRP and exosome hair loss treatments, our patients have access to all-natural methods of stimulating hair growth that lasts all year round.

PRP Hair Loss Treatment

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) hair restoration is one of the most popular winter hair loss treatments we offer our Manhattan patients. PRP hair restoration is both non-surgical and 100% natural.

Platelets are a translucent liquid within the blood that secrete healing proteins known as “growth factors.” Since concentrated PRP contains as much as 10 times more growth factor than normal blood, it is a valuable hair loss treatment for seasonal shedding.

PRP hair restoration is performed by drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, the platelets of which are then separated from the red and white blood cells via centrifuge. The PRP is then injected into the area of the scalp affected by hair loss, where it will then increase the hair follicles’ blood supply and stimulate the rejuvenation of the hair follicles. This, in turn, triggers and maintains the growth of natural hair, thereby reversing the effects of winter hair loss.

Exosome Hair Loss Treatment for Winter Shedding

Our Manhattan area patients also have the option of fighting winter hair loss with revolutionary new exosome therapy. Exosome hair loss treatment is minimally invasive, 100% natural, and avoids the pain and risks of hair transplant surgery.

Goldenberg Dermatology in Manhattan is proud to be among the first dermatologists in Manhattan to offer exosome hair loss treatment for rejuvenating hair follicles, revitalizing the scalp, and restoring natural hair growth.

Exosomes are the body’s tiny cellular messengers that unlock its natural repair and regeneration processes – awakening dormant follicles and stimulating hair growth from within. 100% natural, plant-based exosome hair loss treatments harness the power of the body’s own cellular messengers to unlock the body’s healing potential – for a thicker, fuller, more radiant hair.

Exosome hair loss treatment restores hair growth in multiple ways. First, the exosomes stimulate follicle repair and growth by awakening dormant hair follicles, jumpstarting cell division and hair growth, for thicker fuller hair. Exosome therapy also improves blood circulation in and around the scalp, ensuring that vital nutrients reach follicles for optimal health and maximum hair growth.

Additionally, exosomes reduce inflammation. Chronic inflammation can stunt hair growth. Exosomes’ anti-inflammatory properties create a healthy environment for follicles to thrive. Finally, exosomes are believed to extend the active hair growth phase. All hair grows in phases. By prolonging the anagen phase (active hair growth stage) of your hair cycle, the follicles are able to produce more, thicker, and fuller hair.
