Why Hair Loss Happens

Hair thinning can be distressing—whether it’s triggered by genetics, hormones, stress, or nutrient deficiencies. Most men and women who visit our St. Louis clinic have already tried over-the-counter treatments without success. True hair restoration begins with understanding why follicles are shutting down.

Common causes include:

• Hormonal shifts: DHT sensitivity or thyroid imbalance
• Nutrient depletion: Low ferritin, zinc, vitamin D, or amino acids
• Chronic inflammation: Often linked to gut dysbiosis or high insulin
• Poor scalp circulation and oxidative stress

At Sheen Vein, we evaluate these factors through functional testing before recommending a personalized treatment plan.

PRF and Alma TED: Regeneration from the Inside Out

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) injections use your own concentrated growth factors to stimulate dormant follicles. Because PRF releases healing factors slowly over time, it supports long-term follicular rejuvenation.

Our Alma TED ultrasound-based system delivers growth serums and peptides through the scalp without needles, improving absorption and comfort. Patients usually see thicker strands and improved density within three months.

Red-Light and PBM for Scalp Health

Photobiomodulation (PBM) increases mitochondrial energy in follicle cells, improving oxygenation and nutrient uptake. Red-light caps and in-office PBM sessions can be combined with PRF or Alma TED for synergistic growth.

A Whole-Body Approach

Hair loss is often a reflection of systemic imbalance. By correcting insulin resistance, optimizing thyroid and iron levels, and reducing inflammation, hair growth can resume naturally.

Results You Can See—and Feel

Most patients notice reduced shedding within 4–6 weeks and visible regrowth in 3–4 months. The best outcomes occur when regenerative therapies are paired with lifestyle and nutritional optimization.
