Noticing more hair in the shower, on your brush, or along your part can feel unsettling. Hair thinning can happen slowly or seem to appear all at once, and the reason is not always obvious. At Chester Skin & Wellness in Chester, New Jersey, Deborah Petrowsky, MD offers regenerative hair treatments, including PRF hair therapy and DE|RIVE® exosome therapy. Dr. Petrowsky has been in private and academic practice since 1998 and brings years of cosmetic and laser medicine experience to her aesthetic work.
Genetics and Pattern Hair Loss
One of the most frequent reasons for thinning hair is hereditary hair loss. Men may notice a receding hairline or thinning at the crown. Women may see a wider part, thinner ponytail, or more visible scalp.
Genetic hair loss often develops gradually. The earlier you discuss it with a trained provider, the easier it can be to explore nonsurgical care before thinning becomes more advanced.
Hormones, Stress, and Health Changes
Hair shedding can increase after internal changes such as illness, hormonal shifts, or major stress. Thyroid concerns, childbirth, menopause, and certain medical conditions can also affect the hair growth cycle. In some cases, shedding begins weeks or months after the trigger.
Nutritional issues may also play a role. Low iron, inadequate protein, or certain vitamin deficiencies can contribute to shedding or weaker growth.
Scalp Health and Inflammation
The scalp environment matters, especially when follicles are already weakened or irritated. Inflammation, irritation, buildup, and poor scalp balance can interfere with the conditions hair follicles need. Chester Skin & Wellness offers DE|RIVE exosome therapy, a plant-derived treatment used to support scalp repair, reduce irritation, and strengthen the scalp environment.
How PRF and Exosome Therapy May Help
PRF hair therapy starts with a small sample of your own blood. After the sample is processed, the platelet-rich fibrin, growth factors, and other healing components are injected into areas of the scalp where thinning is a concern. This treatment is often considered for early hair thinning, weakened follicles, or people who want a more natural, minimally invasive option.
DE|RIVE® exosome therapy can also be used as part of a hair restoration plan. Chester Skin & Wellness describes DE|RIVE as a plant-derived, vegan, water-based treatment that supports scalp repair, hydration, and follicle vitality. It may also be paired with PRF to support the scalp environment from more than one angle.
