Hair loss used to be just an unfortunate part of life and aging that all boiled down to one thing: genetics.
While genetics definitely influence hair loss, don’t despair if you see a receding hairline or widening part. Your hormones, diet, and lifestyle are just a few factors that contribute to why you’re seeing more hair on your brush and less on your head.
One issue we see when patients visit us for hair restoration is the overproduction of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT, a hormone that is derived from testosterone, causes hair follicles to gradually shrink until there is nothing left. While hormones like estrogen encourage healthy hair on the scalp, testosterone encourages bodily hair growth.
At Regain Functional Medicine + Aesthetics, part of our hair loss treatment program includes a DHT blocker in Lawrence. This 3-pronged hair restoration system with GetHairMD includes at home and in-office treatments to protect your hair follicles from miniaturization caused by DHT. Here are some of our recommendations.
Hair Growth Serums
The Rapid Growth Serum from GetHairMD contains red clover extract, an ingredient with isoflavones. These compounds boast estrogenic effects and can block DHT’s attack on hair follicles. Other ingredients, including collagen and vitamin B5, support healthy hair growth by providing nourishment and strengthening your strands.
Use the serum daily after trying the Replenishing Shampoo and Restorative Conditioning Treatment to support scalp and hair health.
Transdermal Infusion of Growth Factors
This serum works great on its own, but better when combined with gentle, controlled electrical pulses from the Transdermal Infusion. This in-office treatment is noninvasive and allows the growth factors in the serum to penetrate deeper into your skin without the need for needles.

Red Laser Light Therapy
Red laser light therapy increases cellular activity and removal of DHT to protect your hair follicles. Using a 650 nm wavelength of light, it stimulates circulation to your scalp and enhances nutrient absorption, resulting in stronger and thicker hair strands.
We also offer a red light cap for you to use at home 3 times a week for 10 minutes. This can help accelerate hair growth and reverse signs of thinning hair.
