SKIN CONCERN · BURNABY & VICTORIA, BC
Hair Loss &
Thinning Hair
Hair loss is one of the most emotionally impactful skin concerns we treat — and one of the most responsive to early, targeted intervention. At Oak Skin, we investigate the cause and stimulate regrowth with clinically proven treatments.
WHY HAIR LOSS HAPPENS
What’s really behind your hair loss?
Hair loss has many causes — and identifying yours is the first step to effective treatment. At Oak Skin, we take a thorough naturopathic approach to uncover the root cause before recommending any protocol.
ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
The most common cause of hair loss in both men and women — driven by DHT sensitivity in hair follicles. Responds well to PRP and naturopathic protocols.
TELEGON EFFLUVIUM
Triggered by physical or emotional stress, illness, surgery, or rapid weight loss — causing widespread shedding 2–3 months after the triggering event.
HORMONAL IMBALANCES
Thyroid dysfunction, PCOS, postpartum hormonal shifts, and perimenopause are among the most common causes of female hair thinning.
SCALP INFLAMMATION
Conditions like seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, and scalp folliculitis create an inflammatory environment that impairs hair follicle function.
NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES
Iron, ferritin, vitamin D, zinc, and biotin deficiencies are frequently overlooked contributors to hair shedding and thinning.
ALOPECIA AREATA
An autoimmune condition causing patchy hair loss — requires a comprehensive integrative approach addressing immune regulation and inflammation.
OUR APPROACH
Hair loss treatments in Burnaby
PRP therapy is one of the most effective evidence-based treatments for hair loss — and at Oak Skin, we combine it with naturopathic care for comprehensive results.
Clinically Proven · Regenerative
Platelet-rich plasma injections stimulate dormant hair follicles, increase blood supply to the scalp, and prolong the anagen (growth) phase — producing measurable regrowth in most clients.
Therapeutic scalp massage stimulates blood flow to follicles, reduces scalp tension, and creates an optimal environment for hair regrowth.
Circulation · Stress Relief
Hair restoration · Collagen induction
The most advanced non-surgical hair restoration treatment available. Scalp microneedling creates micro-channels that deliver potent exosome growth factors directly to dormant hair follicles — stimulating regrowth, thickening existing strands, and extending the active growth phase.
Root Cause · Hormonal & Nutritional
Comprehensive lab work assessing thyroid, iron, ferritin, hormones, and inflammatory markers — followed by a targeted supplementation and dietary protocol.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Hair Loss FAQ
How many PRP sessions do I need for hair regrowth?
Most clients complete an initial series of 3–4 PRP sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 4–6 months. Results are typically visible within 3–6 months of starting treatment.
Can microneedling with exosomes regrow hair?
Yes — microneedling with exosomes delivers concentrated growth factors directly to dormant follicles, making it one of the most effective non-surgical hair restoration treatments in Burnaby for androgenetic alopecia, postpartum shedding, and thinning hair.
Is PRP for hair loss covered by extended health benefits?
PRP is not typically covered by extended health insurance. However, naturopathic consultations — which are a critical part of our hair loss protocol — are often covered.
How do I know if my hair loss is nutritional or hormonal?
A naturopathic consultation with comprehensive blood work is the most reliable way to identify the cause. Our naturopathic doctors assess thyroid, iron, ferritin, hormones, and inflammatory markers as part of our hair loss intake.
