CONDITION
Hair Loss
If you’ve been finding more hair in your brush, noticing a wider part, or seeing more of your scalp than you used to, you’re not imagining it, and you don’t have to just accept it. At Confidence Clinic, we provide hair loss treatment in San Antonio, TX that looks beneath the surface for the reason your hair is thinning and builds a plan to help it recover.
UNDERSTANDING HAIR LOSS
When your hair starts telling you something.
Hair loss happens when you shed more hair than you regrow, or when hair follicles start producing thinner, weaker strands. It can show up as extra shedding, a widening part, a receding hairline, or thinning at the crown.
Your hair is sensitive to what’s happening inside your body. Shifts in hormones, thyroid function, nutrient levels, stress, and weight can all push hair follicles into a resting phase. Hair loss isn’t just a cosmetic issue or something you have to live with. It’s often a sign of an underlying imbalance that can be found and treated.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, losing between 50 and 100 hairs a day is normal, and treatment for hair loss tends to work best when it’s started early.
The good news is that many causes of hair loss are treatable once you know what’s driving them. Effective hair loss treatment in San Antonio, TX starts with a careful look at your health history and lab work. Through our hormone balance and wellness services, Ivette Reyes, APRN, FNP-C, builds a personalized plan to address the root cause and support healthier hair.

WHAT CAUSES IT
Hair loss usually has a reason behind it.
Hormone Changes
Menopause, pregnancy, and shifts in testosterone and estrogen can shrink hair follicles and slow growth. Learn more about our approach to hormone-related symptoms.
Thyroid Imbalance
Both an underactive and an overactive thyroid can cause diffuse thinning across your scalp.
Nutrient Deficiencies
Low iron, vitamin D, vitamin B12, or protein can leave your follicles without what they need to grow strong hair.
Stress, Illness, or Rapid Weight Loss
A major stressor, illness, surgery, or losing weight quickly can trigger heavy shedding two to three months later.
Genetics
Hereditary hair loss runs in families and causes gradual thinning in both men and women.
Medications
Certain blood pressure medicines, antidepressants, birth control changes, and other prescriptions can cause shedding as a side effect.
TYPES WE TREAT
Hair loss looks different for everyone.
Female Pattern Hair Loss
Gradual thinning along the part and top of the scalp, often becoming more noticeable after age 40.
Male Pattern Hair Loss
A receding hairline and thinning at the crown linked to genetics and hormones.
Menopause-Related Thinning
Thinner, finer hair that develops as estrogen and progesterone decline.
Postpartum Hair Loss
Heavy shedding a few months after giving birth as hormone levels return to normal.
Stress-Related Shedding
Sudden, widespread shedding after a stressful event, illness, or major life change, also called telogen effluvium.
Thyroid-Related Hair Loss
Diffuse thinning tied to an underactive or overactive thyroid, often alongside fatigue and weight changes.
Nutrient-Related Hair Loss
Thinning linked to low iron, vitamin D, B12, or protein, which we identify through lab testing.
Hair Loss After Rapid Weight Loss
Temporary shedding that can follow quick weight loss. We help you protect your hair while you reach your goals.

Losing about 50 to 100 hairs a day is normal. If you’re noticing clumps of hair, a widening part, or thinning that’s getting worse over a few months, it’s a good time to get evaluated.
Yes. Menopause, pregnancy, thyroid problems, and changes in testosterone and estrogen can all affect your hair growth cycle. Lab testing helps us find out whether hormones are playing a role.

It depends on the cause. Shedding from stress, illness, thyroid problems, or low nutrients often improves once the cause is treated, usually over several months. Hereditary hair loss is harder to reverse, so early treatment focuses on slowing it down.
If you have sudden round bald patches, scalp pain, redness, scaling, sores, or signs of scarring, you may need a dermatologist. We’ll help you figure out the next step and refer you when needed.
