Androgenic Alopecia

Understanding Androgenic Alopecia

Natural Hair Loss Solutions with Dr. Wafaa Matti, NMD | Encinitas

Hair loss isn’t just cosmetic—it can affect your confidence, identity, and emotional well-being. Androgenic alopecia, also known as male or female pattern baldness, is the most common cause of progressive hair thinning. At the Stengler Center in Encinitas, Dr. Wafaa Matti, NMD offers a personalized, hormone-informed approach to slow, stop, and support natural regrowth.

What Is Androgenic Alopecia?

This condition is driven by genetics and hormones, particularly the androgen DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which shrinks hair follicles over time. In women, hair tends to thin at the crown or along the part line. In men, it often follows a receding hairline and vertex thinning pattern.

Contributors include:

• Hormonal imbalance (PCOS, perimenopause, low testosterone)
• High DHT levels or androgen sensitivity
• Chronic stress and cortisol dysregulation
• Thyroid dysfunction
• Nutrient deficiencies (iron, zinc, biotin, vitamin D)
• Postpartum or post-contraceptive hair shedding

Dr. Wafaa’s Integrative Treatment Approach

Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all solution, Dr. Wafaa investigates hormonal, metabolic, and lifestyle factors contributing to your hair loss.

Treatment may include:

• Comprehensive hormone testing
• Nutritional repletion using Fullscript-grade nutraceuticals
• Stress support and adrenal regulation
• Microneedling + PRP injections to stimulate dormant follicles
• Nutrafol recommendations for multi-targeted hair support
• Lifestyle and scalp care education tailored to your case

PRP Therapy for Hair Regrowth

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a regenerative treatment using your own blood’s growth factors to stimulate underactive hair follicles. When injected into thinning areas, it may:

• Improve hair density
• Reduce shedding
• Reactivate slowed follicles
• Support post-partum or post-transplant regrowth

This natural option is especially effective when combined with hormonal balancing and topical care.

Why Choose Dr. Wafaa?

Hair loss can be emotional—especially for women who often feel dismissed or told it’s “just stress.” Dr. Wafaa listens closely and crafts care plans that are science-informed, non-toxic, and deeply personalized. You’re not alone—and your hair story deserves more than a quick fix.
