Hair Loss Treatment in Wesley Chapel, FL
Noticing more hair in your brush, a widening part, or a receding hairline can be stressful for both men and women. At Qvita Health and Wellness, we look for the underlying causes of thinning hair and offer advanced, needle-free and regenerative options, including Alma TED hair restoration, PRP therapy, and exosome-based treatments, to help you regrow fuller, healthier hair.
Understanding Hair Loss
It’s normal to shed 50 to 100 hairs per day as part of the natural hair growth cycle. Hair loss becomes a concern when shedding increases, new growth slows, or follicles shrink and produce thinner, weaker strands. Hair loss can be gradual or sudden, and it may appear as overall thinning, a receding hairline, a widening part, or patchy bald spots.
Common Causes of Hair Loss
Identifying the cause is the most important step toward effective treatment. Common causes include:
- Androgenetic alopecia: Male and female pattern hair loss, influenced by genetics and hormones, is the most common cause.
- Hormonal changes: Menopause, pregnancy, thyroid disorders, and low testosterone can all affect hair growth.
- Telogen effluvium: Temporary shedding triggered by illness, surgery, high fever, rapid weight loss, or emotional stress, including post-COVID hair loss.
- Nutritional deficiencies: Low iron, vitamin D, B vitamins, zinc, or protein can weaken hair.
- Medications and medical conditions: Some prescriptions and autoimmune conditions can contribute to thinning.
- Styling and traction: Tight hairstyles and harsh chemical treatments can damage follicles over time.
How We Evaluate Thinning Hair
As a primary care practice, we’re able to look beyond the scalp. Your evaluation includes a review of your health history, medications, diet, and family history, along with an examination of your hair and scalp. We often recommend in-office blood work through our lab services to check thyroid function, iron levels, vitamin D, and hormones so we can address any internal contributors.
Hair Restoration Treatments at Qvita Health and Wellness
Depending on the type and cause of your hair loss, your personalized plan may include:
- Alma TED: This needle-free treatment uses acoustic sound waves and air pressure to deliver hair-supporting ingredients deep into the scalp, with no pain or downtime.
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP): Growth factors from your own blood can help stimulate weakened follicles.
- Exosome therapy: Bio-signaling exosomes can be combined with Alma TED to support follicle health and regeneration.
- Peptide therapy: GHK-Cu is a copper peptide known to support hair follicle health and extend the growth phase.
- At-home support: (plated) Skin Science HAIR Serum uses platelet-derived exosomes to improve the appearance of hair density and volume between visits.
- Hormone and nutritional care: When hormone imbalance or deficiencies are involved, bioidentical hormone therapy and IV vitamin infusions can support healthier growth.
What to Expect From Treatment
Hair grows slowly, so patience is part of the process. Most patients begin to notice reduced shedding within the first couple of months, with visible improvements in thickness and density typically appearing over three to six months. Alma TED is usually performed as a series of about three treatments, and we’ll recommend maintenance sessions to help protect your results. Treatment can be used on the scalp, eyebrows, and beard.
Hair Loss FAQs
Is hair loss treatment effective for women?
Yes. Female pattern hair loss and hormone-related thinning often respond well to Alma TED, PRP, exosomes, and treatment of underlying hormone or nutritional issues.

No. Alma TED is needle-free and uses sound waves and air pressure, so no anesthesia is needed and most patients find it comfortable.

Most patients need about three Alma TED sessions, with maintenance treatments recommended to sustain results.
When will I see new hair growth?
Many patients notice less shedding within two months and visible thickening within three to six months.
Can stress cause hair loss?
Yes. Significant physical or emotional stress can trigger telogen effluvium, a temporary increase in shedding that often improves with time and supportive treatment.
Can blood tests find the cause of my hair loss?
Blood work can uncover thyroid problems, iron deficiency, low vitamin D, and hormone imbalances that contribute to thinning hair.
Can you treat thinning eyebrows or beards?
Yes. Alma TED can be used on the scalp, eyebrows, and beard area.
