Widening part line or visible scalp through hair

A widening part line and visible scalp through thinning hair is more than a cosmetic concern - it is a sign that your hair follicles need clinical attention. At Renew Health & Wellness, we treat this condition with the seriousness it deserves. Dr. Jennifer Redmond, CNP, DNP begins with a thorough evaluation to identify exactly what type of hair loss you are experiencing. This includes a clinical examination and comprehensive lab work. A scalp biopsy may also be recommended to get a tissue-level diagnosis. Common types of hair loss we evaluate include:

• Androgenetic alopecia (hormone-driven pattern hair loss)

• Telogen effluvium (shedding triggered by stress, illness, or nutritional deficiency)

• Other forms of alopecia

Your hormone levels play a significant role in hair thinning. Dr. Jennifer Redmond, CNP, DNP evaluates the following hormones, all of which can contribute to pattern hair loss when they are out of balance:

• Androgens

• Estrogen

• Thyroid hormones

• Prolactin

Nutrition is evaluated as well. Deficiencies in key nutrients can accelerate follicle miniaturization and hair shedding. We assess your levels of:

• Iron and ferritin

• Zinc

• Vitamin D

• Biotin

Identifying and correcting these deficiencies is often a critical first step in slowing hair loss and supporting regrowth.

Once the root causes are identified, we begin a multi-modality restoration program tailored to your specific needs. One of our most advanced tools is Folix Laser Therapy - an FDA-cleared treatment delivered in our clinic. Renew Health & Wellness is the first provider of this technology in South Dakota. Folix Laser Therapy works through a process called photobiomodulation, which:

1. Stimulates dormant and miniaturizing hair follicles

2. Improves cellular energy production

3. Increases blood flow to the scalp

4. Helps follicles transition from a resting phase back into active growth

In addition to laser therapy, we offer exosome therapy - a regenerative treatment that delivers concentrated growth factors directly to struggling follicles. This can help reactivate follicles that have not yet permanently stopped producing hair. Our full treatment program may also include:

• Hair peptide therapies

• Targeted topical treatments applied directly to the scalp

• Systemic (whole-body) treatments that support follicular recovery from the inside out

• Hormonal therapies that address the underlying systemic cause of hair loss

At Renew Health & Wellness, visible scalp thinning responds well to expert, multi-layered treatment - and we are committed to helping you restore what you have lost.
