Thinning and density
Hair thinning and reduced overall density, often noticed gradually rather than at a single moment.

Root-Cause · Physician-Led · Personalized
Hair loss is more than a cosmetic concern. It is often an early sign that something deeper is happening within the body — hormonal imbalance, chronic inflammation, nutritional deficiency, metabolic dysfunction, gut health issues, thyroid disorders, and chronic stress can all contribute to thinning hair and poor follicle health. The Hair Loss & Restoration Program through Ageless Solutions at Sieveking Plastic Surgery in Franklin, Tennessee, begins by identifying why hair loss is occurring.
Identify the cause. Treat the biology. Restore healthy growth.

Hair loss is a symptom — not a diagnosis.
Patients come to us with thinning and reduced density, increased shedding, receding hairlines, widening part lines, and changes in hair quality and texture. Each of these patterns can point toward a different underlying cause, which is why evaluation precedes treatment rather than following it.
The program combines advanced diagnostics with personalized treatment designed to restore healthy hair growth while optimizing your overall health and longevity. Rather than simply treating the symptom, care is directed at the underlying biology — and at the systems, from thyroid to gut, that follicle health depends on.
The approach
Treat the biology, not the symptom.
Hair loss rarely has a single cause. Hormonal imbalances, including age-related hormone decline, sit alongside thyroid dysfunction — a common and frequently missed contributor — as two of the most consistent drivers we evaluate.
Nutritional deficiencies, including iron and other key nutrients, are assessed alongside gut health and inflammation, which affect both nutrient absorption and immune activity. Metabolic dysfunction, including insulin resistance, is evaluated in the same pass, as are stress and lifestyle factors such as sleep and chronic stress load.
Because these systems interact, the evaluation looks at them together rather than in isolation. The findings determine the protocol — which is why two patients presenting with the same visible thinning may follow very different plans.
The patterns that bring patients in.
These presentations can have many different underlying causes — whether this program is appropriate is a medical determination made after a thorough evaluation.
Increased shedding
More hair lost through washing, brushing, and daily handling than has been normal for you.
Receding hairlines
Change at the hairline itself, which can follow a different underlying cause than diffuse thinning.
Widening part lines
A part that has broadened over time — frequently the first visible sign of reduced density.
Hair quality and texture
Poor hair quality and changes in texture, which can reflect nutrient status and follicle health.
What your plan may include
Built from your findings, not a template.
Depending on your evaluation, your personalized plan may include any combination of the following — the findings decide, not the presentation.
-
Medical therapy
Physician-directed treatment selected on the basis of your diagnosis rather than a standard protocol.
-
Platelet-Rich Plasma
PRP, using your own platelets to support follicle health, where it is clinically appropriate for you.
-
Regenerative and light-based support
Regenerative medicine coordinated with the peptide programme, red light therapy (LLLT) for the scalp, and microneedling to support scalp health and treatment delivery.
-
Hormone and thyroid correction
Hormone optimization when hormonal factors are contributing, and thyroid treatment when thyroid dysfunction is identified.
-
Nutrition and gut health
Nutritional supplementation targeted to your laboratory findings, with gut health restoration when absorption or inflammation is a factor.
-
Lifestyle medicine
Addressing stress, sleep, and the other modifiable factors that influence follicle health.
Hair restoration is an iterative process rather than a single appointment. Progress is judged against the same markers your evaluation established and against clinical response, at a pace set by the underlying cause identified. Individual results vary.
What to expect: a comprehensive hair restoration evaluation.
01
Consultation
The pattern, and the history behind it
Your evaluation begins with what you have noticed and when, alongside your medical history — the context that separates diffuse thinning from a receding hairline, and recent shedding from a long decline.
02
Testing
The systems follicles depend on
Hormone analysis evaluating the endocrine drivers of follicle health; thyroid testing; iron and ferritin, key markers in hair loss evaluation; vitamin and nutrient assessment; inflammatory markers; metabolic testing with blood sugar and insulin evaluation; and gut health assessment when appropriate.
03
Protocol
A plan built around the findings
This detailed baseline allows the care team to identify which factors are contributing to your hair loss and to build a protocol around those findings rather than a standardized template.
04
Monitoring
Reviewed against your own baseline
Laboratory monitoring on a cadence set by your diagnosis, with the protocol adjusted on repeat markers and clinical response. Hair responds slowly to change in the systems beneath it, and individual results vary.

Questions, answered.
The questions most prospective patients ask before booking a consultation.
-
Because hair loss is a symptom rather than a diagnosis. Hormonal imbalance, thyroid dysfunction, nutritional deficiency, gut health and inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and chronic stress can all contribute, and each points toward different treatment. Testing identifies which of those factors apply to you so the protocol addresses the cause rather than the appearance.
-
Supplementation here is targeted to your laboratory findings rather than chosen off a shelf. Iron and ferritin, vitamin and nutrient status, and inflammatory markers are measured first, and nutritional support is built around what those results actually show.
-
When thyroid dysfunction or hormonal imbalance is identified as a contributing factor, correcting it is an important part of care and many patients see it reflected in hair health. It is typically one component of a broader plan rather than a complete treatment on its own, because more than one factor is often involved.
-
No. Platelet-Rich Plasma is one of several options — alongside medical therapy, regenerative medicine, red light therapy, microneedling, hormone and thyroid treatment, nutritional support, and lifestyle medicine. Your evaluation determines which combination is appropriate for you.
-
Hormone analysis, thyroid testing, iron and ferritin, vitamin and nutrient assessment, inflammatory markers, metabolic testing including blood sugar and insulin evaluation, and a gut health assessment when appropriate. That baseline is what the protocol is built from and what later progress is measured against.
