Look Wiser · Austin, TX
A root-cause approach to hair loss — addressing the hormonal, nutritional, and circulatory factors that determine whether your follicles thrive.
What It Is
Hair loss is rarely just a scalp problem. In most cases, it reflects something happening systemically — a hormonal shift, a nutritional gap, chronic stress, or an inflammatory process that has gone unaddressed.
My approach combines scalp acupuncture to directly stimulate follicle activity and circulation, with a whole-body assessment to identify and address the underlying drivers. For many patients, this means reviewing labs, discussing diet and stress, and building a plan that goes beyond the scalp.
I treat both men and women. While the causes and patterns of hair loss differ, the principle is the same: treat the root, not just the symptom.

Some conditions — including more advanced hair loss — may require additional sessions beyond the initial 6-session course. This will be discussed at your assessment.
Why every session includes more than scalp treatment
Most hair restoration visits are a topical or device applied to the scalp alone. Every session here pairs LED light therapy with full-body acupuncture addressing the hormonal, circulatory, and systemic factors that often drive hair loss in the first place — not just the follicles themselves. You're getting a comprehensive treatment, not an isolated scalp procedure.
Who I Treat
The causes, patterns, and best approaches differ between men and women — and even between individuals. I tailor every treatment plan accordingly.
Hormonal hair loss is one of the most common — and most undertreated — symptoms of perimenopause and postmenopause. Declining estrogen and progesterone affect the hair growth cycle directly, often resulting in diffuse thinning across the crown and temples.
Postpartum shedding, thyroid dysfunction, iron deficiency, and chronic stress are other frequent contributors. I work to identify which factors are at play before building a treatment plan.
Hair loss doesn't have to be something you simply accept. Microneedling stimulates your scalp's natural repair processes to help support thicker, healthier-looking hair and has been shown in clinical studies to enhance hair growth — especially when combined with proven therapies. Whether you're noticing early thinning or want to preserve the hair you have, I offer a safe, minimally invasive option to help you stay ahead of hair loss.
For men interested in a comprehensive approach, we can also review labs and discuss nutritional and lifestyle factors that influence hair health.
A Note on Alopecia
Whether your hair is thinning due to genetics or certain types of non-scarring alopecia, microneedling can help stimulate the scalp's natural repair processes to support healthier, fuller-looking hair. Clinical studies have shown it can improve hair density and thickness — especially when incorporated into a comprehensive hair restoration plan tailored to your individual needs.
What to Expect
We review your assessment findings, any updates since your last visit, and confirm today's treatment focus before beginning.
I start with LED light therapy applied to the scalp. Red and near-infrared wavelengths warm the tissue, reduce inflammation, and prime the follicles — setting the stage for everything that follows.
Acupuncture points on the body address the underlying patterns driving hair loss — hormonal imbalance, blood deficiency, kidney and liver function. Needles are placed and remain throughout the session.
A medical-grade microneedling device is used across the scalp to create micro-channels that stimulate the dermal papilla cells responsible for hair growth and maximize absorption of any topical serums applied.
You rest while the body acupuncture points finish their work. I remove the needles, do a brief check-in, and send you home with guidance on scalp care between sessions.
Session length: 45 minutes. Please arrive with clean, dry hair and avoid applying any products to your scalp beforehand.
Post-Treatment Care
What you do between sessions matters as much as the treatment itself. Hair restoration is a slow process — consistency and follow-through make a real difference.
Wait at least 4–6 hours after treatment before washing your hair. This allows the scalp to settle and the treatment effects to take hold.
Avoid blow dryers, flat irons, and curling tools for the rest of the day. Heat can irritate a freshly treated scalp.
Drink plenty of water post-treatment. Hydration supports circulation — which is central to what I am trying to improve.
A 3–5 minute daily scalp massage between sessions can meaningfully support results. I will show you how.
If I have recommended specific nutrients — iron, zinc, biotin, adaptogens — consistency matters. Hair growth is slow; so is nutritional repletion.
Hair grows approximately half an inch per month. Meaningful changes in density and shedding typically become noticeable after 8–12 sessions. Progress is real, but gradual.
