Hair loss and thinning hair is an event none of us looks forward to with glee. But for many men, and women, it is a reality. Hypnotherapy may be the solution to keeping a full head of hair.
While most of us think of the typical “male pattern baldness”, hair loss and hair thinning can be just as prevalent and worrisome for women.
Pattern baldness, also called androgenetic alopecia, can affect over 30% of men and women alike and often occurs when DHT, a metabolite of testosterone, shrinks hair follicles. Hormonal imbalances (like menopause) can also serve as triggers for hair loss, as can some medications, chemotherapy, nutritional imbalances, and stress.
Many over-the-counter options for hair restoration may help enlarge the shrunken (or shrinking) hair follicles; appropriate diet and supplements may improve blood chemistry; but getting to the root of the cause is key.
A June 2009 article in Self Healing by Dr. Andrew Weil cites that mind-body experts at Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine (ACIM) have determined hypnotherapy can help people with “alopecia nervosa and other types of hair loss.” A 2008 study done at ACIM found more than 57% of the clients who underwent hypnotherapy showed, “significant hair growth after…hypnosis.”
Hypnotherapy can help you get to the source of your hair loss. In the hands of a well-trained hypnotherapy professional, you just might find you can stop the loss and establish a new, healthier pattern for your life in the process.

Wow Shawn, this is great information. Again hypnosis has no limits with what it can do. I really enjoyed this article and look forward to how I can use this information in my own practice. Thank you.
Interesting article, thanks. My wife was an intern with Dr. Weil after medical school. Simply reducing stress can add years, and obviously hair, to ones life. Hypnosis can help with that.
Outstanding article!!! And it’s about time … although I haven’t tested Hypnotherapy and Hair Restoration as of yet I just knew there would be a hypnosis solution opposed to expensive drugs, sprays, wigs and gimmicks! Eureka!
To say that hypnosis has no limits is not correct, in my view. The limits are just unknown – that is more accurate. Can hypnosis fix hair loss? I believe it probably can, but it may depend on the root cause (excuse the pun). If the hair loss was caused by stress, sure it’s fixable. I don’t know if stress causes hair loss by the way. I’m just providing an example. But if the hair follicles were damaged by fire (another extreme example), I doubt hypnosis could fix it.
Good facts! I believe the hypnotherapy for hair loss can be helpful. This techniques is effective for relaxing the body, reducing stress and anxiety.
