Hair Loss Services in Fort Collins

Helping your own hair grow back, without surgery.

Core & Crown Collective offers hair loss services in Fort Collins for women and men, built around regrowing your own hair. Everything starts with a clinical scalp evaluation with Amy Gray, a clinical trichologist. From there, Amy builds your plan from DNA testing, laser therapy, scalp care in the studio and nutrition, with hair replacement where hair will not grow back. The plan follows from what is driving your hair loss, not from a treatment chosen in advance.

Private appointments in Fort Collins · a plan built for your scalp

Every plan starts with finding out why

Thinning, shedding and a widening part can look alike in the mirror but have very different causes. The American Academy of Dermatology puts it plainly: effective treatment for hair loss begins with finding the cause. That is why Amy starts with your scalp and your history, and adds the hair loss DNA test for what the scalp alone cannot show.

Under magnification Amy examines the scalp and the follicles themselves, and measures density and miniaturization, meaning how much finer the hairs are growing.
Your last six to twelve months Health, stress, diet and medications. Shedding often starts a few months after whatever set it off.
Progress you can measure Your findings are recorded, and later visits measure the same things the same way, so you can see what is changing.

How the clinical scalp evaluation works

Hair loss services to help your hair grow back

Each of these plays a different part in helping your hair grow back. Which ones belong in your plan depends on what the scalp evaluation and the DNA test find.

Hair loss DNA test A cheek swab that reads inherited variants linked to hair loss, scalp health, nutrient use and which modalities you would most likely respond to, like exosomes and growth factors. See the hair loss DNA test
Laser therapy Low-level laser therapy that stimulates anagen hairs and activates dormant follicles, with certain laser caps Amy uses and recommends because they have proven to be effective. More on laser therapy
In-studio scalp care Scalp treatments here in the studio that care for the skin your follicles grow in, matched to what the evaluation finds.
Nutrition, stress and sleep Nutrition coaching with Amy, who is a certified nutrition coach as well as a clinical trichologist. The Core to Crown Transformation also covers stress, sleep and recovery. See nutrition coaching

Laser therapy for hair loss

Laser therapy is a non-surgical option for men and women. It stimulates anagen hairs, activates dormant follicles, removes inflammation and stimulates circulation. Amy uses and recommends certain laser caps that have proven to be effective. The cap she currently sells has 312 medical-grade laser diodes (272 at 650 nm red, 20 at 780 nm near-infrared and 20 at 808 nm deep near-infrared) and is worn for six minutes a day.

What the hair loss DNA test adds

The scalp evaluation does not give the full picture of what has caused your hair loss. It simply determines what has currently manifested on the scalp. Amy gets an up-close view of sebum buildup, clogged follicles and miniaturization, but it is not the tell-all. The hair loss DNA test goes further. It shows which modalities you would most likely respond to, like exosomes and growth factors, so your plan is built around what is most likely to work for you, and it gives you a better plan going forward. Amy goes through the report with you.

Regrowth or coverage: restoration and replacement

Restoration works to grow your own hair back

Hair restoration means finding the cause and building a plan to regrow your own hair, without surgery. Most of the hair loss services on this page are built around it.

Working to regrow your own hair

Replacement covers hair loss

Replacement means a hairpiece: a wig, a topper, a custom system or a CRLab CNC cranial prosthetic. It is an option where hair will not grow back, and some people wear one while restoration work goes on underneath. See hair replacement for women and men.

Coverage while you wait, or for good

Considering a hair transplant in Fort Collins?

A hair transplant moves hair you already have, usually from the back and sides of the head, to thinning areas. It does not create new hair, and it does not stop the hair loss that caused the thinning, so the hair around a transplant can keep thinning. Transplants are not done at Core & Crown Collective. Whatever you decide, knowing what is driving your hair loss comes first. A scalp evaluation with Amy is the first step in finding which non-surgical options may help you regrow your own hair before you consider surgery.

Hair loss services in Fort Collins: common questions

What hair loss services does Core & Crown Collective offer in Fort Collins? Core & Crown Collective offers a clinical scalp evaluation, a hair loss DNA test, laser therapy, scalp care in the studio, nutrition coaching, and hair replacement, including custom systems, CRLab CNC cranial prosthetics, wigs and toppers. Every plan starts with the scalp evaluation.
Can hair grow back without surgery? Yes, in many cases, and helping hair grow back without surgery is what Amy’s work is built around. Shedding set off by illness, childbirth, rapid weight loss or major stress does not always resolve on its own. Follicles become dormant due to lack of nutrition, absorption issues, hormones or inflammation, and hair loss can become permanent the longer you wait. The scalp evaluation shows what is happening on your scalp now, and the hair loss DNA test shows which modalities you would most likely respond to. Schedule a scalp evaluation and take action now.
Does laser therapy work for hair loss? Yes. Laser therapy is a non-surgical option for men and women. It stimulates anagen hairs, activates dormant follicles, removes inflammation and stimulates circulation. Amy uses and recommends certain laser caps that have proven to be effective. Results vary from person to person, so laser therapy is one part of a plan built around you.
What is the difference between hair restoration and hair replacement? Hair restoration works to regrow your own hair. Hair replacement covers hair loss with a hairpiece, such as a wig, topper, custom system or cranial prosthetic. Core & Crown Collective offers both, and some people use them together.
Is there an alternative to a hair transplant? For many people, yes. A plan to regrow your own hair starts with finding the cause and can include laser therapy, scalp care and nutrition. Where hair will not grow back, a custom hair system gives coverage without surgery.
Is a trichologist a doctor? No. A trichologist is a hair and scalp specialist, not a physician. Amy’s work is the scalp and hair themselves: examining them, measuring them and building a plan to help your hair grow back. If something she finds needs a doctor, she tells you.
