Miami, Florida (Hexa PR Wire — January 29, 2026) —
Dr. Nicholas Nikolov joins The Michael Peres Podcast to discuss hair loss causes, early interventions, and how patients can evaluate options without relying on assumptions about genetics alone. Nikolov, a board-certified plastic surgeon and founder of The Nikolov Center for Plastic Surgery, explains how hair thinning can be influenced by genetics, stress, traction from tight hairstyles, chemical exposure, thyroid and metabolic issues, malnutrition, and extreme fasting. He also discusses why scalp health and lifestyle factors can affect outcomes even when a genetic predisposition is present. Dr. Nikolov outlines practical first steps for someone in their 20s noticing early thinning, including ruling out underlying medical contributors, improving nutrition, and building consistent scalp-care habits. He describes traction alopecia and why certain hairstyles can lead to long-term follicle damage. He also discusses supplements such as multivitamin and biotin blends, how low-level laser “cap” devices are intended to work, and why some early-onset cases may ultimately require hair transplantation depending on progression and response to conservative measures.
