HAIR LOSS

Hair Loss & Regrowth

Did you know that over 50 percent of women will experience hair loss, or alopecia, by the age of 65? In fact, it is one of the most common conditions we treat in our practice and one of the most distressing to our patients. Alopecia, for both men and women, can have debilitating psychological effects. Many of our patients have desperately tried just about anything suggested to them to regrow their hair; often without benefit and at considerable financial expense. This can lead to feelings of increased anxiety and despondency. However, there is hope!

There are many forms of hair loss, but they are generally divided into two groups– scarring and non-scarring. Non-scarring hair loss is the most common form and can be reversible in many cases. Androgenetic alopecia, or ‘pattern hair loss’ is one of the most frequent reasons for men and women to seek dermatologic care. After a thorough history and physical, a dermatologist may order blood work or even perform a scalp biopsy to evaluate for an underlying medical cause for the hair loss such as hormone imbalances or vitamin and nutrient deficiencies.

Treatments

There are numerous options for treating hair loss. In our practice, we typically recommend a combination of therapies tailored to each patient’s needs. This often includes anti-hormonal agents, topical minoxidil, supplements such as Nutrafol or Viviscal, and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy. Additionally, we recommend HydraFacial Keravive scalp treatments, which effectively cleanse and nourish the scalp, enhancing overall scalp health and complementing other treatment strategies.

Ultimately, the approach to treatment is determined by the underlying cause of the hair loss. The good news is that Alopecia doesn’t have to lead to permanent hair loss. We encourage you to schedule an evaluation with one of our providers and take the first step toward correcting the problem.

PRP Therapy For Hair Loss

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced treatment option for hair loss. It leverages your own natural growth factors to stimulate hair regrowth and improve hair thickness. Here’s an overview of the procedure and its benefits:

Procedure Details:

  • Blood Collection: A small sample of your blood is drawn, similar to a standard blood test.
  • Centrifugation: The blood is then processed in a centrifuge, where it is spun to separate and concentrate the platelets. This creates a plasma that is rich in growth factors.
  • Injection: The concentrated platelet-rich plasma is precisely injected into the scalp areas experiencing hair thinning or loss.

Key Benefits:

  • Stimulation of Hair Follicles: The growth factors released by the platelets activate dormant hair follicles, promoting the transition from the resting to the growth phase.
  • Increased Blood Supply: Growth factors help form new blood vessels, enhancing nutrient and oxygen flow to the hair follicles, supporting stronger and thicker hair growth.
  • Reduced Hair Loss: PRP can help stabilize the rate of hair loss by strengthening hair follicles, making them less likely to shed prematurely.
  • Improved Scalp Health: The growth factors in PRP can help improve the overall health of the scalp by reducing inflammation and stimulating the repair of scalp tissue, creating a healthier environment for hair growth.

PRP therapy offers a safe, effective, and non-surgical solution for both men and women experiencing hair loss. Clinically proven to enhance hair density without surgery, this treatment utilizes the body’s natural regenerative capabilities to stimulate hair growth and thickening. Patients often observe noticeable results within a few months, making PRP therapy an appealing option for those seeking to not only regain fuller hair but also boost their confidence.
