In this blog, we’ll discuss today’s cutting-edge hair restoration treatments and how they can help you regain your confidence.
Let’s dive in.
The Causes of Hair Loss
Hair loss can result from age, genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, poor diet, certain medications and supplements, stress, tight hairstyles, or hair treatments that cause scarring or burning.
Here’s a more in-depth breakdown of how hair loss occurs in men and women:
Genetics. Both men and women develop hair loss as a result of genetics. In women, hereditary hair loss usually begins as an overall thinning of the part. In men, genetic hair loss begins as a receding hairline or a bald spot near the top of the head.
Age. Most people begin to notice at least a bit of hair loss as they age. As we get older, hair follicles stop growing hair, which can cause the hair to thin and lose its color. However, age-related hair loss can be treated with hair restoration procedures when detected early.
Alopecia areata. Alopecia areata is a disease that occurs when a person’s immune system begins to attack the body’s hair follicles, causing hair loss. People with alopecia areata can lose hair all over their bodies - not just on their heads. Fortunately, hair that does not grow back can be stimulated via hair restoration treatments.
Stress on the body. Life stress or a big event, like childbirth, illness, or an accident can cause hair loss. This can also happen during a stressful time in your life, like a divorce or the death of a loved one. Fortunately, you can promote hair growth with hair restoration treatments like platelet-rich plasma.
Hair care treatments. Certain hair treatments like perming, relaxing, or braiding your hair can damage the hair follicle and lead to hair loss. While this hair loss can be challenging to treat or restore, it is possible. See a skilled hair restoration expert to learn more about your options.
Hormonal imbalances. Hormonal imbalances can lead to hair loss in men and women, although it’s more common in women. Regrowth is possible for this type of hair loss, but it will require the help of a skilled hair restoration expert.
These are the most common causes of hair loss. A person may experience one or many of these symptoms. The good news, however, is that most of them are treatable. Pursuing a consultation with an expert is the first step to identify your treatment options and discover whether platelet-rich plasma treatment is possible.
The Best Option for Hair Restoration: Microneedling With Platelet Rich Plasma
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a cutting-edge form of hair restoration treatment. Effective, non-invasive, and straightforward, PRP treatments work like this:
When you arrive for your treatment, the provider will draw a bit of your blood and spin it in a centrifuge to get an autologous concentration of your own platelets. These platelets contain stem cells that will stimulate hair follicles. This, in turn, promotes the growth of new hair and blood vessels.
Once this plasma is isolated, the dermatologist will use a microneedling machine to inject the concentrations of the patient’s own platelets into the affected area. Once in the scalp, the platelets activate and kick off the body’s natural healing process.
Why Opt for Hair Restoration Treatments?
When faced with hair loss, some people turn to makeup, hairstyles, hats, or scarves to mask the hair loss. Unfortunately, these aren’t permanent treatments, and they can take a great deal of time, money, and effort to maintain.
Luckily, there’s a better way: hair restoration treatments. Here are a few benefits of undergoing these treatments:
Modern treatments are fairly noninvasive. Hair transplants and other outdated treatments can be complicated and painful. With PRP treatments, like we offer here at Laser Cosmetic Center, you can get in-office treatments without extensive procedures or a long recovery process. PRP is injected just under the skin with a very small needle with cold air used to minimize any discomfort.
Natural results. After a PRP treatment, hair growth looks natural. The treatment does not cause any noticeable side effects, like bruising or scarring. The result is natural hair growth that looks and feels like your own. There can be slight bruising at the injection site, but it’s in the hair line and not noticeable.
Convenience. PRP therapy requires zero downtime and no incisions. It’s relatively pain-free, convenient, and simple, and you won’t need to take time off for recovery. Treatments take about 45 minutes, and you can go back to your everyday life right away after treatment.
Long-lasting results*. Microneedling with PRP produces natural-looking, long-lasting results. As your natural hair grows back full and thick, you can feel confident and regain your self-esteem. *It is important to note - for best results; PRP treatment requires multiple sessions over a 6-9 month duration, usually 4-6 treatments every 4-6 weeks.
As you can see, PRP treatment is a great way to restore your natural hair without invasive, painful procedures.
How We Keep You Comfortable During PRP
Microneedling with PRP is a relatively painless process. Still, we want to ensure your total comfort. To do this, we offer epidermal skin numbing via an Astanza Zimmer Cryo 6 Cold Air Machine.
This machine directs freezing air deep into the skin, where the treatment is taking place. This cutting-edge procedure mitigates any discomfort or pain associated with the laser and mitigates the risk of thermal injuries during the treatment.
Apply ice packs at injection sites.
The result is a more comfortable process for you!
