An up to date look at effective hair loss treatments
The most popular treatment today in Hair Restoration is FUE (follicular unit extraction). A minimally invasive method of extracting hair follicles from one site and re-positioning them in desired areas of hair growth. The treatment is performed without any scalpels and down-time is minimal. Results take about 9-12 months as the hair follices take root and begin to grow like your own hair.
Exosomes represent the newest generation of regenerative therapy for hair loss. Mesenchymal stem cells are produced in the lab and then formulated into a solution for injection similar to PRP. The exosome solution contains valuable lipids, messenger-RNA, micro-RNA, signaling cytokines, and proteins. The signals present are powerful growth factors utilized to stimulate hair growth after injection into desired regions in the scalp.
PRP therapy for hair loss is well known. The platelet-rich plasma is drawn up into a syringe and then injected into areas of the scalp that need increased hair growth. The actual source is you and the blood is drawn directly from your office prior to injection into the scalp.
Platelets contain healing growth factors, which are like signal callers that give instructions to your tissue to regenerate and multiply for thicker and fuller hair growth.
Your scalp will be treated with low level laser lights to stimulate hair follicles and induce growth. Laser light therapy can be done in conjunction with other treatments including hair transplant and PRP.
Nutrient deficiencies are one of the least discussed topics for hair loss. Hair thrives on protein, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, which support hair structure and growth and moisturize the scalp, among other functions. If you are not getting enough nutrients from your diet, supplements can help normalize your values.
