Hair loss takes many forms, and each requires a unique approach and we have hair restoration treatments ready to restore your healthy, vibrant hair. Among the most common types of hair loss are:
Androgenetic Alopecia: This hereditary condition, also called pattern baldness, affects both men and women. It typically presents as thinning hair on the crown and a receding hairline.
Alopecia Areata: Patchy hair loss associated with an autoimmune disorder. This condition may progress to total hair loss in severe cases.
Telogen Effluvium: Temporary hair shedding often triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes. It is characterized by a sudden thinning of hair across the entire scalp.
Traction Alopecia: Caused by repeated tension on hair follicles from tight hairstyles, hair loss is preventable with proper hair care practices.
Scarring Alopecia: Deficiency in hair follicles can lead to irreversible hair loss. Keeping the damage from getting worse requires prompt treatment.
Treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, derived from the patient’s own blood and rich in growth factors, and microneedling with donor growth factor serums aim to stimulate hair follicles, promote growth, and improve density.

Preventing hair loss requires a proactive approach to scalp and hair care. Consider these tips:
Eat foods rich in protein, iron, zinc, and vitamins to support hair growth.
Try yoga and meditation to reduce hair loss.
Opt for sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to avoid irritation and damage.
Limit heat styling and chemical treatments, and avoid tight hairstyles that can strain hair follicles.
Regularly cleanse your scalp to prevent buildup that can clog hair follicles and hinder growth.
Proper hydration ensures optimal hair and scalp health.
Wear hats or SPF products to shield your scalp from UV rays.
Each treatment option is customized based on the individual’s specific type and cause of hair loss.
Results from hair restoration treatments, such as PRP and microneedling, can typically be seen within 3 to 6 months. However, as hair grows in cycles, it may take up to a year for full results.
Treatments for hair restoration are generally minimally invasive and cause only mild discomfort. PRP and microneedling treatments may cause slight tenderness during the procedure, but any discomfort is usually manageable and temporary.
There are very few side effects, but mild redness, swelling, and sensitivity can occur at the treatment site. These symptoms typically subside within a few days. For more invasive treatments, your provider will provide aftercare instructions to minimize any risks.
There may be a need for a number of sessions depending on the type of treatment and the severity of the hair loss. Typically, PRP and microneedling may require 3 to 4 sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Your specialist will personalize your treatment plan based on your needs.
Combining treatments like PRP, microneedling, and Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) can enhance the results of hair restoration. These treatments work synergistically to stimulate hair follicles and promote healthier hair growth.
To maintain your hair restoration results, following a healthy diet, sticking to your treatment plan, managing stress, and maintaining proper scalp care are essential. Regular check-ups with your provider will also help track progress and adjust your plan if needed.
The success rate varies depending on the type of treatment and individual factors, but many patients experience noticeable improvement with consistent therapy.
While results depend on the treatment type, most patients begin to see changes within 3 to 6 months.
Most treatments, such as PRP and laser therapy, involve minimal discomfort and no downtime.
These treatments are effective for many types of hair loss but may require a tailored approach for specific conditions like scarring alopecia.
Maintenance sessions may be recommended, especially for chronic conditions or treatments like PRP and laser therapy.
