Hairstyles and treatments
When it comes to hair loss, one of the main goals of therapy is determining the root cause of the problem.
About 80% of men show signs of male pattern baldness by age 70 years. Approximately 80 million men and women in the United States alone suffer from hair loss and hair thinning. The most common hair loss type, known as androgenetic alopecia, is hereditary. If left untreated, hair loss usually progresses over time. We offer genetic testing that delivers invaluable information to support our practitioners in developing the optimal treatment plan for you. The most common cause of hair loss is linked to genetics.

PRP INJECTIONS
Although PRP injections are not a cure for the condition of hair loss, they can be effective in treating hair loss, preventing hair loss and promoting new hair growth. They are considered safe, effective, all without the use of steroids.
PRP injections have been shown to:
decrease hair shedding
stimulate new hair growth
increase the thickness of the hair follicle

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT WITH THE PRP PROCEDURE?
The full procedure takes about an hour. We will first draw a sample of your blood, spin it in a centrifuge, and separate the platelets and growth factors. We will then use the extracted PRP as a serum that we inject into the areas of concern. Most patients report minimal discomfort, if any, and return to work the next day.
We typically encourage treatments every 3-4 weeks for the first 3 treatments, followed by every 3-6 months or as deemed necessary by our medical staff.
PRP injections have been deemed simple, cost effective and feasible treatment options for androgenic alopecia, with high overall patient satisfaction.
