Frequently Asked Questions
What is hair restoration?
Why do men and women lose hair?
How does regenerative medicine for hair loss work?
Our bodies produce a number of natural elements and tissues that collectively make up the “healing substances” our bodies use when we are injured, get sick, or wear out our joints and other body parts. These healing substances are naturally recruited when there’s major inflammation or overt damage in the body.
According to Harvard Health, “…PRP has garnered attention as a promising solution for one of the most challenging problems in dermatology: hair loss…. Platelets promote cell growth and regeneration. As the term ‘platelet-rich plasma’ suggests, platelets are generally about five times more concentrated in PRP than in regular blood. This concentration of platelets is useful, because platelets secrete growth factors than are thought to assist in wound healing and tissue regrowth.”
In a place like the scalp, where people suffer from chronic, long-term damage to hair follicles, or when people suffer from genetic-related hair loss, the body no longer engages the proper biologic process and regeneration mechanisms to heal the area.
Regenerative medicine leverages your own natural healing elements and reintroduces them to the area in question. That application triggers the body’s restoration and regeneration processes.
In the case of platelet-rich plasma*, these products are collected and processed into a concentrated solution that is then injected into the areas of the scalp where the thinning is occurring. Through this process, our professionals target damaged follicles, re-introducing the tissues needed to stimulate hair growth and allowing the healing particles to get to work on the repair. Studies, including a study out of the Mayo Clinic’s Florida Campus, show “platelet rich plasma found to be effective in regrowing hair.”
How do human tissue allografts help hair restoration?
What is the process?
The process varies depending on the suggested therapy. Regenerative medicine therapies will involve cleaning and using an anesthetic to prepare the area that will receive the application.
Studies have shown PRP may be a highly effective treatment for hair regrowth, but other therapies may be used in addition to or in place of PRP for stimulating the follicles and supporting hair regrowth.
