Hair Growth Treatment Options From a Medical Spa

While hair loss affects millions and can significantly impact self-esteem and overall well-being, hair growth treatments are available at our medical spa to help rejuvenate hair and restore confidence. These innovative techniques stimulate follicle growth, enhance hair density, and restore vitality. With a consultation, our team can determine which treatment will be the best option to meet your needs.

Understanding hair loss

Hair loss (alopecia) can affect any part of the body and be temporary or permanent. It can result from various factors, including:

• Genetic factors: Many people experience hair loss due to an inherited genetic trait from either parent, leading to conditions like androgenetic alopecia (male-pattern or female-pattern baldness)
• Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes from menopause, childbirth, or thyroid issues can cause hair loss
• Medical conditions: Alopecia areata, scalp infections, and trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder) can lead to significant hair loss
• Medical treatments: Chemotherapy and radiation treatment can cause temporary hair loss all over the body

Hair loss can appear in different ways, depending on its cause. It can occur suddenly or slowly, affecting only the patient's scalp or whole body. It may begin with gradual thinning on top of the patient's head at the hairline on the forehead (frontal fibrosing alopecia). Some people may lose hair in circular or patchy spots on their scalp, facial hair, or eyebrows; these spots may also cause the skin to become itchy or painful before the hair falls out. Sudden hair loss can cause handfuls of hair to come out when the patient is combing or washing their hair. This type of hair loss can indicate an underlying medical condition that requires immediate medical attention.

Psychological effects of hair loss

Hair loss does not only affect one's appearance. It can also significantly impact how one feels. Hair loss can make people feel less attractive and impact their self-confidence in personal and professional settings. It can also cause anxiety or depression, as the fear of social stigma or worsening hair loss can lead to feelings of worry, sadness, or loss of interest in one's favorite activities.

Hair growth treatment options from a medical spa

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy

PRP therapy is a popular hair growth treatment. This treatment method harnesses the healing power of platelets found in the patient's blood. During the procedure, the practitioner draws a small blood sample and spins it in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. This concentrated plasma contains natural growth factors that the practitioner injects into the area affected by hair loss to stimulate dormant hair follicles. PRP therapy helps promote cell regeneration and encourage new hair growth.

PRP therapy is a natural approach to hair growth treatment with minimal risk of side effects. This makes it an appealing option for patients wary of more invasive treatments like surgical hair transplants. Patients can typically return to their daily activities without any downtime. However, PRP therapy is not a cure, and patients will often need maintenance sessions every three to six months to sustain their results.

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT)

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to stimulate hair follicles. We use it to treat androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness). While there is no cure for genetic hair loss, LLLT can extend the life of the patient's hair and the health of their scalp.

The practitioner delivers the laser therapy to the affected area in an eight to 15-minute session. In some cases, the treatment can be administered through a portable cap that allows the patient to do the treatment in the comfort of their home. While treatment plans vary from patient to patient, most individuals will need to undergo LLLT at least five to ten times every two weeks. Most patients will begin to see the results after the fifth treatment session, with more visible results after three months.

Microneedling with growth factors

Microneedling with growth factors is a hair loss treatment designed to stimulate new hair growth on the scalp. When combined with PRP therapy or specialized serums, microneedling for hair loss can be an effective hair growth treatment option. This dual treatment can help with early symptoms of pattern hair loss.

During a microneedling session, tiny needles create micro-injuries on the scalp. This triggers the body's natural healing response and promotes the production of new collagen and elastin. Combining microneedling and growth factors can revitalize the scalp and promote hair growth. Over time, the patient may notice thicker, stronger hair and that they do not experience as much hair shedding.

Topical solutions and nutritional supplements

Healthy hair starts from within. Medical spas often offer a curated selection of nutritional counseling, supplements, and hair products. From biotin and keratin supplements to specialized shampoos and serums, incorporating these products into the patient's daily regimen can boost their hair restoration journey.

Medical spas offer specialized topical solutions and serums containing active ingredients like minoxidil, finasteride, and biotin. These FDA-approved products are applied directly to the patient's scalp and help strengthen hair follicles. This can prevent further hair loss and encourage regrowth. Using these products regularly under the guidance of the medical spa team can yield noticeable improvements.
