Hair Restoration
If a follicle has closed, disappeared, scarred, or not generated a new hair in years, then a new hair wouldn’t be able to grow,” Fusco says. But if the follicle is still intact, yes, it is possible to regrow the hair.
Generally, hair loss has been considered a male issue, but it’s becoming more of a concern for women also. Anyone experiencing thinning hair on the scalp is a good candidate for PRP Therapy for Hair Restoration. Researchers have been able to re-grow hair in balding patients with a series of injections known as Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP). Studies have noted that PRP has been found to have a positive effect on male and female pattern hair loss without major adverse side effects.
Male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) happens as hormone levels change over time. Finasteride is an FDA approved treatment for male pattern baldness. The American Hair Loss Association also recommends Finasteride as a first line treatment for men experiencing baldness. The way Finaseride works is by lowering Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels in the scalp. DHT is responsible for miniaturizing hair follicles, which eventually leads to baldness. Finasteride can reduce DHT by 60% which has proven in clinical trials to stop the progression of hair loss by 86% with men taking the Finasteride 1mg daily dose. Participants (65%) in the trial had substantial increase of hair growth. Contact our office or simply use our Telemedicine application to get your prescription of Finasteride today!
