Hair Restoration
Medical therapy remains the foundation of hair loss treatments because it targets the underlying causes of hair loss, such as hormonal imbalances or nutrient deficiencies. Nutraceuticals and prescription medications like minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used to slow hair loss and stimulate hair regrowth by promoting a healthier hair follicle environment. The procedures that we offer re often used alongside these medications to enhance results. These procedures work in various ways to improving blood flow to the scalp, stimulating the follicles, and creating a better foundation for hair growth, helping the medication work more effectively. Together, they provide a comprehensive approach to managing hair loss. Hair restoration procedures are not a replacement for medical therapy. It is important to maintain the use of Nutraceuticals and prescription medications to ensure hair restoration procedures can achieve optimal results.

PLATELET-RICH FIBRIN MATRIX (PRFM)
Platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) is a regenerative therapy used in hair restoration procedures.
PRFM starts with the collection of a small sample of your blood. This blood is then processed to isolate the platelets. Platelets are tiny blood cells that play a crucial role in wound healing, and they contain growth factors, which help stimulate tissue repair and regeneration. The isolated platelets are combined with a fibrin matrix. Fibrin matrix serves as a scaffold that helps hold the platelets in place and promotes their release of growth factors over time. Once the PRFM is prepared, it is injected directly into the scalp; The growth factors released by the platelets help rejuvenate dormant hair follicles, increase blood flow to the scalp, and promote the growth phase of the hair cycle.
​
During the initial treatment phase, Most patients will receive 3-4 treatments over a 4-6 month period based on the severity of hair loss; followed by treatments 1-2 times yearly for maintenance. PRFM and PRP are most commonly used to restore hair growth and volume in patients with androgenic or male & female pattern hair loss.
RADIOFREQUENCY (RF) MICRONEEDLING
Sylfirm X radiofrequency (RF) microneedling can be combined topical and injectable regenerative therapies such as exosomes, PRP, and growth factors. RF microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing process. When applied to the scalp, RF microneedling can improve blood circulation, promote cell regeneration, and enhance the health of hair follicles. Sylfirm X radiofrequency (RF) microneedling can be used in multiple types of hair loss to improve the health of the scalp. Typically, RF microneedling is combined with topical regenerative solutions to boost outcomes.
​
Most patients will receive 4-6 treatments over a 4-6 month period based on the severity of hair loss. RF Microneedling is combined with PRFM, Pure PDGF or exosomes.
PURE PLATELET-DERIVED GROWTH FACTOR
Pure PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) is a product designed to help with skin healing and rejuvenation. PDGF is a type of protein in your body that plays a crucial role in tissue repair. It helps cells grow and multiply, especially cells involved in repairing damaged skin. These growth factors help to nourish hair follicles, stimulate hair growth, and improve the overall health of the scalp. Platelet-Derived Growth Factor can be introduced into the skin of scalp after microneedling or RF Microneedling or can be introduced via a fine needle. As with other regenerative therapies, a series of treatments are recommended.
Based on the severity and extent of hair loss, 2-6 treatments are typically performed over 4-12 months to achieve ideal results. PDGF can be combined with PRP or RF Microneedling on a case-to-case basis.

NANOFAT GRAFTING FOR HAIR RESTORATION
Nanofat hair restoration involves the use of a patient’s own processed fat cells that are placed by injection into the scalp to stimulate skin rejuvenation and help facilitate hair growth. Evidence suggests that fat grafts can be effective in stimulating hair growth when placed into the hair follicle, like the PRP hair restoration process. Candidates for nanofat hair restoration are those who experience hair thinning, a receding hairline, or balding due to aging or other factors and some forms of scarring hair loss. Nanofat hair restoration can be used with hair restoration techniques like PRP or hair transplantation.
​
Nanofat hair restoration begins by obtaining fat cells by liposuction. A small amount of fat (40 to 100cc) is harvested, typically on the abdomen, thighs, or hips. This is done under local anesthesia. The fat cells are then processed and purified and placed into a syringe. Small injections of the fat cells will then be placed in the scalp where thinning and balding have occurred. Processed fat cells release growth factors that increase stem cell activity within the hair follicle, Fat not only contains growth factors, but it also: reduces the concentration of androgens like testosterone in tissue, increases vascularity thus increasing blood flow, and lastly suppresses inflammation which can help prevent hair loss. This procedure is typically performed once though some patients may require 2 sessions over 6-12 months.
TARGETED MESOTHERAPY - INTRALESIONAL DUTASTERIDE
Intralesional dutasteride is a treatment approach used in hair restoration for individuals experiencing hair loss, particularly in cases of androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness). Dutasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, and it works by blocking the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a potent androgen hormone that can shrink hair follicles, leading to hair thinning and eventual hair loss in individuals genetically predisposed to androgenetic alopecia.
​
Intralesional dutasteride involves injecting medications directly into the affected area. This localized delivery method allows for a more targeted and potent effect on the hair follicles while minimizing systemic exposure to the medication.
​
Based on the severity and extent of hair loss, 2-4 treatments are typically performed over 4-12 months to achieve ideal results; followed by treatments 1-2 times yearly for maintenance. Intralesional Dutasteride is most commonly used to restore hair growth and volume in patients with androgenic or male & female pattern hair loss.
