Hair loss is a common condition that can affect both men and women. It occurs when hair follicles shrink over time, leading to thinner and shorter hair strands, or when hair follicles stop producing new hair altogether. Hair loss can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, medications, stress, and nutritional deficiencies.
- PRP or platelet rich plasma: A concentration of the patient's own platelets to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. PRP contains growth factors that can help improve blood circulation to the scalp, increase the thickness of hair follicles, and prolong the hair growth cycle. When injected into the scalp, PRP can help stimulate dormant hair follicles, promote new hair growth, and improve overall hair density.
- Hormonal Therapy: Some hair loss can be due to hormonal changes. If this is the case hormonal therapy is offered.
- Exosomes: Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles that play a crucial role in cell-to-cell communication. When used these can decrease inflammation and accelerate growth factors, leading to new hair growth in the follicles. Exosomes can be used several ways as its own treatment or in conjunction with other hair loss treatments.
