Roughly 100 hairs are lost from your head every day. The average scalp contains about 100,000 hairs. Each individual hair survives for an average of 4 years. Usually in its fifth year, the hair falls out and is replaced within six months by a new one.
There are some phenomenal treatments available for the treatment of thinning har and/or hair loss. Although many of these treatments work quite well on their own, we do recommend combination therapy and combining the various treatment modalities with topicals and home care in order to support and maintain treatment results.
Treatments that have yielded fantastic results for the treatment of thinning hair and hair loss include:
- Carboxytherapy
- Injected Mesotherapy
- PRP (platelet-rich plasma)
- PDT with Growth Factors
- Injectables such as Botox / Dysport for traction alopecia or hair loss where the culprit is tightness of the scalp.
Multiple treatments are required for the best results and maintaining the results achieved by these treatments is vital for long term success.
Skin Renewal Tip:
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) for hair loss is a successful treatment option where a small quantity of blood is taken from the patient, separating the growth factors and bioactive proteins in the blood (which initiate and speed up tissue repair and regeneration) and injecting this platelet rich plasma into the scalp, to encourage hair growth. A course 4-8 treatments is recommended as well as ongoing maintenance treatments every six months.
