Hair Loss

It's normal to lose around 100 hairs from your scalp every day. The average scalp has approximately 100,000 hairs, with each hair typically surviving for about four years. In its fifth year, the hair falls out and is replaced by a new one within six months. Several highly effective treatments are available for thinning hair and hair loss. While many treatments work well independently, combination therapy—using various modalities, topical treatments, and home care—can significantly enhance and maintain results.
Losing Hair? We've got you!

Treatments for Thinning Hair and Hair Loss 

At Skin Renewal, our doctor-led approach is essential to achieve the desired hair thinning and loss results. Multiple treatments are often necessary for optimal results, and maintaining these results is crucial for long-term success. 

PRP is a successful treatment where a small amount of blood is taken from the patient. The growth factors and bioactive proteins are separated from the blood and injected into the scalp to encourage hair growth. A course of 4-8 treatments is recommended, followed by maintenance treatments every six months. 

Carboxytherapy for Hair Loss 

Carboxytherapy is a highly effective treatment for hair re-growth and combating hair loss, particularly for those with thinning, weak, or brittle hair. This innovative therapy improves circulation at the injection site, enhancing oxygen delivery and promoting angiogenesis, which nourishes hair follicles and stimulates hair growth. The process involves the injection of CO2, causing vasodilation and increased nutrient supply to the scalp. When combined with mesotherapy, Carboxytherapy offers a comprehensive solution for restoring hair health and achieving beautiful, robust hair.  

Specialty Hair Products to Enhance Clinical Treatments 

 

Speciality hair products can significantly enhance results when combined with clinical treatments. Lamelle Research Laboratories' Pelo Baum offers a comprehensive hair revitalising program that includes a Hair Revitalizing Solution, Shampoo, and Conditioner. This program can improve hair thickness and density from root to tip. 

MCCM Hair Cocktail is expertly designed to enhance the skin's microcirculation and strengthen hair, revitalising follicles for a healthier and more vibrant look. Consistent use significantly improves hair vitality and shine. This innovative formula provides targeted nourishment to the scalp, creating optimal hair growth and renewal conditions. Stimulating microcirculation ensures that hair follicles receive essential nutrients, resulting in stronger, shinier, and more resilient hair. 

Topical Treatments 

Causes of Hair Loss 

Hair loss is a gradual process in which hair follicles regenerate every 2-6 years. Over time, patches of baldness can connect to form a new hairline. Genetic hair loss refers to the body's inability to produce new hair. 

Factors Contributing to Hair Loss

By combining therapies and maintaining a comprehensive care routine, you can achieve and sustain healthy hair growth.  

frequently asked
questions

Are hair loss treatments available at Skin Renewal clinics?
What are the main causes of hair loss?

Hair loss can result from a variety of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, medications, nutritional deficiencies, stress, hair care practices, and ageing. Androgenetic alopecia, or pattern baldness, is the most common genetic cause, while hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, menopause, or due to DHT sensitivity also play significant roles.

Medical conditions like alopecia areata, thyroid disorders, and chronic illnesses, along with treatments like chemotherapy, can lead to hair loss. Nutritional deficiencies, especially in iron and vitamins, physical and emotional stress, over-styling, and poor hair care practices further contribute to the issue. Ageing naturally slows hair growth and leads to follicle shrinkage, resulting in thinning hair. Understanding these causes is key to effective treatment and management.

Can you recover from hair loss?

Recovery from hair loss depends on the cause and treatment. Genetic hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) can be managed with medications like minoxidil or hair transplant surgery, improving hair density. Hormonal imbalances, such as postpartum hair loss, usually resolve on their own or with treatment. Addressing medical conditions like thyroid disorders and alopecia areata or stopping medications causing hair loss can lead to regrowth.

Nutritional deficiencies corrected through diet and supplements often result in hair recovery. Managing stress and changing damaging hair care practices also promote regrowth. While age-related thinning is natural, treatments can slow hair loss and improve appearance. Consulting a healthcare professional is key for diagnosis and effective treatment.

I've been going to Skin Renewal in Parkhurst for many years and only have positive feedback. Total professionalism - from the moment you park your vehicle (welcomed by David), through to the ladies in reception (always greeting clients with a smile and warm hello) right through to the therapists. I've been treated by 3 therapists over the years and though they have different styles, each has a special touch to personalize the treatment and any specific requirements I may require. Very thorough ito products and not selling for the sake of selling but rather listen and understand before they recommend. And of course follow ups to check of you are happy with product. This place is a gem purely because of the people that work there.

The Dr was so friendly and explained what was happening to my skin and recommended treatment. 6 months down the line, I am so happy with my skin. Surita is a friendly human being. She has so much patience and makes the experience so pleasant even for the painful treatments!!!

Great service before and during the PRP hair treatment. The staff are really helpful in accommodating me on the dates and times that would work for me as I come from abroad. Once the staff also gave me an earlier appointment so I could catch my flight back. The doctor and therapists are very friendly and professional. Although the treatment is painful they do their best to minimise it by providing breaks and massaging the numbing solution effectively. Been for the treatment 4 times and have no complaints. Thanks Dr Nadira, Neo, Bianca and the rest of the Skin Renewal Waterfall team, the results just show how great a job you have done.
