What is hair restoration?
Hair restoration procedures aim to increase your natural hair growth in areas where you’re going bald or your hair is thinning. These procedures work by repairing hair follicles that are damaged or dormant and no longer growing hair. By increasing circulation and growth factors to these parts of your scalp, you can restore your natural hair growth.
During your initial consultation at Elate Aesthetics, Pain and Wellness, Dr. Hardie examines your hair loss pattern and reviews your medical history to determine its cause. If you’re a good candidate for hair restoration, she helps you compare both options to decide which hair restoration injections are right for you.
When should I consider hair restoration?
It’s not always possible to predict the results you’ll get from hair restoration treatments, but some types of hair loss tend to respond better than others. Androgenetic alopecia is a type of hair loss that can affect both men and women. It’s hereditary and happens naturally as you get older. This type of hair loss may respond well to hair restoration treatments.
Hair restoration may also be helpful for people with alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder, and other inflammatory hair loss types.
If you get hair transplant surgery, or follicular unit extraction (FUE), injectable hair restoration treatments may improve your results. However, you can also get hair restoration injections independently.
Which types of hair restoration can I get?
Elate Aesthetics, Pain and Wellness offers two different hair restoration treatments to increase your natural hair thickness and fullness. Both treatments involve needling or injecting a substance into your scalp to repair follicles and increase blood flow.
Dr. Hardie might recommend:
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hair restoration
PRP comes from a sample of your blood after extracting the red and white blood cells, leaving only the platelets and plasma. Platelets release growth factors for healing and tissue regeneration, which can repair hair follicles for many people with hair loss.
Biologic hair restoration
Biologic hair restoration uses placental growth factors and umbilical cord stem cells to repair follicles and increase natural hair growth.
