Hair Restoration Treatment Options

Hair restoration is a broad term that includes various methods for regrowing or replacing lost hair. Here are some common approaches:

1. Medications:

• Minoxidil: Over-the-counter topical treatment that can help stimulate hair growth.
• Finasteride: Prescription oral medication that can reduce hair loss by inhibiting the hormone responsible for hair thinning.

 

2. Hair Transplant Surgery:

• Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): Involves removing a strip of skin from the
  donor area and transplanting it to the thinning or balding area.
• Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): Individual hair follicles are extracted from the
  donor area and transplanted to the target area.

 

3. Platelet-Rich Plasma or Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRP/PRF) Therapy:

• Involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting it into the scalp to stimulate hair growth.

 

4. Laser Therapy:

• Uses low-level lasers to improve circulation and stimulate hair follicles.

 

5. Lifestyle and Dietary Changes:

• Sometimes hair loss can be managed or mitigated with changes in diet, stress management, and other lifestyle adjustments.

 

6. Natural and Alternative Treatments:

• Includes things like essential oils, herbal supplements, and other home remedies, though their effectiveness can vary and they might not have as much scientific backing.

 

The best approach for you depends on factors like the cause and extent of hair loss, your health, and your personal preferences. Consult with a provider at The Skin Clinic to help you determine the most suitable option.
