Losing hair can be quite terrifying! On a day to day many people can lose up to 100 hairs a day. One hundred is not as noticeable considering the size of each hair strand especially because hair is continuously growing. There are many causes as to how we lose hair.  Most cases are due to genetic predispositions, hormonal changes and medications.
Im sure you have heard of male and female pattern baldness. These type of hair loss are bound to occur due genetic predispositions! Yes! Family heredity can have a lot to do with it. Not cool, but it happens.
Another source to hair loss is hormonal change! It is known that hair loss due to hormonal imbalances can cause you to lose hair. Pregnancy and child birth are some of the causes of hormonal imbalances as well as thyroid problems.
Medications! Most people may not know but there are some medications that can cause some hair loss. Medications used for depression, cancer, hypertension, and heart problems are some! Vitamin A is another cause to hair loss. Intaking too much Vitamin A puts your hair at risk!  Even low levels of iron, thyroid, and low Vitamin D levels can cause hair loss.

What exactly is a PRP Treatment and how it can effectively treat hair loss!

If your looking for a non-surgical way to gain control of your hair loss then PRP is your answer!  Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) contains essential proteins that stimulate natural hair growth for the inactive or newly planted hair follicles into a active growth phase, also the growth factors assist in healing and tissue regeneration.
Here at the Paragon Plastic Surgery and Medspa, Dr. Mark A.Bishara provides a wonderful experience with our relaxing spa rooms where we perform a series of PRP Treatments. When starting your treatments, we began by drawling your blood for the centrifuge where it spins to separated the PRP from the blood. You will receive a ring block on the scalp to have minimal pain experience. The palette rich plasma is then injected back into the area of hair thinning. To get optimal results schedule your treatments 3-4 weeks apart!

As just the word “surgery” can be quite frightening, people forget that there are different types of treatments for hair loss. The Paragon Plastic Surgery and Med Spa has them for you!
 

Capillus Laser Cap

 
The capillus laser cap is the first FDA cleared laser cap that helps prevent hair loss. Although we know hair that has been lost will not regrow why not save what is left. The Capillus 272 helps men and women that suffer from androgenetic alopecia. It is designed with low level laser lights that have been proven to promote hair regrowth in both men in women according to capillus.com The cap is recommended to be used 30 minutes every other day. The Capillus laser caps are powered with a battery pack which makes it easier to use for people on the go. The caps can be used while running errands, at home cooking, or picking up the kids as it looks just like a regular ball cap.
 
 

Minoxidil

 
Minoxidil is a antihypertensive vasodilator medication used to slow down hair loss and in some cases help promote hair regrowth. Minoxidil is sold over the counter which makes it easier for people to access at their local store such as walmart, cvs, or walgreens. Minoxidil should be applied topically on the scalp. Both men and women suffering from androgenic alopecia can benefit from minoxidil. Minoxidil is the only topical product that is FDA approved to help with hair loss. The solution is formulated to include a 5% solution for men a 2% solution concentrated for women. Minoxidil must be used indefinitely for continued support and maintaining existing hair.
 

 

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Treatment


 
Our blood plasma is known to contain active growth factors that promote hair growth. So how is a PRP done?  Our own blood is drawn and placed in to a centrifuge where it spins for about 10 to 15 minutes so that only the enriched platelets remain. Once separated into a different syringe using a thin needle the PRP is injected in to the scalp and all areas that will be treated for hair loss. Local anesthetic is used to help with any discomfort. The treatment takes about an hr to and hr and a half and the results are safe and reliable.
 

Propcecia/Finasteride


 
Propecia/Finasteride is a one a day pill used to treat male pattern baldness and hair loss on the vertex and mid scalp. Propecia is made only for the use on men. Women should not use propecia as it can cause birth defects in a fetus. Six months into treatment is when men typically  see improvement.

Does PRP sound familiar? PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma has been around for quite some time. It is commonly used for joint rejuvenation, male enhancement and aesthetic procedures like face lifts.
What about hair loss? Hair loss can be caused by many factors in both men and women. Whether it is genetic or for medical reasons, no one likes the fact that they are losing hair. Now a days there are many options to help with hair loss. Some such as minoxidil or roGaine, laser therapy and even hair transplantation.
Did you know that now not only does PRP help with joints and aesthetic procedures, but now it is an option for hair loss as well. PRP is created from the patients own blood, it is placed in a centrifuge so that the plasma is separated. PRP stimulates the present hair to produce longer and stronger strands of hair.  Local anesthetic is used to help minimize any pain and discomfort. The PRP is then injected to the areas that Dr. Bishara has recommended to be treated.
One of the good things about this treatment is there is no down time, you can resume regular activities the moment you leave our office. Some swelling may occur but it is not very common. PRP is a great option if surgery to preserve your existing hair and to support hair transplantation. A consultation with Dr. Mark A Bishara is all it takes to get started with hair loss prevention.
