Hair Regrowth for Women and Men

According to a research study done in 2014 on Statistic Brain more than 35 million men and 21 million women in the United States experience hair loss. The study also stated that 65% of males and 80% of females will have noticeably thinner hair by age 60. There are many over the counter treatments available but often times many experience minimal or short lived improvement. There are non surgical and surgical methods that are clinically shown to help improve volume for thinning hair and restore lost hair. Here at Ritacca Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa our hair restoration surgeon Dr. Kathleen Morno performs a variety of efficacious non surgical and surgical hair restoration treatments. She also helps her patients by evaluating what is causing their hair loss including nutrition. Below are a list of treatments offering hair regrowth for women and men we offer and how they work.

Hair Regrowth for Women and Men in North Chicago

 

PRP Injections for Hair Regrowth

Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, has been used for decades in orthopedics, dentistry cosmetic facial rejuvenation and now hair regrowth for women and men. Here at Ritacca Cosmetic Surgery & Medspa we have been using PRP for cosmetic rejuvenation for many years with great results, and now PRP is showing impressive results in reversing hair loss. PRP has great potential to stimulate the growth of hair follicles in androgenic alopecia in both men and women. The growth factors in the platelets stimulate the follicles to grow hair. PRP will not cause new hair follicles to grow where there were none before. During this non-surgical procedure, your own PRP is injected with a small needle into your scalp and the growth factors within your blood cells go to work and naturally stimulate the growth of your hair. This type of procedure works for hair regrowth for women and men and is an alternative medical procedure that helps take care of hair loss or hair thinning.

Capillus 272 Laser Treatment

The Capillus 272 laser treatment is a non-surgical hair regrowth for women and men. This treatment has helped patients stop losing their hair and they may be able to re-grow up to 20% of their hair volume. With 272 low level laser diodes, the Capillus272 has the most lasers of any hair loss therapy cap or helmet available. This means greater coverage spread across the entire scalp. This treatment can be done in office or the cap can purchased for at home use. The Capillus 272 laser cap is the only laser cap FDA cleared to treat female pattern baldness on the market.

Stem Cells Help Regrow Hair

For years, scientists had thought that people suffering from hair loss had a depletion of hair follicles and follicle stem cells, which are necessary to grow hair. So if researchers could identify the signals that stimulate the stem cells into producing more hair follicle progenitor cells, then it would be possible to generate bigger hair follicles that could grow hair. Based on research, autologous stem cells have been shown to regenerate hair.

Hair Restoration Surgery

Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE, is a safe, minimally invasive surgical treatment that extracts donor hair in a transplant procedure. Patients feel little to no pain afterwards for a simple recovery. This natural looking hair loss solution offers a quick recovery time, little or no discomfort, with permanent results.

Follicular Unit Transplant, or FUT, is a surgical procedure that is used when you need a lot of hair follicles at once. Using this technique, hair grafts are extracted and are then implanted into the balding areas. Both FUE and FUT are done under local anesthesia. The newly transplanted hair will start to grow approximately 10 weeks after the procedure. Around 6 months after the procedure, the hair should be long enough that it will require grooming and the hair should be fully grown one year after the procedure.
