Nearly two-thirds of all men will have some degree of hair loss by age thirty-five. By fifty, the number jumps to eighty-five percent. And men are not the only victims of hair loss. Nearly half of hair loss patients are women. With statistics like that, you don’t need more information to understand why hair loss treatments are becoming more popular every day.
Unfortunately, with so many infomercials and online ads through social media, not every option is practical, much less medical grade. But the good news is that over the last decade, hair replacement technology has made enormous advancements to help balding patients achieve substantial, long-lasting results.
This article discusses which hair restoration treatment is best suited for individuals who want optimal hair restoration results.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
This state-of-the-art technology employs local anesthesia to extract small hair groupings from a donor area to transplant follicles into balding or thinning areas. The procedure is precise and leaves no scarring.
FUE Advantages
- Outpatient procedure
- Natural results
- No linear scarring
- Permanent results
- Little to no discomfort
- Recovery is quick
Strip Method
When transplanting several follicles at one time, the strip method is often the best technique. With this process, our surgeon extracts scalp tissue strips and grafts them into the problem areas.
Strip Method Advantages
- Small linear scar
- Uses patients’ hair for a natural look
- Local anesthesia
- Permanent results
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
To stimulate new collagen production, your provider injects Platelet Rich Plasma into the treatment site. This promotes hair growth in areas where aging or excess sun exposure has affected hair loss. PRP is not for patients with total baldness.
PRP Advantages
- Safe and Simple
- Minimal discomfort
- Short recovery
- Reliable results
Cappilus Laser Cap
This non-surgical approach to hair loss uses low-level light therapy to stop hair loss and restore up to twenty percent hair volume.
Cappilus Laser Cap Advantages
- Non-surgical treatment
- Convenient and straightforward at-home device
- No side effects
- It can be combined with other hair-loss treatments
Stem Cells Hair Regeneration
We use stem cells taken for the patient’s body fat to play a role in the hair follicle papilla repair and renewal.
Stem Cell Advantages
- Short intervention and recovery
- No side effects
- Minimal discomfort
- Quick results
- For men and women
- It can be combined with other treatments
