Non surgical hair replacement

18 Mar 2022

If you are searching for non surgical hair replacement or regrowth, which is best used for treating thinning hair and slowing or stopping the progression of hair loss, then we have good news for you!

Injections could be one of the treatment options for those who have hair loss, providing effective results with high success rate.

With this method, the patient’s own blood cells are used to stimulate hair growth. Blood cells have various growth factors and proteins which accelerate healing. These growth factors have the potential to stimulate tissue regeneration and hair growth.

While this might be a beneficial treatment plan, it is not suitable for every type of hair loss and is best seen on a case-to-case basis. Individuals who have hair thinning, are usually the ideal candidates but not always.

What is the procedure?

During the appointment, a small sample of blood (less than 20ml) is taken from the patient – as you were having your routine blood testing. The blood sample is placed in a centrifuge and a specific blood component is extracted. Then, it is injected into the areas that have hair loss with a very small needle.

Usually, there is no limitations to return to your activities after the treatment.

This technique can be combined with other treatments which also help with hair growth. Overall, patients will find an increase in hair counts, thickness, root strength, and a decrease in alopecia.
