The Latest Ways to Fight Hair Loss

It’s one of those frustrations in life — the aging process tends to strike hardest and earliest in areas that are on full display. A great example of this is thinning hair, which affects 85% of men by the age of 50 and half of women as they get older.

While aging is inevitable, we’re better equipped than ever to fight back thanks to some exciting technology and new science. The skilled team here at The MD Aesthetics has done extensive research and selected some of the best hair restoration treatments available. Let’s take a look.

Step 1 — assessing your hair loss

Instead of just blindly treating people, we're strong believers in thoroughly evaluating each patient first to gain an accurate understanding of the problem — hair loss — its underlying causes, and the extent of the loss we’re dealing with.

When you visit us for hair restoration, we often begin with a trichoscopy examination, which allows us to visualize your scalp and follicles up close. Through trichoscopy, we can identify the cause of your hair loss, which will guide us in recommending the most suitable treatments. 

And now we move on to some of our treatments.

Hydrafacial® Keravive for a healthy scalp and follicles

If you’re at all familiar with Hydrafacial, you know that this innovative, three-step facial promotes healthy skin that glows. We can also bring this innovative treatment to your scalp to encourage hair growth.

During a Hydrafacial Keravive treatment, we stimulate and open hair follicles using light suction and exfoliation. Next, we infuse your scalp with a Keravive peptide complex, which includes peptides and growth factors that promote hair growth.

Last, the Hydrafacial Keravive treatment also includes a daily peptide spray that will continue to encourage healthy hair growth.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for hair growth

The platelets in your body play a critical role in healing, as they release growth factors that activate regenerative resources. Almost every field of medicine is now using platelets to accomplish everything from helping tendons heal more quickly to regrowing hair.

To access your platelets, we draw a sample of your own blood and then use a special centrifuge to separate the platelets, creating a concentrate. We then mix this concentrate back in with your plasma and inject the platelets into your scalp.

After we introduce the PRP, it releases growth factors that encourage follicle health and hair regrowth.

Laser therapy for thinning hair

Another therapy that uses your own body’s considerable regenerative powers is our low-level laser therapy for hair loss. Using specific and gentle wavelengths of light, we can stimulate cells, enhance blood flow, and access regenerative resources —all of which are essential for healthy hair growth.

And the best part of laser therapy for hair loss — it’s completely noninvasive and pain-free.

As you can see, we have numerous options available for addressing hair loss. To figure out which hair restoration path is best for your goals, we invite you to contact The MD Aesthetics in El Dorado Hills, California, by phone or online today to schedule a consultation.
