Hair loss is a common condition that affects both men and women.
In men, hair loss often presents as a receding hairline or baldness on the top of the head. This condition is referred to as male pattern baldness and is caused by a combination of genetics and hormones. In women, hair loss may present as thinning of the hair over the entire scalp, but it is typically not as extensive as in men. Women may experience hair loss due to various factors such as hormonal changes, stress, malnutrition, certain medical conditions, and medications.
Hair loss can have a significant impact on a person's self-esteem and quality of life. While there is no cure for hair loss, there are various treatments available such as medications, hair transplants, and wigs. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the cause of hair loss and the best course of treatment.
There are several options for treating hair thinning, including:
1. Medications: Minoxidil, finasteride and topical hormones medications that can help slow down or prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.
2. Hair Transplants: This surgical procedure involves removing hair from one area of the scalp and transplanting it to the thinning area.
3. Laser Therapy: Low-level laser therapy can improve hair density and thickness.
4. Scalp Micropigmentation: This cosmetic procedure involves tattooing the scalp to give the appearance of a fuller head of hair.
5. Wigs and Hairpieces: Wigs and hairpieces can be an option for people who want an immediate solution to hair thinning.
6. Scalp Exercises and Massages: Scalp exercises and massages can improve blood circulation, which can promote hair growth.
7. Micro-needling: to stimulate the scalp circulation
8. PRP in combination with Mesotherapy
PRP Treatment for Hair Restoration at Clinica Medica Glasgow
Are you looking for a solution to thinning hair or hair loss? At Clinica Medica Glasgow, Dr. Paulina MD offers Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment for hair restoration for both men and women. This minimally invasive procedure uses your own blood to stimulate hair growth, offering a safe and effective option for those looking to restore their hair.
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment?
PRP treatment is a type of regenerative medicine that utilizes the patient's own blood to promote healing and growth. A small sample of your blood is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors. These platelets contain important cytokines and growth factors that are responsible for promoting cell growth and healing.
How Does PRP Treatment Work for Hair Restoration?
Once the PRP has been processed, it is then injected into the scalp. The growth factors in the PRP stimulate hair follicles to grow and promote new hair growth. PRP treatment also helps to improve the thickness and quality of existing hair.
Who is a Good Candidate for PRP Treatment?
PRP treatment is a safe and effective option for those experiencing thinning hair or hair loss. The procedure is suitable for both men and women, and can be used to treat a variety of hair conditions, including androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness), alopecia areata, and telogen effluvium.
What to Expect During a PRP Treatment Session
PRP treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed in-office. During the procedure, a small sample of your blood will be drawn and processed to create the PRP. The PRP will then be injected into the scalp, taking approximately 30 minutes to complete. There is no downtime associated with PRP treatment, and you can return to your normal activities immediately after the procedure.
Results and Aftercare
Most patients notice improvement in their hair growth and thickness within 3 to 6 months after their first PRP treatment. It is recommended to have a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal results. To maintain your results, it is recommended to have maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months.
