Hair Restoration

Hair loss is more common than most people realize. When it occurs for men, it typically begins in the mid to late 20s. Women are more likely to lose their hair in their 40s or 50s. It can be devastating to self-confidence and can potentially make a person seem older.

Hair loss can occur for a variety of reasons, almost all of which are out of your control.

Your hair growth cycle may be disrupted by:

  • Hormonal changes
  • Stress
  • Thyroid issues

  • Lack of sufficient iron or vitamin D
  • Malfunctioning immune system
  • Genetics

WHAT'S MICRONEEDLING HAIR RESTORATION?

 

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure in which tiny needles are inserted into the surface of your skin or scalp. These miniature needles are applied to your epidermis, helping to stimulate the renewal of skin cells, collagen, and elastin. 

When they’re used in the areas of thinning hair on your scalp, microneedles can create a gateway to your hair follicles for stimulation right at the root of hair strands.

These tiny topical injuries trigger the wound healing process. This prompts the release of hormones called growth factors, which stimulate new blood vessels to grow in the area (a process called neovascularization). These blood vessels carry more nutrients and oxygen and are believed to contribute to improved hair growth, especially when combined with other therapies such as stem cells. 

So, what kinds of hair loss can microneedling treat? Studies have shown that microneedling can treat androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness) and some cases of alopecia areata.

HOW DO MICRONEEDLING AND STEM CELLS WORK FOR HAIR LOSS?

When microneedling and stem cell therapy are combined, they encourage hair growth. The normal healing response to the needle pricks acts like an amplifier for the stem cells. The process of microneedling opens channels to your hair follicles, allowing direct access to begin invigorating and strengthening them.
