Hair loss is a physiological process that happens throughout live.
A more pronounced hair loss can be triggered by hormonal changes, iron deficiency anemia, poor diet, stress, chemotherapy, weight loss. This type of hair loss is usually transitory and tends to resolve by addressing the underlying cause.
There is a permanent hair loss, usually caused by genetic factors. It’s very common in males but can occur in females as well. It manifests under the form of baldness or alopecia.
Alongside topical and oral treatments, ther are several medical aesthetic treatments such as:
Microneedling with or without PRP, it stimulates the production of new Collagen creating a controlled injury to the skin in the form of microchannels. This results in a younger, smoother, plumper and brighter looking skin. It can be used on its own or in combination with Platelets Rich Plasma (PRP) or growth factors serums.
Mesotherapy, it consists of multiple microinjections of a cocktail containing Vitamins, Amino Acids, Hyaluronic acid, Enzymes, Hormones and plant extracts, in the mesoderm, the mid layer of the skin. All these substances stimulate the fibroblasts production of Collagen, the substance responsible for skin rejuvenation and repair. This results in a younger, smoother, plumper and brighter looking skin.
Polynucleotides, which are a sequesnce of nucleotides that, once injected, target the fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin. By doing so they aid skin regeneration and tissue repair, they also increaseskinh hydration and hyaluronic acid synthesis.
Exosomes, which are extracellular vescicles. This treatment aids tissue regeneration, softening fine lines and wrinkles, tightening loose and aged skin, hydrating the skin, improving skin tone and texture.
LED Phototherapy, it’s a fantastic non-invasive treatment that uses therapeutic light energy to trigger the skin natural rejuvenation and repair processes. It’s completely painless and has no downtime. Our skin has the ability to absorb light energy and uses it to stimulate and regulate essential cell processes. After phototherapy skin cells can renew up to 200 % faster. The result is an amazing flawless, glowing skin.
These are all great treatment options for baldness, in both men and women. They all stop further hair loss and favour re growth of stronger, thicker hair , by targeting the hair follicle directly.
They are all great alternatives to hair transplant. They are more affordable and have less downtime and complications.
