Thick, luxurious hair is often a hallmark of youth, serving as both a feature of vitality and a personal statement of style. So, when hair begins to thin or the hairline starts to recede, it can affect not only appearance but also self-confidence.
The common medical term for hair loss is alopecia. It happens when the stages of hair growth are interrupted. Hair loss conditions can also be temporary or permanent. Genetics, androgens, male hormones, and age are the three factors that determine androgenetic alopecia hair loss in men and women.
Hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia)
Both men and women can be affected by hereditary hair loss. However, it’s more common in men.
Hair restoration is a medical procedure aimed at addressing hair loss and baldness. Dr. Edouard Coeugniet provide various techniques, such as hair transplant and non-surgical treatments, to stimulate hair growth and improve overall density. These methods typically utilize existing hair follicles or artificial implants to restore a natural and fuller appearance to the scalp.
What are the Benefits of Hair Restoration?
Modern approaches to hair restoration are considered much more advanced and effective than hair regrowth techniques of the past, giving men and women a wider range of options when it comes to combating their hair loss. Dr. Edouard Coeugniet offers surgical and non-surgical procedures at his plastic surgery clinic.
The main differences between surgical and non-surgical intervention include the level of invasiveness required by each treatment, the healing period after each procedure, and the quality of the final results.
Hair loss treatments can be surgical or non-surgical, and the best option for you depends on your circumstances:
Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that moves hair from one part of the scalp to another to treat hair loss. It's also known as hair restoration or hair replacement.
Hair Transplant
PRP contains growth factors that can potentially address thinning hair by stimulating follicle stem cells in areas with hair loss. PRP can also be used intraoperatively, during a hair transplant procedure, to expedite healing and further promote new hair growth.
PRP Therapy
Laser therapy (LLLT) is one of the latest treatments for hair restoration that uses low-power lasers or, in some cases, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to help stimulate hair growth. Laser therapy is a painless, non-invasive treatment that does not require an unreasonable commitment of a patient’s time. Low level laser technology has shown promising results when used to treat arthritis, joint disorders, hair loss, chronic pain, and many other ailments. Low-level lasers are now being used with great success by increasingly more hair loss patients, and they can also be used in conjunction with other hair loss treatments.
Laser TherapyDepending on the reason for the hair loss there is a chance that patients can be permanently alleviated from the issue, although there is no such thing as a hair loss cure for every case. Getting to the bottom of the cause is truly the most important factor when it comes to treating hair loss.
After a thorough examination by our dermatologists specializing in hair loss, there are actually an additional few lab tests that can get to the root of the issue. These can include but are not limited to routine bloodwork and a small scalp biopsy. The causes of hair loss differ for men and women, too; hair loss in women can involve postpartum hair loss due to hormonal changes, for example.
Treatment options can include but are not limited to certain medications both orally and topically, PRP injections and supplements. Our dermatologists will only steer you in the right direction!
PRP has been an amazing advancement in the medical world across multiple specialties; it is even commonly injected into the joints to reduce pain and inflammation. When injected into the scalp we are helping to heal any disorder or inflammation that can be causing the hair thinning or loss. The process of the treatment consists of our staff routinely drawing your blood and putting it into a centrifuge. This allows the blood to separate the “platelet-rich plasma” or the liquid gold as we call it. We then take the specialized cells and re-inject that back into your scalp. With help from numbing agents and laughing gas if needed this procedure is extremely fast and convenient. Most patients are only here for about 30 minutes. After the injections are completed, we have patients sit under our LED to further heal the scalp.
Although patients will see improvement after one treatment, we generally recommend PRP to be done in a series for best results. Each patients treatment plan will be determined during your initial consultation.
Getting a procedure is a tremendous personal investment. However, it is not a decision that should be made lightly or in a hurry. Rushing might influence you to choose the wrong shape or go too big, which may impair you from running, jumping, or performing certain physical activities with ease. Go too small, and you may feel underwhelmed with your new look.
