Hair Restoration
Nonsurgical hair restoration combines collagen induction therapy with the power of PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or exosomes for long-term hair regrowth with little to no downtime. When PRP or exosomes are applied to areas of the scalp that have suffered thinning or baldness, they can jumpstart dormant follicles, stimulating them to produce hair. Barrett utilizes cutting-edge technology to maximize results using PRP and exosome treatments.
Is Hair Restoration right for you ?
Collagen induction therapy is an excellent solution for many patients wishing to restore a receding hairline, bald spots, thinning, or other hair loss due to various issues. This treatment is best for those in the early stages of hair loss, hair loss confined to smaller areas of the scalp, or hair loss caused by alopecia areata (an autoimmune disorder that causes bald spots). This treatment may be performed as a standalone procedure or after a hair transplant to enhance results.
Some hair loss, however, cannot be solved by stimulating the follicle. During your initial consultation, your injector will better understand your goals and complete an exam to determine whether this treatment is right for you.
How Does Hair Restoration Work?
Collagen Induction Therapy treatments use tiny needles to create small punctures in the skin. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, stimulates collagen production, and jumpstarts dormant hair follicles. When paired with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or exosomes, patients experience enhanced results, faster healing, and increased long-term collagen stimulation and hair growth.
PRP vs Exosomes
Exosomes used in facial treatments are sourced from regenerative cells containing a high concentration of growth factors, cytokines, and other bioactive molecules that promote tissue regeneration and stimulate long-lasting hair growth and collagen production. Exosomes are applied to the scalp in a liquid form and worked into the skin using collagen induction therapy.
After treatment
Patients typically experience redness and tenderness immediately following hair restoration treatment with microneedling. You are advised to avoid sun exposure for a specific amount of time after this treatment to avoid irritation. While patients will often see improvement after the first treatment, significant results begin to appear after 2-3 treatments, coinciding with the body’s natural production of collagen, and will continue to improve for 6-12 months.
FAQs
The number of treatments needed will vary depending on your hair loss and goals for restoration. Most patients are advised treatment sessions every 4-6 weeks, with visible results seen after 1-2 sessions.
