Hair loss can cause many people to feel less confident with poor self-esteem. Many resort to wearing hats or wigs to cover up their hair loss. However, it doesn’t have to be this way. There are many non-surgical hair loss solutions with quick recovery times and minimal symptoms.
Low Level Laser Therapy
Low level laser therapy is an effective and pain-free hair loss solution approved by the FDA. It is a home therapy that requires as little as 30 minutes per day for several months. A patient will use a laser comb, helmet, or headband which penetrates the scalp with low level lasers. These lasers then increase circulation in the hair follicles, promoting hair growth.
Platelet-Rich Plasma
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy also enhances blood circulation around the hair follicles. However, instead of using lasers, a patient uses PRP from their own blood. A vile of their blood is put into a centrifuge which separates it into three layers: red blood cells, platelet-poor plasma, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The PRP is then injected into the scalp every 4-6 weeks for roughly 4-6 months.
Medication
Finally, there are also some medications you can try either alone or with the above non-surgical solutions. In most cases, Minoxidil or Finasteride are prescribed to a patient. Minoxidil, also known as Rogaine, is applied directly to the scalp, opening up blood vessels and improving circulation. Finasteride is an oral medication that blocks dihydrotesterone, a hormone commonly associated with hair loss.
