Hair Loss & Thinning Awareness and Treatments

Understanding and Addressing Hair Loss and Thinning

As we dedicate August to Hair Loss Prevention Month, we aim to delve deeper into the topic of hair loss and thinning, a concern that many of our patients regularly bring up.

Understanding Hair Loss

Hair loss and thinning are common issues that affect both men and women for a variety of reasons. While genetics play a significant role, other factors can contribute to this condition:

• Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, menopause, and thyroid problems can cause hair thinning.

• Medical conditions: Conditions like alopecia, scalp infections, and other skin disorders.

• Medications: Treatments for cancer, arthritis, depression, and heart problems can have hair loss as a side effect.

• Stress: Physical or emotional stress can lead to temporary hair loss.

• Nutritional deficiencies: Lack of essential nutrients such as iron, protein, and vitamins can impact hair health.

Our patients often confide that discussing hair loss can be challenging due to the negative effects it has on confidence and self-esteem. At FĀC Aesthetics, we understand the sensitive nature of this topic and are committed to providing a safe space for our patients to explore their concerns and seek solutions.

Preventing Hair Loss and Thinning Naturally

While some factors contributing to hair loss are beyond our control, there are several lifestyle changes and habits that can help prevent hair thinning:

1. Healthy Diet: Incorporate foods rich in vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, and biotin. Foods such as leafy greens, nuts, eggs, and fish can promote healthy hair growth.

2. Regular Scalp Care: Maintain good hygiene by regularly washing your hair with a gentle shampoo and avoiding harsh chemicals.

3. Stress Management: Practice stress-reducing techniques such as yoga, meditation, or regular exercise to keep your stress levels in check.

4. Avoiding Excessive Heat: Limit the use of hair dryers, straighteners, and curling irons, as excessive heat can weaken hair strands.

5. Supplements: Consider taking supplements that support hair health, such as biotin, Vitamin D, and Omega-3 fatty acids.

Despite best efforts with these preventive measures, genetics can still play a crucial role in hair loss. If you find yourself concerned about persistent hair thinning, it may be time to explore professional treatments.

Advanced Solutions: Keralase and Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) hair loss treatments at FĀC Aesthetics

At FĀC Aesthetics, we offer advanced solutions to help restore hair growth and improve hair density. One such treatment is Keralase, a revolutionary approach to hair restoration.

What is Keralase?

Keralase is a non-invasive treatment designed to stimulate hair growth by combining laser technology with a specially formulated serum. The laser creates micro-channels in the scalp, allowing the serum to penetrate deeper and more effectively, promoting healthier and stronger hair growth.

How Keralase Works:

1. Laser Treatment: The laser creates tiny micro-channels in the scalp to enhance the absorption of the serum.

2. Application of Serum: A specially formulated serum, rich in growth factors and proteins, is applied to the scalp to nourish hair follicles and stimulate growth.

3. Follow-up Sessions: Keralase is not a one-time treatment. For optimal results, we recommend a series of treatments, typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart, depending on individual needs.

What is PRF?

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a cutting-edge regenerative therapy for hair loss that leverages your body’s natural healing processes. This advanced treatment uses a concentration of your own platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin to stimulate hair follicle rejuvenation and enhance hair density. As a next-generation solution in medical aesthetics, PRF offers a biologically optimized approach to hair restoration, capitalizing on your body’s inherent ability to repair and regenerate.

How PRF Works:

The PRF treatment begins with a quick and straightforward blood draw. Your blood is then processed in a high-speed centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, white blood cells, and fibrin. This potent blend is injected directly into targeted areas of the scalp where thinning or hair loss is present. The growth factors in PRF work to activate dormant hair follicles, boost blood circulation, and trigger the natural hair growth cycle. This regenerative therapy encourages revitalized hair growth, leading to thicker, healthier hair over time.

One of the standout features of PRF is its minimal downtime. Most patients experience only mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. You can usually resume your regular activities almost immediately, although it’s advisable to avoid intense physical activities and excessive sweating for a short period to optimize results. PRF’s non-invasive nature and swift recovery time make it an appealing choice for those seeking effective, low-impact hair restoration solutions.
