At California Hair MD, we offer comprehensive treatments to address hair thinning or loss in both men and women. These therapies include Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP).
Non-Surgical Treatments
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has become one of the go-to treatments for hair loss, using concentrated blood cells to stimulate new growth. A small sample is drawn from each patient and then processed through a centrifuge to separate red blood cells from plasma, which contains growth factors to stimulate hair regrowth.
PRP therapy has been proven effective in many studies and is minimally invasive with few side effects. A physician will administer an injection of concentrated PRP into your scalp to encourage hair growth.
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) offers another non-surgical option for treating hair loss: red light wavelengths used during this procedure help activate hair follicles and encourage new growth.
Which non-surgical hair loss treatments work best for you depends on a number of personal factors. These could include your type of hair loss, causes, and medical history.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is the newest hair transplant technique that allows surgeons to extract individual healthy follicles from donor areas and implant them directly in recipients with hair loss or thinning issues. FUE can help treat many different forms of hair loss while restoring both volume and density of existing locks.
Procedure involves extracting individual hair follicles from the scalp and transplanting them to areas of baldness, producing an unnoticeable natural look with no linear scars remaining after treatment.
FUE stands out as being less invasive than traditional FUT strip surgery in terms of pain management, recovery time and time for healing.
Micropunching uses a tool similar to what your doctor might use in regular hair clippers to remove and style your locks, with either sharp or dull punches depending on their preference.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) is one of the most sought-after and effective hair restoration processes available today, taking just minutes to perform and yielding stunning results. It involves transplanting individual follicles from behind your head (where hair follicles have been genetically programmed to grow for life) into areas where you are losing hair or experiencing balding on your scalp.
Surgery typically lasts 3 to 6 hours and is performed under local anesthesia; occasionally patients may request oral anesthesia to assist in relaxing during their procedure.
After your transplant procedure, your head should be healed and free from scabs within 10 days. New hair should begin growing three months post-transplant and continue thickening over the following 10-15 months.
As FUT involves stripping away skin from your scalp, the procedure leaves behind an obvious scar at its surgical site – usually covered by hair but still visible if kept short.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
PRP injections offer an alternative to cortisone or surgery for treating musculoskeletal injuries and conditions, using your own concentrated platelets and growth factors from blood to promote bone formation and heal tissue.
PRP therapy has proven invaluable to athletes across various sports disciplines, helping to quickly heal various soft tissue injuries such as rotator cuff tears and Achilles tendon ruptures. Furthermore, it has proven useful in speeding healing time and decreasing discomfort from chronic tendon and ligament injuries.
Platelet-rich plasma injection is an increasingly popular cosmetic treatment option, particularly for facial rejuvenation and hair restoration procedures. When administered directly into the scalp, this plasma stimulates natural hair growth while simultaneously improving its appearance.
