More than 50% of women will experience noticeable hair loss in their lifetime. While some women may consider hair transplant surgery, for others, surgery can be an overwhelming step. This is where non-surgical hair loss treatments come in. At the Physician’s Hair Institute, women have the opportunity to restore their beautiful locks without undergoing invasive procedures.
Rogaine (Minoxidil)
Rogaine is the only FDA-approved hair loss medication for women. It’s used as a topical solution applied directly to the scalp. It works by dilating the blood vessels that supply nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles, directly counteracting the follicle-shrinking effects of dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
This topical medication is very effective in preventing further hair loss and even regenerating dormant hair follicles. It’s available over-the-counter and does not require a prescription. However, it’s important to consult with Dr. Keene before starting this treatment to ensure it’s what you need.
PRP Treatment for Hair Loss
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment is another popular non-surgical option for women dealing with hair loss. It involves extracting a small amount of the patient’s blood and spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. This concentrated plasma contains powerful growth factors that stimulate hair follicles, promoting hair growth and improving hair thickness and density.
PRP treatment is quick and minimally invasive with zero downtime. Once you’re done with your treatment, that’s all. You can resume your daily activities immediately after the treatment so this is perfect for patients with a busy schedule.
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)
Scalp micropigmentation is a hair restoration technique that creates the illusion of a full head of hair by depositing tiny pigments into the scalp that mimic the appearance of hair follicles. Dr. Keene can use SMP to create more volume and density to thinning hair or conceal scars from hair transplant surgery or trauma.
While SMP is a more common procedure for men, it can also be used to treat hair loss in women. The best thing about SMP is that it offers natural and long-lasting results with very minimal maintenance. You’ll only have to visit Dr. Keene at least once every 1.5 – 3 years for periodic touch-ups.
