Hair Restoration
HAIR RESTORATION WITH PLATELET RICH PLASMA
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a component of your blood. When a vial of blood is centrifuged, it separates into blood and plasma. The plasma contains a high concentration of platelets and growth factors, which your cells use to accelerate and promote the body’s natural healing and rejuvenating process.
PRP is a great option for men and women that are looking to restore hair growth. Overall, this procedure is safe with no side effects or allergic reactions since this is your own blood being used.
By injecting into the scalp, these cells promote:
-
Stimulation of hair follicles.
-
Increased hair growth.
-
Thicker healthier hair.
​
Allowing the weak hair follicles to become healthier and larger, producing more robust hair growth, this is a great option for those seeking nonsurgical hair restoration.
New hair growth can be seen as early as 2 months, but is typically evident between 5-8 months and will continue to improve up to a year after treatment.
What to expect during treatment?
-
The skin is cleaned and a topical local anesthetic is applied and left for 20-30 minutes.
-
Blood is then drawn and centrifuged and the plasma is aspirated into a few syringes.
-
The scalp is cleansed with an antiseptic solution.
-
The PRP is injected into the scalp with a fine needle at various points.
Total number of treatments will vary depending on hair condition and expectations. Minimum 3 treatments, 4-6 weeks apart is required. Once you are happy with the results, maintenace treatments can be done every 4-6 months.

-
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?The cost is $10/unit. The quantity of product used depends on the area treated and the strength of your muscles. Everyone is different, but as a rough guide, the entire forehead will use approximately be around 25-45 units.

FOTONA LASER TREATMENT FOR HAIR RESTORATION
Non-invasive Laser Stimulation for Hair Growth.
Fotona’s Laser hair growth stimulation is an effective method of treating hair loss disorders. This innovative solution is focused on stimulating dormant hair follicles to promote hair growth.
How it Works?
The method of action lies in the patented Fotona SMOOTH® pulses that gently deliver laser light to the tissue, triggering the scalp in a safe and controlled way. Fotona SMOOTH® operates at the optimal infrared Er:YAG laser wavelength that coincides with the maximal absorption in the skin.
​
The unique patented feature of Fotona SMOOTH® is the ability to act in a non-ablative manner, producing precisely engineered mild thermal pulses. This ensures that the laser light is delivered to the tissue gently and efficiently, heating the scalp in a safe and controlled pulsed way. The overall effect is a gentle heating of the skin and the production of growth factors, without any significant ablation of the epidermis.
