Hair Loss Solutions

Hair Restoration at Ageless Rx

Hair Loss can bring on strong negative emotions and lead to a lot of stress and anxiety. Unfortunately there are a lot of players in the space that take advantage of that and push non science based ineffective solutions that do not stop hair loss from getting worse or increase the number and thickness of your hair follicles. Most people do not notice their hair is thinning until they have lost at least 50% of their hair .

1st step: Objective Assessment of what is going on your hair? We use the GroTrac camera and computer software to objectively measure the quantity and thickness of your hair follicles in the different parts of your scalp. Crown, Vertex, Temples, and Occipital regions. We want to put a microscope camera on your scalp and assess what is going on at the follicular level(oily, dry, inflamed, healthy). We are going to examine the hair that falls out of your head to determine if it is just normal shedding or is something else going on?

Do you have scalp tension? Most hairloss in Men 80+% and Women 50% is Androgenic Alopecia or AGA for short. AGA is driven by scalp tension that restricts blood flow to the follicles and starts the miniaturization process that leads to thinning hair and baldness. Good news is it is very simple to get rid of yourself by massaging your own scalp and we will happily show you how to do it yourself for no fee as part of your initial consultation. Scalp tension can be driven by the shape of your head, stress, ponytails, hair extensions and many other things. It's very simple to fix yourself once you know what it feels like and how to do it. It can prevent your hair from getting worse and can lead to a 10-20% improvement in the number and thickness of your hair follicles.

Do you have Telogen Effluvium? Telogen Effluvium is abnormal shedding that can be brought on by a major stressor. Normally between 5% and 12% of your hair follicles are in a shed or telogen phase at any given time. This means that a normal healthy scalp should shed between 50 and 100 hairs everyday. 88+% of your hair follicles should be in a growth or androgen phase. Sometimes due to a stressor, way more than 12% can go into a shed phase. Poor diet, thyroid, hormones, lack of sleep, weight loss, grieving, childbirth and other life events can trigger abnormal shedding. Depending on the cause there are simple things we can do to mitigate the problem and get your hair back in a growth cycle.

Is it something more complicated? Maybe but probably not. Scalp tension and telogen effluvium are usually the problem in most people 80+%, but for some people it is more complicated and we always advise you on solutions based on your specific situation and goals.

2nd Step. Stop it from progressing. Whether it's scalp tension, Telogen Effluvium or something else we need to stop it from getting worse. The GrowTrac system will allow us to objectively measure your hair to make sure what we are doing is actually working.

3rd Step. Using scientifically proven treatments to grow more hair. This step is optional and may make sense for you, based on your goals

4 treatments proven to grow more hair

1. Alma TED Trans Epidermal Delivery or TED uses non-invasive ultrasound based technology to drive nutrient rich serums into the scalp. Treatments with the TED can increase the number and thickness of your follicles

2. Microneedling is an effective technique that triggers the production of collagen and stem cells promoting hair growth. It can increase the number and thickness of your follicles.

3. PRP Injections work by using the growth factors present in your own blood to increase the number and thickness of your follicles

4. Laser / LED treatments work by triggering a healing reaction and increasing blood flow to the scalp. Studies show they can increase the number of follicles on your scalp

Studies show that each of these treatments has about a 75% chance to increase in the number and or thickness of the follicles on your scalp. Not every treatment works on everyone and there are some patients that none of these treatments work for. Some studies show that using these treatments together can get even better results. Depending on what is going on with you, some, all or none of these treatments might make sense for you.

Types of Non-Surgical Hair Restoration

Hair loss can be complex and multifactorial. You want to assess accurately what is happening and what factors might contribute to your hair loss. Is it just age-related, or are other things contributing to your hair loss? What's going on with your follicles at the scalp level? What is going on in the different regions of the scalp, the forehead, crown, temples, and occipital regions? What can we do to increase the thickness and number of hair follicles? Are stress, nutrition, hormone, or thyroid levels contributing to your hair loss? We need to figure out what is happening with you and what options make sense to improve your hair.

Tricho Testing

Our process involves an assessment of the condition of your scalp and identification of any underlying medical conditions. We utilize micro cameras and specialized equipment, including a sebum and hydration meter, pH meter, and density meter, to conduct a comprehensive analysis of your hair and scalp system. Once we have gathered this information, we create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This data is stored for future comparison and analysis.

Alma TED (TransEpidermal Delivery)

This method uses revolutionary ultrasound technology and air pressure to increase blood flow and help penetrate the topical hair growth formula. As a result, more nutrients get to the follicle, stimulating them to produce thicker, healthier, fuller-looking hair in one treatment. A series of 3 or more one month apart is recommended for best results.

Minoxidil Response Testing

Before taking it, you want to test to see if it will even work for you. Minoxidil has many side effects; when you stop taking it, it will cause a shed cycle. This is because 60% of people are missing the required enzyme for Minoxidil to work. We can test to see if you have the enzyme needed and if Minoxidil will even work for you before you try it because once you start, you really shouldn't stop. After all, stopping will start a significant and noticeable shed cycle.

Microneedling

By enhancing blood circulation and promoting the growth of hair follicles, your scalp can experience a boost in thickness. Microneedling is an effective technique that triggers the production of collagen and stem cells, thereby promoting hair growth. Notably, this procedure is relatively inexpensive and minimally invasive, making it a preferred choice for both patients and medical professionals as an alternative to invasive plastic surgery.

PRP Hair Restoration

What is PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma? It is the growth factors isolated from a patient's own blood or plasma injected back into their scalp. The growth factors encourage tissue regeneration. If you inject those growth factors into the scalp, it encourages the body to grow more and thicker hair follicles. The procedure takes about an hour. An initial series of 3 done about a month apart is recommended for best results. Lots of patients use PRP once a year prophylactically to prevent hair loss.

Laser / LED Stimulation

Some Lasers have been proven in clinical trials to increase the number of hair follicles per centimeter. They are painless and non-invasive, and there is a range of options, from a laser that you get treated once every 90 days to a device you could wear every day for 15 minutes. Depending on your exact situation, lasers can be a great choice.

Scalp Treatments

Some patients have product or oil build-up, which causes follicle blockages and interferes with blood flow. Our special treatment can help reduce oil or any build upon the scalp contributing to hair loss.

Scalp Tension

Most hairloss in Men 80+% and Women 50% is Androgenic Alopecia or AGA for short. AGA is driven by scalp tension that restricts blood flow to the follicles and starts the miniaturization process that leads to thinning hair and baldness. Good news is it is very simple to get rid of yourself by massaging your own scalp and we will happily show you how to do it yourself for no fee as part of your initial consultation. Scalp tension can be driven by the shape of your head, stress, ponytails, hair extensions and many other things. It's very simple to fix yourself once you know what it feels like and how to do it. It can prevent your hair from getting worse and for some patients lead to a 10 to 20% improvement in the number and thickness of hair follicles..

Supplements

Poor eating habits and stress can contribute to hair loss. However, some supplements can really make a difference to your hair and help you feel better and general.
