There are three different forms of hair restoration: Medications like minoxidil can slow the progress of hair loss by applying a foam or cream to the thinning or balding areas. There are also prescription medications like Propecia (taken orally) that work to help you retain hair. These medications may be prescribed for patients who are experiencing a mild degree of hair loss, or can be used as a preventative measure to the slow progression of thinning and balding. PRP hair restoration is the method performed by Dr. Repta. It involves taking a sample of your blood and isolating the blood’s growth factors, which are then injected into the targeted zones on your scalp or face. The concentrated growth factors naturally present in your blood stimulate inactive hair follicles to start the growth phase once again. Hair transplants involve taking individual hair follicles from a donor site and placing them in the thinning or patchy areas of your skin. This can be repeated tens or hundreds of times in one treatment session depending on the size of the area and density of hair. These procedures are more invasive and may require harvesting a strip of healthy scalp from the back of the head, and limit the type of haircut you can have in the future.
