Hair loss can be a distressing experience for both men and women. At Trikwan Aesthetics, we understand how much your hair contributes to your confidence and identity. Fortunately, modern medicine has provided us with advanced, non-surgical solutions to combat hair thinning and hair loss effectively. In this blog, we will guide you through the most effective treatments available, who can benefit from them, and how they work to rejuvenate your hair.
Who is the Ideal Candidate for Non-Surgical Hair Loss Treatments?
Generally, ideal candidates are individuals experiencing early to moderate hair thinning, rather than those with complete hair loss. Those suffering from androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness), traction alopecia, or hair thinning due to stress or hormonal changes may find these treatments highly beneficial. It is also crucial that patients have realistic expectations; non-surgical treatments can significantly improve hair density and quality, but they may not be as dramatic as surgical hair transplants.
The Causes of Hair Loss
Hair loss can stem from various causes, some of which are beyond our control. The most common cause is androgenetic alopecia, which is influenced by genetics and hormone fluctuations. Other factors include:
- Stress: Chronic stress disrupts the natural growth cycle of hair, leading to excessive shedding.
- Hormonal changes: Women may experience hair thinning during pregnancy, menopause, or due to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
- Nutritional deficiencies: A lack of vital nutrients like iron, vitamin D, and protein can lead to weakened hair follicles.
- Medical conditions: Illnesses such as thyroid disease or autoimmune conditions may also contribute to hair loss.
- Medications: Some medications, particularly those used for cancer, heart disease, or depression, may have hair thinning as a side effect.
Understanding the cause of your hair loss is essential in tailoring the best treatment plan for you.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections for Hair Loss
One of the most promising non-surgical treatments for hair loss is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. This treatment harnesses your body’s natural healing powers by using your own blood to stimulate hair growth. Here’s how it works:
A small amount of your blood is drawn and then spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other components. The PRP, which is rich in growth factors, is then injected into your scalp in areas experiencing thinning or hair loss. These growth factors work to rejuvenate hair follicles, extend the hair growth cycle, and improve blood supply to the scalp, promoting healthier and thicker hair over time.
PRP therapy is especially beneficial for those in the early stages of hair thinning. The treatment is minimally invasive and generally well-tolerated, with little to no downtime. You’ll typically need a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart to achieve optimal results. At Trikwan Aesthetics, we ensure each PRP session is tailored to your unique hair needs for maximum efficacy.
Hair Supplements for a Boost
In addition to in-clinic treatments, we often recommend hair supplements as part of a holistic approach to hair loss management. While supplements alone are not a cure, they can significantly boost hair health by providing the essential nutrients your scalp needs to maintain a healthy hair growth cycle.
Supplements containing biotin, zinc, vitamin D, and iron are commonly used to nourish the hair from within. These ingredients help strengthen hair, reduce shedding, and promote overall scalp health. If you have specific deficiencies contributing to your hair loss, a tailored supplement regime can be an effective addition to your treatment plan.
Viviscal for Hair Growth
At Trikwan Aesthetics, we often recommend Viviscal, a well-known hair supplement brand that has gained considerable attention for its efficacy. Viviscal supplements are scientifically formulated with a blend of key nutrients such as AminoMar C™, biotin, and zinc, all of which play an essential role in promoting hair thickness and strength. Viviscal works by nourishing the hair from the inside, targeting the follicles with the nutrients needed to support healthy growth.
What sets Viviscal apart is its unique marine protein complex, which is believed to extend the hair’s anagen (growth) phase, thereby allowing more hairs to remain in the growing stage for longer periods. Patients who take Viviscal regularly often report improved hair texture, volume, and reduced shedding.
Polynucleotides for Scalp Health
A more recent addition to the non-surgical hair restoration toolkit is the use of polynucleotides. Polynucleotides are naturally occurring molecules that can promote tissue regeneration and improve cell health. When applied to the scalp, they enhance the microenvironment of the hair follicles, promoting healthier growth. Polynucleotide injections can stimulate cell renewal and provide anti-inflammatory benefits, which may help improve scalp health and reduce the effects of hair thinning.
At Trikwan Aesthetics, we offer polynucleotide therapy as part of our comprehensive approach to hair loss. This treatment is particularly effective for those looking to improve scalp health and restore vitality to thinning hair.
Revitalise Your Hair
Non-surgical solutions for hair loss are now more advanced and accessible than ever. Whether you’re considering PRP injections, adding Viviscal to your daily routine, or exploring the potential of polynucleotides, there’s a treatment out there that can help you regain your confidence and revitalise your hair.
