Hair loss is a common problem in all parts of the world, affecting men and women alike. Women may begin to notice significant hair thinning in their 40s and 50s, whereas men first notice hair loss in their 20s, 30s, or 40s.
Before hair loss can be treated, it’s important to understand what is causing the problem:
- Genetics – Hereditary hair-loss is by far the most common cause of balding in men and women.
- Medical conditions
- Medications – numerous prescription and over-the-counter medications can cause hair loss. This list is extensive and includes blood thinners, birth control pills, and anabolic steroids.
- Hormones and stress – Women experiencing menopause, or anyone who experiences traumatic events like the death of a loved one, are susceptible to hair loss.
- Improper hair care – Shampooing too often, combing wet hair, or repetitive use of blow dryers and flat irons may cause or aggravate hair loss issues.
- Trauma
- Diet and poor nutrition – Vitamin A and iron deficiencies can cause hair loss, as can unhealthy weight loss or eating disorders.
At HEMAC, we are able to offer PRP and AnteAGE STEM for treatment at the clinic and also at home. Clinical data have shown better regrowth and increase in hair density when treatments are combined.
Who Can Benefit from Stem Cells and PRP?
Stem cell therapy and PRP therapy have been shown to be most effective for:
- Those in the early stages of hair loss
- Patients who are not viable candidates for surgery
- Women who prefer to avoid hair surgery
- Those who don’t have enough quality donor hair for a transplant
How Long Does It Take to See Results?
Hair regrowth from stem cell plus PRP therapy, like other hair restoration treatments, may take up to 6 months before you notice an improvement in hair density. But in time, the therapy will trigger your body’s natural healing processes, and you will see significant results.
