Not all varieties of hair loss require surgical solutions. Depending on the diagnosis, a variety of options exist. Or maybe for your type of hair loss, it is better to start with non-surgical options first and consider surgical treatments if hair loss persists as you age. Non-surgical hair loss solutions offer more tools so your specific type of hair loss can be addressed.
What Are Non-surgical Hair Loss Solutions?
Any non-invasive treatment falls into this category. From medications and low-level laser light treatments to wigs/hair systems and toupees, they run the gamut. The ones most familiar to most people are hair systems and topical medications such as Minoxidil.
Other non-surgical hair replacement options include laser therapy to stimulate blood flow to the scalp promoting hair growth as well as cutting-edge procedures like exosome and platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapies.
What Is a Non-surgical Alternative to Hair Transplant?
There are several FDA-approved treatments that can positively impact hair growth and impede further hair loss. The most commonly used non-surgical hair loss options are the medications minoxidil and finasteride.
Due to being an over-the-counter medication, Minoxidil is frequently the topical of choice. Finasteride, on the other hand, is a prescription medication which affects hormone production. Supplements, like Nutrafol, are an all-natural option for those who don’t want medications. Backed by clinical studies, Nutrafol targets multiple causes of thinning. We offer special in-office pricing, lower than either Amazon or the Nutrafol website.
At Lehigh Valley Hair Restoration, we offer the Capillus Spectrum MD low level laser therapy (LLLT) cap. LLLT or Photobiomodulation is a non-invasive therapy that uses wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity. Thanks to 320 diodes supplying a combination of 650nm red light and 808nm infrared to your scalp and hair follicles, you’ll see results in 3 to 6 months while only needing to wear the cap for 6 minutes a day.
Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles containing an array of proteins, nucleic acids, and other growth factors. Exosome treatments promote regeneration and healing.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a treatment that utilizes a concentrated form of platelets derived from the patient’s own blood to promote tissue repair and regeneration. The process involves drawing a small amount of blood from the patient, isolating the platelets through centrifugation, and then injecting the concentrated PRP into the targeted area. At Hair Restoration of Lehigh Valley, PRP treatments use FDA-Approved RegenPRP administered by Dr. Patel.
What Is the Best Non-surgical Hair Loss Treatment?
There are a number of clinically proven treatments available, and which one is the best depends on your individual diagnosis. The top non-surgical hair replacement procedures include Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), and low-level light therapy. The most effective medical alternatives include Minoxidil, Finasteride, and – according to some reports – saw palmetto. As with all hair restoration treatments, it may take several weeks to a few months to see tangible results.
