About Hair Loss

If you are struggling with hair loss you are not alone, but that does not make it any easier to live with. Hair loss related to age and genetics affects approximately 80% of men and 50% of women. (1) The most common causes of hair loss include genetics, stress, and aging. Many people also lose hair from hormonal imbalances, vitamin deficiencies, trauma, or diseases with rigorous treatment methods such as cancer.

Why Is My Hair Thinning?

One of the most common types of hair loss is androgenetic alopecia. Commonly known as male or female pattern baldness, this condition involves a complex interplay of hormones and genetics. In this condition, hair follicles become sensitive to the effects of androgens, which are male hormones like testosterone. This sensitivity leads to a process called miniaturization, where the affected hair follicles gradually shrink in size. (2) As a result, the hair that grows from these follicles becomes thinner and shorter over time. Eventually, the affected follicles may stop producing hair altogether.

The hair growth cycle consists of three phases: anagen (growth phase), catagen (transitional phase), and telogen (resting phase). In androgenetic alopecia, the anagen phase becomes progressively shorter, while the telogen phase lengthens. This disrupts the normal hair growth cycle and results in a gradual decrease in hair density and thickness on the scalp.

Candidates for Non-Invasive Hair Restoration Treatments

Candidates for non-invasive hair growth treatments include individuals experiencing the following concerns:

  • Male or female pattern baldness
  • Thinning hair or reduced hair density
  • Early signs of hair loss
  • Postpartum hair shedding
  • Age-related hair thinning
  • Hair loss due to stress or medical conditions

Non-invasive hair treatments are most suitable for mild hair thinning. The ideal candidate should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and commit to the recommended treatment protocol. To determine your candidacy for non-invasive hair growth treatments, it is important to undergo a personal consultation at 17Medspa.

Personal Consultation

We will thoroughly evaluate your hair loss concerns and discuss your desired outcome during your personal consultation. We will review your medical history, conduct a scalp examination, and ask about any underlying conditions that may be contributing to your hair loss. This comprehensive evaluation helps us determine the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Fotona HAIRestart

Fotona HAIRestart is a laser treatment that stimulates new hair growth through cellular regeneration. If you are looking for a natural, noninvasive way to restore thinning hair, Fotona HAIRestart could be the solution. The treatment activates dormant follicles and improves blood flow to the scalp. The treatment can also help your body create new blood vessels (neoangiogenesis) and increase the scalp’s nutrient absorption. During a Fotona HAIRestart procedure, our team will use the laser to stimulate hair follicles and support hair growth. You may feel some slight warmth while the laser is applied because the heat stimulates the regenerative process. The laser treatment has the following benefits:

  • Reduces current hair loss
  • Prevents further hair loss
  • Increases hair thickness and density
  • Accelerates hair growth without medication
  • No downtime necessary

A laser hair treatment is one of the best ways to regenerate and restore your hair without medication. This popular solution only takes a 20-30 minute appointment for noticeable results. To learn more about how we can help you achieve your beauty goals, see our blog.

Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections

Hair Treatments, 17medspa, buena park, cupertino, fullerton

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections use the nutrients in your blood to help it produce more hair. The growth factor proteins in your blood help your body stimulate thicker, denser hair. During a PRP treatment, our team will draw your blood and purify it in a centrifuge to create a nutrient-rich serum. After a PRP treatment, you will notice thicker strands that grow closer together. The treatment does not require any recovery time, and you can resume your normal routine immediately after.

The benefits of a PRP injection hair treatment include the following:

  • Increased hair growth
  • Improved follicle strength
  • Generation new follicles
  • Speeds up hair growth
  • Supports scalp health

If you are seeking natural solutions to generate hair growth quickly and effectively, this is one of the best minimally invasive ways to achieve results.

Stem Cell Injections

Stem cell injections can help your body to regenerate hair follicles and regulate the hair growth cycle. Additionally, stem cells can release signaling molecules called growth factors, which promote cell proliferation, tissue repair, and blood vessel formation. These growth factors can enhance the microenvironment of the hair follicles, improving their function and supporting hair growth. Stem cells are a useful treatment for thinning hair because they harness the power of your body’s natural regenerative processes to restore your scalp.

LED Light Therapy

LED light therapy (photobiomodulation) is a popular treatment for stimulating hair growth because it does not require recovery time. In just a 30-minute appointment, we can apply the gentle non-invasive, and colored light to your hair to help stimulate hair growth. The LED light promotes tissue repair and regeneration for wound healing, increases hair density, and decreases hair shedding.

Hair Treatment Preparation & Aftercare

To prepare for a hair treatment, please wear comfortable clothing and wash your hair thoroughly the night before your appointment. Your aftercare routine will depend on the type of hair treatment you have, so we can discuss this with you at your appointment to ensure you maximize your results with the best aftercare methods. After your appointment, you may need to avoid washing your hair for several days to let the treatment take full effect. We can discuss the best aftercare methods during your appointment for the best results. Please come prepared to discuss your hair care routine and make adjustments to your hair styling methods as needed for the best results.
