Thinning Hair? Here’s How a Hair Loss Dermatologist Can Help!

Everyone loses hair, especially as they age. However, extreme hair loss can be an embarrassing subject that affects both men and women. Hair loss can happen for any number of reasons: genetics, stress, disease or even medication. There are thousands of products, diets, etc. that claim to help with hair loss, but these often don’t work and can deliver disappointing results. If you’re tired of seeing your hair loss in the mirror every day, keep reading to see how a hair loss dermatologist could help!

What is PRP Therapy?

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a simple, three-step process that has been shown to treat hair loss in both men and women. This injection takes platelet rich plasma from your arm. Blood rich in platelets can help repair blood vessels that are damaged, which will help stimulate hair growth in the scalp.

PRP Process

When you first meet with Dr. Wooming, you will discuss your goals about your hair loss, and then you both will work together to decide if PRP therapy is right for you. PRP therapy is not for all types of hair loss, which is why it is important to meet with a hair loss dermatologist such as Dr. Wooming!

If you qualify for PRP therapy, you will meet with Dr. Wooming over the course of a few months and undergo the hair regrowth process. This is a non-surgical procedure, and begins by drawing blood from your arm. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge, which is a machine that spins the blood rapidly to get the highest concentration of platelets. Finally, a numbing solution is applied to the scalp and the blood is injected just underneath the scalp to stimulate hair growth.
