Hair Loss Treatments for Men and Women

Everyone looses hair each day but for many people, hair loss is a serious issue that is more than a few strands. For some, hair loss is a permanent problem in spots where hair once was. This is more commonly seen and known in men, however women can also see permanent hair loss. Finding a hair loss treatment that actually works and lasts can be a challenge.

The good news is there are a couple of options that really work for hair loss treatment. If you are a man or a women the problem of hair loss can be very frustrating however both a the treatments we are going to talk about here can work for you.

Actually, there are specific variations on the treatments that will work depending on your age and gender. This is why it is so important to talk with a doctor about your options to make sure they are targeted to your exact needs. You can spend money on products that might not actually be addressing your specific needs. If you have tried other products with little to no results, this could be a contributing factor.

The other problem we commonly see when people are trying hair loss treatments, is that they are not staying consistent for long enough periods of time. When you introduce a new product into your body, the body has an adjustment period. Taking something once will never give you that permanent solution because the body needs a prolonged influx of the ingredients to get them to really start working.

Think of it like drinking water every day. Your body takes it in and flushes out the extra, however the next day you still need more water. As a living being, we are constantly regrowing and revitalizing needing nutrients each day. Eating spinach once a month will not give you the health benefits and nutrients you need like having it a few times a week. The true bench mark for seeing the long lasting results is often 6 months to a year.

We do not want to sound like downers for hair loss treatments- you will start to see results sooner than that! To reach the maximum potential more than 2-3 months is required. A great way to see your hair loss treatment results is to take photos at each month that you can compare to. What might feel like not much happening will often surprise you when you see the photographic evidence! Plus people who have darker hair can see those results better than people with lighter colored hair.

Ok, so what are the hair loss treatments for men and women?

The first option that we really like is from Nutrafol.

Nutrafol is an award-winning oral supplement for hair loss. Nutafol improves hair growth with added stress balancing benefits. It is a 100% drug-free supplement for thinning hair with Synergen Complex® and DHT blockers. The swallowable capsules contain a mix of ingredients that work to address some of the key culprits that can trigger and exacerbate hair thinning and hair loss: stress, a hormone known as DHT, micro-inflammation, and poor nutrition.

Nutrafol uses high quality botanicals that are better able to be absorbed into the body that are dairy free, gluten free, hormone free, shellfish free, binder free, and artificial additive free. The Nutrafol website states:

“Our nutraceuticals are made with medical-grade botanical extracts standardized to clinically effective dosages for consistent potency and with bio-optimized ingredients for excellent absorption and results.

We source the highest quality ingredients from around the world supporting sustainable growers and responsible stewardship of natural resources. All products are third-party-tested for purity.”

What is even more important is that Nutrafol has specific products just for men and for women at the various stages of their life with their products Women, Postpartum, and Balance. Nutrafol Women multi-targets common root causes of thinning hair from within for stronger hair and less shedding.

Nutrafol Postpartum is made with nourishing ingredients for postpartum recovery from the stress and nutrient depletion caused by pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding to support thicker, stronger hair growth.

Women’s Balance reduces shedding and improves hair growth and visible thickness while easing your transition through the hormonal shift of peri- and postmenopause.

Nutrafol Men improves hair growth with visibly more thickness and scalp coverage. Target root causes of thinning like hormones, stress, and poor nutrition without compromising sexual performance. Medical-grade, natural ingredients that support your whole-body health.

One of our customers said “After taking Nutrafol for approximately three months, my hair was not only fuller but there was a shine back in my hair that I hadn’t seen in a long time.”

The second option for hair loss treatment that we offer is PRP Therapy.

Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, for hair restoration is an innovative therapy that involves your own blood by-product to stimulate new hair follicles to grow and improve hair condition, color and volume. This PRP treatment is used to accelerate healing of the scalp that helps restore hair growth.

Plasma is part of your blood that is made up of special proteins and water that let the platelets move through your bloodstream with ease. These platelets are super important as they allow the blood to clot and heal you with growth factors. The PRP is rich in these growth factors which stimulate the growth of both existing and new hair follicles to regrow new, healthy hair.

Although more research is needed to determine exactly why PRP works so well for hair loss, experts theorize that the same plasma cell proliferation that promotes wound healing can stimulate the hair follicles and improve circulation to the scalp, thus facilitating hair growth and pigment.

This PRP is injected at the area of concern on your scalp, thus giving that specific area a boost of your own natural healing and growth powers. Remember, this is not a foreign substance being put into your body, but rather your own platelet-rich plasma that was separated from your own blood! Therefore, there is no worry about putting something new into your body, although you may have some tenderness at the injection site initially after the treatment- just like the soreness at the site of pulling the blood from your arm.

Generally you do not want to wash the area for the following 48 hours, however you can typically return to your daily life with no problems. You should have something to eat prior to the treatment since blood is being drawn.

The whole process takes about 30-60mins in office per treatment. Most people who opt for PRP require three treatments about four to six weeks apart to see the full results they are looking for. Additional PRP therapy may be required for severe hair loss. To keep this amazing new look staying strong, follow up treatments may be recommended every 4-6 months.

PRP injections are only something you should get from a licensed doctor, like Dr. Perich. She can assist you in figuring out if this “home-grown” treatment is right for you! Patients on any blood thinners are not ideal clients as the blood is already under so much stress. Those who smoke are also not advised for this treatment. Healthy adults who are looking for a more natural way to improve their hair loss are fantastic candidates to consider this route!

Nowadays hair loss does not have to be permanent for men or women. We can work with you to determine how to best treat your specific needs. What is really cool is that you can actually combine both of these hair loss treatment options to really maximize not just your results but your overall health too.
