Our hair plays such a central role in not only the way people view us, but how we feel about our own appearance. People with thinning hair understand how challenging it can be to feel confident about their appearance.
In years past, hair restoration options were very limited. Many people found hair transplantation (hair plugs) to be incredibly artificial-looking as well as uncomfortable. Today, there are many better options to choose from, including scalp microneedling.
When you rely on the team at Cary Laser, Aesthetics, and Center for Hair Restoration, you can rest assured that you have access to the very latest hair restoration treatment options, performed by professionals like Vijaya Polavaram, MD, who have the experience and training needed to create safe and effective solutions for residents of Cary, North Carolina.
You might have heard of how microneedling treatments can improve a wide range of skin issues, including wrinkles, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, and dull skin. But did you know that microneedling is also an incredibly effective hair restoration treatment?
Microneedling works by creating tiny punctures into your skin. A treatment device covered in sterile needles moves over the surface of your scalp, creating miniscule channels into the deeper layers of your skin. While these punctures are not large enough to create true damage to your skin, they stimulate your body’s innate healing abilities.
Your body responds to microneedling by increasing circulation to the area. This renewed blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the treatment area. When used in hair restoration, this means the hair roots at the base of each hair follicle receive a serious boost and can begin producing new hair at an accelerated rate.
Microneedling also helps reduce inflammation, which is known to be a contributing factor to hair loss. Less swelling means less hair fall, or shedding. You’ll keep more of your natural hair at the same time as your body is developing new hair growth.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an exciting innovation that’s used in many different ways, including repairing damaged joints. PRP is created from a small sample of your own blood. When that blood is placed into a medical device called a centrifuge, it’s spun at a high rate of speed, causing the solid components to separate from the liquid.
This allows your practitioner to gather the platelets and reintroduce them into the cleared plasma. The result is a powerful solution rich in special proteins called growth factors. When PRP is injected into your scalp or spread across the area where microneedling is performed, it penetrates into the deeper layers of your skin to enhance the healing process and prompt new hair growth.
If thinning hair or visible patches of scalp are preventing you from feeling great about the way you look, hair restoration offers a wonderful treatment path. The process takes time to deliver results, but the wait is well worth it.
Most people achieve optimal results from a series of microneedling treatments spaced out over time. Over the following weeks and months, you’ll begin to see renewed hair growth. In time, your hair will be thicker and fuller than you imagined possible. In addition to microneedling, we also offer the very latest in hair transplantation.
