How Does Hair Restoration Work?

Hair Restoration at Envy Beauty Lab + Laser in Calgary, Alberta. Non-surgical hair restoration techniques like Platelet-Rich Plasma (P R P) and Exosomes have revolutionized the field of hair rejuvenation, offering effective alternatives to invasive surgical procedures. Here's a brief look at how these treatments work: Platelet-Rich Plasma (P R P) Therapy involves drawing a small sample of your blood, which is then processed to extract a high concentration of platelets. These platelets are rich in growth factors, which are essential for tissue repair and regeneration. When injected into the scalp, the growth factors in P R P stimulate dormant hair follicles and promote hair growth. P R P essentially acts as a natural fertilizer for your hair, encouraging thicker and healthier growth without the need for surgery. Exosomes are tiny messenger molecules produced by mesenchymal stem cells, packed with growth factors and other materials that play a crucial role in cellular communication. When exosomes are injected into the scalp, they act as messengers, signaling hair follicles to regenerate and regrow hair. These tiny powerhouses not only trigger new hair growth but also contribute to the development of thicker, fuller hair. Exosomal therapy is a non-invasive approach that encourages your body's natural regenerative abilities without surgical intervention. Both P R P and Exosomes represent cutting-edge non-surgical methods for hair restoration, offering the promise of renewed hair growth without the downtime, scarring, or expense associated with surgical options. These treatments are becoming increasingly popular for their effectiveness and safety, helping individuals regain their confidence and youthful appearance without going under the knife. Both of these options are injected using our incredible Vital Injector device which makes the procedure more comfortable and ensures that each dose is injected to the correct depth. The older method of manual injections is more painful and less precise.

Hair Loss in Men

Unveiling the Mystery of Hair Loss in Men and Non-Surgical Solutions at Calgary's Go-To Hair Restoration clinic.

Have you been noticing more hair in your brush or on the shower floor? Or perhaps you've been watching your hairline slowly receding? If so, you're not alone. Hair loss is a common concern for many men, and it can have a significant impact on self-esteem and confidence. At Envy Medical Aesthetics here in Calgary, we explain why hair loss happens to men and how non-surgical options are helping thousands regain their hair without downtime or the high cost associated with surgical solutions.

Understanding Hair Loss

Hair loss in men is primarily attributed to a condition called male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia. This genetic predisposition leads to a sensitivity of hair follicles to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which causes the hair to gradually become finer and shorter until it stops growing altogether. Male pattern baldness typically follows a predictable pattern, starting with a receding hairline and thinning at the crown. However, there are other factors that can contribute to hair loss, including stress, poor nutrition, and certain medications.

The Success of Non-Surgical Solutions

For many men, the thought of invasive surgical procedures like hair transplants can be daunting. Thankfully, there are now non-surgical options that offer an effective and more accessible way to combat hair loss. Here's why they're gaining popularity:

No Downtime - Non-surgical treatments like topical solutions and injections offer little to no downtime. You can continue with your daily activities immediately after these treatments. This is especially appealing for those with busy lives or careers.

Cost-Effective - Surgical options can be expensive and often require multiple sessions. Non-surgical solutions are a more budget-friendly alternative, making them accessible to a broader range of men. You can achieve natural-looking results without breaking the bank.

Minimal to No Side Effects - Non-surgical options are generally safe with minimal to no side effects. They work by either stimulating hair follicles or preventing further hair loss. Surgical procedures can carry risks and longer recovery periods.

Non-Surgical Solutions for Hair Restoration

There are several non-surgical options available to combat hair loss in men here at Envy in Calgary:

Topical Solutions - These are typically applied directly to the scalp and can include FDA-approved medications like minoxidil. They work by promoting hair growth and strengthening existing hair.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (P R P) Therapy - This innovative treatment involves injecting a concentrated form of your blood platelets into the scalp, which stimulates hair follicles and encourages hair growth.

Exosomes - This restorative treatment uses both exfoliation and micro-infusions to create tiny pathways into the scalp. By doing so, it allows 2.5 billion exosomes, vitamins, coenzymes, growth factors, and hyaluronic acid to be absorbed into the scalp. This helps increase collagen production by SIX times! All of these elements combine to leave your scalp revitalized and hydrated creating the best environment to regrow hair. They are said to be 100 times more powerful than our own "P R P".

Hair Growth Shampoos and Supplements - Special shampoos and dietary supplements can help nourish the scalp and promote hair growth from within. Not all of these are created equally. We sell a specific brand at our clinic that we find to be the most effective. This is not a brand that you can purchase online or in drug stores.

Remember that results may vary from person to person, so it's essential to consult with one of our healthcare professional to determine the best non-surgical options for your specific needs.

Don't let hair loss impact your self-confidence any longer. Non-surgical hair restoration options are proving to be a cost-effective, convenient, and successful way for men to regain a fuller head of hair. Contact us today to explore your non-surgical hair restoration options and take the first step towards boosting your confidence and self-esteem.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What Are The Risks And Benefits Of Hair RESTORATION Treatments?

This is a fairly comfortable, non-surgical procedure that takes approximately 1 hour. Most patients notice a brief period of inflammation during which their scalp remains somewhat pink and numb for a few hours. Swelling is rare (about 15% of the time) and if it occurs is noticeable in the forehead or around the eye area on the next day. Any swelling takes about a day or two to resolve. Hair growth improvements can typically be measured in about three months, but it takes six to twelve months to visually “see” the difference in photos and in the mirror. Patients with certain blood disorders or on certain medications may not be candidates for these treatments. This is considered immunologically neutral and poses no risk of allergy, hypersensitivity or foreign-body reactions.

What Is The Treatment Schedule Like?

Experts suggest that 4 treatments are needed, spaced 4 weeks apart for each visit. Once you've had your first series of treatments, you should plan to have two treatments per year for maintenance.

Is There A Recovery Period Or Downtime After the Treatments?

Patients may wash (shampoo/condition) their hair 24 hours after their treatment. Some brief mild inflammation noticeable as redness/pinkness and numbness of the scalp may be present for several hours. No harsh chemical coloring or perming treatments should be performed for at least 2-4 weeks. Use of topical hair growth treatments like Minoxidil or similar can resume the next day after 24 hours.

Are exosomes safe?

Yes! Our medical team uses exosomes acquired from state-of-the-art Medical Labs that are rigorously tested and inspected. These are human derived exosomes from umbilical cords however, they DO NOT contain any human DNA. We’re happy to provide more detailed information during your consultation.
