PRP HAIR RESTORATION

WHAT IS PRP TREATMENT FOR HAIR LOSS AND REGROWTH??

Are you experiencing hair loss or noticeably hair thinning?  we encourage you to consider undergoing treatment with Platelet Rich Plasma at our dermatology clinic. PRP is a minimally invasive treatment that is capable of halting hair loss and stimulating hair regrowth. The treatment involves withdrawing a specific amount of your own blood, processing it so that the enriched cells (platelet-rich plasma) containing the essential proteins that stimulate natural hair growth only remain, and injecting it back into your scalp.

 How do you prepare?

7 days before the treatment you are advised to discontinue blood thinning agents such as vitamin E, vitamin A, Garlic, essential fatty acids, and any multivitamins, however, it is fine to continue iron and vitamin D. You are also advised to avoid any anti-inflammatory medications like aspirin, Iburprofen, Voltaren as we want inflammation to occur since this is one mechanism by which PRP works. Avoiding excessive sun or heat exposure at least one week prior to the treatment is crucial as well. 3 days before treatment please try to refrain from smoking as this might impact the healing process. Another important tip is increasing your intake of fluid the day before your procedure. On morning of your procedure please shower and wash your hair very thoroughly using your regular shampoo and do not apply sprays, gels, or any other styling products to your hair. Eat a healthy breakfast or lunch and drink a bottle of water at least 2 hours before your session.

What to expect during the application?

PRP therapy is a relatively simple procedure performed in our dermatology clinic, On the day of your treatment, a small sample of your blood is drawn, and then it is spun at a high rate of speed in a special centrifuge. This is done in order to separate and concentrate the rich platelets in your blood from other components. Your doctor then administers the concentrated PRP via a series of injections directly into the areas of your scalp where your hair is thinning.  The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to manage any discomfort.

 How long does a PRP hair treatment take?

The PRP treatment typically takes about 30 minutes

 Post treatment instructions:

Immediately following the PRP hair treatment, it is normal to experience bruising, redness, itching, swelling and/or soreness that may last from 2-5 days. Please do not wet your hair for at least 3 hours after your treatment and for the first 3 days, use a shampoo that is pH balanced.  Do not use any hair products for at least 6 hours after your treatment and be sure to take a hot shower and wash your hair that evening, to promote the effects of PRP.  Avoid hair coloring, and straightening for 3 days following the treatment.  To promote further effects please make sure to avoid caffeine and smoking for 3 days after treatment as smokers do not heal well and results may take longer. Continue increased water intake, avoiding blood thinning agents and anti-inflammatory medications at least one week after your treatment. Finally, avoiding vigorous exercise, sun and heat exposure for at least 2 days after your treatment is highly recommended as well.

 How many treatments are required?

The first round of treatments takes few visits to see initial results. After the results start to appear, you’ll just need to get touch-ups every 6-12 months to maintain new hair regrowth.

Expected results:

PRP hair treatment results aren’t immediate since the normal growth cycle for a new hair to grow from the follicle out of the skin is three months, so it will take even longer than that to see longer hair making a difference in your appearance. However, You’ll start noticing results between six to twelve months after your first treatment. These results include:

  1. Increase in the average number of follicles and hairs
  2. Improvements in the thickness of those hairs and the strength of the hair roots

Stem cells are now becoming the answer for hair loss in both men and women improving hair thickness and density no matter the cause of their baldness.

 How do you prepare?

One week before your injection you are advised to avoid any anti-inflammatory medicines like Aspirin, Motrin, Advil, Aleve or Naprosyn and any blood thinning medications such as Coumadin, Plavix, Xarelto, Pradaxa, Eliquis, Aggrenox since stem cells do not flourish in the presence of such medications. For that we recommend discontinuing the use of these medications 7 days before your procedure and continuing to stay off these medications 4 weeks after your procedure. There are no hard restrictions with food or drink before your procedure, however, one of the most crucial parts of preparing your body for stem cell therapy is to have healthy blood flow. So, you need to cut down your sugar intake and get into the habit of eating a light and protein-rich meal every day for the best results from the treatment. Staying active prior to the treatment is very important too since our human body is designed to increase the production of the stem cells when we are more active. Finally, although stem cell treatments are non-invasive in nature, it’s always advised to take enough rest before undergoing the treatment therefore a good night’s sleep is essential before your first stem cell session.

 What to expect during the application?

Just before the actual treatment, your doctor will clean and apply a local anesthetic to the affected area prior to injection, then small amounts of excess fat are extracted from your body using liposuction. Small cannulas are inserted beneath the skin through tiny incisions and stem cell-rich fat is harvested. These stem cells are concentrated and spun through a centrifuge to purify the sample. Your purified stem cells are then injected into the scalp and begins interacting with your existing hair follicles repairing them and stimulating hair growth. The mixture also activates existing stem cells found on your scalp for further thinning hair restoration. For optimum results stem cells can be combined with platelet rich plasma (PRP) found in your blood and the mixture is then injected.

How long does a stem cell hair treatment take?

Stem cell hair therapy typically takes 1-2 hours to complete.

  Post treatment instructions:

Your stem cells are very tender and delicate and need special care to grow and flourish. For that it is very important to stick firmly to the post treatment instructions. Immediately after the procedure it is important to remain lying down under observation for a few minutes up to 30 minutes. You might experience slight swelling, redness, and irritation around the donor area as well as the scalp, these side effects are quite normal and shall dissipate within few days. For the next 6-8 hours following the procedure you are advised to apply an ice pack for 10-15 minutes on the injected area every 2 hours. You should also continue avoiding anti-inflammatory and blood thinning medications for at least two weeks following the treatment (other pain medications, such as Tylenol are acceptable). Avoiding major physical activities for the same duration following the procedure is a key success factor too.

 How many treatments are required?

In most cases, one treatment is enough, but in certain cases between one and three treatments are recommended for maximum benefit over 4 to 6 weeks.

   Expected results:

After the cells are injected into the scalp, you can expect to see hair growth results after around 2 months, peaking in about 4-6 months. These results include:

  1. Regeneration in your natural hair follicles
  2. Extra density to areas of thinning hair
  3. Address your pattern baldness
  4. Extra natural-looking fullness to your hairline
  5. Achieve long-lasting hair restoration results

MESOTHERAPY

ITS TIME TO RESTOR YOUR SELF-ESTEEM!
WHAT IS MESO HAIR?

Hair loss and balding can be a very discouraging condition and sadly, it can lead to depression and low self-esteem issues reducing your quality of life. At Al-Mahmoud Medical Center we can help you out with our magical treatment MESO hair! MESO hair is one of the most effective hidden secrets in non-surgical treatments for hair restoration. The technology at the root of the treatment is based on understanding that most hair loss problems are a result of lack of proper nutrients, reduced blood circulation to the scalp, and hormone imbalances (DHT, in particular) around the hair follicle. So it makes use of injections containing liquid rich nutrients straight to your hair follicle in the scalp to make sure it is receiving the essential proteins, vitamins and nutrients that promotes scalp rejuvenation and hair regrowth.

How do you prepare?

There are not a lot of pre-treatment instructions to be followed before undergoing a Mesotherapy treatment for hair. However, as precautionary measure we may only advise you to avoid taking anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin a week before your treatment as these pain reliving medicines can elevate the risk of bruising and bleeding during the application.

What to expect during the application?

Upon arrival on your appointment your doctor will start first by cleaning the problem areas in your scalp then will administer topical anesthesia to keep you relaxed during the application. Afterwards your doctor will start injecting the Mesotherapy solution directly into your scalp using fine syringe.  The injected mixture contains several beneficial substances – minerals, vitamins, elastin, collagen, vasodilators and other beneficial elements that your doctor specifically tailored according to your unique requirements after a detailed analysis of your hair and scalp condition.

 How long does a Mesotherapy treatment take?

In general, MESO hair session lasts between 20 and 30 minutes.

 Post treatment instructions:

Once the Mesotherapy hair treatment is done, you might experience little bruising in the treated areas   which will normally resolve within 3 days. Your doctor will suggest you an enriching shampoo that nourishes your hair and strengthens it, however, please try to avoid washing your hair the first 24 hours post treatment. It is also important to take care of your hair and make sure it’s always clean. Moreover, you should incorporate a healthy diet into your lifestyle, cut off beverages and junk food completely and follow an exercise regime to ensure health and fitness that is directly related to your hair.

 How many treatments are required?

The frequency of mesotherapy sessions varies from 1 to 2 times per week and the duration of the hair treatment is initially 3 months. Then you can perform maintenance sessions every 15 or 30 days for another 3 months. It is important to maintain some gap between sessions to provide the scalp enough time to benefit properly

 Expected results?

Mesotherapy treatment restores hormone balance at a gradual pace, which enables the steady growth of new, healthy hair strands. So same like any other hair restoration treatment it will take from 2–3 months before Mesotherapy results are noticeable. The specific results you will end up seeing are:

  1. Noticeable increased growth along the hairline.
  2. Improvement in hair density.
  3. A healthier appearance and texture for your hair.
