Hair Restoration Q & A

What is hair restoration?

Hair restoration refers to treatments and dermatological services to boost your scalp health so you can increase your natural hair growth. Hair loss is common and can happen even at young ages, but it’s important to realize that plenty of options exist to restore your hair growth. 

Luminary Dermatology provides you with a personalized consultation where you can talk about your health and discuss your hair restoration options. The team specializes in several procedures and knows about hair loss products that might help fill out your scalp. While not every treatment is an option in every case, they work with you to find a suitable fit. 

What causes hair loss?

Hair loss of many kinds can affect both women and men. Androgenetic hair loss, which includes male- and female-pattern baldness, causes gradual hair loss due to genetics. However, not all hair loss is genetic, and it’s important to discuss it with a physician if it happens unexpectedly. 

Luminary Dermatology evaluates your hair loss to determine possible underlying causes, such as hormone imbalances and certain medications. Treatment for early hair loss is simpler than late-stage hair loss, so seeking an evaluation when you notice your hair is thinning may help you avoid surgical hair restoration procedures. 

How does hair restoration work?

Luminary Dermatology provides evidence-based treatments to address hair loss and help you grow a fuller head of hair. Based on your consultation, your dermatologist might recommend:

Hair loss medications and products

In the early stages of hair loss, noninvasive and nonsurgical products like hair loss medications and supplements can fortify the hair you have while preventing further hair loss. 

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) scalp injections

PRP injections increase blood flow and growth factors to support the health of your follicles. PRP injections are most effective for early- and middle-stage hair loss. 

Laser and light therapy

Laser and light technologies can stimulate blood flow into your scalp to support healthy hair growth. This treatment is nonsurgical and a step you might consider before hair transplant surgery. 

NeoGraft® follicular unit extraction (FUE)

NeoGraft is a minimally invasive follicle extraction and transplant procedure that relies on pneumonic pressure to extract the follicles without damaging and scarring the skin or damaging the graft. Your dermatologist removes healthy follicles from full parts of your scalp and implants them in thin or balding areas.
