Natural Remedies

Biotin

Biotin, also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H, is part of the complex B vitamins. It works in the body to convert certain nutrients into energy and plays an important role in the health of hair, skin, and nails.

Rosemary

Rosemary is an herb that has been traditionally used for a variety of purposes, including as a remedy for hair loss. It stimulates blood circulation to the scalp, inhibits DHT, and can protect hair folicles from damage caused by free radicals.

Pumpkin Seed Therapy

Pumpkin seed oil, derived from pumpkin seeds, has been studied for its potential role in treating hair loss. Pumpkin seed oil is nutrient rich, high in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and rich in fatty acids. It also inhibits the action of 5-alpha reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT.

Medication

Propecia pill

This is the brand name for finasteride when used to treat male pattern baldness. It's an oral medication that works by inhibiting the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is known to shrink hair follicles and contribute to male pattern hair loss. By blocking the formation of DHT, Propecia can help slow hair loss and potentially regrow hair.

Benefits

  • Reduces scalp and serum DHT levels.
  • Slows down the progression of male pattern hair loss.
  • May lead to regrowth of lost hair in some men.
  • Once-a-day oral pill makes it convenient to use.
  • May improve hair thickness and scalp coverage.

Minoxidil topical

This medication is applied topically to the scalp and is used to treat both male and female pattern hair loss. Minoxidil is a vasodilator, which means it widens blood vessels, potentially improving blood flow to hair follicles and stimulating hair growth. It is available over the counter in various strengths and is marketed under several brand names, including Rogaine.

Benefits

  • Can be used by both men and women.
  • Stimulates hair regrowth and slows balding.
  • Available in different strengths (2% and 5%) to suit individual needs.
  • Can produce results in a matter of months with consistent use.

PRP/PRF Hair Restoration

What is PRP/PRF Hair Restoration?

This is a simple remedy for hair thinning. Blood is drawn from the patient and separated by use of a centrifuge. The plasma portion of the blood has a high number of platelets. The activation of the concentrated platelets in platelet rich plasma releases growth factors that stimulate and increase the number of reparative cells your body produces. This significantly enhances the body’s natural healing process. The growth factor can stimulate hair follicles to become active with the result being healthier hair and increase density.

Benefits

Natural and Minimally Invasive

PRP/PRF treatments utilize the patient's own blood, which is processed to extract growth factors that stimulate hair regrowth. This makes the procedure more natural and minimally invasive compared to other treatments like hair transplants.

Faster Recovery Time

treatments are non-surgical procedures with minimal downtime. Patients can resume their normal activities quickly after treatment, unlike more invasive procedures such as hair transplants.

Fewer Side Effects than other procedures

Since PRP/PRF treatments use the patient's own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or infections is significantly reduced. This results in fewer side effects when compared to other hair restoration procedures.

Complements Other Treatments

PRP/PRF hair restoration can be used in conjunction with other treatments like hair transplants, medications, or topical treatments to enhance the overall results and promote faster healing.
