When it comes to haircare finding the best products for hair growth can tricky, especially if you are tackling thinning or hair loss.
From vitamins and gummies to simple teas, there are so many different pills and potions on the market today, touted to be the best products for hair growth – but do any of them work?
If you are experiencing hair thinning, or hair loss we understand how frustrating it can be. The first thing we recommend is to seek the help of a professional who can identify the root cause of your issue and address any underlying medical conditions that could be impacting it.
One of the most common causes of hair loss is genetics, but it can also be attributed to age. Here are some of the things that could be affecting your hair growth:
• Medications (including Chemotherapy)
• Medical conditions
• Family history (heredity)
• Hormonal changes
• Natural aging
Excessive hair loss can unfortunately cause significant thinning, and even bald patches on the scalp which can be extremely debilitating and impact self-confidence. If this is the case, you may want to consider specific treatments.
Now, before looking at hair loss treatment it’s worth being mindful of your lifestyle, and daily habits that can damage your hair. Firstly, how do you style your hair?
If you often wear your hair in tight hairstyles or use excessive heat daily this could be causing breakage. Similarly, we recommend that you avoid using too many chemical colorants, or styling products on your hair, these can be very damaging.
When caring for your hair, try not to be too rigorous with it whilst it’s wet, incorporate a nourishing hair mask into your routine once per week, and look for specific products that contain nourishing ingredients, for example, almond oil, argan oil, and even Hyaluronic Acid.
If you are considering specific treatments to help with hair thinning and loss, then we recommend Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP).
PRP can sound a little daunting, but we promise you it’s not. It is non-surgical, is not considered to be painful, and requires no downtime. It involves extracting your blood (similar to a blood test), then separating the nutrient-rich platelets using a specially designed centrifuge – that spin rapidly to split the different components of the blood.
The platelets and key nutrients taken from your blood are then injected directly into your scalp to stimulate collagen production. In turn, this helps to prevent premature hair loss and hair thinning. Through careful follicle stimulation, PRP hair loss treatments can improve the appearance of hair fullness, thickness, and volume.
As it creates tiny microchannels in the scalp, PRP also allows us to combine specific skin booster treatments to further support the hair follicles and help support healthy hair growth. For this, we use our Fillmed Skin Booster which contains Hyaluronic Acid, and a complex blend of vitamins and minerals.
PRP hair loss treatment usually takes no longer than one hour to complete and requires minimal downtime. As the treatment uses nothing more than your own blood, there is also no risk of an allergic reaction, and it is known as of the safest procedures around.
For best results, you will need several treatments, spaced evenly which will be discussed with you during your initial consultation.
