Hair Restoration

Bring your aging hairback to lifetoday.

Hair restoration injections are a new treatment option for hair loss in both women and men. The therapy uses the enriched cells from your own blood to stimulate hair growth in the scalp.

This therapy has also been a successful treatment modality in orthopedics, plastic surgery, and sports medicine. Our focus on hair restoration in a clinic setting helps us to provide a safe and comfortable solution for men and women experiencing hair loss.

How Does Injection Therapy Work

Injection therapy is a simple and near painless procedure which uses factors drawn from your own blood to treat hair loss.

Your blood has a variety of growth factors and substances with reparative and healing properties. The procedure puts a small quantity of your blood through a proprietary process to separate the growth factors, and creates a scalp injection meant to:

Recruit new hairs to grow
Invigorate and revitalize existing hair

The therapy is non-surgical, with little to no side effects or risk of allergic reaction. The injection delivers several different growth factors which stimulate the cells, collagen and blood vessels. The therapy is a well-tolerated procedure that usually has no impact on your medications or health conditions.

The direct injection delivers long-lasting results that you cannot achieve with creams or many other procedures. In cosmetic medicine, these injections are used to treat specific areas of the skin to promote collagen growth and restore tissue. In hair restoration therapy results have been very promising and offer an effective solution to hair growth and thickening for a majority of patients.

Benefits of Injection Therapy

Treatment stimulates cell growth in the injected area and aids the hair growth process, without the use of chemicals or foreign substances. It does not cause allergic reactions or infections, because the injected factors come from the patient’s own body.

Hair treatment benefits include:

Improved hair texture and thickness

Increase in hair volume

Healthier looking hair

The treatment has proven to be most effective for patients who are at the initial stage of hair loss.

Therefore, if you are noticing an overall loss of volume in your hair, are starting to develop a receding hairline or have noticed small bald spots on your scalp, contact us today.

Injection Therapy Procedure

Process

Your appointment will begin with a simple blood draw, just like a routine blood test. Your own blood will be used to prepare the injection.Our technicians use a state-of-the-art automated injector to treat the scalp with precision and at the proper depth, which is 3-4 mm. Injections are administered with accuracy and consistency by the automated injector.

Duration

The procedure lasts approximately 40 minutes. However, overall appointment duration will be a little over an hour for blood drawing and processing, as well as anesthetic application.

Sensation

Hair restoration injections are virtually painless and have few contraindications. Topical anesthetic can also be applied to the area where the injections will be done to reduce any discomfort.

Recovery

Following the treatment, most people will experience heat, redness and mild to moderate swelling in the treated area. However, this will only last a day or two. Cold compresses will help reduce discomfort and swelling. Bruising can also occur and may last several days.

Injection Therapy FAQ

Q : How long does the treatment take?

A : The treatment is not long. However, you should plan to stay at our clinic for about 1 hour. This includes time for collection and processing the blood, letting the anesthesia take effect, the injection and aftercare instructions.

Q : How soon will I see the results?

A : Results begin to show 3 to 4 months after starting treatment and generally continue to improve with time as the hair cycle progresses. The human hair cycle includes phases of growth (anagen), regression (catagen) and rest (telogen). During each anagen phase, follicles produce an entire hair shaft from tip to root. Treatment starts new cycles of growth.

Q : How many treatments do I need to complete?

A : The number of required treatments will depend on the patient’s condition and improvement goals. Four treatment sessions are generally recommended, spaced 4 weeks apart.

Q : Are the treatments safe?

A : Yes. Because the injection uses your own blood, there is minimal risk of allergic reaction and no possibility of a tainted blood product.

Q : Does the treatment hurt?

A : Our expert medical team uses precision anesthetic techniques allowing for a near painless solution to your hair loss. Most patients report minimal to no discomfort during the procedure. You will likely have minor swelling the day after your treatment.
