Hair Growth Options

WHAT ARE MY HAIR GROWTH OPTIONS?

Premature balding is an issue that many men in Tennessee – and a few women – have to contend with. Some opt to make the most of the few follicles they have left, while others bite the bullet and ask their barbers to take it all off. There are a few products and procedures available that claim to restore volume in these instances. However, many of these treatments are widely viewed as ineffective – that is, until now.

HAIR RESTORATION METHODS

According to HealthDay News in 2013, researchers from prominent universities including Columbia and John Hopkins have made an impressive breakthrough in the science behind hair growth. This breakthrough could be a boon for men and women who want to restore their once lustrous locks.

“Surgical methods, mainly hair transplants, really just shuffle existing hair around from [the] back of the scalp to front of the scalp,” said Dr. Luis Garza of John Hopkins School of Medicine. “The main challenge is to grow a new hair follicle.”

The new approach pioneered by this research team focuses on taking hair follicles from other parts of the body and relocating them to the head. As a result, this technique could be applicable to more women who have yet to benefit from conventional hair transplants. As the source notes, the vast majority of females with hair loss concerns just don’t have enough transplantable hair to qualify for today’s treatment methods.

HAIR LOSS TREATMENTS

Time will tell if and when this new approach makes its way to the general public. Still, it is a positive development for anyone in Tennessee who is interested in enhancing their appearance. Although we don’t offer hair transplant procedures at the Lett Center, we do offer a variety of hair restoration options. Most of our hair restoration treatments at our Mt. Juliet and Lebanon offices are nonsurgical and some can even be done at home.

HAIR RESTORATION DEVICES

Theradome offers a safe and effective therapy that offers real results from the comfort of your home. See results with the Theradome® LH80 PRO in as soon as 4 weeks! The advanced technology of Theradome uses a red laser light that penetrates deep in the scalp and reaches hair follicle roots.

Stimulating your follicles with the right wavelength of red visible light will do these three things: slow or stop hair loss, thicken your existing hair follicles and help you regrow new hair.

PRP THERAPY TO REGENERATE HAIR GROWTH

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a quick and easy procedure that uses a patient’s own blood to stimulate hair regrowth. A provider will draw the blood and extract the platelets, which contain growth factors that stimulate hair growth and promote blood circulation. The provider then injects the platelet-rich plasma into the patient’s scalp where hair growth is desired.

PRP Therapy takes about 15-20 minutes with no downtime. Patients who pair PRP Therapy with supplements experience fantastic results.
