Hair Loss Treatment in Denver, CO
Sparse, thinning hair?
Hair loss can be a distressing issue for both men and women. Traditionally, we have treated hair loss with oral and/or topical medications. While still very valuable and effective, recent studies have also shown benefit from the use of injections in the scalp.
In Dr. Misch’s Denver, CO facial plastic surgery clinic, hair loss treatment starts by drawing a small amount of your own blood and spinning it down in a centrifuge to separate the stem cell and growth factor-rich portion of it. This portion is then injected into your scalp in the areas of thinning hair.
Who is a hair loss treatment candidate?
Anyone with sparse or thinning hair that is interested in restoring their hair to its prior fuller, thicker volume is a candidate!
Results from injections can take months to develop and may require multiple sessions, so patience is important.
What are the benefits of hair loss treatment?
Injections have been shown to be an effective treatment for hair loss in multiple studies. Improvements in hair density, hair thickness, and hair count were all noted.
A particular benefit to this treatment for hair loss is that we are using your body’s own cells to regenerate the hair. As a result, you are not susceptible to medication side effects, like one could experience with the other oral or topical medications used to treat hair loss.
What is hair loss treatment recovery like?
Recovery after injections for hair loss is minimal. You may have some mild scalp pain or swelling for a day or two.
You will not see improvements in your hair overnight. Often, multiple treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart are required for best results.
