Supportive treatments are non-surgical therapies designed to enhance the effectiveness of hair restoration procedures, improve scalp health, and promote hair growth. These treatments are often used in conjunction with hair transplantation techniques or as standalone options for individuals experiencing early-stage hair loss or thinning.
A natural method that uses the growth factors from your own blood to awaken hair follicles.
A small blood sample is taken from the patient's arm, similar to a standard blood test.
The blood is placed in a centrifuge, and the platelet-rich plasma is separated from other components.
The PRP is injected into the areas experiencing hair loss.
Most patients undergo 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results.
There may be mild discomfort during the injection, but most patients tolerate the procedure comfortably.
Stem cell therapy is an advanced treatment that utilizes the regenerative potential of stem cells to promote tissue repair and renewal. In the context of hair restoration, stem cell therapy may involve the following approaches.
The scalp is examined to determine if stem cell therapy is suitable.
Stem cells are collected from the patient's own body, typically using minimally invasive techniques.
The collected stem cells are processed and prepared to ensure the highest quality and concentration.
The stem cells are injected directly into the areas where hair growth is desired. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia.
After treatment, patients are given specific care instructions, such as avoiding excessive touching of the scalp and attending follow-up appointments.
The number of sessions required depends on the individual case, but typically 2-3 sessions are applied for optimal results.
Stem cell therapy is more effective for patients with early-stage and moderate hair loss. Its effectiveness is more limited in advanced hair loss or complete baldness.
As it is a minimally invasive procedure, the risk of stem cell therapy is low, but some patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, or sensitivity at the injection sites.
Results from stem cell therapy may begin to appear within a few months, as hair growth progresses slowly. Most patients start to see improvement within 3-6 months.
A technique that delivers vitamins and nutrients directly to the scalp.
The scalp is examined to determine the appropriate treatment mixture.
The nutrient mixture is injected into the superficial layer of the scalp using a fine needle.
It is recommended to be applied weekly in the first month, then every 2-4 weeks for maintenance.
Side effects are rare but may include mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site.
Saw palmetto extract is a natural supplement derived from the fruit of the saw palmetto plant. It is commonly used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and male pattern baldness.
Saw palmetto extract inhibits the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, which converts testosterone to DHT.
Saw palmetto may help reduce DHT levels, which damage hair follicles.
With reduced DHT levels, hair follicles can revitalize and hair can regrow.
The daily dosage is typically around 320 mg, but it is important to consult a specialist for the recommended dose.
Saw palmetto is generally considered safe, but some individuals may experience stomach discomfort or headaches.
A treatment involving breathing pure oxygen under high pressure, which can promote hair growth.
Patients are treated in a pressurized chamber where they breathe pure oxygen.
Oxygen aids in cellular repair in the body, enhances nourishment of hair roots, and promotes new hair growth.
HBOT typically lasts between 30-60 minutes, and the treatment may require several sessions.
HBOT is generally safe, but some patients may experience mild ear pain or dizziness during treatment.
