what's a good treatment for new hair growth I'm often asked by people experiencing genetic pattern
hair loss about what can be done to stimulate new hair growth or if there is a way to increase the
number of hair follicles so they can have better scalp coverage i'll discuss some basic concepts
about hair follicles and some of the strategies we use to help men and women with hair loss I'm
Dr Amiya Prasad I'm a Diplomate of the American Board of Cosmetic surgery and a Fellowship-trained
oculofacial plastic and reconstructive surgeon I've been in practice in New York City and
Long Island for over 25 years I've performed hair transplant surgery throughout my career
results from hair transplant surgery can sometimes be frustrating because of the way hair grafts heal
I used a wound healing material called extracellular matrix by ACell to improve
graft healing in transplant patients so more hair grafts would survive and grow
about a year later I discovered that native hair that wasn't transplanted had increased in number
and had grown in thicker this discovery inspired me to develop a non-surgical hair loss treatment
system using extracellular matrix by ACell with PRP as a standalone non-surgical treatment for
male and female pattern hair loss since 2011 TrichoStem Hair Regeneration has been the leading
treatment in its category with patients coming to us from around the world to our New York offices
the success of our system also led to our building a freestanding TrichoStem hair regeneration center
in northern Virginia as i stated earlier people with genetic pattern hair loss often ask how
they can get their hair back unfortunately genetic pattern hair loss is characterized by progressive
thinning of individual hairs until follicles stop producing hair in addition some hair follicles
appear to stop producing hair altogether and disappear so does this mean there's no hope
no as i mentioned earlier we have been able to help people manage their hair loss with TrichoStem
Hair Regeneration when your hair is thinning the hair growth cycles behave differently
than when your hair is not thinning for the sake of clarity
hair has two phases an active growing phase called anagen and a resting phase called telogen
when hair is thinning the percentage of hairs in the growing phase or antigen phase decreases and
the percentage of hair in the resting phase or telogen phase actually increases with TrichoStem
Hair Regeneration treatment we've observed an increase in the number of hairs on the scalp
which appears to be the result of reactivation of hairs which were in a prolonged resting phase
in addition we've observed individual strands of thinning hairs becoming thicker
our patients are often so excited and describe what they see in their before
and after photos as new hair growth i remind them that we are unable to create new hairs but rather
what we've done is reactivate the dormant hair follicles that just weren't growing further the
combination of both increasing numbers of actively growing hairs
with thickening of individual strands can result in significant improvement in scalp coverage
our treatment protocol is based on a system or algorithm factoring in the patient's gender age
age of onset of hair loss degree of hair loss and other medications taken for hair loss treatment
as well as other very important variables this is in contrast to the generic PRP or PRP with ACell
treatments being offered by medical retailers who require patients to come in every month to
three months for scalp injections regardless of the individual's unique hair loss profile
a typical TrichoStem Hair Regeneration treatment plan involves only two sessions about 18 months
apart since 2011 we've observed scalp coverage improve for three to five years and longer with
only one to two treatment sessions over 99 percent of our male and female pattern hair loss patients
see a significant increase in scalp coverage in summary people with genetic pattern hair loss
can potentially have better scalp coverage than they would have had without any treatment
the customized systems we have with TrichoStem Hair Regeneration
has helped people feel more confident about their appearance
since 2011. I hope you found this information helpful thank you for your question
