Hair loss can result from various factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, aging, and certain medical conditions. One of the most common causes is androgenetic alopecia or hereditary male-female pattern baldness.
Other contributors include thyroid issues, nutritional deficiencies, and autoimmune diseases like alopecia areata. Even lifestyle factors, such as prolonged stress or harsh hair treatments, can lead to temporary or permanent hair loss.
In Silver Spring, advanced hair restoration treatments are tailored to address these underlying causes. Non-invasive options target the scalp to stimulate dormant follicles and encourage natural regrowth. For those experiencing severe or widespread hair loss, minimally invasive surgical procedures like FUE can offer a more permanent solution.
You may be a candidate for FUE if you have large patches of thinning hair or bald spots. You might have tried nonsurgical methods, like topical medications, shampoos, PRP (platelet-rich plasma), or laser therapy. While these treatments may help slow or protect against hair loss, they may not be able to fix advanced baldness. FUE can be done on most hair conditions, colors, and textures. In your consultation, Dr. Berhane will assess your hair and scalp to determine if you have enough donor follicles to achieve your hair restoration goals.
Non-invasive treatments are an excellent starting point for those experiencing mild to moderate hair loss. These methods focus on improving scalp health and reactivating dormant hair follicles to promote natural regrowth. Popular options include the following:
This innovative treatment stimulates hair follicles using your body’s blood plasma, which is rich in growth factors. A small amount of blood is drawn, processed to concentrate the platelets, and injected into the scalp. PRP has been shown to improve hair density and thickness over time.
Laser devices emit light energy that enhances blood flow to the scalp, delivering nutrients to hair follicles and promoting healthy hair growth. For optimal results, this painless treatment is often performed in multiple sessions.
Specialized serums infused with vitamins, peptides, and other active ingredients are applied to the scalp to nourish hair follicles and create an environment conducive to growth.
Treatment with Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a highly effective, minimally invasive surgical option for those with more advanced hair loss. FUE involves the precise extraction of individual hair follicles from a donor area—typically the back or sides of the scalp—where hair is more resistant to thinning. These follicles are then meticulously transplanted to areas of thinning or baldness.
What sets FUE apart is its ability to provide natural-looking results with minimal scarring. Unlike traditional strip harvesting methods, FUE leaves behind tiny, almost imperceptible marks at the donor site. Patients appreciate the procedure’s long-lasting results and the ability to achieve a fuller, more youthful appearance. FUE particularly benefits individuals seeking a permanent solution to significant hair loss.
Recovery from hair restoration treatments depends on the method chosen. Most patients can return to their normal routines within a few days, although some mild swelling or redness in the treated areas may persist temporarily. Non-invasive treatments like PRP or laser therapy require no downtime, but multiple sessions are often needed to achieve the desired results.
Patients undergoing hair restoration in Silver Spring can expect to see gradual but noticeable improvements. Non-invasive therapies often lead to thicker, healthier hair over time, while FUE provides a more immediate transformation. Regardless of the approach, maintaining a healthy scalp and following post-treatment care guidelines are essential for preserving results.
After the process, you will be able to resume most normal tasks. Dr. Berhane will discuss your post-surgical instructions, including how to look after your hair and when to make follow-up appointments. You may have some redness or swelling in the donor and transplant sites for a couple of days. Small scabs around the transplanted follicles can usually be found for 7 – 10 days. Several weeks following the process, the transplanted follicles will transition to the resting phase of hair development. This usually lasts for 3 – 4 months as the hair sheds. This is normal and the transplanted follicles will move back in the growing stage as new hair sprouts. It should take approximately 12 – 18 months for your final outcome to be visible. By then, your hair will look thicker and fuller. To maintain your new hair, you might speak with Dr. Berhane about utilizing nonsurgical remedies, like PRP therapy and topical medications.
While hair loss is normal, it can cause stress and affect your self-confidence. Do not let hair loss hold you back.
