Hair Restoration
Microneedling:
Microneedling involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the scalp’s skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, which can lead to:
- Increased Collagen Production: The healing response boosts collagen and elastin production, which can improve the health of the scalp and hair follicles.
- Improved Blood Flow: Microneedling increases blood circulation in the treated area, which can enhance the delivery of nutrients and growth factors to the hair follicles.
- Enhanced Absorption: It can improve the absorption of topical treatments applied during or after the procedure.
Exosomes:
Exosomes are tiny vesicles released by cells that contain proteins, lipids, and genetic material. They play a role in cell communication and can transfer beneficial molecules to other cells. In hair restoration, exosomes are used for their regenerative properties, including:
- Promoting Hair Follicle Health: Exosomes can help in rejuvenating hair follicles and promoting hair growth by delivering growth factors and signaling molecules.
- Reducing Inflammation: They may have anti-inflammatory effects that can help create a healthier environment for hair growth.
Combining Microneedling with Exosomes:
When microneedling is combined with exosomes, the process generally involves:
- Microneedling: The scalp is microneedle to create micro-injuries and enhance the absorption of subsequent treatments.
- Application of Exosomes: After microneedling, an exosome-based serum or solution is applied to the scalp. The micro-channels created by microneedling allow the exosomes to penetrate deeper into the skin and reach the hair follicles more effectively.
Hair Restoration
How FUE Works:
Consultation and Planning: Before the procedure, a consultation with a hair restoration specialist is essential. They will assess your hair loss pattern, discuss your goals, and plan the extraction and implantation process.
Preparation: On the day of the procedure, your scalp is cleaned and numbed with local anesthesia. The donor area is trimmed or shaved to facilitate extraction.
Extraction: Using a small, specialized instrument, individual follicular units (groups of 1-4 hairs) are extracted from the donor area. The extraction process is usually performed under magnification to ensure precision.
Grafting: The extracted follicles are then carefully implanted into the recipient area where hair is thinning. Tiny incisions are made to place the follicles, and their placement is designed to mimic natural hair growth patterns.
Recovery: Post-procedure, you may experience some swelling or redness, but recovery time is generally minimal. Most people can return to normal activities within a few days. Hair growth typically starts within a few months, with full results visible after 9-12 months.
Advantages of FUE:
- Minimally Invasive: FUE doesn’t require a large incision, which reduces scarring and recovery time.
- Natural Results: When performed by a skilled specialist, the results can be very natural-looking.
- Quick Recovery: Most people recover relatively quickly and can resume normal activities sooner compared to older techniques.
Benefits of the Combined Approach:
- Enhanced Hair Growth: The combination of microneedling and exosomes can potentially stimulate hair follicles more effectively than either treatment alone.
- Non-Surgical: This approach is non-invasive compared to surgical hair restoration methods.
- Minimal Downtime: Most people experience minimal downtime and can resume regular activities shortly after the procedure.
