Hair loss treatment for women in Dallas describes a variety of surgical and non-surgical procedures. Hair loss has multiple causes with female-pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia being the most common. The doctor will recommend a treatment based on the cause of the hair loss and its severity.
What Is PRP with ECM Therapy?
PRP with ECM Therapy is a non-surgical treatment used to stimulate hair growth. Since the extra-cellular matrix is a substance taken from human placental tissue that promotes healing, the therapy can also be used on hair transplant patients to help their skin heal.
PRP stands for “platelet-rich plasma,” and platelets are a component of the blood, and they also stimulate healing. The doctor will combine the PRP with the ECM and inject the mixture into the patient’s scalp.
How Do Hair Growth Medications Work?
Hair growth medications can make thin hair thicker and they can prevent hair loss from getting worse. They only work on areas that still have some hair, however. Hair growth medications affect the hair roots, and totally bald areas no longer have hair roots.
What Is FUE?
FUE stands for “follicular unit extraction,” and it describes a minimally-invasive type of hair transplant surgery. After administering a local anesthetic and an oral sedative, the doctor will use an instrument resembling a hole-punch to remove hair follicles from the back of the patient’s head. The doctor will then transplant the follicles to the treatment site. They will often use PRP to stimulate healing and hair growth.
