If you have thinning hair and are interested in options to treat it, Dr. Youn recommends starting with non-invasive treatments like the following:
Nutrafol Supplements – These All-in-One supplements are designed specifically for men, pre-menopausal women, or post-menopausal women and can help strengthen and thicken the hair from within. Check them out at Dr. Youn’s online store by clicking HERE.
Laser Helmet – Studies show using a LED laser helmet regularly can stimulate hair growth.
Minoxidil – This over-the-counter topical medication is scientifically proven to thicken hair. Dr. Youn recommends the foam as the easiest option. You can find one on Amazon.com by clicking HERE.
If these simple treatments aren’t effective enough to give you the result you’re looking for, then we recommend platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections by YPS. Our expert PA and nurses will isolate your PRP by drawing your blood, spinning it down with a centrifuge, and removing the plasma which is chock full of platelets and growth factors. This concentrate is then injected into areas of your scalp using the tiniest needle. The treatment uses your body's own natural growth factors to stimulate hair growth and thickening.
Studies are clear that PRP injections can increase hair density, strengthen follicles, and promote hair growth. We recommend a series of four sessions, each spaced about a month apart, and then a regular "booster" treatment every 6 months.
Most people start seeing results after 3 treatments, and because the treatment uses your own natural PRP, the risks are very minimal.
