Why See a Dermatologist for Hair Loss?
✔ Accurate Diagnosis – Through scalp examination, medical history review, and diagnostic tests (e.g., blood work, scalp biopsy), dermatologists identify the root cause of hair thinning.
✔ Personalized Treatment Plans – Based on the diagnosis, they recommend customized treatment options, such as medications (minoxidil, finasteride), PRP/PRF therapy, laser therapy, or hair transplants.
✔ Expert Guidance – Dermatologists help manage conditions like alopecia areata, androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium, and scalp infections, ensuring the right approach to prevent further loss.
✔ Safe & Effective Solutions – They distinguish between evidence-based treatments and ineffective or harmful options, preventing unnecessary risks.
✔ Long-Term Hair & Scalp Health – With regular follow-ups, dermatologists monitor progress, adjust treatments, and provide preventative care to maintain hair health.
A dermatologist’s expertise is essential in navigating the complex causes of hair loss and creating a targeted, science-backed treatment plan for optimal hair restoration. If you’re experiencing thinning, excessive shedding, or bald patches, consulting a dermatologist early can improve outcomes and preserve your hair health.
PRF
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) for Hair Growth is an advanced regenerative treatment that stimulates natural hair growth by using your own blood’s healing properties. It’s an upgraded version of PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) but with a higher concentration of growth factors, stem cells, and fibrin for enhanced results.
How PRF Works for Hair Restoration
- Blood Draw: A small sample of your blood is taken.
- Centrifugation: The blood is spun at a lower speed than PRP, preserving more white blood cells, stem cells, and platelets.
- Injection into the Scalp: The PRF is injected into thinning or receding areas to stimulate dormant hair follicles.
Benefits of PRF for Hair:
✅ Enhances Hair Growth – Stimulates hair follicles, improving density and thickness.
✅ Longer-Lasting Effects – PRF releases growth factors gradually over time for sustained results.
✅ 100% Natural – No additives; just your body’s own healing properties.
✅ Improves Scalp Health – Boosts blood circulation and reduces inflammation.
✅ Safe & Minimal Downtime – No synthetic chemicals or major side effects.

- Those looking for a natural hair restoration option.
- Ideal for both men and women with androgenic alopecia.
Treatment Plan
📆 Recommended: 3-4 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 6-12 months.
HYDRAFACIAL
A HydraFacial for hair, also called HydraFacial Keravive, is a scalp treatment designed to cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the scalp, promoting healthier hair growth. It works similarly to the facial version but focuses on removing impurities from the scalp and nourishing the hair follicles.
How It Works:
- Cleansing & Exfoliation: Uses a vortex suction to remove dirt, oil, and dead skin cells from the scalp.
- Hydration & Nourishment: Infuses the scalp with a blend of peptides, proteins, and growth factors to stimulate hair growth.
- Scalp Stimulation: Helps improve blood circulation, which can enhance follicle activity and strengthen hair.
Benefits:
- Removes buildup that can clog hair follicles.
- Hydrates and nourishes the scalp.
- Helps with dandruff, dryness, and irritation.
- Can promote thicker, fuller hair over time.
- Works well for individuals experiencing hair thinning or early-stage hair loss.
Who Can Benefit?
- People with dry, flaky, or oily scalp conditions.
- Those experiencing hair thinning or mild hair loss.
- Anyone looking to boost scalp health for stronger hair growth.
How Often Should You Get It?
- Typically, a series of 3 treatments (once a month) is recommended, followed by maintenance treatments every few months.
