Who is hair restoration for?

Hair restoration is designed for anyone experiencing hair thinning or loss. This condition can affect both men and women and may arise from various causes, including genetics, hormonal changes, or environmental factors.

The goal of hair restoration is to revitalize the hair growth process, leading to thicker, healthier hair and improved self-image.

Different types of hair loss require different approaches. Common types include androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness), alopecia areata (spot baldness), and telogen effluvium (temporary shedding).

Identifying the specific type of hair loss is crucial in determining the most effective treatment strategy for each individual.

Who is a good candidate for hair restoration?

Not everyone is a candidate for hair restoration, but many people can benefit from these treatments. The ideal candidates are typically those in the early stages of hair loss or those with a stable pattern of hair loss, allowing for more effective interventions.

Several factors can influence candidacy for hair restoration:

• Age: Younger individuals may respond better to certain treatments, as their hair follicles are often more resilient.
• The extent of hair loss: Early intervention can yield the best results, making timely consultations essential.
• Health history: A thorough assessment will ensure that there are no underlying conditions affecting hair growth.

It's essential to schedule a consultation to discuss specific needs and determine the most suitable approach tailored to each patient.

What is the procedure and recovery?

The hair restoration procedure varies based on the chosen method, such as follicular unit extraction (FUE) or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. Understanding the process helps patients feel more at ease and informed about what to expect.

At Vivida Dermatology, the process starts with a detailed discussion of the patient's hair loss history and treatment options tailored to the individual's needs. If surgery is involved, the area is cleaned and numbed to minimize discomfort.

Hair follicles may be extracted and transplanted, or PRP injections may be administered to stimulate growth. Specific instructions will be provided for optimal recovery and care post-procedure.

Post-procedure recovery typically includes mild discomfort and swelling, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days. Full results may take several months to become visible, as hair growth is a gradual process and patience is key.
