Can You Regrow Hair Without Surgery?

You don’t have to receive a long, invasive procedure to restore your lost hair and regain your confidence. There are a wide variety of non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments that are very efficient and effective.

PRP Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma therapy, also called PRP therapy, is one of the most well-known non-surgical hair regrowth techniques. This minimally invasive treatment uses the platelets in your blood to help your body regrow your lost hair. After you have completed three PRP treatments, we may advise you to receive follow-up sessions every six months or so.

Laser Light Treatments

Laser light treatments are another type of non-surgical hair regrowth technique. This method uses gentle laser energy to stimulate your hair follicles and encourage regrowth.

Oral and Topical Medications

Applying topical medications to your scalp can be a good way to address your hair loss in a completely non-invasive manner. For example, you can apply a medication called Rogaine to your scalp every day. This medication will stimulate your hair growth and minimize bald patches on your scalp. There are also oral medications that can slow your hair loss and cause you to grow new hair.

Cortisone Shots

Cortisone shots can be used to treat hair loss that is caused by alopecia areata and other medical conditions. These shots will improve your hair loss by reducing inflammation under your scalp. During this type of treatment, we will gently inject cortisone into the areas where you are experiencing hair loss.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for These Non-Surgical Hair Regrowth Treatments?

To treat your hair loss, we will need to determine why you are experiencing this issue. We can diagnose you by looking at your scalp and hair, ordering blood tests, and using other diagnostic methods. For example, we might pull on your hair to see how it reacts to this pressure. Further, we can use specialized medical equipment to determine whether your hair shafts are healthy.

Once we have determined the cause of your hair loss, we will choose a non-invasive or minimally invasive hair loss treatment for you. We can also design a personalized plan that uses a variety of methods to restore your hair.
