• Asking your doctor if hair loss is a side effect of your prescribed medicine. You should also do your research and read the manufacturer's warnings. 

• Asking the pharmacist to provide the side effects before filling a prescription.

• Reading the guidebooks in pharmacies is an excellent approach to finding the side effects of prescription pills.

PRP Therapy As A Hair Loss Solution

According to US National Library of Medicine website Platelet Rich Plasma PRP is scientifically known as autologous blood with concentrations above baseline levels containing at least seven growth factors. In other words, PRP is just taking a portion of someone's blood separating it into two layers: one layer is the platelet rich plasma that contains small colorless disk-shape cells (platelet) and the red blood cells. Platelet rich plasma is a natural source of growth factors that is used to promote soft tissue healing and is used today as a solution to hair loss.

Platelet Rich Plasma was discovered in 1999 by different companies, according to bones and joints expert, Dr. Joseph Aiello. Dr. Aiello said, "oral surgeons and plastic surgeons were the first to get on board with PRP." Oral and plastic surgeons used PRP when doing reconstructive bone surgery and plastic surgery. The enhancement of the healing after surgery was the motivation for the use of PRP.

At one point PRP was very expensive. Later doctors started to use PRP to stabilize different joints. Athletes like Tiger Woods, Hines Ward, the Pittsburg Steelers and Stanford football players would use PRP to heal injuries quicker so they can get back to playing before choosing the option of having surgery. The results of using PRP to heal and stabilize joints turned out fantastic! In 2004 Menlo Medical clinic's, Dr. Allan Mishra did a study of the use of PRP and found that 90 percent of healing was at the six-month mark on injuries that were 20 months old.

Today PRP plays a significant role in hair loss restoration. International Hair Restoration Systems offers Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, an advanced hair restoration solution for men and women. For this safe and comfortable procedure with little to no downtime, the platelets are distributed directly into the hair follicle stimulating growth.

The steps of the PRP process consist of transferring stem cells to your hairline, crown or the top of your head to be used to help promote hair growth and reverse hair loss. Blood is drawn and placed into a machine with a rapidly rotating container, known as a centrifuge, that separates the plasma that includes substantial growth factors from the blood. It is then placed in the scalp. Platelet Rich Plasma is an outstanding technology used to heal scar tissue and hair follicles, while also helping to thicken the existing hair follicles that are weak from hair loss.

NeoGraft®: The Best Method of Hair Transplantation

Modern technology in hair restoration has come a long way and with that, there are now multiple options for hair transplant procedures. Which method is best and how does it work? Read on to discover what makes the NeoGraft® hair transplant procedure, available at IHRS, so impressive.

NeoGraft® utilizes a Follicular Unit Extraction process, or FUE, which means the hair follicles are removed directly from the donor areas with no need to cut into the scalp. Patients are able to benefit from the fact that this style of transplant is minimally invasive, allowing for a much shorter recovery time when compared to other hair transplant methods. Also, thanks to the FUE method, the procedure is virtually painless and creates no linear scars.

"NeoGraft® is less invasive and offers more comfort to our patients. We are the exclusive provider of this technique in the Jacksonville area, and our patients benefit from it."   -- Dr. Brett Hirsch, of IHRS

Pneumatic pressure is used to extract the follicles and strategically implant them. Not touching the follicles with forceps during the harvesting means they will be in a healthier state upon transplantation. The hairs selected are hairs around the base and sides of the head which are naturally programmed to keep growing and not fall out.

The cost of a NeoGraft® Automated Transplant procedure is comparable to the traditional "strip" method of hair transplant but less expensive than manual FUE procedures offered at other hair restoration clinics. This also means that with NeoGraft®, the patient will spend less time undergoing the transplant.

The results speak for themselves. NeoGraft® has created amazing transformations for both men and women all across Jacksonville and North Florida. This modern hair transplant technique allows for the most natural appearing results to date. With NeoGraft®, you can grow your own hair.

There may be several options out there for hair transplants, but NeoGraft® could be the best solution for you. To find out, you have to take the first step of calling IHRS or visit our website to schedule a Free Hair and Scalp Analysis. There, we can determine the cause of your hair loss and if you are a candidate for a NeoGraft® procedure. For more information, visit www.Hair4mMe.com or call (904) 425-5097.

PRP and Hair Transplants: The Modern Hair Loss Solution Duo

Photo courtesy of Joint & Spine Institute 

International Hair Restoration Systems in Jacksonville proudly offers an innovative treatment for hair loss.

Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP is a procedure used in hair loss treatments to improve hair growth and strengthen hair follicles. Platelet Rich Plasma is a versatile procedure in that PRP can be a standalone treatment to combat hair loss, and PRP can also work wonders in conjunction with a hair transplant.

Platelet Rich Plasma is not new technology, but it is a new medically advanced technology in treating hair loss. Whether used in a standalone procedure or in addition to a hair transplant, Platelet Rich Plasma involves drawing a patient’s blood and centrifuging it out to separate the blood from the cells and plasma. PRP utilizes the patient’s own stem cells, which work with the patient’s hair to not only heal the transplant site, but to encourage growth within the transplanted or unhealthy hair follicles.

Hairtransplant technology has advanced over the years and the procedures are now more advanced than ever. Used in tandem, these two procedures are a winning duo against hair loss.

For more information on how PRP can help you, visit our website.

5 Tips For Healthy Hair All Winter Long

It's that time of year again... When the air gets a little colder, and undoubtedly dry, and windy. This can create harsh conditions for your hair. It's best to take proper precautions in managing your moisture and texture now. Read on to discover some helpful hair tips. 

Deep Condition

Hair takes a beating from the dry, cold air during winter. Combat damaging weather with a hair mask that will breathe life back into your cold, dead hair. You can create your own hair mask with coconut oil. Coconut oil is a great, natural product that can heal and repair damaged hair. Use a mask that will penetrate your hair strands and get to the root of the dryness.

Wrap it

Protecting your hair from exposure to the winter elements is key. Keep your hair protected from the harsh winter winds with a wool or silk scarf, or hair wrap. Not only will this simple accessory liven up any winter look, it will keep your hair from flying around and taking a beating from the cold. Silk is a soft enough material to help keep your hair’s frizziness at bay, while wool will keep your head warm and cozy.

Humidifiers are Friends

Since the winter air is dry, your hair can lack the necessary moisture to keep it healthy, especially if you’re running your heater.  Investing in a humidifier can be a game changer. Even in Florida, a humidifier can be winter hair’s saving grace because it will put much needed moisture back into the air that can help improve your hair’s quality.

Wash Less

Even though warm showers feel great in the winter months, keep your hair washing to a minimum. Your hair will dry out easily during the winter months and washing it will only dry it out even more. In addition, if you are someone who is used to washing your hair every day, make sure you thoroughly dry it before you leave the house. Wet hair is not only more susceptible to weather damage, but it increases your chances of contracting a cold since your body heat is leaving. Also opt for a dry shampoo, which will refresh your hair in between washes by absorbing oils and sweat.

Regular Trims

It’s important, especially during the wintertime, to keep up with your hair’s maintenance. Stay consistent and get regular trims every six to eight weeks. This will keep your hair healthy by helping to eliminate dead ends and keep your hair looking and feeling fresh.

Hair Restoration Restored Carol’s Confidence

The Decision

Carol was in her late 40’s when she started losing her hair. Her hair loss was affecting her confidence and her social life, isolating her from friends and family. She would stay away from parties and family events, including weddings, because of her thinning hair.

Carol wanted to make a change in her appearance, and ultimately, her confidence. She said goodbye to looking older than her age and hello to a fresh new look!

Carol received her new hair replacement system and went back to work on Monday. Carol works as a stenographer, or court reporter. To her surprise, the case she was working was televised. Throughout the day, Carol would check her appearance and loved her results. She felt great and looked great.

The Results

Carol’s phone did not stop ringing the night the court case aired on the news. Everyone was telling her how great she looked on TV and how her new red hair complimented her so well.

Carol watched the case when it aired on the evening news and could not stop beaming with excitement. “I’m like 20 years younger! This is the new me!” Carol regained her confidence through hair restoration and you can too. Watch Carol’s full testimonial here.

Through hair restoration, Karen was able to find the right solution for her specific needs and desires. She chose a hair restoration system that enabled her to feel confident in public and feel like herself before the diagnosis. Aside from the cancer diagnosis, Karen also suffered from thinning hair that began in her 20’s. “It [the hair replacement system] changed her personality back to the girl that I knew.

Answers to Common Hair Loss Questions

Both Men and Women can experience hair loss in their lifetime. It's very common and it's normal to have questions and wish you could improve your hair loss situation.  Below are some of the most frequently asked questions on the minds of hair loss sufferers, with answers from International Hair Restoration Systems.

What causes hair loss?

Several things can contribute to causing hair loss. The number one culprit is usually genetics or hereditary male or female pattern baldness. This is a natural cause and often goes hand in hand with aging. There are also un-natural causes like certain prescription drugs or poor hair care routines or habits like overly processing with harsh chemicals. A number of health conditions like Lupus or Thyroid Disorders can also contribute to thinning hair or hair loss.

What hair loss solutions are there?

This all depends on your degree of hair loss but no matter what your situation is, there are plenty of solutions to choose from. Many advancements have been made in the hair restoration industry over the last several decades. Now there are hair transplant procedures that offer completely natural appearing results, with minimal to no pain or scarring, like the Neograft procedure. Other advancements include Laser Hair Therapy, which uses cool lasers to stimulate the hair follicles which can promote growth and thickening.

PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma is another scientific advancement in hair restoration. This procedure actually uses stem cell technology to help re-grow your hair. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is collected from your blood after a sample is drawn and then placed in a centrifuge to isolate the plasma that is filled with the growth factor platelets. When injected back into scalp, PRP begins to heal the unhealthy areas of your head that are balding. Hair follicles can become healthy again and start to grow or thicken.

For those who are looking for a complete hair replacement option, advancements have been made there too, allowing for a completely natural and versatile look to be accomplished. Sensigraft is a great product available for men, which is designed with real human hair to match your existing hair and is virtually undetectable to sight or touch. ReAllusions for women is a similar product, in that it is a non-surgical option that is not a wig or hair piece, but a permanent solution that essentially becomes a part of you.

Do any advertised hair loss treatments actually work?

Yes! There's no guarantee that EVERY product advertised out there will work for you, but the options listed above have show proven results time and time again. You can watch several hair restoration client testimonials here to learn what their experience was like and how they feel about their results. You can also find more videos on YouTube.

When should I begin treatment for hair loss?

Generally, it's best to inquire about treatment in the early stages of hair loss or thinning. Options like PRP or Laser Hair Therapy are great procedures that can help stabilize your hair loss, while thickening and strengthening your existing hair. It is never too late, however.  Regardless of your degree of hair loss, there IS a solution for you.

What should I do now?

The easiest way to begin restoring your hair is to book a free consultation with a hair restoration specialist. At IHRS, you can meet privately to determine both the cause of your hair loss and the right solution for you. You can book online at http://hair4me.com/contactus.htm or call (904) 425-5097.
