PRP and Hair Transplants: The Modern Hair Loss Solution Duo

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.

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.

Will a Non-Surgical Hair Replacement Look Natural?

Tino’s friend was losing his hair, but was afraid to explore hair loss solutions for fear of having something that appeared unnatural. Tino had a brilliant idea to change his friend’s attitude toward hair replacement systems. With help from his friend Vince, who works at a hair restoration center, Tino had part of his hair shaved off and then replaced with a customized hair restoration system. Tino wants to find out if his friends or family can tell the difference between his real hair and his new hair replacement system. Watch the full video here or read below to see the results.

The Day of the Hair Removal and Restoration

Tino was anxious on the day of his experiment. The hair restoration professional trimmed Tino’s hair before shaving a large section down the middle, leaving the hair full on either side of his head. Tino made sure to document his shaved head as proof for his family and friends. “I’m challenging Vince [hair restoration professional] to make me look like exactly how I did before we did this whole process.”

Vince prepared the hair restoration system and positioned it onto Tino’s head. Immediately, Tino noticed instant, natural-looking results. “You can’t even tell. It feels real and I can’t even tell where my real hair ends and the system begins.”

Family and Friends’ Reactions

Tino’s parents were completely shocked that the hair restoration system wasn’t their son’s natural hair, even though Tino's Dad is also his regular barber. Tino’s Mom was so amazed and surprised his hair wasn’t real, she had to see video proof that Tino's head was ever shaved.

When Tino hung out with his friends, they were also very surprised that the hair system wasn’t Tino’s own. His skeptical friend was amazed at how natural and well blended and colored the system was. Overall, Tino's hair restoration experiment was a success!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer, Hair Loss and Your Hair Restoration Solutions

Karen was only 39 years old when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. One of her earliest thoughts after determining what treatments she would undergo, was “I’m going to lose my hair.” Hair is not only an integral part of a woman’s outward appearance, but also her inner confidence. Karen wanted to know her options when it came time for her to start chemotherapy.

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. She’s living life and loving it,” said Karen’s husband Chris.

Karen loves her new hair restoration system. “It was amazing. Having a full head of hair was incredible.”

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.
