New Year, New Look: Jason's Hair Loss Restoration Journey

Hair loss runs in Jason’s family and by the time he was in his mid-twenties, his hair began thinning. Hair loss affected Jason in ways that are all too familiar to people experiencing hair loss. He felt less confident and more insecure about his appearance especially when he would see himself in his old photos, sporting a full head of hair. He even began to wear bandannas to cover his bald spots.

Jason decided enough was enough and chose to replace his hair with SensiGraft™. SensiGraft is a state-of -the-art hair replacement solution for men. Sensigraft is permanent hair designed to suit your expectations and give you the natural look you’re striving for.

Now, Jason loves his results! “If I’m going to get hair it must look good, and I was blown away by my new hair!” Jason looks and feels more confident than ever before. You can too, when you choose to restore your hair.

The Past, Present and Future of Hair Restoration

The science and technology of solving the problem of hair loss has come a long way, since its origins, many centuries ago. Now there are many reliable methods of restoring your hair, so hair loss sufferers don't have to rely on snake oil or bizarre experiments.

The earliest historical record of a treatment for hair loss dates back to 1533 B.C., from the Egyptians, and details an ingestible cure consisting of onions, honey, red lead, iron oxide, alabaster and the fat of various animals. Once the patient consumed the potion, he or she would recite a verse and summon the Sun God to increase the cure’s effect.

Potions, elixirs and clever comb-overs remained the public's best option for a chance at preventing hair loss and growing new hair for several years, then in 1624, wigs were introduced. King Louis XIII wore them to cover up his thinning hair. This triggered a trend in France among its members of the court, who then began wearing large powdered wigs. These wigs eventually became a sign of power and importance and the fad transcended to England shortly thereafter.

During the turn of the 20th century, a device called the Evans Vacuum Cap introduced to the hair loss community a suction hat-like device that worked to recirculate stagnant blood flow in a similar fashion as a vacuum.

The 1980's were all about HAIR! If you didn't have it, you wanted it and big was beautiful. The desire to grow one's own hair back led to advancements in both hair transplants and topical treatments. Unfortunately, the science of hair transplants had not yet been perfected and it led to a lot of bad experiences with hair plugs, which could give the recipient a doll-like appearance. Toupees also became popular, but were often cheaply made and unconvincing.

Today, in modern times, science has not only brought us new hair loss treatments but also advancement in hair transplant procedures. Individual hairs are now able to be harvested and hair is restored into thinning areas. Great skill is used when matching the patients' natural growth patterns, allowing for natural results ever. A popular hair transplant procedure now is called NeoGraft®, and is offered at IHRS. This modern procedure involves no scalpel incision, no linear scarring, and only zero to minor discomfort, immediately post procedure.

In terms of hair replacement, wigs and toupees are officially a thing of the past. Products like Sensigraft™ and Reallusions® involve the highest quality human or synthetic hair, depending on what the client chooses, and are grafted onto the client's scalp with second skin-like membrane, allowing for the most natural and undetectable results.

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!
