Don't Let Hair Loss Get You Down: Treatment Options for Men and Women

We often don’t truly understand our defining characteristics until they start to fade away, which is certainly true of hair loss. Your hair is one of the first things people see, and you’d rather it appear healthy and robust.

Unfortunately, biology has other plans. Your once lush head of hair is fading fast, and it’s having no small impact on your confidence. But you’re far from alone in this journey — more than half of men and about one-third of women experience hair loss.

If you want to explore your options for hitting the reset button on hair loss, you’ve come to the right place. The team at Vivida Dermatology includes leading experts in hair restoration and hair transplants.

In the following, we review our wide range of treatments to offset hair loss and boost your confidence again.

Hair transplantation

We’re going to start with one of the more effective hair loss options, which is hair transplantation using follicular unit extraction (FUE) or follicular unit transplantation (FUT). 

These procedures transplant healthy hair follicles from one area of your head or body to where your hair is thinning, often one by one or in units. The reason we harvest and transplant hair follicles one by one or in smaller units is that we’re able to give you more natural-looking and durable results by painstakingly restoring your hair one follicle at a time.

This attention to detail pays off, as we’re able to permanently establish healthy hair follicles in areas where your scalp was showing.

More great hair restoration options

While Vivida is considered a leading expert in hair transplantation techniques, we also offer other effective treatments for hair loss in men and women, including:

Red light therapy

Certain wavelengths of light can influence cellular activity and boost vascularization to support hair follicles.

Minoxidil

This is a front-line, topical treatment option for hair loss that promotes hair growth in both men and women.

Antiandrogen medications for women

If you're a woman with thinning hair thanks to an imbalance of androgen hormones, which can happen when you have polycystic ovary syndrome, anti-androgen medications can prove effective in re-establishing hair growth.

Platelet-rich plasma injections

As you age, hair follicles can weaken and growing cycles can shrink. Through PRP therapy, we inject a concentrate of platelets into your scalp. These platelets then release growth factors that improve follicular health.

Microneedling

With this technique, we create a call for more resources to flood your scalp by creating microchannels that elicit a healing response. 

Start your hair restoration journey

Believe it or not, this list isn’t complete. We have more hair restoration strategies we can call on, depending on the nature of your hair loss.

The bottom line is that if hair loss is affecting your confidence, it’s time to take action and explore the many potential treatments that can revitalize your head of hair.
