Can I Thicken My Hair Without a Transplant?
Noticing an increase in stray hairs in your brush or in the shower drain? It’s normal to lose about 50 to 100 strands per day. However, as you age, you may begin to see confidence-shaking changes like thin spots, a receding hairline, or a widening space where you part your hair.
While transplants offer a surgical solution for more significant hair loss, you may be seeking a less invasive option to thicken your hair. At RVA Regenerative Wellness in Midlothian, Virginia, Jennylle Zanzi, FNP-C provides an effective and natural approach to hair restoration.
If you’re among the millions of men and women in the United States living with hair loss or thinning, keep reading. Here, we explore innovative, nonsurgical ways to achieve a thick, lush head of hair without the need for a transplant.
Understanding hair loss
Hair loss can stem from a variety of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, and certain medical conditions. One of the most common types of hair loss is androgenic alopecia (male- or female-pattern baldness) a condition that makes your hair follicles more sensitive to the effects of certain hormones, known as androgens.
Over time, this condition causes your hair follicles to shrink, resulting in thinner, less healthy hair growth. These shrunken follicles may eventually stop producing hair altogether.
The likelihood of developing androgenic alopecia increases with age. By the age of 50, approximately half of men experience some degree of hair loss, typically a receding hairline and thinning hair at the crown of the head. Women tend to notice a widening part and thinning throughout the scalp, usually after menopause.
A regenerative approach to hair restoration
While you may associate it with joint pain treatment, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy can be a powerful tool for natural, regenerative hair restoration.
During the procedure, Jennylle draws a small blood sample and processes it to isolate the highest concentration of platelets. Platelets contain growth factors, essential for tissue repair and regeneration.
When injected into the scalp, PRP can reverse hair loss by:
- Stimulating hair follicle activity
- Promoting thicker hair growth
- Increasing blood flow to the follicle, nourishing the hair root
- Reducing premature shedding
To enhance the benefits of your treatment, Jennylle combines the power of PRP with UltraMint, our proprietary injectable blend of hyaluronic acid, peptides, and growth factors. UltraMint boosts the effects of PRP by providing extra nutrients to the hair roots and supporting the scalp’s overall health.
In most cases, you receive one treatment per month for three consecutive months, followed by annual maintenance sessions to support healthy hair growth. Jennylle consults with you beforehand to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific hair loss concerns.
Vitamins and nutrients
A balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and protein provides the essential nutrients your body needs for hair growth. If your diet isn’t up to snuff, your hair often suffers the consequences.
In addition to PRP hair restoration treatments, RVA Regenerative Wellness also offers intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy. This convenient and effective method helps you achieve optimal nutrient levels, ensuring your body has the building blocks it needs for healthy hair growth.
