This hairloss medication seems to make many of my patients hesitate. Here are some facts and some reasons people may hesitate….
1. I don’t want to add it to my daily schedule. I will forget or don’t have time.
2. I hear it makes more hair fall out first.
3. Do I have to use this for the rest of my life?

So, we do so many things like clip our seatbelt every time we get in the car. We brush our teeth 2+ times a day. Yes, we are all busy but it should just take 30 seconds to do this. It doesn’t take long. I like the solution because it just touches the scalp and doesn’t coat hair.
Yes, it may cause a few hairs to fall out at first but that’s to get a new hair to grow. It pushes out hairs that were already going to be shedding. But in the long run, this medication tells more of your hairs to be in the growing phase, Anagen, than the falling out phase, telogen.
Yes, you could use this medication for the rest of your life but you will also likely brush your hair, floss your teeth, and take time to eat for the rest of your life. It’s just a matter of choice, if the hairloss if something you are willing to put in 30 seconds a day for. You can always stop but you will lose some progress, not go bald but have thinning like you were starting to have to begin with. All men and women get thinner hair with each passing decade. Some may notice thinning in their 20’s while others not so much until 60’s. See your dermatologist to see if you have androgenetic alopecia or another form of alopecia and need different treatment.

Hyaluronic Acid is in so many serums these days. It doesn’t need to be from an extremely expensive brand but can be helpful adding additional moisture to your skin! Collagen is made of hyaluronic acid and it helps your skin retain moisture/water. I always tell my microneedling patients to use this post-procedure but it can be used daily even without procedures/recovery. .

Central Ohio Skin & Cancer implemented Platelet Rich Plasma(PRP) this year to offer another treatment for patients suffering from hairloss..... and we were so impressed with the results we wanted to share them with you!

The before/after photos posted below are from a patient(posted with patient permission) who has received two PRP treatments and was blown away by the results already.

Contact Dr. Andrea LaTorre at Central Ohio Skin and Cancer if you are interested in a consultation appointment to evaluate your hairloss and to see if you would be a candidate for this treatment.

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a common hair loss disorder caused by genetic and hormonal factors that are characterized by androgen-related progressive thinning of scalp hair in a defined pattern. By the age of 60 years, 45% of men and 35% of women develop AGA. Currently, U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments for AGA including some oral medications. Due to the limited number of effective therapies for AGA, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has become an effective alternative treatment. PRP is an autologous concentration of platelets in plasma with numerous growth factors that contribute to hair regeneration. (Platelet-rich plasma for androgenetic alopecia: A review of the literature and proposed treatment protocol. Int J Womens Dermatol. 2019 Feb; 5(1): 46-51) PRP has not been as thoroughly studied for other forms of hairloss, but shows promising results. Further studies need to be done to evaluate if PRP can be as effective for other alopecia cases as for androgenetic alopecia.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is obtained by drawing a sample of your blood and spinning it down to obtain the PRP from your blood sample. PRP has 5 times the concentration of platelets compared to regular blood. PRP contains many growth factors and proteins that help you heal and support collagen synthesis. Results are gradual and take months to reach full effects. PRP can be used for facial, neck, under eye area, and décolletage rejuvenation as well as hairloss.

Stop blood thinners 48 hours in advance of procedure including ibuprofen/motrin, aleve. Do not take aspirin for one week prior to the PRP session. If you take plavix, warfarin/coumadin or other anticoagulant medications for your cardiovascular health, you should not have PRP treatment. This is because some of these blood thinners alter platelets and without effective platelets to use, the treatment won't be effective.

End results vary by patient. They depend on many factors including aggressiveness of treatment, adherence to treatment care regimen, proper nutrition and good general health. PRP treatment is typically performed approximately once per month for a series of 3-4 initial treatments. Maintenance therapy is advised every 6-12 months.

SIde effects are rare and minimal with PRP since it is a product of one’s own body therefore a more natural treatment. Swelling, bruising, or redness are the most common side effects. Infection or pigment changes are possible but rare as well.

Plan on ~60 minute for your appointment due to the complex nature of obtaining and preparing your PRP.
