Toronto Hair Transplant Surgeons
Not everyone is either ready or eligible for a hair transplant surgery, which is a surgical procedure. The good news is there are many more non-surgical options for hair restoration than ever before. These include a variety of other treatments designed to replace lost hair without surgery.
Finasteride is the only Health Canada and FDA-approved oral (taken by mouth) medication for genetic hair loss (androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern hair loss) in men. Research has shown that Finasteride is effective for many patients with male pattern hair loss.
We will take you through all the most common questions about finasteride, including if it is safe for women below. This information is intended to help patients make informed decisions about their treatment options.
Minoxidil is the generic name for Rogaine, a topical solution used to prevent hair loss and to help regrow hair, especially for those experiencing hair thinning, in people with genetic hair loss or androgenetic alopecia.
Minoxidil works by improving blood flow through the blood vessels in the scalp, delivering oxygen and nutrients to hair follicles. This increased blood flow nourishes the hair follicles and can help promote the growth of thicker hair.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) can be used to treat hair loss in both men and women. Performed in a state-of-the-art manner, PRP treatments for hair are non-surgical and entirely natural. Your own platelet-rich plasma is injected into your scalp, then the “growth factors” in your blood cells do their job and hair growth is naturally stimulated.
The process of PRP treatment involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting it into targeted areas of the scalp. This can result in the growth of thicker, healthier hair.
The Toronto Hair Transplant Surgeons is now carrying the BIOLIGHT Medical Hair Therapy laser cap. Low-level laser therapy has been proven to be effective for the treatment and prevention of hair loss. This process works by stimulating hair follicles and increasing blood flow through the scalp’s blood vessels, which helps deliver essential nutrients to the scalp and supports the growth of thicker, healthier hair. Laser caps are a popular choice for patients looking for non-surgical treatment options.
