Hair loss, even thinning of the hair, can be devastating to your self-esteem and your psyche. Hair shedding is a natural process but losing excessive amounts of hair could be a sign that it’s time to visit an expert, like Dr. Jeff Arbuckle in Virginia Beach, in hair restoration. Fountain of You MD has helped thousands of men and women restore and regrow their hair. Restoring your hair can help boost your confidence and get you back to feeling like your best self.

There are several common types of hair loss, including pattern hair loss, which can be hereditary and affects about 50% of men and 25% of women in the United States, as well as alopecia and telogen effluvium. Diet and malnutrition, certain prescription medications, some supplements, hormone imbalances, pregnancy, trauma, autoimmune conditions, and stress can all play significant roles in hair growth, hair loss, and scalp health. Scientists are also studying potential links between hair loss and environmental factors.

People suffering from unwanted hair loss often purchase costly, sometimes unnatural-looking, wigs or hairpieces, attempting to hide or camouflage missing hair. Others choose to embrace their baldness and will confidently sport a shaved or bald head.

Treatments for the different kinds of hair loss have mixed reviews. There are surgeons who perform hair transplantations, but the procedure can be costly, can produce visible scarring, and can require several sessions. There are topical and oral medications, some of which are FDA-approved, that can help with treating hair loss but may come with unwanted side effects like erectile dysfunction or decreased sex drive. Cortisone injections have been shown to help treat alopecia areata, but they need to be repeated on a monthly basis. Some practitioners studying alternative medicine recommend dietary supplements but there is very little evidence that supplements help treat hair loss.

Here, at Fountain of You MD in Virginia Beach, we’ve seen tremendous results with hair regrowth and hair restoration using platelet-rich plasma injection therapy. PRP injections for hair restoration is a revolutionary therapy that uses regenerative cells drawn from your own bloodstream to grow hair. PRP is packed with essential nutrients and growth factors with each treatment prolonging the growing phase and stimulating your body to heal, repair, and develop more blood vessels and new hair growth. PRP has been effective in hair regrowth in conditions of alopecia, telogen effluvium, and anagen effluvium.

This non-surgical hair restoration treatment requires no downtime. We usually recommend a series of three treatments every 4 weeks, then maintenance sessions every 4-6 months for optimum hair regrowth.
