What Is Hair Restoration?
Hair loss is a significant concern for many patients, whether caused by genetics, age, hormones, medical conditions, or styling products or practices. With current advances in research in the hair restoration industry, new procedures are being created to help combat the issue. Lovelle Valencia of Sante | aesthetics & wellness offers revolutionary hair restoration treatment in Thousand Oaks, CA to help patients slow, stop, and reverse hair loss. Hair restoration has shown to be extremely promising in the strengthening of the hair, resulting in hair that is thicker, longer, and healthier.

- No surgical procedures or scars
- Utilizes your own growth factors
- Outcomes are natural-looking and may be long-lasting
- No needed recovery time
Who Is An Ideal Candidate for Hair Restoration?
Anyone suffering from balding is potentially an ideal candidate for PRP hair therapy, while those with early hair loss tend to respond best. PRP is best suited for those with androgenic alopecia, which is a genetically determined type of hair loss that commonly occurs along the top part of the head. In women, this could look like a widening part with normal hair density on the backside of the head. Those with sections of “weak quality” hair growth on the scalp with normally reacting hair follicles typically have the best results with PRP hair regrowth treatments.
How Does Hair Restoration Work?
At your consultation, a personalized treatment plan will be created to determine how best to address your needs. Your procedure details will depend on your course of treatment. If you have a PRP treatment, it is a nonsurgical procedure completed in a brief 60-minute in-office visit. The process begins with obtaining a small amount of your blood and placing it in a special machine, which circulates the blood at high speed to separate the platelets from the remainder of the blood components. After that, a local anesthetic is applied to your scalp, and the platelet-rich plasma is reintroduced into areas of your scalp that are thinning or bald. Then, microneedling is performed on the scalp to cause micro-trauma and micro-channels to the epidermis, which activates the PRP and permits it to seep deep into the skin. Our protocol for nonsurgical management of hair loss consists of an initial treatment and maintenance treatments roughly every nine months to one year. If an IV therapy is chosen, a custom blend of vitamins and minerals can be administered into the bloodstream to promote hair thickness and growth.
What Should I Expect after Hair Restoration?
There is no recovery period necessary after this procedure, with practically no limits or restrictions. If anything, patients may develop some discoloration, minor swelling, and mild discomfort to the treated regions. These symptoms can last up to two days. While results differ for each patient, aesthetic results are most often seen around 4 – 6 months after the initial treatment and may continue to improve for as much as a complete year following treatment. As PRP is not a permanent option for hair loss, follow-up sessions are recommended every 12 – 18 months. It is important to remember that PRP doesn’t grow new hair follicles in locations where you’re already bald. It is used to reverse the miniaturization of hair follicles so they will create healthier, thicker, longer hair fibers.
