Hair loss is an experience that is familiar to many people, both men and women of all ages. It is estimated that close to 80% of adult men will have some type of hair loss by the age of 50. For women, 40% will have hair loss also by the age of 50. No matter your age if you are beginning to see hair loss, know that your current situation is not hopeless, as distressing or unsettling as it may feel. Many people form a unique sort of attachment to their hair, so loss of hair can almost feel like a small loss of identity. It is important to know that there are potential solutions or treatments to help.
Here at MD Optimal Health & Aesthetics we offer stem cell microchanneling treatments. Stem cell microchanneling is a versatile treatment and is used for more than hair loss. In some instances, microchanneling is used as a cosmetic facial treatment in order to trigger the natural healing process of the skin. Microchanneling is a fantastic option or tightening the skin, healing scars and creating collagen.
Hair Restoration FAQs
Microchanneling (often also referred as microneedling) helps to promote hair growth by increasing collagen production. Collagen is necessary for the scalp to allow the hair follicles to remain healthy and grow hair. When your scalp is suffering from a lack of collagen, you are likely to see a slowing in hair growth, and in some cases, your follicles may become dormant altogether.Microchanneling treatments increase blood flow to the scalp, which allow for more nutrients and oxygen to be delivered, and promote strong, healthy hair growth. When you undergo a microchanneling treatment, blood is immediately encouraged to surge to the scalp through the tiny micro punctures. The treatment also stimulates stem cells deep inside your hair follicles. If you are already on medicated topical medications such as Finasteride or Minoxidil, you can expect to have increased penetration of these medications. Hair follicles can be found around 1-2 millimeters beneath the surface of the scalp. When these follicles are opened up from the microchanneling, medication will have easier, more direct access to the follicle.
As a non-surgical treatment option for hair loss, stem cell microchanneling has some advantages over surgical hair restoration treatments.
These include:
~Many different people can benefit from microchanneling. Non-surgical hair restoration options, such as stem cell microchanneling are available for a variety of people and hair loss situations. Both men and women can benefit from microchanneling treatments. In addition, stem cell microchanneling does not require a certain amount of hair loss to be effective. The procedure can be performed on both mild and substantial hair loss, with both groups having the potential to see benefits.
-Faster results can occur when compared to surgical hair restoration options. When you opt for a more invasive surgical procedure for hair loss, it may be a while before you are able to see significant results. Plus, procedures such as stem cell microchanneling cost less. This means less financial stress, and less time spent saving money to receive surgery or a hair transplant.
~Far less pain, discomfort and recovery are needed with microchanneling. It is a well known fact that surgery and invasive procedures are painful and they require some recovery. Recovery from surgery can be highly disruptive to a person’s daily life, and the issues with pain don’t make the situation any more manageable. While stem cell microchanneling does feature a limited amount of pain, it is minor and highly temporary. You won't even need to spend time in recovery nor deal with lingering discomfort more than a few days.
Procell pure stem cells are packed full of growth factors. They can do more to help encourage hair regrowth than undergoing a standard microchanneling treatment.
These growth factors include:
- Cytokines
- TGF-ß3
- Protective antioxidants
- Potent peptides
Procell makes use of conditioned media sourced from stem cells in human bone marrow culture. Specifically, these cells are known as BM-MSCs. These cells play a vital role in the body’s healing processes throughout our lives. However, as we age, our production of BM-MSCs begins to decrease. The BM-MSCs found in Procell are sourced from young, healthy volunteers, who undergo complex medical moderation during the process. These stem cells are then kept in FDA-regulated facilities where they can grow and be processed. The use of Procell pure stem cells ensures an even more powerful effect on hair growth thanks to the additional growth factors.
A minimum of 3-6 treatments every 2-4 weeks apart will likely be needed. However, the actual number of treatments needed varies per patient.
A package of 4 treatments with stem cells and Procell Regrowth Aftercare serum ($150 value) is $1600
If only one session is purchased, the cost is $450.
