For those dealing with hair loss, nonsurgical solutions are often the most desirable option. Fortunately, there are a number of nonsurgical hair loss solutions available today for both men and women. If you are searching for an alternative to hair loss surgery, consider trying one of these solutions.
Medications
There are a number of medications available designed to slow down hair loss, some of which are more effective than others. One of the most popular, over-the-counter options is Minoxidil. Minoxidil is FDA approved and has been shown to slow down hair loss and, in some cases, encourage the growth of new hair. Like all hair loss medications, though, the effects of Minoxidil are limited, and it only works as long as you continue using it.
Avoid Over-Styling
If you are suffering from hair loss, it might be a good idea to ease up on over-styling your hair. Many dyes, styling products, and other products you put in your hair can actually contribute to hair loss. In addition to this, using a curling iron too often can also weaken your hair and lead to hair loss.
Watch Your Diet
Did you know that your diet is actually a big factor in determining hair loss and hair growth? Nutrient deficiencies are one of the leading causes of hair loss. To give your body what it needs to combat hair loss, you will want to make sure you are maintaining a nutrient-rich diet. Lean protein is a must, as are foods that are high in vitamins such as eggs, leafy greens, and citrus fruits. If you are suffering from hair loss, adopting a healthy, nutrient-rich diet is one of the first things you should do.
PRP Therapy
One of the most exciting (and effective) nonsurgical hair loss solutions is PRP therapy. PRP therapy is a procedure where platelet rich plasma is separated from a blood sample and then injected into your scalp. This procedure works due to the natural healing and growth compounds found in our blood. When these compounds are concentrated and injected into the scalp, hair growth can be stimulated. PRP therapy is one of the procedures Dr. Frank stands by and it is an incredibly effective, non-surgical hair loss treatment.
