What is hair restoration?

Hair restoration refers to the process of promoting hair growth and reversing the effects of hair loss. Whether you have a receding hairline, thinning locks, or male-pattern baldness, Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group offers an array of surgical and nonsurgical treatments to restore your hair.

Who is a candidate for hair restoration?

Hair restoration is ideal if you want fuller, thicker, more voluminous hair. At Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group, the aesthetic team performs a comprehensive evaluation before recommending your options. Factors that may influence their recommendations include your age, medical history, genetics, and the extent of your hair loss.

Most candidates for hair restoration should meet the following qualifications:

• Be in good overall health
• Have a stable medical history
• Have realistic expectations about the procedure
• Are not genetically bald

Hair restoration treatments rely on natural hair follicles to replace lost hair and stimulate new growth. They are not ideal for individuals who have been bald since birth.

Are there different types of hair restoration?

The two most common types of hair restoration are:

PRP hair restoration

Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is a component in your blood that contains healing growth factors. When injected into the scalp, PRP can stimulate your natural hair follicles to promote new growth. 

The process is similar to a Vampire Facial. The team draws your blood and places the sample in a centrifuge, which spins the material to isolate the PRP. Once the team has the highest concentration of PRP, they inject it into your scalp. 

Since PRP hair restoration uses your own blood, there is little to no risk of infection and no downtime. You can expect to return for multiple treatments to achieve long-lasting hair growth.

Hair transplant

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves removing hair follicles from one area of the scalp and placing it on another. While traditional hair transplants require long strips of tissue, Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group uses the NeoGraft® method to extract follicles one by one. This technique results in less scarring and downtime than traditional transplant surgery.

Fuller, thicker hair can boost your confidence and help you reclaim your youth. Call Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group today or schedule an appointment online to find out if hair restoration is right for you.
