Hair Restoration

What Is Non-Surgical Hair Restoration?

Non-surgical hair restoration refers to advanced, minimally invasive treatments that stimulate natural hair growth without the need for incisions, sutures, or lengthy recovery times. These procedures target hair thinning and early-stage hair loss by enhancing the function and vitality of existing hair follicles.

At Scarpidis Aesthetics, we utilize clinically proven therapies like exosome hair therapy, PRP, and scalp microneedling to promote hair regeneration and support long-term hair health. These options are often ideal for patients who want noticeable, natural-looking results without undergoing surgery.

Unlike FUE or FUT hair transplants, non-surgical hair restoration requires little to no downtime, making it perfect for those with demanding schedules. The procedures are safe, effective, and customizable based on your pattern of hair loss and individual goals. With consistent treatment and expert oversight from Dr. Scarpidis, patients can expect gradual improvement in thickness, density, and overall scalp coverage.

Hair loss is a common concern affecting millions of people worldwide. Studies show that approximately 35 million men and 21 million women in the United States alone suffer from hair loss. Globally, it’s estimated that around 60% of men and 50% of women will experience hair loss by age 50.

Causes of Hair Loss

• Genetic factors
• Hormonal imbalances, particularly those related to andropause, thyroid issues, pregnancy, menopause, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Certain medical conditions, including alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder
• Scalp infections and skin disorders like psoriasis
• Side effects of certain medications, including many used for cancer, arthritis, depression, heart problems, and high blood pressure
• Medical treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy
• A lack of essential nutrients, particularly iron, vitamin D, protein, and other vitamins and minerals
• Significant physical or emotional stress, which can trigger a type of hair loss called telogen effluvium, where hair prematurely enters the resting phase and falls out in large amounts

Symptoms of Hair Loss

• Gradual Thinning on Top of the Head: This is the most common type of hair loss, affecting both men and women as they age. In men, hair often begins to recede at the hairline on the forehead, while women typically experience a broadening of the part in their hair.
• Patchy Bald Spots: Some people experience smooth, coin-sized bald spots, usually on the scalp. Sometimes, the skin may become itchy or painful before the hair falls out.
• Sudden Loosening of Hair: A physical or emotional shock can cause hair to loosen. Handfuls of hair may come out when combing, washing, or even after gentle tugging. This type of hair loss usually causes overall hair thinning but is temporary.
• Full-Body Hair Loss: Some conditions and medical treatments, such as chemotherapy for cancer, can result in hair loss all over the body, but hair usually grows back.
• Scaling Patches that Spread Over the Scalp: This is a sign of ringworm. The patches may be accompanied by broken hair, redness, swelling, and, at times, oozing.

Most of Dr. Scarpidis’ hair restoration patients are men seeking solutions to address their unique hair loss concerns. Let’s look at some of the common causes and symptoms men face:

• Genetics: The most prevalent cause of hair loss in men is androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male pattern baldness. This hereditary condition leads to a predictable pattern of hair thinning and loss, often starting with a receding hairline and thinning at the crown.
• Hormonal Changes: Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a derivative of testosterone, plays a significant role in male pattern baldness. High levels of DHT can shrink hair follicles, resulting in shorter and finer hair until hair growth ceases altogether.
• Receding Hairline: One of the first signs of male pattern baldness is a receding hairline, which typically forms an “M” shape as hair thins around the temples.
• Thinning at the Crown: Another common symptom is thinning at the crown of the head, which may eventually lead to bald spots.
• Overall Hair Thinning: Men may notice general hair thinning on the top of the head, resulting in a more diffuse hair loss pattern.
• Patchy Bald Spots: Men can sometimes experience small, circular bald spots due to conditions like alopecia areata. This type of hair loss can also occur in beards or eyebrows.

Is non-surgical hair restoration better than FUE or FUT?

While FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) are effective surgical hair restoration methods, non-surgical treatments offer significant benefits such as less downtime, no incisions, and a lower risk of complications. These options are ideal for patients in the early to moderate stages of hair loss who want to avoid surgery.

How long does it take to see results from non-surgical hair restoration?

Results can vary, but many patients begin noticing changes in hair thickness and density within three to six months. Full results typically develop over the course of six to 12 months.

Do non-surgical hair restoration treatments hurt?

Most patients report only mild discomfort during procedures like PRP or microneedling. Topical numbing agents are often used to ensure comfort, and there’s minimal to no recovery time afterward.

How do I know which hair restoration treatment is right for me?

During your consultation, Dr. Scarpidis will assess your scalp, hair loss pattern, medical history, and goals to determine the best non-surgical treatment or combination of therapies for you.

How often will I need treatments to maintain results?

Treatment frequency depends on your specific therapy and hair restoration goals. Some patients require an initial series of treatments followed by maintenance sessions every few months. Dr. Scarpidis will provide personalized recommendations for the optimal treatment schedule for you during your consultation.

Can women benefit from non-surgical hair restoration?

Absolutely. Many women experience hair thinning due to hormonal changes, stress, or medical conditions. Non-surgical hair restoration is a safe, effective option for women looking to restore hair volume and prevent further loss.
