What is hair restoration?
Hair restoration at Pellé Medical Spa relies on a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment with many health and cosmetic benefits. If you suffer from hair loss or thinning, a serum containing growth factors can be injected into the scalp to grow thicker, fuller hair.* At Pellé Medical Spa, we provide hair restoration to men and women in the Manchester, New Hampshire area. To regain confidence and a full head of hair without surgery or downtime, choose Pellé!*
How does it work?
Blood mainly consists of a liquid called plasma, and contains red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Platelets play an important role in clotting blood, but they also contain hundreds of proteins called growth factors. Growth factors are commonly used by medical professionals to heal injuries. A high concentration of platelets and growth factors can be 5-10 times richer than normal plasma.
In order to develop and prepare the serum, we will draw a small amount of your own blood. Using the centrifuge at our medical spa, we will separate platelets from other blood cells in order to increase their concentration. The increased concentration of platelets is then combined with the remaining blood.
How does hair restoration work?
Although the science is not crystal clear, studies show that the increased concentration of growth factors can speed up the healing process. For hair restoration, growth factors can be injected into the scalp in order to stimulate inactive hair follicles into active growth.*
What can I expect during the procedure?
When you come in for the procedure, your scalp will be given an anesthesia block to ensure that you don’t feel any pain or discomfort. A small amount blood will be drawn, in the same way that routine blood samples are taken in a lab. We will then prepare the hair growth serum by centrifuging your blood sample. The centrifuge machine has a rapidly rotating container that uses centrifugal force to separate the growth factors.
Your provider will then add the hair growth serum to a syringe and inject it into your scalp. Injections are made in order to deliver the highly-concentrated growth factors into the skin at the level of any weak hair follicles. The entire procedure takes 30 minutes to an hour to complete, but you will be able to drive yourself home afterwards and resume your regular routine. There is no downtime!
What can I expect from the results?
Patients usually see improvements in hair thickness, texture and growth within a few weeks after treatment.* It can take several months to see measurable results. We recommend 2-3 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart, for best results.* You will need maintenance treatments every 1-2 years to maintain the results of your hair restoration treatment.* No procedure can change your genetic predisposition for hair loss, so subsequent sessions are strongly encouraged.
