Not all PRP is the same.\u00a0 Our technique provides on of the highest concentrations of benefits cells to improve hair.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When hair loss continues, hair transplant surgery may be an option to restore hair. \u00a0 To perform hair transplant surgery, small units with hair bulbs are removed and reimplanted into less dense areas of the scalp.\u00a0 The hair is generally \u201cdonated\u201d from the back of the scalp where hair is more robust and resistant to loss.\u00a0 To stimulate hair growth after hair transplant surgery, PRP can be used.<\/span><\/p>\n Overall, hair loss should not make you fearful of growing up.\u00a0 There are many causes of hair loss besides aging, and, by seeking help from a professional like Dr. Priti Patel, you can find the treatment options that are right for you!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Hair Loss and Methods of Rejuvenation Joseph Kozimbo, Priti P Patel MD One fear of growing older is the potential for hair loss \u2014 will I be bald?\u00a0 But is old age the only cause of hair loss?\u00a0 And if you lose your hair, what methods of rejuvenation are there?
