Male Hair Loss Treatment Near You

Natural hair restoration treatments at Restorative Health use the power of your own body to stimulate your hair follicles, promoting new hair growth and retention. You’ll enjoy increased hair growth that’s permanent and natural.

Plenty of over-the-counter products brag that they can reverse hair loss and return your hair to its former glory. The problem is that once you’re past the early stages of hair loss – and lots of men find that they are – many of your empty follicles have gone dormant and aren’t likely to regrow hair without more advanced intervention from Restorative Health.

Best Hair Loss Treatments for Men in Early Stages of Balding

Men experiencing balding and thinning tend to see results when using an androgen-dependent hair loss medication, which works by stopping testosterone from converting into dihydrotestosterone in the scalp. This conversion is what is responsible for hair loss.

During early stages of hair loss, prescription androgen-dependent medication helps increase hair growth after three months of use.

Prescription androgen-independent medications work by dilating small blood vessels in the body, which stimulates hair regrowth. About 40 percent of men see results within three months, and the medication continues to support regrowth for as long as you take it.

Laser Therapy for Hair Restoration

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is effective for hair restoration for men. LLLT works by acting upon the telogen and anagen phases of the hair growth cycle by altering cell metabolism and opening K+ channels, which generate electrical signals in cells. The process encourages your follicles to grow hair naturally.

Laser therapy is a simple outpatient treatment done in-office that allows you to return to your normal activities immediately after your appointment.

The Phases of the Hair Growth Cycle

Anagen Phase - The growing phase, or first part of the hair growth cycle. During this phase, cells of the hair bulb divide rapidly, resulting in new hair growth. About 90 percent of hair follicles are in the anagen phase at any given time.
Catagen Phase - The transition phase, which lasts only two to three weeks, is when the hair stops growing and detaches itself from the blood supply. This is when “club hair” forms.
Telogen Phase - The resting phase, which lasts three months, is when new hair begins to grow beneath club hair. Up to 15 percent of all hairs are in this phase at any given time.
Exogen Phase - The hair shedding phase is the last part of the cycle. The resting club hair detaches and falls out during this phase. During the exogen phase, most people lose up to 100 strands of hair per day.

After the exogen phase, the follicle returns to the anagen phase and starts over again.

Hair Repair Grafts for Men

If you’re in a more advanced stage of hair loss, don’t fret. There are still natural hair repair treatments available for you at Restorative Health.

Our in-office hair restoration technique, called follicular unit extraction (FUE), can give you a fuller head of hair and reduce the look of thinning and balding.

During the FUE procedure, your medical provider will gently extract individual follicles from the sides and back of your head – usually where hair is thicker and healthier – and place them into the scalp where your hair is thinning. You’ll see results within a few months as the hair growth cycle progresses.

You could be running your fingers through a full head of hair within the year.
