August is Hair Loss Awareness Month, so we are shedding light on a widespread concern affecting millions worldwide. Hair loss can be emotionally distressing, but understanding its causes and becoming aware of available solutions can change your outlook.
Understanding the root causes of hair loss is essential.
Genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, nutrient deficiencies, and certain medical conditions can contribute. Stress, poor diet, and harsh hair treatments are additional factors. Identifying the cause is the first step toward effective treatment.
PRP therapy uses the body’s natural healing process to restore hair loss.
A small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn, processed to concentrate the platelets, and then injected into the scalp. Platelets contain growth factors that stimulate hair follicles, promoting hair growth and thickness. This non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure has become increasingly common due to its effectiveness and minimal downtime.
At Koza Skin Clinic, we take our PRP treatments to the next level with the addition of a prescription strength topical, specifically designed to support hair growth.
Minoxidil 5%: Widely known to stimulate hair growth.
Finasteride 0.25%: Blocks the hormone responsible for hair loss.
Tretinoin 0.01%: Enhances absorption of other active ingredients.
Fluocinolone Acetonide 0.01%: Reduces scalp inflammation.
This blend, compounded in Atrevis gel, is applied by massaging 1.0mL into the scalp twice daily until the tube is empty, and further promotes hair regrowth, addresses hormonal factors, and nurtures scalp health.
