Hair loss can be an embarrassing issue. Male and female pattern hair loss is a genetic problem that can leave you feeling helpless.

Now there is an effective and affordable way for you to improve your hair density without surgery or harmful side effects.

HOW IT WORKS

Platelet Therapy: Where Science Meets Hair Restoration

Platelets contain healing growth factors. Those growth factors are like signal callers that give instructions to your tissue to regenerate and multiply. This has led different fields of medicine to utilize them for wound healing to speed up recovery time and regrow healthier, stronger tissue. Now doctors have discovered new benefits for hair thickening and regrowth. With this treatment, there is a reverse effect to the miniaturization of the hair follicle, jump starting dormant hair back into the growth stage.
