Here’s a not-so-fun fact: over 50 per cent of males may experience some form of hair loss by the age of 50. As you can probably guess, things only get bleaker—and balder—from there. Some men sit back and do nothing as the follicles drift away whilst others take a far more proactive approach to hair loss, pursuing modern solutions such as PRP hair regrowth or FUE hair transplants. For that, Australia’s own Hair & Skin Science has you covered—literally.
With locations throughout Australia, Hair & Skin Science is the largest domestic provider of PRP (platelet-rich plasma) hair loss and skin treatments, and the nation’s first and only clinic to offer PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) hair loss treatments. They also partner with registered Australian doctors and surgeons to deliver affordable and effective FUE (follicular unit extraction) hair transplants in a state-of-the-art environment using the best modern equipment.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up. PRP? PRF? What are these treatments you speak of? Some of you might be asking. Allow us to go into more detail. Here’s a closer look at the foremost hair treatments offered by Hair & Skin Science.
PRP Hair Loss Treatment
You’ve been looking to the outside world for hair loss solutions whilst an effective treatment was hiding inside your body all along. That’s the thinking behind PRP hair loss treatment, which uses your blood’s own plasma to help increase follicle count, promote thickness, and extend the hair cycle’s growth stage.
Step one, your blood is collected and then processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets. Step two, the platelet-rich plasma is injected back into areas where your hair is thinning the most and also micro-needled across the entire scalp to promote blood circulation. And that’s a wrap.
Being abundant in white blood cells and growth factors, PRP can relay messages to skin cells to encourage optimal functionality. Meanwhile, the combination of targeted injections and micro-needling can boost blood supply to the follicle, helping to promote hair growth and thicker volume. By using your body’s own blood, there’s no risk of picking up a communicable disease.
PRP treatment works best when you apply it during the early stages of hair loss. There are six overall sessions that take about 30 minutes each and require no time to recover (though some patients have experienced sore scalps on rare occasions). As always, Hair & Skin Science uses registered nurses and doctors for the procedure so book an appointment with an absolute peace of mind…and scalp!
PRF Hair Loss Treatment
Patented and pioneered in the USA, this natural hair loss treatment is available to Aussies exclusively through Hair & Skin Science. The letters PRF stand for “platelet-rich fibrin,” a 100 per cent autologous biomaterial that can contain a much greater concentration of platelets than normal blood. Not only does this biomaterial help with tissue regeneration, but it can also increase the stimulation of osteogenesis and the formation of new blood vessels.
Similar to PRP hair loss treatments, PRF treatments use extracts of your body’s own blood to promote cell growth and tackle hair loss. The process is a little more involved in that it consists of six 40-minute sessions, during which the blood is extracted and cooled and then the PRF liquid is reapplied to designated areas of your scalp.
When undergoing PRF treatment, clients can also opt for 10 minutes of LLLT (low-level laser therapy) to help increase blood flow to the scalp, boost nutrient delivery to the follicles, and reduce the chances of inflammation. Pain and risks are minimal and so is the recovery time and there are no visible signs of either treatment after it’s been performed.
FUE Hair Transplant Treatments
For those who prefer the one-and-done method, FUE aka “follicular unit extraction” may be the hair loss treatment for you. A permanent and natural-looking solution to modern hair loss, the procedure breaks down into two separate techniques.
The first technique is FUE, whereby individual follicles are extracted from one area and then implanted in thinning or balding areas on the scalp. The second is FUT (follicular unit transplantation), during which hairy skin is removed from one area, dissected into grafts, and then implanted in the thinning or balding area.
When undergoing FUE and FUT, you want to be in the best of hands. Hair & Skin Science knows as much and that’s why they cut zero corners and spare no expense. The procedure is only approved after a personal consultation and then performed in a state-of-the-art facility by a registered surgeon, using an advanced NeoGraft hair transplant machine for optimal speed and efficiency.
Expect your treatment to last anywhere from 2 to 8 hours followed by 8-10 weeks of recovery time. New hair growth should begin within a few months though it could take up to a year to see the final results. Say goodbye to bald spots and receding hairlines and hello to a thick head of natural-looking hair.
