Female hair loss is a topic that can be difficult to discuss, but it’s a common issue that affects some 50% of women in the US at some point in their lives. While it can certainly be frustrating and negatively affect your self-esteem, the good news is that you can choose from a range of hair restoration solutions at Shapiro Medical.

Rogaine

Rogaine, generic name Minoxidil, is a popular medication for hair loss. It’s applied directly to the scalp and works by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles, stimulating hair growth. This treatment is ideal for those who are experiencing minimal hair loss and looking for a way to manage or stop any ongoing hair loss. This topical treatment is a great way to get a jump-start on hair growth and regrowth.

Laser Therapy

This treatment is a non-invasive option that uses low-level laser light to enhance blood flow to the hair follicles, stimulating hair growth and helping to reverse the effects of hair loss. Many women have reported an improvement in the thickness and volume of their hair, as well as a reduction in hair loss. 

Laser therapy is also a great option for busy women, as there is no downtime and no risk of side effects. You can enjoy the benefits of laser therapy right at the comfort of your home. 

PRP + ACell Therapy

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) + Acell therapy is a cutting-edge treatment option that harnesses the power of your own blood to stimulate hair growth and reverse the effects of hair loss. 

PRP+Acell therapy is also a great option for those who want to target specific areas of hair loss, such as thinning hair or a receding hairline. The treatment is customized to each individual’s needs, and it’s tailored to give you the best possible results.

FUE and FUT Hair Transplant

For those experiencing more severe hair loss, a hair transplant may be the best option. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant is a method that involves extracting individual hair follicles from a donor site and transplanting them to the area experiencing hair loss. 

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) hair transplant, on the other hand, involves removing a strip of scalp from the back of the head, from which individual hair follicles are extracted and transplanted to the area experiencing hair loss. 

Both options are recommended for those who are seeking a long-term solution and restoring their hair permanently.
