Women’s Hair Loss Treatments

Safe, Painless Hair Loss Treatments for Women in New York City

New York City is widely recognized as a global center of business, finance, and fashion, with its influence in these industries extending well beyond the borders of the United States. There are more than 2 million women working in the Big Apple – and these ladies know how to work hard and look good.

But no matter how fashionable or financially secure a woman is, she is not immune to hair loss. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, approximately 40% of women will experience visible hair loss by the age of 40, and the percentage only increases as women get older. By the age of 50, more than half of women will have some degree of hair loss or thinning.

There are several different types of hair loss that can affect women, including androgenetic alopecia (also known as female pattern hair loss), telogen effluvium, and alopecia areata, among others. Each of these conditions has different causes, symptoms, and treatment options. Female hair loss can be caused by genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, medications, pregnancy and even lifestyle factors.

In this article the women’s hair loss experts at Goldenberg Dermatology in New York City discuss the latest technologies that effectively and painlessly treat thinning hair in women – with no surgery or downtime.

PRP for Women’s Hair Loss in New York City

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-surgical treatment that has been used to treat hair loss and promote hair growth in both men and women. The treatment involves taking a small sample of the patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting the platelet-rich plasma back into the patient’s scalp.

The science behind PRP therapy for hair loss is based on the fact that platelets contain growth factors and other proteins that can stimulate cell growth and repair. When the concentrated platelets are injected into the scalp, they promote the growth of hair follicles and improve the overall health and thickness of the hair.

Stem Cell Therapy for Women’s Hair Loss in New York City

Stem cell therapy is another promising new treatment for women’s hair loss that promotes hair growth and improves the health and thickness of the hair. Essentially, stem cells have the ability to develop into many different types of cells, including hair follicle cells.

When injected into the woman’s scalp, the stem cells can then stimulate the growth of hair follicles and promote the growth of new, healthy hair shafts.

Types of Women’s Hair Loss PRP, Stem Cells Can Treat

There are several types of women’s hair loss that PRP and Stem Cells can be used to treat in women. These include Androgenetic Alopecia (female pattern baldness) which is the most common type of hair loss in women. Androgenetic Alopecia is caused by genetic factors that lead to a shrinking of hair follicles and a shorter hair growth cycle.

PRP and Stem Cells are also effective for remedying Telogen Effluvium. This is a temporary form of women’s hair loss that is often caused by stress, hormonal changes, pregnancy, or other factors that disrupt the hair growth cycle.

Alopecia Areata (an autoimmune condition in which the body’s immune system attacks hair follicles) and Traction Alopecia (hair loss caused by tight hairstyles) can also be effectively treated with PRP and Stem Cells hair loss therapy.

Benefits of PRP and Stem Cells Women’s Hair Loss Treatment

PRP and Stem Cells women’s hair loss treatments offer several advantages over other hair restoration procedures. Because they are non-surgical and only minimally invasive, there is no downtime like there is with hair transplant surgery – which can leave the eyes blackened and the face swollen for up to week.

Additionally, hair transplant surgery is very painful. But, thanks to new CoolHealth TargetCool technology available at Goldenberg Dermatology in New York City PRP and Stem Cells hair loss treatments are virtually pain-free. The TargetCool device uses a unique combination of cooling and vibration to numb the treatment area. Applied to the skin simultaneously with the needle, TargetCool desensitizes the skin and reduces pain with ‘cryoanesthesia’ that ensures a comfortable experience.

And, because PRP and Stem Cells are naturally derived from the body’s own cells, there are virtually no known risks or side effects when performed by a trained and experienced dermatologist.

Additionally, while medications like minoxidil and finasteride (Propecia) can be effective at treating hair loss in some women, there are a variety of reasons why some women may not be able to use or prefer not to use these medications. In some patients, minoxidil can cause scalp irritation, itching, and dryness, while finasteride can cause side effects such as decreased libido, depression, and breast tenderness. While these side effects are relatively rare, they can be a concern for some women, especially if they are already dealing with other health conditions or taking other medications.
