The Science Behind Hair Loss

Hair loss is a common issue that affects both men and women as they age, influenced by factors such as genetics, stress, smoking, and hormonal changes.

The hair follicle growth cycle includes 3 stages: anagen, catagen, and telogen. During the anagen phase, hair grows approximately 1 cm each month. In the catagen phase, the hair detaches from its blood supply, and in the telogen phase, it finally releases from the follicle.

Featured Treatments

PRP (Platelet-rich plasma therapy) works by injecting the patient’s scalp with their own platelet-rich plasma. This treatment can have a pronounced effect on hair growth and thickness.

Providers use AquafirmeXS to infuse essential nutrients, growth factors, and revitalizing solutions into the scalp. Results show stimulated circulation, nourished hair follicles, and new hair growth.

DE/RIVE uses the power of botanical exosomes to rejuvenate and stimulate hair follicles without pain, needles, or downtime. Plant exosomes are derived from stem cells and help revive dormant cells, such as those in the scalp.

Revian Cap is an FDA cleared LED wearable hat that stimulates the production and release of nitric oxide, proven to help with hair loss.

  • Drink plenty of water and eat a healthy meal before your treatment to help prepare your blood for the PRP process.

AquafirmeXS

  • Arrive with a clean scalp, and refrain from using products such as hair sprays, gels, or serums on the day of treatment.
  • Minimize your scalp’s sun exposure for a few days prior to treatment.

DE/RIVE

What to Expect

At the Dermatology Center of McKinney, the team begins each hair loss treatment journey with a thorough consultation to assess scalp health, review medical history, and understand aesthetic goals.

During this initial meeting, Dr. Ralston will discuss the range of effective treatment options available to the patient. Depending on their specific needs, he may recommend combining treatments, such as PRP therapy with AquafirmeXS, to maximize results and achieve a fuller, denser head of hair.

Treatment Procedures:

PRP: This procedure starts with the collection of a small blood sample from the patient’s arm. This sample is then processed in a centrifuge to collect platelet-rich plasma. A solution made up of PRP is injected into targeted areas of the scalp to stimulate hair regrowth and increase hair density.

AquafirmeXS: This treatment uses 3 specialized Aquafirme attachments to enhance scalp health and hair vitality:

  1. The EXO handpiece vibrates the outer layer of the skin to promote blood flow and enhance circulation in the scalp.
  2. The EVO handpiece vacuums the scalp to remove dead cells and debris, preparing the skin for treatment.
  3. The Ultrasound handpiece delivers a restorative dose of nourishing serums deep into the hair follicles to revitalize and strengthen hair.

DE/RIVE: Session include the application of a concentrated dose of DE/RIVE directly to the scalp, which is massaged deeply into the hair follicles to maximize absorption. Following the in-office treatment, patients receive a 30-day supply of DE/RIVE to continue treatment at home, ensuring ongoing nourishment and follicle stimulation.

Revian Cap: Utilizing advanced LED technology, the Revian Cap promotes hair growth by emitting a specific wavelength of red light that stimulates cellular activity and increases blood circulation in the scalp. This treatment is noninvasive and fast with most sessions lasting around 10 minutes.
