Treatments for Thinning Hair

At Elite Medi Spa in Bend, we offer specialized treatments tailored to address the challenge of thinning hair. We want to help you regain not only your hair's health but also your confidence. Our treatments are designed to stimulate your scalp's natural ability to grow hair and improve its density.

The best approach to treating hair loss is often a multimodal approach. Here’s a look at the innovative treatments we provide:

SkinPen Microneedling with PRP

PRP microneedling is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure that elevates traditional microneedling by incorporating the healing properties of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP).

What is PRP or Platelet Rich Fibrin?

PRP, derived from your own blood, is rich in growth factors that work in tandem with microneedling’s controlled micro-injuries to stimulate cellular functions that promote hair growth.

How does the treatment work?

A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient and centrifuged to collect a concentrate of platelets and growth factors. This nutrient-rich concentrate is applied topically while the scalp is microneedled.

This combination of microneedling and PRP activates hair follicles, increasing blood supply to them and encouraging the natural hair growth cycle (anagen phase). This can lead to increased hair thickness, density and overall improvement in hair health.

PRP Injections

PRP, derived from your own blood, is rich in proteins called growth factors. When injected into the scalp, PRP delivers a concentrated dose of growth factors that can stimulate hair follicles and prolong the growth phase of the hair cycle. The growth factors in PRP may also help reduce inflammation and improve blood flow to the scalp.

With PRP injections, the concentrated growth factors are delivered more deeply than with a topical application of PRP. This minimally invasive treatment is comfortably done in our med spa.

LED Light Therapy

LED light therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to promote hair growth.

How does LED light therapy work?

LED light therapy penetrates the scalp and stimulates hair follicles by increasing blood flow and oxygen delivery to the hair roots. This enhanced circulation can invigorate dormant hair follicles. It can also help prolong the active growth phase (anagen phase) of the hair cycle, leading to thicker and healthier hair over time.

The light energy absorbed by the cells in the hair follicles boosts the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is essential for cellular energy. This increase in ATP promotes cellular activity and encourages hair growth.

LED light therapy also serves to help reduce inflammation in the scalp. Lower inflammation levels can create a more favorable environment for hair growth and prevent hair loss.

Is LED Light Therapy safe?

LED light therapy is safe and painless, making it a popular option for individuals seeking to enhance hair growth without surgical procedures or significant side effects. It can also be an ideal treatment for those who have had hair restoration surgery to help maintain healthy hair density.

LED Light Therapy can be used in conjunction with our other hair thinning treatments such as PRP microneedling to enhance results.
