Hair Loss

Dr. Noll can assist those patients, who would like to start treating their hair loss with prescription medications. In addition to the over-the-counter topical medications, there are highly effective oral (by mouth) prescription medications available to help with hair loss. We recommend scheduling a medical appointment with Dr. Noll to determine if you are a candidate for these medications.

We offer Viviscal Professional. It is only available through professional clinics. It contains a proprietary marine complex, AminoMarC in a higher concentration than other Viviscal products, including Extra Strength, that are available online and in drugstores. It also contains three additional ingredients not found in the non-professional strength: Apple extract (Procyanidin B-2), L-Cysteine, and L-Methionine. Taken twice daily, patients typically see results as early as three months.

AminoMarC is a marine-derived blend of amino acids, Vitamine B, C, calcium, and other minerals clinically proven to improve hair growth.

Apple Extract (Procyanidin B-2) promotes healthy hair growth by encouraging the hair follicles to leave the resting phase (Telogen) and enter the growth phase (Anagen) resulting in an increase in the diameter and density of the hair.

L-Cysteine enhances keratin production, the major component of hair, plays an important role in strengthening the hair by creating bonds that hold keratin strands together, and assists in maintaining moisture in the hair resulting in improved hair texture and thickness.

L-Methionine plays a vital role in the production of keratin. It is also a source of cysteine. Adequate levels of L-methionine are essential for hair production and strength.

PRP is isolated from a blood sample drawn from the patient and injected into the scalp in areas of hair loss or hair thinning. Growth factors contained within the PRP promote the growth of hair follicles. PRP has also been shown to improve blood supply, bringing more nutrients to the hair follicles and reducing inflammation. Together these changes increase hair growth and improve the health of the hair follicles.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments for hair growth is a safe and effective medical procedure that uses the growth factors in your blood to stimulate hair growth.

1. Blood Collection: The process begins by drawing a small amount of your blood, typically from the arm.
2. Processing: The collected blood is then placed into a centrifuge that spins the blood and separates the blood into its different components and allows for isolation of the growth factor-rich platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
3. Application: The enriched PRP is then injected into the scalp to stimulate hair growth.

Hair Follicle Stimulation: PRP is injected into your scalp in areas where your hair is thinning or receding. The growth factors in PRP stimulate the hair follicles, which are tiny structures in your skin that produce hair. This can help promote hair growth and make your existing hair thicker and healthier.

Preventing Hair Loss: PRP can also be used as a preventive measure to stop further hair loss. By nourishing the hair follicles and improving blood flow to the scalp, PRP can help maintain your current hair and slow down hair thinning.

PRP treatments for hair growth use your body’s growth factors, reducing the risk of allergic reactions. However, results can vary from person to person, and multiple sessions are typically needed.
