The folks at doctors of hair specialize in medical hair technology, thump unique options for each individual case. Chances are you see the billboard, youre like maybe i should give you the call. Well give you the first interview right now. Dr. Christopher asandra from doctors of hair. How are you doing . N very well. Lets talk about the different treatments available at your facility. I have had my follicle issues in the past. I love to hear what you got. Sure. Revolutionizing new treatments. One is platelet rich were like stem cell therapy. We draw your own blood, spin it down in a special thing and extract the platelit rich plasma and inject it back into the scalp. It helps it grow back. We combine that with low level laser hair therapy. This low level therapy laser is actually cool. It doesnt hurt at all. Its just a light that shines on your head and that helps regrow back hair. The extreme cases we have something called the neograft hair restoration, like a hair transplants. Unlike the strip method when its the worst. Like a piece of bacon. Yeah. I wouldnt wish that on my worst enemy. They literally strip your hair back and cut it up and put it back in the front. No. We strip each follicle out of the back of the head and place it on the front. What pictures are we looking at right now . Is this the neograft . Yes. This is a case i did one here. Thats only one week afterwards. You can see full results coming up six to nine months. This is a great case i had. You can grafts here. His came in great. We combined that with Platelet Rich Plasma as well. Another patient, its just starting to grow back after two to three months. But hes having great risults. Even looks better now. I think a lot of the reasons people might not do the hair restoration initially is because of that strip, because theyve seen other people get it done with that big scar along the back and theyre like, id rather go bald. Not the case anymore. The technology has come so far. A lot of the treatments that we have to restore hair are very modern and we figured out that you dont need a strip take a big chunk and cut it up to put it in the front now. Revolutionary new treatments that people need to know about. What are some of the reasons people lose hair and how do you determine which treatment is best for who . Great question. So a lot of times women have hormonal issues. They become pregnant, get on medications and age. The hormone imbalances can cause some hair loss in women. Then catch it early enough, we can start with the Platelet Rich Plasma or laser. Men as well. The goal is to remove dht for men and create a healthy environment for the scalp. There are some medications that are for hair trying to essentially you have like almost a coin flip chance whether or not it stops working. Correct. Thats a very good point you have. Which is not fun at all. Right. Platelet rich plasma can almost take its place in the sense that you get this going and then you can just have booster shots, right . Correct. Those medications have a lot of side effects that come with it. Youre inhibiting hormones. If you inhibit your male hormone, whats going to happen . You know what. You know who. We have another this is prp. Four weeks after one treatment. I always suggest starting with three treatments and doing a booster treatment every six months a year. This is four weeks after. You can see the thickening thats come back in the scalp there. Just after about a month. You both can probably attest, this just looks like it would be so encouraging to go in with hair loss and have a result like that. It must feel great. No doubt. When i got my teeth done and my my hair did. There is some of the best decisions i ever made. Your self confidence goes up. I know there werent options for women for many careers. They would wear a hot. There are treatments available that are effective and very modern. Awesome. You have a special today for the morning blend. We do.

They rely so heavily on the partnerships of corporate relationships and businesses that are within our community. We could not do the work that we do without donations that go toward the program, without incentivize staff. As nonprofit, the only way you can say thank you is to say thank you. There is not really much we can get. This is great for us to be able to actually give and say thank you. This week is back to school. Yes. Here in Southern Nevada. A new school year for cif.

Its important to maintain a life balance. Eat right, maintain exercise. Still connect and get away sometimes.
