Hair health is influenced by a diverse range of factors, from aging and nutrition to stress levels and styling methods. While some of these factors aren’t within our control, support is available to help mitigate their consequential effects and promote the growth of strong, healthy hair. At Amélie, many of our patients have seen noticeable improvement in their hair quality and quantity through PRF Injections and taking Nutrafol:
PRF Injections
PRF – platelet-rich fibrin – is collected by drawing the patient’s blood and then separated using a centrifuge. Once the serum is isolated from the blood, it is injected strategically into the scalp, where hair loss or thinning has occurred. PRF injections stimulate blood circulation in the scalp, creating an optimal environment for hair growth. Fibrin acts as a natural binder, holding helpful proteins and nutrients in the optimal location within the scalp. We typically recommend 5 initial rounds of PRF injections spaced every 4 to 6 weeks, with maintenance treatments every 6 to 9 months going forward to see a visible improvement in the quality and growth of your hair.
Nutrafol Supplements
Nutrafol is a line of physician-developed nutraceuticals that promote hair growth. Nutrafol offers generalized and targeted treatments, so you can customize your approach by treating the root of the problem. We love Nutrafol’s lightweight, vegan Hair Serum and their line of supplements – we carry Women, Women’s Balance (specially made for women 45+), Postpartum, and Men. Each formulation is unique and features ingredients such as adaptogens like ashwagandha, tocotrienols (a form of vitamin E), and collagen. Nutrafol is quality-tested, non-GMO, and backed by clinical studies.
Combining these treatments with other lifestyle shifts can help protect and maintain your hair; washing your hair in cool or lukewarm water, using a silk pillowcase, and minimizing heat styling (and using a heat protectant otherwise) are all effective hair care methods. If you are interested in PRF injections, Nutrafol, or would like to schedule a consultation to chat about hair growth, give us a text or call at 503.673.3893!
