Hair thinning and hair loss can have many causes, which is why effective treatment often requires more than a single procedure or product. At Vega Vitality, our approach to hair restoration begins with understanding the pattern of hair loss and developing a personalized treatment plan designed to support scalp health, strengthen existing hair, and promote an environment for healthier hair growth.
Rather than relying on one treatment alone, our hair restoration programs may combine scalp treatments, microneedling with PRP, red light therapy, nutritional support, and prescription medications when medically appropriate.
Treatment is individualized based on your pattern of hair loss, medical history, goals, and response over time.
Hair growth occurs in cycles, and a variety of factors can disrupt those cycles or gradually affect the hair follicle.
Common contributors to thinning hair include genetics, hormonal influences, aging, nutritional factors, stress, certain medical conditions and medications.
One of the most common causes is androgenetic alopecia, often referred to as male- or female-pattern hair loss. Other forms of hair loss may require a different approach or additional medical evaluation.
Identifying the likely cause of hair loss is therefore an important part of deciding which treatments are appropriate.
Hair restoration at Vega Vitality may incorporate several complementary therapies rather than relying on a single intervention.
Your treatment plan may include:
Keravive is a scalp-focused HydraFacial treatment designed to cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the scalp.
We often use Keravive at the beginning of a hair restoration program to address scalp buildup and create a healthier scalp environment before beginning subsequent treatments.
Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is prepared from a patient’s own blood and contains concentrated platelets and growth factors.
During treatment, microneedling creates controlled microchannels in the scalp, and PRP is applied to the treatment area. This approach combines the regenerative response associated with microneedling with autologous platelet-derived growth factors.
Depending on the treatment plan, PRP may also be delivered by injection into selected areas of the scalp.
Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation or low-level light therapy, uses specific wavelengths of light to interact with tissue without generating the thermal injury associated with a laser procedure.
It can be incorporated into a broader hair restoration program as a noninvasive adjunct to other therapies.
Adequate nutritional support is important for normal hair growth.
Depending on individual needs, we may recommend targeted supplementation such as Viviscal® as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Supplements are not a substitute for evaluating potentially correctable nutritional or medical causes of hair loss when those are suspected.
For appropriate patients, prescription therapy can be an important component of hair restoration.
Treatment may include medications such as minoxidil, finasteride, or spironolactone, depending on the patient’s sex, pattern of hair loss, medical history, reproductive considerations, and other individual factors.
Because these medications have different indications, risks, and contraindications, prescription treatment requires medical evaluation and individualized decision-making.
Hair restoration may be appropriate for men and women experiencing:
Earlier intervention can sometimes provide more opportunity to preserve existing follicles than waiting until substantial hair loss has occurred.
Not every type of hair loss should be treated cosmetically. Sudden, patchy, inflammatory, scarring, or otherwise unexplained hair loss may warrant additional medical or dermatologic evaluation.
Hair restoration results develop gradually.
Changes in shedding, hair quality, or density may become noticeable over several months, while continued improvement may require ongoing treatment and maintenance.
Response varies considerably according to the underlying cause and duration of hair loss, the health of existing follicles, treatment selection, and individual biology.
For many patients, the goal isn’t simply to stimulate new growth. Preserving existing hair and slowing progressive thinning can also be meaningful treatment outcomes.
Hair loss isn’t the same for every patient, and we don’t believe hair restoration should be either.
At Vega Vitality, we combine medical evaluation with procedural and supportive therapies to create an individualized approach to thinning hair. Your plan may incorporate HydraFacial Keravive, microneedling with PRP, red light therapy, nutritional support, and prescription treatment when appropriate.
Hair restoration consultations are available at our Boston and Cary, North Carolina locations.
PRP has been studied as a treatment for certain forms of hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia. Results vary, and PRP is generally most appropriately considered as one component of a broader treatment strategy rather than a guaranteed solution for every type of hair loss.
Treatment protocols vary. A series of treatments is commonly recommended initially, followed by reassessment and potentially maintenance treatments depending on response.
Yes. Although men and women can experience similar forms of hair loss, patterns, hormonal influences, medication options, and reproductive considerations can differ substantially. Treatment should therefore be individualized.
Not necessarily. Prescription treatment depends on the likely cause and pattern of your hair loss, medical history, goals and preferences. When appropriate, medication can complement procedural treatments rather than replace them.
Hair restoration treatments depend on the presence of viable hair follicles. Areas where follicles have been lost or significantly miniaturized for a prolonged period may respond less effectively than areas of earlier thinning. This is one reason earlier evaluation can be beneficial.
Hair loss is often an ongoing biological process. Maintaining improvements may therefore require continued treatment, medication, light therapy, or other maintenance strategies depending on the underlying cause.
You don’t necessarily need to wait for advanced hair loss. Earlier evaluation can be useful because many treatments are aimed partly at supporting and preserving existing follicles before substantial progression occurs.
