Raleigh Medical Spa Provides Alopecia Treatment for Women and Men
Blue Water Spa, a plastic surgery medical spa in Raleigh, offers platelet rich fibrin, PRF, as a treatment for Alopecia or hair loss in women and men. PRF is a proven treatment for hair growth that is applied to the scalp where hair loss has been experienced. This treatment uses the body’s own stem cells to generate new hair growth and thicken hair.
Alopecia, a medical term for baldness, is a hair loss condition not immune to celebrity status as Jada Pinkett Smith, Jennifer Lopez, and Sandra Bullock all have shared their struggles with hair loss. Alopecia can present itself as circular patches of hair loss that can fall out in clumps or general thinning of hair, taking an emotional as well as aesthetic toll on patients.
PRF treatments at Blue Water Spa in Raleigh and Brier Creek, uses the body’s own stem cells to stimulate collagen production, tissue regeneration, and hair regrowth. During a PRF treatment, the patient’s blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge. This process separates the platelet-rich fibrin from the rest of the blood. Blue Water Spa is owned and operated by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Law, who oversees all treatments on-site and practices via Blue Water Plastic Surgery.
Patients generally have to receive this treatment four times before seeing optimum results and are advised to have a maintenance treatment every six to twelve months after the initial series of treatments. When this treatment plan is followed, the success rate is close to 80%.
The causes of alopecia in women can be due to stress, aging, hormonal changes, or genetics. Long term use of hair extensions and braids can also be a cause of alopecia. While some women and men embrace the beauty of a bald style, it may not come after a prolonged
emotional acceptance, embarrassment, and discomfort from the drastic change in their appearance.
Many women and men have experienced alopecia due to stress related to the pandemic. Until recently, women with alopecia often wore wigs or sometimes would wash their hair daily and try to cover bald spots with hair spray, or even hair color for the scalp.
