- Specialty hair loss shampoos
- Microneedling (PRP)
- Hair implants
- KeraLase laser hair restoration treatments
There are several specialty hair loss shampoos on the market. Expensive hair loss shampoos may or may not work. Some of them give the illusion of thicker or fuller hair, but it is generally not a long-lasting effect. Of course, you may find a shampoo that does work for you, so don’t discount these. Women with thinning hair may want to use a shampoo that volumes the hair.
Micro needling can work although it is painful and there is speculation as to its effectiveness. You should do your own research on this prior to starting PRP microneedling treatments for the scalp. Often your plasma is lacking the growth factors it needs to stimulate growth – which is why your hair is thinning in the first place. Between this, and the damage microneedling can do to existing hair, this kind of treatment is not on our recommended list.
Hair implants for women can also be performed. The expense, pain, and downtime are enough to prevent many men and women from undergoing hair implant surgery. Though hair implants are still an option, this is more recently being replaced with non-invasive hair restorative treatments. These new treatments are offered for men and women, and are not surgical, while still having excellent results. For example, KeraLase is a fairly new and extremely effective alternative to stimulate hair growth. Combining laser and serum treatments for the scalp is excellent for female pattern baldness, sudden hair loss, menopausal hair loss, or in most cases, with general hair loss and hair thinning in women.
