Hair loss can be distressing and may occur due to various factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress and medical conditions. While medications and surgical treatments are commonly used, several physical therapies have gained popularity for their effectiveness in promoting hair regrowth and improving scalp health.

What are the physical therapies for hair loss?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy

PRP therapy involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting it into the scalp. Platelets contain growth factors that help stimulate hair follicles, encouraging hair growth and improving hair density. PRP is often used as a stand-alone treatment or in combination with other therapies.

Low-Level Laser Light therapy (LLLT)

LLLT uses red or near-infrared light to stimulate hair follicles at a cellular level. This non-invasive treatment increases blood circulation to the scalp, reduces inflammation and promotes hair regrowth. LLLT can be performed in a clinical setting or using at-home laser devices designed for regular use.

Microneedling

Microneedling involves using a device with fine needles to create micro-injuries in the scalp. These small punctures trigger the body’s natural healing response, increasing collagen production and enhancing blood flow to hair follicles. Microneedling is often used alongside PRP or topical treatments to boost their effectiveness.

Tricopat treatment

Tricopat is an advanced scalp treatment that combines microneedling with specially formulated topical solutions to rejuvenate the scalp and promote hair growth. It enhances the absorption of active ingredients, nourishes hair follicles, and strengthens hair strands. Tricopat is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing thinning hair or early-stage hair loss.

How effective are these treatments?

The effectiveness of physical therapies for hair loss varies based on individual factors, such as the cause and severity of hair loss. In many cases, combining treatments can lead to better results. Consulting a specialist can help determine the most suitable therapy for each patient.

Physical therapies provide promising, non-invasive options for managing hair loss and stimulating hair regrowth. Regular treatment and maintenance, along with a healthy lifestyle, can significantly improve hair health and density.
