- Scalp facial treatment performed live
- Live demonstration of the ARTAS hair transplant robot
- Exciting giveaway of $800 worth of hair care products
- Q&A session answering all of your hair-related questions
Here are some of the key takeaways from the Live event:
ARTAS- The Future of Hair Transplants
During the Live, ARTAS rep Jack joined to explain how this innovative machine works. Viewers were able to watch in real time as the machine sprung to life and demonstrated how a hair transplant works. Aesthetic Scalp prides itself on staying at the forefront of hair restoration, and the practice does so by utilizing the ARTAS robot for FUE hair transplant surgery. This machine preserves the integrity of your scalp and provides a look of a full head of hair through the surgical technique follicular unit extraction (FUE).
PRP Is a Great Non-Surgical Option For Treating Hair Loss
During the live event, both Dr. Shah and Dr. Sameea explained the key benefits of PRP, a non-surgical hair loss solution that involves taking a small amount of the patient’s blood and using a micro needling technique to inject this into the scalp. They mentioned how PRP stimulates new hair growth and helps with thinning hair and hair loss while Aesthetic Nurse/RN Jonathon performed this treatment on a patient in real time.
Key takeaways include:
- PRP is a great option for those wishing to avoid surgery
- We use techniques like numbing and stress balls to minimize discomfort
- Many patients get this treatment in spots where their hair is thinning
Facials Can Help Scalp Health
Next Esthetician Landry performed a Keravive scalp treatment live while sharing important facts about scalp health. This peptide complex treatment is great for cleansing and exfoliating the scalp, extracting impurities from your pores, and hydrating your skin.
Key takeaways include:
- The shampoo, conditioner, and products you put in your hair matter
- Products can build up on the hair follicles and on the scalp
- Keravive is a great technique for removing this buildup and creating healthy hair
Supplements, Hormones, and More
Dr. Shah and Dr. Sameea also sat and chatted during the Live, answering your most pressing hair loss-related questions. A few notable topics include:
Will I permanently lose my hair if I dye it?
The answer is no, as bleaching your hair doesn’t actually cause permanent hair loss. It can, however, severely damage the strands and scalp if overused, leading to breakage and temporary shedding.
Will taking supplements affect hair growth?
Yes! Our office actually sells Nutrafol, a hair care supplement which has been clinically shown to improve hair growth and reduce shedding in both men and women, particularly for those experiencing early-stage thinning due to stress, hormones, or aging.
Will I lose my hair during menopause?
The consensus was- possibly. Hair thinning or shedding is common during menopause due to hormonal changes, especially a drop in estrogen levels. While not everyone experiences noticeable hair loss, it can happen. Treatments are available to help manage it.
