Men’s hair restoration: Stimulating hair growth without surgery
By age 35, it’s estimated that two out of every three American men have noticeable hair loss. By age 50, around 85% of men have significant hair loss. While common, thin hair and bald patches do not have to be in your future as you age. When seeking out “men’s hair restoration services near me in Fremont and Perrysburg, Ohio,” it’s important to understand that by partnering with a highly-qualified and experienced Board-certified medical and cosmetic dermatologist, Dr. Hope Mitchell, your hair and confidence can be restored without the risk and undesirable qualities long associated with traditional hair restoration services. Mitchell Dermatology also welcomes and cares for a diverse range of patients. So, you benefit from our broad perspective and firsthand knowledge of so many different skin and hair types.
So, I don’t need to have surgery?
Historically, options for hair restoration have been aggressive. Treatments such as hair transplants can be a painful (and painstaking) process that may result in an unnatural-looking hairline. With advancements in hair restoration science and technology, Dr. Mitchell stimulates hair regrowth and supports natural results without the discomfort, lengthy treatment and healing, and risk of scarring, infection, and bleeding associated with the likes of conventional hair transplants. In fact, your journey to more, thicker, quality hair may start with well-placed, minimally invasive scalp injections.
What is injectable hair restoration?
We use Platelet-Rich Plasma derived from your own blood to trigger hair regrowth and to thicken the hair follicles. PRP is a powerful, natural substance that contains growth factors that are known for their tissue-regenerating and wound healing properties. We introduce PRP to areas on the scalp where hair has thinned. PRP hair restoration is largely tolerated well by patients with local anesthesia. So, you shouldn’t feel any discomfort as the injections are made to the areas of the scalp that could use the restoration the most.
Is PRP right for me?
Dr. Mitchell has had great success treating patients with more modest thinning at the temples, as well as those patients with more generalized hair loss. It is important to exercise patience because hair grows in cycles, and your results following treatment also depend on factors such as the type of alopecia that is responsible for your hair loss. Those with non-scarring alopecia (where follicles remain intact and are not permanently damaged) may see improvements as soon as a few weeks post-treatment. The type of hair loss also influences your suitability for treatment. During a consultation, Dr. Mitchell will also discuss your goals and preferences for treatment to determine the best approach for you. How your body responds to certain treatments can also influence her recommendations for treatment or the next steps forward in this process.

What other options are available?
We recommend corticosteroids that suppress the immune response associated with alopecia and hair loss. These medications may be applied as injections to the scalp, too. Minoxidil is another medication that works by improving circulation and extending the phase where hairs are actively growing (the anagen phase). Dr. Mitchell also uses the multi-faceted Nutrafol® system. Nutrafol® supplements are designed to treat different root causes of hair loss, effectively addressing everything from hormonal imbalances to stress and inflammation.
You don’t have to hide your thinning hair under a ballcap any longer, nor do you have to feel self-conscious about “holding on” to the hair on the sides of your head as the crown thins.
