The cutting edge of hair restoration

Almost 50% of men will experience some degree of hair loss by the age of 50 and some will start seeing the first signs of hair recess in their early 20s. Like with most things, we take it for granted when it’s there but we miss it once it’s gone. Although hair loss is most common among men, females are affected by it as well. It impacts their psychological wellbeing and it even interferes with their daily lives and activities. The association of a full head of hair with youth and vitality has left many people searching for a solution that truly works and which does not simply provide the false promises that numerous adverts offer.

Getting straight answers about hair loss treatments for men can be almost as frustrating as losing your hair. And since most clinics have only one solution, they’ll do whatever they can to convince you that it’s right for you. The re- ality is that each person’s hair loss is different. Some guys are great candidates for hair transplant surgery, others prefer the lifestyle advantages of the hair replacement process, and some simply aren’t great candidates for any treatment. No matter what kind of hair loss you have, always talk to an expert who has your best interest at heart.

The specialist derma-to-surgeon at Persona Med-Aesthetic Centre in Ta’ Xbiex is at the forefront of hair restoration techniques. Together with his team of specialists, he has successfully performed over 3,000 hair restoration procedures all over the world, using FUE/FUT transplants, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments and cutting edge Stem Cell Therapy.

Stem cell hair growth is a new, safe, and effective method of hair restoration. Many patients are excited to learn that stem cell therapy can be utilized as a stand-alone treatment or in conjunction with hair transplant surgery, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections and topical treatments to maximize results.

The concept of stem cells dates back to 1868 and can today be defined as unique cells that have the ability to grow into several other types of cells. Therefore, stem cells can be considered as the building blocks of the body, providing a blueprint from which other cells are made.

Most recently, it has been discovered that fatty tissues contains rich reservoirs of stem cells that can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including hair loss. In recent years specialists have developed this technique to utilize a patient’s own stem cells for hair restoration.

The procedure is an out-patient one with local anesthesia and a mild oral sedative being given. A very small liposuction procedure is performed on the belly, flanks or “love handles” to obtain the patient’s own fat. A special process is used to isolate and concentrate the stem cells from the fat and these are then injected into the scalp. The area enriched with stem cells becomes extremely fertile, producing new, as well as fuller, thicker hair.

Although stem cell therapy and other hair restoration techniques are not suited for everyone, the latest hair restoration procedures can produce remarkable outcomes for suitable candidates. In Malta, these cutting edge treatments are exclusively performed at Persona Med-Aesthetic Centre. Schedule your Free consultation for April by calling on 2134 0366; email: info@persona.com.mt
