Hair Loss Treatment

At Dr Allan Aesthetics, we take a holistic approach to dealing with hair loss. Diagnosing, and then addressing the root cause of the hair loss is our priority. Depending on the root cause of your hair loss, we then offer a wide range of treatment options such as topical solution, oral medication, PRP therapy and Exosome mesotherapy/microneedling. Understanding the different types of treatments can empower you to make informed decisions and find solutions that will best suit your needs. 

1. Topical solution – offer you a convenient and non-invasive approach to treating hair loss. These solutions are typically applied directly to the scalp. Some common topical solutions used in NZ for the treatment of hair loss include Minoxidil and Finasteride.
2. Oral medication – play a significant role in treating hair loss, particularly in cases of male pattern baldness and certain medical conditions. Some examples of common prescription oral medications are Finasteride and Dutasteride.
3. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hair loss treatment – is a regenerative therapy that utilises the patient’s own blood to stimulate hair growth. With this hair loss treatment, a small amount of blood is drawn and processed to extract platelets rich in growth factors. The concentrated PRP is then injected into the scalp, targeting areas of hair loss or thinning. These growth factors promote hair follicle regeneration, improve blood circulation, and stimulate dormant hair follicles. PRP treatment is minimally invasive, has a low risk of side effects, and can be used as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with other hair loss therapies.
4. Exosome mesotherapy/microneedling – Exosomes are small nano-sized vesicles that are produced and released by cells in the body. Exosomes contain a variety of molecules including proteins, RNA (ribonucleic acid), lipids (fats) and other bioactive substances. When injected into scalp via mesotherapy or microneedling, Exosomes help the proliferation of hair follicles, accelerate the hair growth cycle, increase hair density, and help protect the follicle cells from damage caused by things like stress and hormones. It is important to note that exosomes are not cells themselves; they are small vesicles released by cells and are incapable of reproduction or transformation. They are cell-free, DNA-free and their main function is to influence other cells giving them a favourable safety profile.
