Hair Loss in Atlanta, GA

An individual's hair can create a lasting first impression. Although your hair can seem like a minor detail in the scheme of things, it is natural to make a decision based on the manner in which someone styles or colors their hair, in addition to how much or little hair they have. So whenever someone starts losing their hair, it can be very unnerving. For both men and women, hair loss is something that's tough to accept. Thankfully, with all the modern advances available today in the hair restoration world, your hair loss can be addressed, reversed, and in some cases, restored. Board-certified ENT/facial plastic surgeon Dr. B. Terry Seymour has successfully treated patients from early hair loss to late-stage balding by supplying personalized, patient-specific solutions, allowing for the best cosmetically pleasing results. For more information, contact our Atlanta or Lithonia, GA office to schedule a consultation.

While hair loss is most often associated with men, women also experience thinning hair. There are many reasons someone might lose their hair, including genetics, prescription medications, and certain medical conditions. Treatment at our facility is best for individuals with hair loss who are in otherwise good health and have realistic expectations for their outcomes. Dr. Seymour begins evaluations by asking about the history of your hair loss, then looking into any underlying issues that may be causing or exacerbating the problem. Our staff works with you to create a unique treatment plan that's tailored to your needs.

PRP therapy for hair loss can help you achieve thicker, fuller hair with a host of great benefits, including:

• Uses your body's own healing powers
• Targets the root cause of balding and hair loss
• Achieves natural-looking results
• Treatments are quick and easy
• No medications with possible side-effects
• No surgery
• No scarring
• No long recovery

New advances in surgical and medical practices and technologies have made it feasible for both men and women to slow down their hair loss, reverse, and revive it. ENT Facial Plastics and Sleep Disorder Center provides a variety of innovative treatments, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and hair transplant. For those individuals that require surgery, ENT Facial Plastics and Sleep Disorder Center offers the latest in follicular unit extraction (FUE) and follicular unit transplantation (FUT), which are the most cutting-edge, minimally invasive approaches so far. While 95 – 98% of male pattern hair loss is because of genetics, hormones, and aging, women's hair loss could result from different factors. Because of this, a multi-therapeutic method of combating baldness might be required to slow down or stop hair loss, improve the standard of hair you have, and restore hair that has been lost. We also offer PRP therapy, which is the process of using your own blood to create a platelet-rich plasma serum that will be introduced into areas of the scalp to promote hair growth. PRP can take about 60 minutes while FUE could take much longer. You may notice some scabbing after your treatment, but this should go away within the next few days. It could take a month or so to start seeing results from your hair restoration, but once your new hair starts to grow in, you should notice it is thicker, healthier, and provides you with stunning results.

Is PRP painful?

There may be some discomfort during the procedure, but this goes away quickly. However, the majority of patients do not require a form of sedation for hair loss treatments or PRP in Atlanta or Lithonia, GA. If you are concerned about discomfort, speak with a member of our team so we can provide more details and answer your questions.

How effective is PRP at treating hair loss?

PRP can be used to effectively treat different forms of hair loss, including male pattern baldness. However, results depend on the severity of your hair loss. Patients should also keep in mind that it takes time for new hair follicles to grow. Dr. Seymour will be able to provide some guidance and set expectations during your initial consultation.

How long does PRP hair loss treatment take?

As we mentioned, PRP can take up to 60 minutes, but FUE can take longer. It's important to understand that treatment times can vary from patient to patient, so remember to set aside enough time when you schedule your appointment. We can review the potential risks and benefits in detail so you can make an informed decision.
