The Journey to Hair Restoration

-By Katlyn Richardson, RN

Many of us start to notice a change in our hair as we progress through life, showing us how our daily choices have had an impact on the overall health of our hair. The journey to healthier hair is never a “one size fits all” journey, but rather one that we at the Quatela Center can tailor specifically to your needs. We are here to help you every step of the way.

First Things First

When you start to notice hair loss or thinning to your existing hair, there are many non-pharmacological steps you can take to improve your scalp and hair health:

• Increase your water intake – hydrated skin and hair are healthy skin and hair
• Include the following into your daily diet:
  • Omega 3 fatty acids
  • Increased protein
  • Vitamins A, V, B
  • Iron
  • Zinc
  • Cinnamon
• Take over-the-counter supplements available at Q the Medical Spa:
  • Nutrafol
  • Sugarbear® Hair vitamins
• Use hair-strengthening products:
  • Tricomin Clinical shampoo, conditioner, and energy spray

How We Can Help

If these aren’t giving you the improvements that you desire, it may be time to reach out to our Patient Consultants and discuss the other options that are available. You can schedule a consultation with one of our hair restoration surgeons to discuss:

• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment regimen
• Prescription medications (both oral and topical) that target hair loss
• KeraLase hair revitalization treatment regimen (available at Q Med Spa)
• Candidacy for hair restoration surgery

Here at the Quatela Center, we can target the root causes of your hair loss and create a customized treatment plan that fits your lifestyle and helps give you the results you desire. The available treatment options can be done independently or in conjunction with other treatments, allowing for a personalized plan for each patient’s needs. Hair restoration is a journey, but luckily not a journey you have to take alone!
