Have you started noticing more hair in your brush, on your pillow, or clogging your shower drain? Are thinning patches or a receding hairline making you feel self-conscious or frustrated? Hair thinning is a common issue that affects millions of people and can impact your confidence and quality of life.
At Facial Plastic Surgery Miami, we understand how important your hair is to your identity and self-esteem. Led by renowned hair restoration specialist Dr. Anthony Bared, our practice offers a range of innovative treatments to combat hair thinning and hair loss. From non-invasive therapies to state-of-the-art hair transplant techniques, you can achieve natural-looking results that give you back the confidence you deserve.
Medical Treatments
Medical treatments like minoxidil (Rogaine) and finasteride (Propecia) are proven to slow hair loss and promote regrowth. Minoxidil, a topical treatment, increases blood flow to hair follicles, encouraging them to produce thicker, longer strands. Finasteride, an oral medication, reduces the production of DHT, a hormone that causes follicle shrinkage in androgenetic alopecia. These treatments are effective and can complement other hair restoration therapies.
Benefits of Medical Treatments:
- Slows the progression of hair loss
- Stimulates regrowth in thinning areas
- Non-invasive and easy to incorporate into daily routines
- Affordable and widely available
- Suitable for both men and women
Low-level Laser Light Therapy (LLLT)
LLLT uses red or near-infrared laser light to stimulate hair follicles and improve cellular activity. Delivered through specialized devices like LaserCaps, this therapy enhances blood flow and nutrient delivery to dormant or weakened hair follicles. The treatment is safe and painless and can be done at home or in a clinical setting. Over time, LLLT can strengthen existing hair and encourage new growth, making it an excellent option for those experiencing active hair loss.
Benefits of Low-level Laser Light Therapy:
- Non-invasive and painless treatment
- Stimulates hair growth and strengthens existing strands
- Convenient for at-home use with portable devices
- FDA-cleared for safety and effectiveness
- Suitable as a stand-alone or complementary therapy
Growth Factor Treatments
Growth factor treatments involve injecting concentrated growth factors derived from your blood into your scalp to promote hair regrowth and healing. These proteins enhance cell regeneration, increase blood flow, and stimulate dormant follicles. Often combined with an activator like ACell, growth factors are particularly effective for slowing hair loss and can be used alone or with surgical procedures to improve outcomes.
Benefits of Growth Factor Treatments:
- Promotes natural healing and regrowth
- Improves hair density and thickness
- Minimally invasive and low-risk
- Can enhance surgical hair transplant results
- Suitable for men and women with various hair loss patterns
Hair Transplant: Follicular Unit Grafting (FUG)
Follicular Unit Grafting, also known as the strip method, involves removing a thin strip of scalp from the back of the head, where hair is resistant to loss. The surgeon extracts individual grafts from this strip and transplants them into thinning or balding areas. This method is ideal for patients seeking a large number of grafts and can produce dense, natural-looking results.
Benefits of FUG:
- Allows for a high number of grafts in one session
- Produces long-lasting, natural results
- Ideal for patients with longer hairstyles
- Minimal visibility of the donor scar with trichophytic closure
- Suitable for restoring hair in larger areas
Hair Transplant: Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
Follicular Unit Extraction is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique where individual follicular units are extracted directly from the scalp using tiny, precise tools. Unlike FUG, FUE doesn’t require a linear incision, leaving only small, dot-like scars that are easily concealed by surrounding hair. This is suitable for patients who prefer shorter hairstyles and want to avoid noticeable scarring.
Benefits of FUE:
- Leaves minimal, inconspicuous scars
- Suitable for patients with short hairstyles
- Enables use of body or beard hair for transplants
- Customizable for small or large areas of hair loss
- Faster recovery compared to strip methods
Hair Transplant: No Shave FUE
No-shave FUE is an advanced variation of the FUE technique in which only small sections of hair are shaved to extract follicles. This allows patients to retain most of their existing hairstyles while undergoing the procedure. The harvested follicles are implanted into thinning areas without compromising the appearance, making this option ideal for professionals or individuals who prefer discretion.
Benefits of No Shave FUE:
- Retains existing hairstyle during and after the procedure
- Minimizes visible signs of surgery
- Suitable for patients requiring fewer grafts
- Provides the benefits of FUE with enhanced discretion
- Ideal for individuals seeking a subtle, natural result
