What Hair Loss Treatments for Men and Women Can Help? 

Este Medical Group has several successful New York hair loss treatments for consideration. You may have heard of some of them, they include: 

• FUE Hair Transplant 
• Laser Hair Growth
• Mesotherapy 

Hair Transplant

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant is Este Medical Group’s most popular hair loss treatment with males because it’s a very successful solution for extreme hair loss (i.e., baldness). Females can also have FUE treatment, but males do tend to experience more dramatic forms of hair loss, making this the most suitable long-term treatment for them. A FUE hair loss treatment restores hair by replacing old hair follicles with new follicles that are still able to grow hair. 

Although there are many types of hair loss for men, the most common is male pattern baldness. According to the American Hair Loss Association, 95% of male hair loss is from male pattern baldness (a hereditary condition that can also be influenced by hormone levels and aging). Most men who experience male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) will eventually go bald.

Women can also have pattern hair loss. Female pattern baldness usually starts at the top of the head with progressive hair thinning especially along the center hair part with visible thinning. Unfortunately, if not treated the scalp may become more exposed due to less hair volume. Onset has been linked to hormonal changes during menopause, so women in their 40s and 50s are most impacted by this type of hair loss.   

Real Life FUE Transplant Results! 

FUE hair transplantation delivers permanent results. Este Medical Group has the best global reputation for successful hair transplants; you can see real life results of hair loss treatments in the Este photo gallery for men and the Este photo gallery for women. Here’s what you can expect post-treatment: in just five months clients experience visible hair growth (i.e., on average 50% hair growth). And within a year most transplant recipients will experience up to 100% hair growth. 

FUE hair transplants have many benefits — most importantly, hair will look natural and full again. This is a minimally invasive hair transplant treatment; the method of hair transplantation is painless, safe, and causes no linear scarring. Message Este’s Long Island clinic regarding a hair transplant consultation and have your questions about FUE surgery answered. 

Laser Hair Growth

Laser hair growth is a clinically proven treatment that uses low-level laser light to stimulate the scalp’s hair follicles to prompt new hair growth and reduce hair loss. 

It has a success rate of more than 80% and laser hair growth treatment devices have been approved by the FDA for treating male and female pattern hair loss (androgenic alopecia). Laser therapy stimulates hair follicles and their natural growth cycle. Fast results can be expected with this treatment method; you can see results in about four months.   

It is considered a safe and effective hair loss treatment for all genders. For males, this regrowth treatment is best for treating a receding hairline, general thinning, and male pattern baldness. For females, this treatment addresses loss of hair volume, progressively thinning hair along the center part, a more visible scalp, and female pattern baldness. Overall, laser hair growth is an excellent treatment to replenish the scalp with new hair.

Mesotherapy for Hair Loss 

Mesotherapy is a non-surgical microinjection treatment that targets the mesoderm (below the scalp's surface) to halt hair loss and stimulate hair regrowth. The procedure involves a series of tiny microinjections, filled with active ingredients like vitamins, minerals and enzymes, being injected below the scalp's surface. At this depth in the scalp, the treatment solution will stimulate hair follicles to grow hair that is strong and healthy and help to halt hair loss by providing nutrients that improve overall scalp and hair health. 

Mesotherapy is an efficient technique for slowing hair loss and treating alopecia for all genders. With this hair restoration treatment you can expect to see noticeable results in about two to three months. This rejuvenating scalp health and hair loss treatment has many benefits including: hair regrowth, reduced hair loss, and improved blood circulation. Results are not permanent, however regular treatments are very effective and successful; for long lasting results it is generally recommended treatments occur every three months. 

To determine the most optimal mesotherapy treatment timetable we invite you to contact Este New York to arrange a hair loss consultation at Este’s new Long Island clinic.
