Laser Phototherapy for Healthier Looking Hair
The LaserCap
The LaserCap was recently introduced at the ISHRS conference in late 2010.
Dr. Chao has found this to be the best and most effective laser treatment and now recommends the LaserCap in every consultation. The LaserCap is simple to use and benefits from photo laser therapy will appear much sooner. The use of the LaserCap will also greatly enhance the post operative results of the hair transplant procedure. Contact us to find out more information on the LaserCap.

Your hair is no different. The end result of using Laser Phototherapy is that the appearance and condition of your hair will flourish and you will feel good about your hair again.
Supplementary Treatments
Acell
Acell is an extracellular matrix that has been proven safe by the FDA and approved for wound healing and represents the latest technology to improve the results of hair transplants. It works by acting as a scaffolding to promote stem cells and growth factors. This can not only improve healing after surgery but can often significantly increase the hair count in transplant patients.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a revolutionary treatment used to regenerate hair growth. PRP is blood that has been concentrated with platelets. These concentrated platelets contain proteins and growth factors, which help increase circulation to the hair follicles, stimulate the follicles to grow, and even thicken the hair shaft. It is believed that the introduction of platelets and white blood cells through Platelet Rich Plasma can actually stimulate the growth of follicles, thereby reversing hair miniaturization seen in androgenetic alopecia and even preventing hair loss.

Minoxidil is the only medication approved by the FDA to stimulate the regrowth of hair for those men and women who have a hereditary tendency for pattern baldness or hair loss. Minoxidil was first approved as a prescription medication for treating high blood pressure conditions (and is sold as tablets for that purpose under the Loniten brand name). Minoxidil is now also sold as a scalp lotion under the brand name Rogaine. Rogaine topical lotion is 2% and also 5% minoxidil in a solution of water, alcohol, and propylene glycol.
