TREATMENT

Treatment of Alopecia

The most obvious symptom of alopecia is that you notice that you shed more hair than usual (more than 100 – 200 hairs a day). There are a number of different treatments you can try to get your hair growing again.

Our treatment with PRP has proven to be very effective as a treatment against alopecia. However, PRP is not a permanent solution. The only permanent solution to alopecia that exists is a hair transplant.

You can also try anti-inflammatory steroids or inducing a contact allergy as a treatment for alopecia.
