Figuring out how to treat your hair loss can feel like an uphill battle full of shame, embarrassment, and frustration. You deserve treatments that deliver real results and won’t be a waste of time. At Geria Dermatology, we offer a wide variety of treatments for hair loss in New Jersey. We have the experience needed to find the right treatment for you.

PRP HAIR RESTORATION

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) hair restoration is the preferred treatment for hair loss at Geria Dermatology. This cutting-edge minimally invasive method of hair restoration involves use of the patient’s own blood to encourage hair growth. The growth factors contained in the blood’s platelets and plasma nourish the follicles.

REVIAN RED

Revian Red is an FDA-approved LED treatment for androgenetic alopecia (also known as androgenic alopecia). This portable wireless cap is paired with an app for mobile devices. It offers comprehensive scalp coverage, unlike LLLT treatments.

Revian uses 620 and 660 nm wavelengths of LED energy to restore cells and enhance nitric oxide. This enhances blood flow to supply more nutrients to follicles and extend the anagen growth phase. The treatment also addresses inflammation and blocks dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Initial results may be evident in 8 to 16 weeks.

ORAL MEDICATIONS

Spironolactone (for women): This medication decreases the rate of male sex hormone (androgen) production. For female patients whose hair loss is caused by androgenic alopecia (female-pattern baldness), this androgen decrease improves hair growth and lowers the rate of hair loss. The medication is classified as an aldosterone receptor antagonist, and it takes around six months to a year to create visible results.

Finasteride (for men): This medication decreases the patient’s level of DHT to slow hair loss and increase hair growth. It should only be used by male patients who are experiencing androgenetic alopecia (male-pattern baldness) in the center of the scalp and at the crown. It must be used at the same time every day, and results may appear in up to three months.
