Hello as I know, people are employing LLLT to help with sports-related sprains. I'm curious how could this approach also be effective for managing hair loss problems?

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes low-power lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to deliver light energy into the body. It is suggested that LLLT works by stimulating cellular activity and enhancing blood flow, which could assist in reducing pain, alleviating inflammation, and promoting healing.Not only is it used for sports-related sprains, but LLLT has also been employed to treat a wider variety of conditions, including:Pain: Evidence suggests that LLLT is effective in alleviating pain from various conditions, including chronic pain, arthritis, and muscle strains.Inflammation: LLLT can contribute to reducing inflammation and swelling by augmenting blood flow and decreasing the production of inflammatory chemicals.Wound healing: LLLT can facilitate wound healing by enhancing blood circulation and stimulating the generation of new cells.Hair loss: Studies have shown that LLLT can stimulate hair growth in individuals with androgenetic alopecia, also known as pattern baldness.Sports injuries: LLLT can be utilized to expedite recovery from sports-related injuries, such as sprains and strains.Muscle soreness: LLLT can aid in minimizing muscle soreness following exercise.Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ): LLLT can assist in reducing pain and inflammation in individuals with TMJ disorder.Oral mucositis: LLLT can help prevent and treat oral mucositis, a painful condition that may occur in individuals undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

LLLT Usage in Hair Loss

After experiencing a cosmetic surgery operation, is it possible to use Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to possibly quicken the healing process and decrease swelling?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) has been used in various fields of medicine to aid in the healing and recovery process, and it may potentially have similar benefits following cosmetic surgery. PRP is a concentration of platelets in plasma obtained from a patient's own blood. Platelets are cells that play a crucial role in blood clotting and wound healing, as they release growth factors and proteins that promote tissue repair and regeneration. After cosmetic surgery, PRP could theoretically be applied to the surgical site to enhance wound healing and reduce inflammation, potentially leading to quicker recovery and less swelling. There is no established consensus on the efficacy of PRP in enhancing recovery after cosmetic surgery, and the available research provides mixed results. Some studies suggest potential benefits, while others find no significant difference when compared with standard post-operative care. PRP's role in healing after cosmetic surgery could depend on a range of factors, including the type of surgery, the individual patient's healing capacity, and the specific PRP preparation and application methods. As with any medical procedure, there are also potential risks, such as infection, and the costs can be significant. If you're considering PRP as part of your recovery plan following cosmetic surgery, it's essential to consult with your surgeon can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation.

What can I do to expedite hair growth in the gap or the surrounding area?

Growing hair quickly in that gap isn't feasible, but you can consider a hair transplant for forehead reduction, addressing a receding hairline, and correcting asymmetry in your frontal hairline/forelock. I recommend considering an FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) procedure, as it can achieve your desired hairline in a single session through dense packing hair transplantation.

What can I do to expedite hair growth in the gap or the surrounding area?

I underwent my first PRP hair treatment approximately 13 days ago, and I'm currently experiencing swelling around and under my eyes. Is this a typical side effect of the procedure? I received my first PRP hair treatment 13 days ago. During the procedure, the doctor administered anesthesia in the form of a ring and made multiple PRP injections in the crown area. On the second day, I experienced pain in the treated area. I initially tried Tylenol, but it didn't provide relief, so I took one 400 mg Advil pill. Three days ago, I noticed significant swelling on my forehead (please refer to the attached photos), and I took 60 mg of prednisone. In the evening, I observed that the swelling had shifted to my nose bridge and the area around my eyes. Is this a normal reaction, and what might be the cause? Thank you for your assistance.

it is unlikely to see any swelling just 2 weeks after the PRP treatment .. Local anesthetic caused edema may happen just 1-2 days after treatment . it is better to have an appointment with your doc again to reevaluate the case.

Is this a typical side effect of the procedure?

I've been undergoing successful immunotherapy for lung cancer, receiving a total of seven Pembrlizumab treatments. I'm wondering if it's safe to consider PRP treatment for both my hair and face to boost my self-esteem. I appreciate your attention to my query and look forward to your response.

Is it possible to experience swelling years after a hair transplant?

I don't believe this is related to swelling; it might be diffuse fibrosis in the deeper layers of the skin. A scalp biopsy would likely provide the accurate diagnosis. Massaging with topical cortisone creams and/or applying silicone gel may help alleviate some of the fibrosis. If these measures prove ineffective, steroid injections could be considered as an option.

Is it possible to experience swelling years after a hair transplant?

I'm 28 years old and have been dealing with male pattern baldness (MPB), resulting in significant hair loss on the top of my head. It's been a month since I had a hair transplant, and the transplanted hair was taken from the donor area, which is DHT-resistant. I'm considering using steroids for bodybuilding, but I'm concerned about their potential impact on my transplanted hair. The transplantation covered the entire upper head area, including the crown.

Steroids are not safe to use if you don’t have the recommendation of a doctor. If you are genetically predisposed to androgenetic alopecia, your body already has higher levels of DHT than it needs – taking steroids is known to produce more DHT, which, in turn can accelerate male pattern baldness. Steroids will not cause hair loss, but they will play a large part in drastically increasing your hair loss if you already have male pattern baldness. In theory transplanted hair follicles will be safe from DHT and high amounts of androgens. Nevertheless, you should consider that your remaining native hair follicles may not be resistant to DHT and may undergo hair loss if DHT is allowed to "attack" them. If those remaining hairs undergo miniaturization, you may require another hair transplant surgery.

Does taking high doses of Biotin lead to accelerated hair growth?

You can use LLLT or vitamin+mineral complex tablets like viviscal or perfectil .Biotin alone ,daily use is safe but the effect in compare with vitamin complex tablets its lower.

Does taking high doses of Biotin lead to accelerated hair growth?

I began experiencing hair loss from my eyebrows. All of my blood tests have yielded normal results, and I've received diagnoses from two dermatologists attributing it to stress-induced telogen effluvium (TE) in conjunction with seborrheic dermatitis. The latter condition is currently under treatment and has improved to a very mild state. Alongside the recommended PRP therapy, I'm contemplating the use of LDN (low-dose naltrexone). Some sources suggest it may be beneficial for certain types of alopecia and also for general immune function, which is often linked to various forms of hair loss. However, I've come across patient accounts reporting hair loss after starting LDN. I'm concerned about the potential risk of LDN exacerbating my hair loss.

There is limited information on the relationship between low dose naltrexone (LDN) and hair loss in women. There have been some reports of hair loss in individuals taking naltrexone, but it is not a common side effect. Additionally, the few studies that have investigated the use of LDN in women have not reported hair loss as a side effect. It's important to note that hair loss can have many different causes, including hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, stress, and underlying medical conditions. If you are experiencing hair loss while taking LDN, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional who can assess your individual situation and provide guidance on the best course of action. They may recommend adjusting your dosage, switching to a different medication, or exploring other potential causes of your hair loss.

Is it possible for low-dose Naltrexone to lead to hair loss in women?

Since Betnovate is a steroid cream, I'm uncertain whether it might have any effect on the success rate of the FUE procedure.

Using Betnovate scalp cream, which contains the steroid betamethasone, after an FUE hair transplant procedure to reduce redness may not be recommended without consulting your doctor or the surgeon who performed the procedure. Although topical steroids like Betnovate can help reduce inflammation and redness, they can have side effects including skin thinning, delayed wound healing and possibly interference with the healing process after a surgical procedure. It is feared that using steroid creams too soon after a hair transplant procedure may affect the success rate of the FUE procedure by potentially interfering with the healing of the donor and recipient areas. Your healthcare provider may recommend alternative topical treatments or methods to manage redness and inflammation after your hair transplant surgery that are safer and more suitable for the healing process.

Is it safe to apply Betnovate scalp cream three weeks after an FUE procedure to help reduce redness?

Is it acceptable to wear wigs following PRP treatments, and could wearing wigs impact the hair regrowth process?

Hello, Thank you for your question. Wearing a wig will not affect on hair loss, the only period you should not wear a wig is after hair transplant for 3-4 weeks post operative, and of course not for the long period.

Hello, I underwent my first PRP hair treatment session two weeks ago, and I've observed an increase in hair shedding. Is this a typical occurrence after the initial session?

Hair loss that you have mentioned does not seem to have any correlation with the PRP.General growth cycle for hair is 6-8 weeks so there should be another reason beneath your hair loss problem . If you started or quit any hair loss treatment lately please consider that as a high potential reason.

I am now six weeks post-op and still experiencing redness in my recipient area. Are there any effective creams, ointments, or lotions that you can recommend to help alleviate this issue? Thank you.

First of all you should visit your doctor as soon as possible.In my practice I advice Topical Steroids to slow down such redness.

What are some recommended creams or lotions for promoting healing in the recipient area after a FUE procedure?

Hello! I have extremely fine hair, and I have a distinctive heart-shaped hairline on my forehead with sparse hair coverage. I'm not sure how to describe it more precisely. My hair also tends to shed frequently. Is there a surgical procedure that can enhance the fullness and thickness of my hair? Furthermore, when I part my hair down the middle, particularly at the crown, it appears noticeably thin. I'm not interested in using extensions; my goal is to make my natural hair look more voluminous, as it currently appears very flat. Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide!

You should visit a physician to be sure with your hair loss.On the other hand I can assure you that there is no such surgery that can increase the hair thickness but Lase Comb and LLLT can help. If you share your photos that would help.

Are there surgical procedures that can increase hair thickness?

I have been experiencing hair loss for the past three years. What are the available options for me?

Thanks for submitting your photos. Based on them your corners (temples and hairline) needs a treatment. You can try to use some medications like Propecia,Saw Palmetto,Biotin etc. If you start with one of them so a permanent use of 1 year will give you a result but lost grafts will not come back. Another options will be PRP injections and Low Level Laser Therapy.The last option will be a hair transplantation.

Can PRP assist in reducing my under-eye circles? If it's a viable option, I'd like to find a specialist nearby. If PRP isn't suitable, what alternative treatments would you recommend? I understand that surgery may be a long-term solution, but could you provide an estimate of the cost?

Hi, The short answer is "No". The long answer is: PRP's main mechanism of action is by stimulating collagen synthesis by some cytokines. It is good to combine PRP treatments with some sort of injury to the skin, namely microneedling with or without radiofrequency. By doing this you may incite a regenerative response and it will result in a tighter, fresher, and healthier skin with few micro-wrinkles. It won't help with lower eyebags. Your most obvious problem is your eyebags which should be addressed by a transconjunctival or conventional lower blepharoplasty, you also have prominent arcus marginalis (lower border of tear troughs) which requires a release combined with suspension and minor fat injection.

Mehmet Surmeli

Could PRP be effective in treating my under-eye bags? I'm exhausted from constantly appearing tired!

I'm a 21-year-old woman, and I had my first PRP treatment on February 28, 2018. I've completed five sessions so far and am scheduled for my sixth one on July 19. However, I haven't noticed any new hair growth on my scalp yet. People have mentioned that results may become visible after several months, but I can honestly say that I haven't seen any new hair. Can you please provide some insight into how long it typically takes for PRP to regrow hair? PRP is my last hope for addressing my hair problems, and I'm eager to understand the timeline for potential results.

Hi, PRP does not trigger new hair follicles to form but may induce already existing weak follicles to gain strength and grow, particularly in males.PRP may increase the mean thickness of growing hair follicles.PRP may decrease the percentage of hair follicles on the way to be lost (telogen phase of hair follicles in males) PRP is effective particularly in androgenic type of hair loss, it may have some secondary indirect quality increase effects in women but is not effective for female type hair loss. (according to recent publication from Texas University) These views and data subject to change with the emerging new publications and scientific evidence.

How much time does it typically take for PRP to stimulate hair regrowth?

Hello, I'm just 30 years old, and I have extremely thin skin around my eyes, especially in the corners. It has significantly affected my self-esteem. I attempted fillers, but they didn't provide the desired results. I believe I need a solution that can thicken the skin in this area. My skin is hollow, and the issue is very close to my eyes, making it challenging for fillers to address. Can you please advise if fat grafting or PRP could be viable options in this situation? Thank you so much for your help. :(

Hi, In my perspective, a nano-fat periorbital fat injection combined with fractional radiofrequency microneedling would yield best results in your case. I usually do not recommend PRP injections on the darkening and hollowness of the lower eyelids. Best wishes,
