The Future of Healthcare Today

At the Special Symposium “Adipose Stem Cells for Orthopedic Application” (held at 2015 IFATS (International Federation of Adipose Therapeutics and Science) Conference in New Orleans, November 4-8, 2015), in his welcome note the Symposium Chair Rocky Tuan, PhD said,” Future studies will likely look at combinations of stem cells and PRP (platelet rich plasma), which itself has been emerging in sports medicine and other venues as a way to boost healing capacity”.

Regeneris Medical and Cell Surgical Network have been successfully treating patients with multiple injury and age-related problems using these “future” therapies since 2009! Years of research and hundreds of grateful patients that got back to the court, field, slopes, dance floor and track are the best proof that painkillers and hip or knee replacement implants are not your only options.

We offer surgical and non-surgical hair loss treatments to meet the diverse needs of patients, addressing various kinds of needs.

It surprises some patients to hear this, but your weight can have an affect on your hair. Let’s consider how weight loss and hair loss are sometimes linked.

How Weight Loss and Hair Thinning May Be Linked

Your general health and wellness can have a major impact on the thickness and condition of your hair. In fact, it’s not uncommon for people to notice changes to their hair following issues with general health, such as systemic conditions or overall changes in body mass, wellness, and diet.

It’s not surprising, then, that people who lose a lost of weight for various reasons may notice difference in hair quality. In particular, major weight loss can trigger hair thinning or balding.

Hair and Hormones: Understanding the Connections

In general, major systemic conditions and changes to your body mass affect the hormone levels. On a basic level, hormones are used to regulate body weight and can affect various growth processes in your body.

For instance, when a woman is pregnant, the presence of certain hormones in her system will lead to thicker hair. Childbirth is then followed by a period of hair thinning related to the weight loss and the changes in a woman’s hormones. Apart from pregnancy, weight loss related to various diseases can similarly lead to issues with hair loss.

Maintaining an Ideal Weight Can Ensure a Healthy Head of Hair

One of the best ways to prevent potential hair loss related to weight fluctuations is to maintain a healthy weight. This typically involves common sense approaches to wellness, such as eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly.

Treatment Options for Hair Loss Related to Weight Issues

Typically it’s best for the root cause of a person’s hair loss to be treated rather than the hair loss per se. This means making sure any systemic conditions are properly treated. By addressing these issues with wellness, typically the hair loss will resolve itself with time as hormone levels return to normal and a patient’s overall wellness improves.

Working Conservatively in These Matters

You’ll note that this approach to addressing the hair loss related to weight loss is rather conservative. That’s actually an ideal approach to take in these matters. By working conservatively with regard to hair loss treatments, we make sure that unnecessary surgeries are avoided and the best results possible are achieved.

If the hair loss a patient experiences is not just a temporary side effect of a systemic condition, we can then consider various non-invasive and surgical hair restoration options that can address these matters. We will discuss all of the risks and benefits of these treatments in full so that you can make the best decision for your needs.

The Cost of Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Your Options for Payment

At Regeneris Medical, we are more than happy to answer the questions of our potential patients. Answering questions about male transplantation of hair follicles to treat baldness allow them to be more confident about treatment decisions that they make. Since we receive a number of questions about the cost of follicular unit extraction (FUE), we’d like to go over these matters in brief right now.

What is the average cost of follicular unit extraction (FUE)?

The average cost of follicular unit extraction (FUE) can actually vary a bit from patient to patient for a number of reasons. Since the range can vary and each surgery is customized to the needs of the patient and his situation, we feel that providing an average cost or even just a general price range would potentially paint an inaccurate picture of the FUE procedure and its results.

With this in mind, we would be more than happy to provide patients with a custom price quote should they visit the practice for a consultation. This would also give us the ability to discuss alternatives to FUE that may be more affordable.

Factors Affecting the Cost of Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

Some factors that affect the total cost of a follicular unit extraction (FUE) procedure include the following:

• The geographic location of the practice
• The credentials of the hair restoration specialist
• The amount of follicular units needed
• The complexity of the patient’s case
• Special promotions unique to individual practices

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Cost vs. Other Hair Restoration Options

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a state-of-the-art surgical procedure, and as a result, the cost of FUE is more than many other procedures out there. For instance, it’s not uncommon for FUE to cost more than follicular unit transplantation (FUT) simply given the different ways that the surgeries are performed.

In addition, FUE obviously costs more than non-surgical treatments that involve medications or hairpieces. With all that in mind, the results and numerous benefits of FUE are worth the additional cost to many patients.

Does insurance cover hair restoration procedures?

No.

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is considered an elective procedure in many cases, and it will not be covered by most insurance providers as a result. In rare instances, FUE may be covered if it is performed as part of a reconstructive surgery, though this will depend on the nature of the surgical reconstruction and the circumstances of the case.

Monthly Financing for Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

If the cost of follicular unit extraction (FUE) proves too much of a burden, there are monthly payment options to consider. These financing plans function much like a credit card, with patients making monthly payments on the total amount of the FUE procedure.

Discussing Treatment and Payment Options in Full Detail

During your consultation at our practice, we will be sure to cover all treatment options and payment options in full detail so you can make the best possible decision for your situation. It’s important to us that you are confident in any decision you make as this tends to improve overall patient satisfaction and patient experience.

Hair Loss Following Pregnancy: What Mothers to Be Should Know

At Regeneris Medical, we pride ourselves on providing some of the finest hair transplant solutions to patients from Virginia through the Boston Area. We offer advanced hair loss treatment options for men and women, all tailored to meet the unique needs of patients. A number of women have had questions about hair loss they have experienced following the birth of their child. Let’s look into these matters in a bit more detail right now.

Why does hair loss occur after pregnancy?

During pregnancy, a woman’s hormones change significantly in order to ensure the health of the developing child and the needs of the mother’s body to help with successful childbirth. During pregnancy, women often notice that their hair grows thicker and fuller than it did before being pregnant.

After childbirth, a woman’s hormones will change, reverting to pre-pregnancy levels. In the process, this leads to a number of physical changes, which includes hair loss. This postpartum hair loss and thinning is the result of telogen effluvium, which means that the woman’s hair follicles have turned to a resting phase rather than a growth phase.

What is the hair loss like after childbirth?

The hair loss following childbirth can take many forms, generally occurring up to three or four months after your child is born. For some women, they experience issues with hair quality first, noting dryness or brittleness before the hair falls out. General thinning is common, and some patients may notice issues with more scalp showing in certain parts of their hairline than others.

Is the hair loss and thinning I experience permanent?

No.

As hormone levels return to normal and your body adjusts to them, hair growth and hair thickness will return to normal. In general, this will occur around six months to one year after childbirth.

Is hair transplant surgery necessary to restore my hair?

Generally no.

Since the hair loss and thinning is natural and temporary, the vast majority of women who experience hair loss following pregnancy will not require any sort of surgery. Even if there is some lasting hair loss after childbirth, the nature of female hair loss differs significantly from male balding, so surgical treatments are typically not ideal.

When you meet with you general practitioner to discuss these matters, he or she will be able to provide more direct advice on how to treat or reduce the hair loss as well as how to promote quicker hair regrowth. In some instances, medications or alternative therapies may be used to address these issues.

Tips for Dealing with Hair Loss During Pregnancy

In order to reduce hair loss and hair thinning after pregnancy, consider the following tips:

• Avoid hairstyles that place stress on the hair and scalp (e.g., ponytails, cornrows, weaves)
• Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables
• Use natural hair care products that are easy on the hair and hair follicles
• Avoid using blow dryers and other heated hair instruments
