Can pattern hair loss be cured? This is a common question from many men and women suffering from hair loss. Since the genes for pattern hair loss are genetically hardwired into the DNA, there is no outright cure. However, thinning hair can be thickened, with hair density, and scalp coverage maximized for as long as genetically possible with TrichoStem® Hair Regeneration.

Although most hair loss is caused by genetics, known as androgenetic alopecia/ genetic pattern hair loss, but there are other, less common causes of hair thinning. About 95% of hair loss cases are due to genetic pattern hair loss, affecting 30% of women under 50 and 50% over 50. Generally, a decrease in hair thickness and density characterizes androgenetic alopecia. While pattern hair loss cannot be completely stopped, it can be managed by thickening thinning hair, stimulating growth, and maximizing scalp coverage. With a background in hair transplant surgery, Dr. Prasad developed the TrichoStem® Hair Regeneration treatment first as way to improve hair transplant results. This non-surgical hair transplant alternative is customized for each patient, involves 1-2 sessions spaced 15-24 months apart, with benefits lasting 3-5 years, or more.

Finasteride is the most prescribed drugs for the treatment of male pattern hair loss. Many patients express their concern about continuous hair loss and lack of significant hair growth while taking finasteride. Finasteride is a DHT (dihydrotestosterone) blocker, which works by blocking an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. This enzyme is responsible for the conversion of testosterone to DHT (dihydrotestosterone). In male-pattern hair loss, hair that is sensitive to DHT is subject to hair thinning and eventually disappearing. An important point is that finasteride does not stop hair loss progression, but rather it slows it down.

Dr. Prasad is the pioneer of TrichoStem® Hair Regeneration treatment, a non-surgical method of treating hair loss and hair thinning for both male and female, with benefits that can last 3-5 years or longer. During the early development of TrichoStem® hair regeneration, Dr. Prasad questioned what the difference would be for someone already on finasteride before coming in for a TrichoStem® treatment. Finasteride can help preserve the longevity of hair follicle lifespan, but it is not able to stimulate hair growth, nor maximize the potential scalp coverage. There is an opportunity for synergy combining a DHT blocker, such as finasteride, with TrichoStem® hair regeneration. While a drug like finasteride is important to slow down hair thinning in male pattern hair loss, finasteride alone may not be able to maximize scalp coverage, especially with ongoing hair loss progression.

Watch this video to know more about the role of finasteride in male pattern hair loss treatment, the limited results of using finasteride as the only treatment, and how the synergy with TrichoStem® Hair Regeneration yields thicker scalp hair coverage, and longer-lasting results:

With more doctors offering PRP + ACell as a non-surgical solution to hair loss, it is important to know that there are different classifications of pattern hair loss, and may not be as effective if this treatment is used as a single formulation for all patients. Before proceeding with PRP + ACell treatment, an important first step is to properly evaluate the patient’s classification of pattern hair loss to know if this treatment is appropriate for the patient.

Many practices offer PRP + ACell as a revenue stream, not from dedication to treating hair loss and seen as an in-and-out procedure like a facial or injectable treatment. In addition, many of the practices offering PRP + ACell have no prior hair restoration experience, which means they lack the experience and understanding to evaluate patients with hair loss.
