New treatment for hair loss
New treatment for hair loss
it's so stressful yeah so stressful when
Jazmin Irizarry was 30 years old she was
diagnosed with a thyroid disorder that
was also when she began losing her hair
especially in the frontal scalp I have
lost a lot of hair yeah
you know I want to say about this is not
even 50% the hair that I had today she's
visiting dr. Misbah Khan for a type of
hair loss treatment that's the first of
its kind the procedure takes just about
an hour its non-surgical and the results
are immediate so right now we are just
going to focus first of all on the area
that it shows the most hair loss here's
how it works first the patient's blood
is drawn it then goes into a centrifuge
that separates the Bloods platelets
which have growth compounds those
platelets are then mixed with amniotic
tissue rich in stem cells a plasma like
substance that is then injected into the
patient's top layer of scalp sometimes
it can be a little bit stinging
sensation but most patients aren't able
to tolerate that without any problems
the procedure does two things first it
drastically slows down hair loss within
a matter of days sometimes even after
your first shampoo once the shedding is
reduced then the growth of the hair can
take over regrowth she says takes about
a year this is a before-and-after of a
patient eight weeks after his first
session so now let's talk cost how does
the price of this procedure compare with
a traditional hair transplant especially
since neither is covered by health
insurance while the average hair
transplant can run you about $20,000 dr.
Kahn's treatment typically done twice a
year is normally 7,000 while anyone can
get the procedure she recommends it for
those who are just beginning to lose
their hair or who aren't candidates for
hair transplant jasmine is one of those
patients the hair and a woman is such a
Saba beauties I will crown and she says
she's looking forward to getting that
crown back oh yes I can't wait I can't
wait to start getting potent hopefully
you know just code it and everything
will come back to normal
