Natural Growth Factor Injections
Hair restoration with Natural Growth Factor Injections is an innovative and effective way to restore hair growth.

It involves taking a small sample of the patient’s own blood, spinning it in a centrifuge, and injecting or microneedling the Natural Growth Factor Injections serum into the scalp. The Natural Growth Factor Injections stimulates the scalp cells to promote hair growth.

Keravive
Keravive is often used following Natural Growth Factor Injections treatments to help enhance and improve the results of the procedure. The Keravive Scalp Treatment consists of a Hydrafacial Keravive 3-step process; however, for those with more severe hair loss or thinning, combination treatments may be appropriate. Natural Growth Factor Injections can safely be combined with Hydrafacial scalp treatments. When combined, these treatments can have dramatic results.
Pre and Post Care
Pre-Care for Hair Restoration Treatments
To ensure excellent results and easy procedure, follow these pre-care guidelines:
- Avoid Blood-Thinning Medications: Refrain from taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinning medications for 7-10 days before your treatment, unless prescribed by a physician, to minimize the risk of bruising.
- Limit Alcohol and Caffeine: Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours prior to your appointment to reduce the likelihood of swelling or bleeding.
- Stop Certain Supplements: Discontinue supplements like fish oil, vitamin E, and ginkgo biloba 7-10 days before treatment, as these can increase the risk of bruising.
- Wash Your Hair: Clean your hair and scalp thoroughly with a gentle shampoo on the day of your appointment. Avoid using styling products.
- Hydrate: Drink a lot of water for a couple of days leading to your appointment, making sure your body is fully hydrated.
- Discuss Your Medications: Notify your provider of any medications or health conditions to determine if adjustments are necessary.
- Plan Your Schedule: Treatments have to be planned at least two weeks in advance before major events happen, as mild swelling and redness are expected to surface.
