T Wo Treatment Options

EXOSOMES are extracellular (outside a cell) vesicles (small sacs) that are present in human placenta and umbilical cord tissue— by the billions. Exosomes are rich sources of stem cells, growth factors, enzymes, and proteins, which is why they have medical and cosmetic applications. Dr. Avaliani also uses exosomes for facial rejuvenation (more on this topic in a later issue this summer). She spent many years seeking the best quality exosomes and works exclusively with US-harvested exosomes. Many products and treatments help prolong hair growth. However, none can treat at the cellular level like exosomes. The result: longer hair growth cycle and thicker, healthier hair.

The number of injections and number of treatments varies per person’s needs as determined in the consultation. Most patients can see and feel the results in as little as one month. Maintenance injections every six months are recommended for optimal results.

Lots of men look great and sexy with shaved heads, but this isn’t a fashion trend for women. Fact is, a lot of men opt for a shaved head rather than expose their thinning hair or patchy bald spots. Men and women have new options. Dr. Anna Avaliani, a renowned non-invasive cosmetic physician offers exciting new non-surgical treatments to not only stop hair loss, but also to promote hair growth and restore thickness. National Institutes of Health (NIH) reported on the correlation between the practitioner and the success of non-surgical treatments. Dr. Avaliani is the expert you want. These new treatments involve injections, and never underestimate the importance of who’s doing the injecting — deciding exactly what, where, how much, how deep. She is a board-certified physician with years of education, training, and experience. Trust your head to the best in medical care. Dr. Avaliani’s skilled touch makes injections comfortable and totally tolerable.

Before Dr. Avaliani suggests an exact treatment plan, she will consult with you about your health. She would rather refer you to different physician if she feels your hair loss would benefit from a specialist who treats hair loss that results from stress, hormones, diet, or medications. She might even refer a patient to a hair-transplant surgeon if she thinks that’s the best option.

Dr. Avaliani loves to give patients what they ask for as long as doing so is medically sound and will most likely result in a natural look that meets the patient’s expectations. Not every patient is a candidate for every procedure; that’s why expert in-person consultations are very important.

PRP with or without ACell is a combination therapy that combines plasma-rich platelets (PRP) and ACell, a medical-grade product that enhances the body’s ability to regenerate cells and repair itself. Both PRP and ACell are FDA-approved, although ACell is used off-label when it’s part of a hair restoration therapy. Off-label uses are perfectly common. PRP uses the patient’s own platelets, which are harvested and prepared as part of a treatment visit. PRP used alone is effective, but adding ACell provides increased growth factors, which result in faster, more robust results. On average, four visits one month apart complete the treatment. Results can be seen in four to twelve months. Maintenance injections should happen every six months.
