About Regenerative Hair Loss Treatments with Vitti Labs ECM and Dual-Spin PRP

PRP can help you address hair loss by stimulating the hair follicles and addressing scalp inflammation. This is particularly helpful for patients with alopecia areata, which causes inflammation that results in hair loss. ⁽²⁾ Dual-Spin PRP with extracellular matrix (ECM) from Vitti Labs is a groundbreaking technology that stimulates the hair follicles to encourage new growth. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a nutrient-dense serum that boosts growth factors in the scalp, aiding in the production of new cells. With Dual-Spin PRP, we can:

Dual-Spin PRP produces a highly concentrated serum that is more effective for hair growth than traditional PRP therapies because it contains more growth factors. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a molecular network that forms a supportive scaffold for cells throughout the body. ⁽³⁾ The ECM contains collagen and other growth factors that help your skin maintain its elasticity and stimulate the hair follicles. The extracellular matrix (ECM) from Vitti Labs is an allogenic (donor) tissue that is purified to extract nutrients that support hair growth. When we administer it to the scalp, ECM can help the hair follicles regenerate and create new cells effectively and efficiently.

Regenerative Therapy and Hair Transplants

Many patients choose to receive regenerative therapy alongside hair transplants to help them effectively address bald spots and thinning hair. Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a hair transplant procedure that repopulates the scalp by removing hair follicles from one area of the head and placing them where you are experiencing hair loss. Dr. Chaffoo and Dr. Stuart offer FUE with impressive new technologies, including:

At California Hair MD, we can also analyze your scalp with the Hair Metrix System to analyze your hair growth cycles and create a treatment plan based on your specific hair growth cycles. Our gentle therapies can help you achieve beautiful, natural-looking results without long surgical scars, and you can enjoy minimal downtime.

Candidates & Consultation

Suitable candidates typically want to address thinning hair and bald spots without surgery or long downtime periods. Candidates are typically in good overall health with realistic expectations about what they can achieve.

During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history, medications, and lifestyle to customize a treatment plan that aligns with your aesthetic goals.

How to Prepare

To prepare for your treatment, you should take good care of your body and avoid sun exposure. You should stop smoking temporarily and refrain from taking medications and supplements that thin the blood. We may also recommend that you make changes to your lifestyle. If you wear tight hairstyles, you will need to change your hair care and styling routine to include styles that do not strain the scalp.

Treatment Process

During your treatment, Dr. Chaffoo or Dr. Stuart will take a blood sample and process it in a centrifuge to extract the PRP. Dual-spin technology yields a higher concentration of growth factors compared to traditional PRP methods. We will combine the PRP with ECM from Vitti Labs to create a nutrient-rich serum and administer it to the hair follicles to encourage new hair growth. Most patients receive a series of treatments over a few months to rejuvenate their scalp.

After Your Treatment

After your treatment, you can return to most of your normal activities as long as you avoid excessive sun exposure that could damage your skin and affect your results. We will also provide specific instructions about how to care for your scalp to optimize your healing and results. These may cover scalp hygiene, appropriate hair care practices, and avoiding tight hairstyles or headwear. Each patient will receive specific instructions that cater to their unique treatment plan.

Results

After your hair restoration therapies, you can enjoy thicker, natural-looking hair growth. Many patients notice increased hair density and enjoy long-lasting improvements. Depending on your hair restoration plans, you may need to receive a series of treatments to achieve your desired results.

Additional Treatments

Eyebrow Transplants

Eyebrow transplants use your own hair follicles to improve the appearance of your eyebrows and balance your facial features. As you age, hair loss is common, and eyebrow hair loss can affect your self-esteem. For fuller eyebrows, we can transplant hair follicles from another part of the body to the brow area, creating a natural-looking enhancement.

Post-Plastic Surgery Hair Restoration

If you recently had surgery and experienced hair loss, we can enhance your appearance with a treatment specifically designed to address the effects of surgery on the body. Post-plastic surgery hair restoration is a treatment that can address hair loss from trauma to improve your hair growth, address hair thinning, and diminish bald spots.
