Hair Restoration in San Diego

AT DERMACARE MEDICAL AESTHETICS

Hair loss can be frustrating—especially when topical oils, supplements, and “miracle” products never seem to deliver. The truth is that healthy regrowth takes more than one quick fix.

At Dermacare Medical Aesthetics, our team combines proven, non-surgical technologies and medical expertise to restore thicker, healthier hair—no surgery, no downtime.

Who’s a Good Candidate for Hair Loss Treatments?

Our non-surgical hair restoration treatments are ideal for men and women experiencing thinning, shedding, or a receding hairline who prefer to avoid hair transplant surgery. The treatment can be used by anyone, whether stress, genetics, hormonal changes, age, or medical conditions are the cause of their hair loss.

Consider non-surgical hair restoration if you notice the following signs:

Excessive shedding, especially during showers
A receding or thinning hairline
Wider part lines or patchy areas

You may not be a good candidate if you have complete baldness, you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, or you are undergoing medical treatments that cause hair loss (e.g., chemotherapy). It’s best to schedule a consultation with our Dermacare Medical Aesthetics providers to see your options.

How FoLix Hair Restoration Works

Rather than replacing hair through surgery, our non-surgical treatments reawaken existing follicles and improve circulation to encourage regrowth. By nourishing the scalp and extending the hair’s active growth phase, these procedures make each strand stronger and fuller.

Our hero treatment for hair restoration is the FoLix laser. FoLix is the first FDA-cleared fractional laser system specifically designed for non-invasive hair loss treatment in both men and women.

FoLix uses targeted laser energy to stimulate hair follicles by enhancing blood flow and activating natural healing processes, leading to increased hair count and improved scalp appearance.

Combination Treatments for Maximum Results

For maximum hair restoration efficiency, FoLix laser is used in combination with the following treatments:

PRP Injections: Uses platelet-rich plasma from your blood to send nourishment to the scalp. This increases blood flow to the follicle and starts a regenerative process. It extends the growth phase and awakens dormant follicles.
Ariessence: This is a topical serum that is rich in peptides, botanical extracts, and bioavailable nutrients. This supports proper circulation and detoxifies the scalp, leaving no residue behind.
Red Light Therapy Cap: The wearable cap uses LLLT (low-level laser therapy) to send red light into the scalp. This stimulates the scalp at a cellular level and promotes blood circulation to strengthen the hair follicles.
Nutrafol Supplement: This supplement uses antioxidants, adaptogens, marine collagen, and other powerful ingredients to target the root cause of hair loss. This brings the body into balance from the inside while the others treat matters from the outside.
Minoxidil: A vasodilator, this serum is applied twice a day to stimulate blood flow and deliver nourishment. The treatment aims to prolong the growth phase, giving the hair enough time to grow thicker before it sheds.

When these treatments are used together, they create an environment where the hair grows more easily. These procedures treat the scalp from the inside out, so your hair strands won’t be in such a “hurry” to shed anymore.

How FoLix Works

Using laser to harness the body’s natural processes, FoLix promotes blood circulation and growth factors activity, stimulating the hair follicles.

Hair Restoration Recovery

Hair restoration, especially non-surgical restoration, requires little to no downtime. Some treatments, such as FoLix and PRP, can cause some scalp tenderness and redness. However, the side effects usually fade within a day or two. In rare cases, topical treatments can cause irritation or unwanted hair growth on the face if the application is splotchy.

Our providers at Dermacare Medical Aesthetics will offer the necessary home-care instructions. Most patients can return to their routines immediately, but it’s important to protect the scalp. Steer clear of excessive UV exposure, especially during the first few days of recovery. A lightweight scarf is often better than a hat for protecting the scalp, and you should refrain from putting the hair in a ponytail during the recovery stage.

Hair Restoration Results

Results are not immediate, especially if the hair thinning is significant. Most patients see less shedding after three months and the emergence of “baby hairs.” The hairline should also be darker at this point, with the new growth concealing it.

After six months, you should notice that the hair is thicker and the “baby hairs” are about two to three inches long. The longer hair strands should also look healthier at this point, as the follicles are receiving nourishment.

Full results are visible within one to three years after the treatment, once the restored hair has grown long enough. Depending on the severity of hair loss, you might need repeated treatments and maintenance sessions. This, together with a healthy lifestyle and good hair care routine, can prevent the follicles from weakening again.
