I do believe there’s definitely a place for regenerative interventions when it comes to addressing your hair loss. Whether it’s through medications, supplements, or procedural treatments, early intervention tends to offer the best outcomes. Since this is a concern for you, I’d recommend starting with a comprehensive evaluation by a physician who specializes in hair restoration. This can help identify any underlying or reversible causes of your hair loss.

If it turns out that your hair loss is due to androgenetic alopecia (which is very common), and you're not ready to start with medications, options like PRP and other regenerative modalities can be worth considering. In my experience, a combination approach—incorporating treatments, supplements, red light therapy, and good daily hair care practices—tends to be the most effective.

Working under the guidance of a specialist, whether it's a dermatologist, hair restoration physician, or plastic surgeon, can help you explore and weigh your options thoughtfully. I generally recommend reserving hair transplant as a later option once less invasive strategies have been explored. Ultimately, the best path forward involves a detailed assessment and a collaborative, personalized plan between you and your provider—always keeping in mind the associated costs, upkeep, and potential risks of any intervention.

It’s completely normal to have some facial asymmetry—everyone does. But if it’s something that’s been bothering you, know that there are thoughtful, effective ways to address it. A skilled provider can assess your features in person and design a customized treatment plan using options like fillers, PDO threads, or neurotoxins. With the right approach and an artistic eye, subtle enhancements can bring more balance and harmony to your face—helping you feel more confident and aligned with how you want to look

Hair loss is multifactorial, with hormones being a leading cause. However, before exploring treatments, I recommend ensuring that any underlying medical conditions, such as hypothyroidism, are well managed. It’s important to work with a dermatologist or physician to assess your overall health and make any necessary adjustments to medications, so you’re not working against an unresolved root cause.

Once your health is stabilized, we can optimize your hair restoration journey with advanced modalities like low-level light therapy, medications (including statewide), PRP, etc. While these treatments can be highly effective, addressing the underlying cause of hair loss is essential to achieving the best possible results.

I would recommend starting with PRP/PRF for your under-eyes, as it can help with rejuvenation and skin quality. However, an in-person evaluation is essential to assess the actual volume loss before deciding on the best approach. Based on the picture, I wouldn’t suggest either treatment just yet, as a proper assessment in person will provide a clearer understanding of what’s needed for the best results.

If you're on a baby dose of aspirin, it's definitely important to check with your physician before undergoing PRP treatment. That said, there are other regenerative options worth considering. In my opinion, alternatives like exosomes, Pure PDGF+, polynucleotides (salmon DNA), and connective tissue allografts (stem cells) may offer benefits without the same concerns related to platelet function. Each of these therapies has unique regenerative properties, so discussing them with both your physician and an experienced provider can help determine the best option for you.
