With thousands of men and women across Northeast Ohio and beyond experiencing hair loss, hair replacement or regrowth “solutions” are easy to find. The problem, says Dr. Laurel Matthews, a board-certified physician with more than 35 years of practice experience and the owner of Dr. Laurel’s PRP Bar, is that most treatments promising to cure hair loss are the modern equivalent of snake oil.

“There are only a few safe treatment methods that have been medically proven to regrow hair,” she explains. “Using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is one of them.”

Dr. Laurel meets with each patient to personally identify the cause of hair loss. The best candidates for her Hair Regrow treatment are men with male-pattern baldness, women with perimenopausal hair loss or thinning and people with certain autoimmune types of alopecia.

“We are not a medi-spa. We are a medical practice,” she says. “We treat hair loss as a medical condition, which means we combine PRP with state-of-the-art medical management. We only use doublespin PRP, which yields a much higher quality product from the patient’s own blood.”

Most patients are prescribed a regimen of oral or custom topical DHT blockade to assure maximum forward progress from each PRP treatment.

“Using nitrous oxide and a chilling machine for maximum comfort, we do a series of approximately 40 small PRP injections across the entire area of hair loss and at-risk areas,” Dr. Laurel explains. “This strategy allows us to reduce the average number of treatments required to regrow hair. For the majority of patients, the typical regimen is to increase the treatment interval by one month each time the patient returns, with maintenance treatments at six- to nine-month intervals.”

Dr. Laurel stresses the importance of understanding exactly what you’re getting when price shopping. The double-spin method of PRP collection is substantially more expensive, so if the price seems too good to be true, it probably is.
