Hair Loss Treatment

FactorX is an Aesthetic Grade Product intended for topic use only. Used along with an abrasive technique such as micro-needling, FactorX may dramatically help improve the quality and texture of many skin types and issues, especially sun spots and sun damage discoloration. Factor X may be used alone or in combination with Organicell™ Medical Grade Products for injection for hair restoration which MAXIMUM SAFETY & may dramatically improve new hair growth.

The next generation of regenerative therapy is here. By isolating the beneficial nanoparticles released by regenerative cells, FactorX uses these powerful messengers that might promote hair regrowth.

FactorX is a proprietary therapeutic derived from
perinatal tissues. This is a rich source of growth
factors, peptides, hyaluronic acid, and extracellular
vesicles that contain microRNA. Hair loss or thinning due to inflamed or damaged cells in the hair follicle may be treated by administering these regenerative proteins and molecules. These components may help reduce inflammation to promote healthier, stronger hair follicles, and may stimulate new hair growth.

There are two popular methods used for hair transplants. To perform them, your doctor needs to harvest hair from an area that still grows it and move it to the area that needs it. Your doctor will sterilize and numb the area that will donate the hair but you may request to be sedated so that you can sleep through the entire procedure.

Your surgeon will discuss with you both procedures and, depending on the condition of your scalp and your remaining hair will decide to perform either follicular unit transplantation (FUT) or a follicular unit extraction (FUE). Here is how each one is performed:

For FUT to be successful, the surgeon must remove a strip of skin from the back of your head that measures between 6 and 10 inches in length. Then, the area from which this skin has been removed is closed with stitches, and covered with gauze.

This strip of skin is separated into smaller sections with a scalpel. These smaller sections are called grafts and they can be so small as to contain only one hair each. The surgeon will now make tiny holes in your scalp and insert a graft. The procedure is repeated over and over.

Generally, the number of grafts you receive will depend on your type of hair, the size of the transplant area, your hair color, and the quality and thickness of your hair.

In this case, the surgeon will shave off hair from the back of your head. Then, individual follicles will be harvested from the skin of your scalp (you may see the tiny marks where the follicles were removed). The second phase is the same as with FUT and each graft is placed where needed.

First of all, it is important to know that these procedures may be performed in several hours in some cases and for several days in others. This depends on the amount that needs to be done. In any case, you may go home immediately after finishing the procedure.

Once the stitches are ready to come out, the gauze will be removed. If your doctor notices any swelling, triamcinolone might be injected to take care of it. It is likely that you will feel pain or soreness in the affected area. To deal with the pain you may take pain medications. Your doctor may also prescribe an antibiotic to avoid infections and anti-inflammatories to relieve swelling.

It is recommended that you do not wash your hair until a few days after the surgery and you should use the mildest shampoos during the first weeks. Although you should be able to go back to work in about three days, it is recommended that you do not exercise for at least a week, not wear hats or pullover sweaters until you get authorization from your doctor to do so, and don’t brush the grafts for about three weeks.
