Is hair restoration right for me?

Dr. Empey examines your hair and scalp, reviews your medical history, and discusses your lifestyle and desired results to determine the best hair restoration treatments. Anyone struggling with thinning hair benefits from holistic hair restoration at Thriverock Active Healthcare.

Which hair restoration treatments are available?

Thriverock Active Healthcare offers the following hair restoration solutions:

PRP

The practice specializes in using PRP for hair restoration. Dr. Empey takes a blood sample from one of your veins during this treatment. After spinning the sample in a centrifuge to extract PRP from the rest of the blood, he injects the PRP into areas of your scalp to stimulate new cell production and hair regrowth. 

Dr. Empey may also use microneedling to make tiny punctures in your scalp before applying PRP directly to the treatment area. There’s no pain or downtime associated with PRP treatments for hair regrowth, so that you can resume a typical daily routine immediately afterward.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy

Dr. Empey uses bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to naturally balance your hormones and thicken your hair.

Healthy lifestyle changes

Additional ways to increase natural hair growth include eating nutritious foods, getting plenty of sleep, reducing stress, and taking dietary supplements. Avoid harsh hair-care practices, such as using chemicals on your hair, pulling your hair tightly, or brushing your hair vigorously.

Over time you can expect fuller, healthier, revitalized hair and a younger-looking appearance.
