Scalp Injections in Greater Seattle
There are a number of scalp injections that can be used for hair loss. One option includes growth factor injections. Growth factors are often injected into the scalp in areas that have thinning hair in order to decrease further loss, thicken existing hair, and in some cases grow more hair. These types of injections have been studied mostly in androgenetic alopecia (also called AGA or patterned hair loss or patterned balding). There are also studies in other types of hair loss such as alopecia areata and scarring hair loss. However, further studies are still needed, and the use of these growth factor injections for any type of hair loss is off label.
Another type of injectable therapy for hair loss is the injection of steroids into the scalp. These steroid injections are often recommended for inflammatory types of hair loss or for shedding hair loss (telogen effluvium).
Scalp injections overall can be a useful tool for the treatment of hair loss. The hair restoration physicians at Root Hair Institute (RHI) are very experienced and knowledgeable in the best injection preparations and techniques. Our doctors start with first making an appropriate diagnosis and then tailoring a treatment plan for you based on that diagnosis. Additionally, our team uses measures to keep individuals as comfortable as possible during any procedures such as scalp injections.
How do our scalp injection treatments work?
Why do people trust us with their growth factor scalp injections for hair loss?
One major criticism of growth factor injections for hair loss is varying results across different studies and varying protocols across providers and studies including how the growth factors are isolated, what agents they are combined with (if any), how deep they are injected into the scalp, spacing of the injection points, and the frequency of injections.
These techniques vary among different providers, and it is important to go to someone who is experienced with the injections, understands the anatomy of the hair follicle and scalp, and is honest about expected results.
How do growth factor scalp injections help?
Stimulate Natural Hair Growth.
Injection of growth factors into the scalp is a procedure that can promote hair growth. These growth factors can help to increase the length of the anagen (growing phase) of the hair cycle.
Boost Hair Thickness.
The growth factors can stimulate hair follicles when injected into the scalp and can increase blood flow to the scalp. This can lead to thickening (increased diameter) of your existing hair.
Enhance the Condition of Existing Hair.
Growth factors isolated from your own blood can assist with tissue repair and regeneration. This can lead to improved health of hair follicles leading to healthier appearing existing hair.
Benefits of Growth Factor Hair Treatment
Quick In-office Treatment
Growth factor scalp injections are generally a short in-office procedure. At Root Hair Institute, we take measures to make the injections as quick and comfortable as possible. Scalp injections do not require individuals to keep up with a treatment regimen at home.
Natural Treatment
Growth factor injections at Root Hair Institute are all autologous, meaning they are products isolated from your own body. Some patients who are not comfortable with medication-based therapies prefer this growth factor injection treatment option and other options such as red light therapy.
Ability to Combined with Other Therapies
Growth factor injections can be combined with other therapies such as topical medications, oral medications, low-level light therapy, microneedling, and hair restoration surgery. In fact, many of these treatments work better together than alone as they target hair loss pathways at multiple levels and in different ways.
Minimal downtime
Patients who undergo growth factor injections at RHI generally have very little downtime. There are certain measures recommended such as avoiding certain supplements or medications, exercise, scalp massage, and other activities in the days before and after the procedure. Our patients at RHI receive detailed pre-procedure and post-procedure instructions in order to optimize their treatment results. However, generally the procedure is well-tolerated with minimal downtime. Make sure to discuss the downtime and pre and post treatment recommendations with your performing provider before deciding if growth factor injections are right for you.

FAQS
What Are Growth Factor Injections?
Growth factor injection therapy for hair loss is a three-step medical procedure where a person’s blood is extracted, processed, and then injected into the scalp in areas with thinning or where increased growth is desired.
How Successful Are Growth Factor Injections In Treating Male Patterns Baldness, Female Pattern Thinning, Pattern Hair Loss, or Androgentic Alopecia?
A number of studies have shown growth factor injections to be potentially effective for many individuals in helping to thicken existing hair. It is important to note that these injections, like other therapies such as medications, are most effective in those with existing hair in the area and typically are not effective in areas with little to no existing hair. These injections, like other treatment options, are not effective in everyone, so it is important to have these injections with someone who can treat your hair loss comprehensively and change the treatment regimen if necessary if you are not responding or not achieving the amount of response you desire. There are a number of factors to be considered, so it is important to consult with a provider, such as one of our hair restoration physicians, to determine if this could be an appropriate treatment option in your case.
What Is The Prognosis After Growth Factor Hair Restoration?
If you achieve a response with growth factor injections, it is important to understand that you will need repeat sessions in order to maintain the result. The sessions are often more frequent initially in order to obtain a result and then are often able to be spaced out in order to maintain the result. Always discuss the treatment frequency or schedule with your provider to understand what is best for your case.
