Early-stage hair loss? How our hair restoration treatment in Frederick stimulates dormant follicles

And when you find yourself with longer hair in your brush, a deepening part or hair thinning to the temples or the crown, you aren’t the only one, and yes, there are options to help. At Sylvana Medical & Aesthetics Center in Frederick, MD, we use advanced non-surgical techniques to treat scalp health and wake up slumbering follicles. Our signature hair restoration treatment in Frederick blends Procell micro-channeling with umbilical cord-derived exosomes and Wharton’s Jelly to deliver concentrated regenerative signals exactly where your scalp needs them most. The outcome: hair density is enhanced, the strength of the strands is increased, and the environment is responsible for continuing to grow hair.

Learn more about the effectiveness of our approach, who it is recommended for, and what to expect at each stage below.

The Importance of Early Intervention

Another change in the body at the early stages of hair loss is that the follicles tend to shrink and undergo extensive resting periods (telogen), which gives rise to thinner, weaker hair, or no hair at all. The sooner you get treatment, the more the follicles will be receptive to regenerative treatments. Our hair restoration treatment in Frederick is designed specifically with early thinning in mind, supplying a high concentration of growth factors and anti-inflammatory signals to support follicular function before more advanced hair loss occurs.

Why is our approach different?

At Sylvana, our procedure combines three powerful elements:

  1. Procell micro-channeling
    This is the refined form of micro-needling that brings consistent and controlled micro-channels on the scalp without tearing or a drag effect. Two things are done in these micro-channels: they provoke a natural wound-healing cascade – promoting collagen and elastin synthesis and improving local circulation. Increase penetration of topically applied actives up to several fold, enabling regenerative ingredients to get to deeper targets.
  2. Umbilical cord–derived exosomes
    Exosomes are small extracellular vesicles containing growth factors, cytokines, and signaling molecules which are perinatally derived. They have the effects of messengers, sending messages to your cells to repair, reduce inflammation, and regenerate. In the case of hair, exosomes can be used to move follicles out of dormancy, aid the anagen (growth) phase, and establish an ideal environment on the scalp.
  3. Wharton’s Jelly
    Wharton’s Jelly contains bioactive proteins and regenerative factors, isolated from the tissue of the umbilical cord that is used with exosome therapy. Combined, they offer a potent, anti-inflammatory, pro-regenerative signal to promote follicle well-being and scalp well-being.

By pairing micro-channeling with these regenerative treatments, our hair restoration treatment in Frederick can deliver signals precisely where they’re needed and do so more comfortably and effectively than many traditional treatments.

Exosomes and Wharton’s Jelly vs. PRP: what you should know

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is not the only solution for patients. PRP is made of your own blood and has growth factors, but it can also add in inflammatory factors and is often less concentrated with regenerative factors than products of umbilical cord origin. Exosomes contain a more specific combination of growth factors and anti-inflammatory molecules in a richer but bloodless confluence, plus a lower likelihood of post-procedure inflammation because of our umbilical cord-derived exosomes and Wharton-Jelly. These actives, in combination with Procell micro-channeling, have a higher ability to penetrate and enhance results.

The Stimulating Effect of Our Treatment on Dormant Follicles

  • Rehabilitating a healthy microenvironment
    Micro-inflammation and circulation are common problems involved in early-stage hair loss. Our treatment reduces inflammation and also enhances local circulation, besides supporting the extracellular matrix, making the environment conducive to hair growth.

  • Signaling follicles back into growth
    Exosomes provide growth factors in high concentration that stimulate follicles to resume the anagen phase. Wharton jelly also contributes to tissue healing and regeneration, as it restores diminished hairs of the miniature size and enhances the thickness of the shaft with time.

  • Enhancing nutrient and signal delivery
    The Procell micro-channeling enhances scalp receptivity. The micro-channels also allow exosomes and Wharton’s Jelly to penetrate deeper and therefore increase their penetration at the location of follicles.

  • Supporting stronger, denser hair
    In the course of a number of treatments, the majority of patients report increases in density, volume and hair quality. Although results in individual cases differ, an early intervention has more significant and longer effects.

Who is a good candidate?

Our hair restoration treatment in Frederick is most effective for:

  • Men and women with early-stage thinning or a widening part
  • Those experiencing stress-related or postpartum shedding
  • Patients with diffuse thinning or early crown/temple recession
  • Individuals seeking a non-surgical, no-blood-draw alternative to PRP

To verify that the treatment suits your needs, we will examine your health history, hair loss history, head condition, and any other objectives.

What to expect: step-by-step

  1. Consultation and scalp assessment
    We start with an assessment of your hair’s history, medical factors and lifestyle. Photos set a benchmark with which you can follow the development progress.

  2. Personalized treatment plan
    A series of sessions, which are usually separated by several weeks, will be planned with at-home care recommendations to facilitate outcomes.

  3. In-office session
    Prior to cleansing the scalp, we conduct Procell micro-channeling on regions of thinning. The next action involves the use of our umbilical cord-derived exosomes and Wharton’s Jelly during and immediately after micro-channeling maximize our effects. The majority of patients report that the session was comfortable with little downtime.

  4. Post-care guidance
    You will be given easy guidelines on how to take care of the scalp and maximize results. A number of patients resume normal activities the same day.

  5. Progressive improvement
    Hair restoration is a complex procedure. The shedding may be minimized initially, and later, the texture will improve, and with time, the density will increase. We take photos on each visit, so you can see the slight changes that add up to significant improvement.

How many sessions will I need?

Although treatment is tailored with respect to the individual patient, in most cases, early-stage loss of hair can be treated to effective levels with a series of treatments conducted at strategic intervals. Since exosome therapy can offer permanent results in comparison with others, with less maintenance over time. We will recommend a practical time frame in accordance with your situation, timing of hair growth and reaction during your consultation.

Ways to support your results

Even though our in-office procedure will give you the basic regenerative signal, your everyday routine will enhance results:

  • Scalp care: Have follicles free of debris; apply mild and evidence-based scalp care products prescribed.
  • Nutrition: Proper intake of protein, iron, biotin, zinc, and vitamin D would help hair production; we can organize testing and nutrition advice where necessary.
  • Stress management: Chronic stress contributes to shedding; there are basic process manipulations that can be employed to make follicles remain at the active stages of growth.
  • Follow the plan: Inconsistent sessions and maintenance visits are not effective.

In some cases, we might recommend complementary therapies, e.g. some scalp treatments using lasers or nutritional/IV therapies, which are available at Sylvana, to improve scalp health and hair quality even further.

Achievable Expectations 

No decent clinic is offering instant results in the form of overnight growth. Nonetheless, under an individualized plan and by following our standards, most patients will experience significant changes in density, volume, and quality of hair in a few months. Since we take standardized photos on the way, you will be able to quantify the progress you will make, which can help you stay driven.
