Hair Loss Treatment
Key Takeaways
Modern hair restoration in 2025 focuses on stimulating natural hair growth while slowing further loss, using therapies such as PRP and regenerative secretome treatments.
PRP therapy and Acorn Biolabs Secretome support follicle health and density in different ways, and often work best as part of a combined treatment plan.
Most non-surgical hair loss treatments involve minimal downtime, with gradual results that usually appear over several months.
A thorough consultation, realistic expectations, and a personalized plan are essential for safe, effective hair restoration.
Mirror Plastic Surgery Med Spa provides customized, evidence-based hair loss treatment plans; schedule a consultation to discuss your options.
Overview of Hair Loss Treatment Options
Current hair restoration options aim to reactivate follicles and protect the hair you still have. Treatments use regenerative medicine, growth factor therapy, and targeted delivery systems to improve hair density, scalp health, and overall coverage*. These therapies give people with different types of thinning a broader range of solutions than in the past.
The field now extends well beyond traditional hair transplants. Patients can choose minimally invasive options that work with the body’s natural healing processes, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and secretome-based treatments that act at the cellular level.
What Sets Mirror Plastic Surgery Apart for Hair Restoration
Mirror Plastic Surgery follows a concierge-style approach that focuses on time, education, and safety. Consultations can last up to an hour, allowing for a detailed review of hair loss patterns, scalp health, medical history, and goals.
The practice follows three core priorities: safety first, function second, and aesthetics third. Each treatment plan is built around your health, hair and scalp condition, and realistic outcomes, rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Patients can start with a comprehensive visit tailored to their concerns and goals. Book an appointment with Stephanie to begin your personalized assessment.
Meet Stephanie DeSimone: Your Hair Restoration Specialist
Stephanie DeSimone, Aesthetic Injector at Mirror Plastic Surgery, combines a strong scientific background with extensive procedural experience. Her mathematics degree and years as a surgical assistant support a careful, analytic approach to treatment planning and technique.
Her understanding of both surface and deeper anatomy helps guide precise placement of treatments such as PRP and Acorn Biolabs Secretome. Each plan focuses on natural-looking improvement in density and coverage, while supporting long-term hair and scalp health.
Understanding Hair Loss Treatment Procedures
Modern hair restoration often combines several approaches. Each option targets a different part of the hair growth cycle or hormonal and inflammatory influences on follicles.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy for Hair Restoration
PRP therapy uses a patient’s own platelet-rich plasma, concentrated with growth factors, to stimulate and strengthen hair follicles. A small amount of blood is drawn, processed to isolate PRP, and then injected into targeted areas of the scalp. This approach supports follicle health, collagen production, blood flow, and activity in dormant follicles. Microneedling before injections can improve PRP absorption and effectiveness.
Good candidates often include people with hereditary androgenetic alopecia, gradual thinning, or relatively recent hair loss within about 3–5 years. Treatment plans commonly involve 2–3 sessions about a month apart.
Expected results typically include less shedding within a few months, with 70–80% of patients noticing thicker strands and possible new growth in thinning areas about 3 months after the final session. Combined treatment plans that include PRP may produce up to 30% thicker hair*.
Acorn Biolabs Secretome for Hair Restoration
Acorn Biolabs Secretome uses a concentrated solution of growth factors, proteins, and signaling molecules derived from stem cells. These bioactive components work together to stimulate dormant follicles, support new hair growth, and improve the quality of existing hair.
Ideal candidates include people with early hair thinning, diffuse shedding, or those who want to enhance hair quality and scalp health without surgery. Secretome can be administered through injections or topical application, and it is often paired with microneedling to improve penetration.
Patients often notice gradual changes in density, strand strength, and scalp condition over several hair growth cycles*. This therapy can fit well into a broader plan that includes PRP, topical medications, or lifestyle changes.
Complementary Hair Loss Treatment Options
Adjunctive treatments can help maintain and enhance results from PRP or Secretome:
Topical minoxidil supports follicle activity in androgenetic alopecia, with results often visible after 4–6 months of steady use.
Oral finasteride reduces a key hormone involved in male pattern hair loss and can slow shedding and support regrowth.
Energy-based treatments such as radiofrequency or ultrasound can improve scalp circulation and skin quality in select patients.
Microneedling helps create microchannels that increase topical absorption and stimulate collagen around follicles.
Emerging molecules such as PP405 from UCLA aim to reactivate dormant but intact follicles and showed promising terminal hair growth in early trials.
Preparing for Your Hair Loss Treatment
Consultations at Mirror Plastic Surgery begin with a structured review of your hair loss history, medical background, and lifestyle. This assessment helps identify contributing factors such as hormones, medications, stress, or nutritional gaps.
Preparation before treatment may include pausing blood-thinning medications like aspirin or NSAIDs when medically appropriate, adjusting certain supplements, and updating hair care routines. Your provider will review current medications, prior hair treatments, and any health conditions to design a safe, individualized plan.
Some patients also receive guidance on diet, key vitamins, and gentle styling practices that support scalp health and treatment outcomes.
Recovery and Post-Treatment Expectations
Most non-surgical hair loss treatments involve minimal downtime, and many patients return to routine activities the same day. Standard instructions often include avoiding hair washing for 24 hours, limiting intense exercise, and protecting the scalp from direct sun right after treatment.
Results appear gradually. Many people notice reduced shedding within several months, followed by visible thickening and areas of regrowth. Mild tenderness or swelling around injection points can occur and usually resolves within a day or two*.
Activity limits typically last 24–48 hours. Your provider will review specific restrictions and follow-up timelines based on the treatment plan.
Important Considerations: What to Look Out For and Avoid
Effective hair restoration requires realistic expectations. Hair density improves over months, not days, and usually needs more than one session and an ongoing maintenance plan. Many over-the-counter products do not match the strength or evidence of medical treatments.
Choosing an experienced, qualified provider is critical. Look for practices that offer full assessments, explain the reasoning behind recommendations, and provide follow-up support before and after each session.
Clinics that promise guaranteed outcomes, instant regrowth, or the same plan for every patient can be a red flag. High-quality practices use reputable products, follow strict safety protocols, and prioritize long-term hair health over quick fixes.
Cost of Hair Loss Treatment Options
Pricing depends on the type of treatment, number of sessions, and degree of hair loss. Personalized consultations allow your provider to match options to your pattern of thinning, scalp condition, and goals, then outline expected costs*.
During your visit, you will receive a clear treatment plan and cost estimate so you can decide what best fits your priorities and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Loss Treatment Options
What is the difference between PRP and Acorn Biolabs Secretome for hair restoration?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) uses growth factors from your own blood to stimulate follicles and support natural repair. Acorn Biolabs Secretome delivers a wider range of regenerative molecules from stem cells, which can influence multiple pathways involved in follicle activity. Many patients benefit from a plan that includes both therapies at different stages.
How long does it take to see results from hair restoration treatments?
Most patients notice early changes such as reduced shedding within 3–6 months. PRP often leads to thicker strands and new growth areas several months after the final session. Topical medications like minoxidil usually require 4–6 months of consistent use before meaningful improvement appears.
Are hair restoration treatments painful or uncomfortable?
Non-surgical treatments such as PRP injections and Secretome therapy are generally well tolerated. Providers typically apply numbing cream or local anesthesia before injections. Temporary soreness or sensitivity at the treatment sites can occur and usually improves within 24–48 hours.
Can different hair restoration treatments be combined for better results?
Combination therapy often produces more noticeable improvement than a single treatment alone. Examples include pairing PRP with minoxidil, finasteride, Secretome, or microneedling to address multiple causes of hair loss at once and support maintenance over time.
Who is the ideal candidate for non-surgical hair restoration treatments?
Good candidates typically include men and women with early to moderate thinning, especially those with androgenetic alopecia and hair loss within the last several years. General good health, realistic expectations, and commitment to follow-up treatments and home care all support better results.
