Understanding Hair Loss and Treatment Options
How Non-Surgical Hair Restoration Works
Hair restoration at Mirror Plastic Surgery focuses on medical treatments that support follicle health, new growth, and better hair density. These treatments use your body’s own repair processes to improve the scalp environment.
Acorn Biolabs Secretome: Secretome is the collection of molecules released by stem cells. Acorn Biolabs Secretome delivers a concentrated mix of growth factors, cytokines, and other signaling molecules to the scalp. These molecules support cell communication and regeneration, creating a healthier environment for follicles and encouraging dormant follicles to become more active.*
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): PRP starts with a small blood draw. The sample is processed to concentrate platelets, which contain growth factors involved in tissue repair. The PRP is then injected into targeted areas of the scalp to help stimulate follicles, lengthen the growth phase, and support thicker hair over time.* Systemic illnesses and medications are reviewed carefully when new hair loss appears, which helps guide safe PRP use.
Who Benefits Most From Hair Restoration
Many people with early to moderate hair loss respond well to non-surgical hair restoration. This can include:
Male and female pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia)
Diffuse thinning without complete bald patches
Hair shedding linked to stress, hormonal change, or certain medical issues
Hair loss may involve hereditary factors, hormonal changes, medications, medical conditions, radiation, or major physical or emotional stress. A thorough consultation helps separate temporary shedding from long-term follicle loss so the plan fits your situation.
Expected Results Over Time*
Results from Acorn Biolabs Secretome and PRP tend to build gradually. Many patients notice changes in:
Hair density and coverage
Strand thickness and texture
Overall scalp and hair health
Most improvement appears over several months as hair cycles progress. Degree of hair loss, underlying causes, and consistency with follow-up visits all influence individual outcomes.*
What To Expect From Your Hair Restoration Consultation
Comprehensive Evaluation Before Treatment
The process begins with an in-depth, approximately one-hour consultation in St. Petersburg. The visit typically includes:
Discussion of your medical history and medications
Review of hair loss patterns and timing
Scalp examination for density, miniaturization, and inflammation
Conversation about your goals and comfort level with different options
Stephanie may also recommend lab testing, such as iron studies, vitamin D, thyroid function, or hormone levels. Nutrient deficiencies such as low iron, vitamin D, or biotin are often identified in women with diffuse thinning. Addressing these findings can improve overall results.
How To Prepare For Treatment
Your specific preparation steps depend on your health history, but many patients are asked to:
Avoid alcohol, blood-thinning medications, and certain supplements for a short period before treatment, if medically appropriate
Arrive with clean hair and scalp, without styling products
Plan for a low-activity day after injections if you prefer extra rest
The team will confirm all instructions during your consultation so you know what to expect.

Recovery and Aftercare
Simple Post-Treatment Care
After non-surgical hair restoration, most aftercare steps are straightforward. Many patients receive guidance to:
Use gentle shampoo and avoid harsh scalp treatments for a short period
Limit sun exposure to the treated area or wear a hat outside
Avoid scratching or rubbing the scalp while it settles
Healing Timeline and Early Changes*
Most people experience only mild soreness, redness, or swelling at injection sites, which usually fades within a few days. Visible hair changes take longer, since follicles move through natural growth cycles. Many patients start to see improvement between three and six months, with continued gains up to a year.*
Activity Guidelines After Treatment
Most normal daily activities can resume the same day or the day after treatment. The team may recommend that you:
Delay intense workouts or heavy lifting for one to two days
Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and swimming for a brief period
Schedule follow-up visits to track progress and plan maintenance
Key Considerations For Effective Hair Restoration
Realistic expectations and a thorough workup create the foundation for good results. Non-surgical treatments rarely provide instant change and often work best as a series of sessions with periodic maintenance.
Hair loss can relate to age, hormone shifts, thyroid disease, nutritional deficiency, scalp infections, autoimmune disease, and some sexually transmitted infections. An experienced provider can sort through these factors, explain why certain therapies are recommended, and help you avoid options that are unlikely to help.
Mirror Plastic Surgery emphasizes accurate diagnosis, clear education, and ongoing support. The goal is to address the drivers of hair loss where possible and optimize the scalp environment for long-term improvement.
Cost and Planning Your Investment
Pricing for hair restoration varies based on your pattern of hair loss, treatment type, and number of sessions recommended. A personalized consultation allows Stephanie to review options, outline a phased plan if helpful, and discuss expected maintenance so you can plan ahead.*
Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Restoration
How long does it take to see results?
Most patients start to notice fuller or thicker hair between three and six months after beginning Acorn Biolabs Secretome or PRP treatments. Many see continued improvement up to 9–12 months as hair cycles complete. Timing varies based on the degree of hair loss, overall health, and how closely the recommended schedule is followed.*
Are the treatments painful?
Discomfort is usually mild. A topical numbing agent is applied before injections, and most people describe brief pressure or stinging rather than sharp pain. The team monitors your comfort throughout the session and can adjust technique as needed.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients start with a series of several sessions spaced a few weeks apart, followed by periodic maintenance to support ongoing growth. The exact number depends on your starting point and goals. Stephanie will map out a schedule that fits your pattern of hair loss and preferred pace.
Can treatment restore completely bald areas?
Non-surgical hair restoration generally works best where follicles are still present but underperforming. Advanced, longstanding baldness with smooth skin often has fewer active follicles to respond. Early evaluation tends to provide the most options and the strongest potential response.*
What side effects should I know about?
Most side effects from Acorn Biolabs Secretome and PRP are temporary. Some people notice short-term redness, tenderness, swelling, or small bruises at injection sites. PRP uses your own blood, so allergy risk is low. Your consultation includes a detailed review of potential risks and how they are minimized.
