Non-Surgical

Understanding Non-Surgical Hair Loss Treatment in Toronto

Dr Paul Cotterill offers non-surgical hair loss treatments for individuals seeking to address hair thinning without surgery. These treatments stimulate hair regrowth and improve hair density through various methods. Options include Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, pharmaceutical medications like Finasteride and Minoxidil, and Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). Each treatment works differently: PRP uses growth factors from your blood to rejuvenate hair follicles, medications target the hormonal causes of hair loss, and LLLT uses light energy to stimulate hair growth. Non-surgical treatments are generally less invasive, require minimal downtime, and can be seamlessly integrated into your daily routine. Dr Paul Cotterill in Toronto specializes in these advanced hair loss treatments, offering customized solutions to meet each patient's unique needs. Reach out to us today to learn more.

PRP Hair Treatment

If you're experiencing hair loss, PRP therapy might be an ideal alternative to traditional hair transplants or medications. PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is derived from your blood and promotes hair regrowth. The concentrated plasma, rich in growth factors, is injected into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles and enhance hair density. This quick procedure requires no downtime, allowing you to resume your normal activities immediately. PRP is especially suitable for those seeking a non-surgical option for hair restoration. Dr Paul Cotterill offers expert PRP hair loss treatments tailored to individual hair loss conditions.

Pharmaceutical Medications

Finasteride

Finasteride is a prescription oral medication designed to treat androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male pattern baldness. It works by inhibiting the enzyme five alpha-reductase, which has been scientifically proven to reverse hair loss and stimulate hair growth. This enzyme converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which binds to hair follicles and causes them to shrink. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride helps slow hair loss and can lead to significant hair regrowth. Finasteride is also available as a topical gel.


Dr Paul Cotterill will determine the appropriate dosage to manage your hair loss effectively.

Minoxidil

Minoxidil is a topical treatment that encourages hair growth and is effective against various forms of alopecia. As the only over-the-counter ingredient clinically proven to combat hereditary hair loss, Minoxidil reactivates dormant hair follicles. It enhances blood flow and nutrient delivery to the scalp, strengthening hair from the roots. Minoxidil shortens the telogen (resting) phase of hair growth, prompting hair to enter the anagen (growing) phase more rapidly. Some studies also suggest it can increase hair thickness. Minoxidil is also available as an oral medication to be taken once daily. Dr Paul Cotterill can guide you on the proper use of Minoxidil to achieve the desired results.

Low-level Laser Therapy

Androgenic alopecia, which affects a significant number of men over 40 and women over 65, can be effectively managed with Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). This non-surgical, FDA-approved treatment uses red or near-infrared light to stimulate hair growth. The painless procedure employs laser diodes that emit wavelengths between 630 and 670 nanometers, ensuring no burns or discomfort. LLLT enhances cellular activity within hair follicles, promoting hair regrowth. Dr Paul Cotterill offers advanced LLLT treatments in Toronto, providing a modern solution to hair loss.
