Taking a Comprehensive Approach to Battle Hair Loss From All Angles

Combating hair loss requires a proactive and effective approach.  At Midwest Dermatology and Midwest DERMaesthetics, we are joining forces to take a one, two, three punch against hair loss with a Fall special to kick things off.

Midwest DERMaesthetics is offering a Fall special to help you get started in your personal affront on hair loss.  Start with a Keravive Package that includes three treatments and FREE take home Keravive Peptide Complex Spray with growth factors and skin proteins at each treatment. Additionally, we will include one FREE Viviscal Professional 60 count hair growth supplement and 25% off Viviscal Professional Hair Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner. 

 STEP ONE:  Start with a Medical Professional Dermatologist, like the board-certified dermatologists at Midwest Dermatology, who are medical professionals specializing in treating conditions of the skin and scalp, hair and nails. Dermatologists are experts in treating alopecia, the medical term for any kind of hair loss. Here are some of the comprehensive things you might experience at a Midwest Dermatology appointment for thinning hair:

1. A consultation and diagnosis. Your doctor will review your history, meaning how long hair loss has been happening, what medications you are taking, what pattern of hair loss is happening in your immediate family, and so on. That leads us to a diagnosis, which is crucial because we are going to decide on our approach depending on that finding.
2. We might do some testing. Not all hair loss requires testing.  Sometimes it’s just an unfortunate genetic predisposition.  But it might be related to hormones, stress and even the way you are styling your hair.  So tests like blood labs and hair pulls might help us get to the root of the cause.  Your dermatologist will decide whether tests will be helpful or just an unnecessary expense.
3. Treatment: Here’s where it gets good.  Modern treatment can often help, especially when it comes to slowing down hair loss.  Topical medications, oral medications, and even your own plasma that is made from spinning your blood and enriching it with proteins for injection into the scalp are just some of the newest answers to hair loss.

Your Midwest Dermatology physician wants you to know that it does not stop here.  There are other tools that continue to build on this clinical foundation. Both Step Two and Step Three help you to take a comprehensive approach for newer, thicker, and healthier hair.

STEP TWO:  Prep Your Scalp For Healthy Hair With Keravive Treatment from HydraFacial

HydraFacial Keravive is a specialized skincare treatment designed to address issues related to hair loss and scalp health. Kimberly Niebur, a licensed aesthetician at Midwest DERMaesthetics, offers Keravive at Midwest Dermatology’s Lakeside office and the new Dodge Street location. The primary goal of HydraFacial Keravive is to create an optimal environment for hair growth by improving the condition of the scalp and hair follicles.

Here’s how the treatment works:

1. Non-Invasive Procedure: HydraFacial Keravive is a non-invasive procedure, which means it doesn’t involve surgery or any significant downtime.
2. Nutrient Infusion: During the treatment, a patented vortex system is used to infuse essential nutrients into the scalp. These nutrients are carefully selected to promote hair growth and enhance scalp health.
3. Improving Scalp Condition: The procedure is focused on improving the condition of the scalp, which is crucial for healthy hair growth. It may address issues like dryness, flakiness, and inflammation that can negatively affect the hair follicles.
4. Promoting Hair Growth: By creating a more favorable environment for hair follicles, HydraFacial Keravive aims to promote the growth of healthier, stronger hair.
5. Relaxing Experience: One notable feature of this treatment is that it feels amazing. Imagine a spa treatment for your scalp that includes deep massage.    You’ll leave with some wet hair though, so plan accordingly.

It’s important to note that the effectiveness of HydraFacial Keravive may vary from person to person, and multiple sessions are recommended for the best results. If you’re interested in this treatment, talk with Kimberly to determine if it’s an option for your specific needs.

STEP THREE:  Supplement Your Approach With A Shark Attack

Sharks and thicker hair might sound like a quirky new movie but believe it or not, there is a true connection.  It’s called Viviscal Professional, our preferred supplement for new hair growth.

Viviscal’s star ingredient is – you guessed it – shark powder. That explains its slightly fishy taste and its higher price tag (about $60 a month). Used by celebrities and models, Viviscal’s signature AminoMar marine complex blend is made up of both shark powder and mollusk powder.

If you are wondering how it works, in the 1980s, a Scandinavian professor studying the Intuits found that the indigenous people had a fish-and-protein rich diet to thank for their extraordinary skin and hair. And isolating the key molecules of the Intuit diet led to the creation of AminoMar. More recently, a double-blind study published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology concluded the  effectiveness of Viviscal and its ocean-based powders.

At Midwest Dermatology we give you access to Viviscal Professional.  That is a different formula than the generic version of Viviscal you see in the drugstore.  Viviscal Professional is 100% drug-free and has the right combination of ingredients that deliver essential nourishment to hair follicles via the bloodstream, effectively extending the growth cycle.  A noticeable improvement may be seen in your hair’s health within the span of three to six months.

Viviscal Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner are great additions to your Viviscal daily hair growth program.  Packed with ingredients to coax out the best in your skin’s healthy look and feel, you will want to take a comprehensive approach using these excellent products.

Midwest DERMaesthetics is offering a Fall special to help you get started in your personal affront on hair loss.  Start with a Keravive Package that includes three treatments and FREE take home Keravive Peptide Complex Spray with growth factors and skin proteins at each treatment.
