Regenerative Medicine for Hair Loss
Using your body’s own healing power to help your hair.
When most people think about hair loss treatments, they think about pills, foams, or surgery. Regenerative medicine is different. Options include using your body’s own healing signals or umbilical cord-derived stem cells, and low-energy red light scalp therapy to wake up struggling hair follicles and support healthier growth.
Think of your scalp like soil and your hair follicles like tiny plants.
Regenerative treatments don’t just “water” the plants—they improve the soil, calm inflammation, and bring in more of the natural signals your follicles need to grow stronger, thicker hair.
At YAKER Hair Restoration, we offer three main regenerative options:
- Precision PRP™ Therapy – using your own platelets via blood draw
- Umbilical cord–derived regenerative treatments – using Wharton’s Jelly–based biologics
- Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) – using gentle, medical red light
These treatments can be used alone, but often work best when combined with clinically proven medications like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil.
How Regenerative Treatments Help Your Hair
Most hair loss, especially genetic hair loss, doesn’t happen overnight. Think of it like a plant slowly losing strength: hair follicles don’t suddenly “die,” they gradually shrink and produce thinner, weaker strands until they can no longer grow visible hair at all.
When hair sheds suddenly, that’s a different story. Abrupt shedding is usually a signal that something has triggered the hair follicles — scalp fungus, hormones, nutrition, vitamin/mineral deficiencies, or inflammation. In those cases, it’s important to identify the cause first. Otherwise, you’re only treating the smoke (the shedding you see) without addressing the fire (the underlying trigger(s) that started it).
Regenerative medicine focuses on three big goals:
- Wake up “sleepy” hair follicles before they shut down
- Calm inflammation in the scalp that can damage hair follicles
- Improve blood flow and growth signals around the hair follicles
In early to moderate stages of hair loss, this can mean fuller, stronger, healthier-looking hair and better long-term preservation.
Why We Combine Treatments
No single treatment is a magic wand. Hair loss is complex, and most people get better results with a combination approach.
For example:
- PRP + medications can protect and thicken hair from both inside and out
- Umbilical cord–derived therapy + PRP can layer powerful growth signals with your own natural healing
- LLLT + minoxidil and finasteride often works better than either treatment alone
Think of it like this:
- Medications help remove what’s harming the garden (like weeds or toxins)
- Regenerative treatments improve the soil and root health
- Lasers act like daily sunlight and energy for the plants
Together, they create the best possible environment for your hair.
What Regenerative Medicine Can and Can’t Do
What can it do
- Thicken and strengthen existing hair
- Improve scalp health and blood flow
- Slow or stabilize certain types of hair loss
- Enhance and speed healing after hair transplant
- Improve results when used with other medical therapies
What it can’t do
- Create new hair follicles in areas that are completely bald
- Reverse advanced scarring where hair follicles are permanently destroyed
- Replace the need for ongoing maintenance with medications in genetic hair loss
Regenerative medicine is one powerful part of a long-term plan, not a one-time cure.
Am I a Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for regenerative treatments if:
- You have early to moderate thinning (not complete baldness)
- You still see fine, wispy hairs in the area—not just smooth skin
- You’re open to a maintenance-based approach, not a quick fix
- You want to use treatments that work with your body, not just on it
During your consultation, we’ll examine your scalp, review your medical history, and design a plan that may include medications, PRP, umbilical cord–derived biologics, Low Level Laser Therapy, or hair transplant—depending on your goals and stage of hair loss.
The Takeaway
Regenerative medicine is about helping your hair help itself. By using your own platelets, carefully prepared biologics, and medical-grade laser light, we can support the health of your hair follicles from multiple angles. If you’re starting to notice thinning—or want to protect the investment you’ve made with other treatments—regenerative therapies like Precision PRP™, umbilical cord–derived products, and LLLT can be a powerful, science-backed way to keep your hair stronger for longer.
