The Specifics
What is TriGen+?
TriGen+ is a multimodal non-invasive home use hair restoration treatment combining PRP (platelet rich plasma injections), low level laser therapy (LLLT) for blood flow stimulation to hair shafts, and hair restoration products like Minoxidil (Rogaine). This combination results in improved hair thickness, reduced hair loss, and more hair growth.
Anatomy of the Hair Follicle
TriGen+ may be used to treat alopecia areata, male pattern baldness and female pattern hair loss aka androgenetic alopecia, and hair thinning. Unlike a hair transplant, this non-surgical hair loss treatment produces a natural hair replacement for new hair and a denser head of hair.
What cosmetic concerns does TriGen+ treat?
Who is the ideal candidate for a TriGen+ treatment?
The ideal candidate for TriGen+ is in the early stages of hair loss, or has androgenic alopecia and desires a multimodal treatment for hair loss and hair thinning. TriGen+ is not recommended for those with low platelet count, hemodynamic instability, hypofibrinogenemia, live disease, infection, scarring alopecia, or those who drink or smoke excessively.
What is the average recovery associated with a TriGen+ treatment?
There is no recovery time following a TriGen+ treatment. All normal activities and hair care may be resumed as directed. Very mild stinging or tightness may follow a PRP injection.
What are the potential side effects of a TriGen+ treatment?
Possible side effects form TriGen+ therapy are mostly related to the PRP injections and include pinpoint bleeding, minimal pain, tightness, redness, and allergic reaction.
What can someone expect from the results of a TriGen+ treatment?
The results of TriGen+ will begin to evolve slowly over months, and will be best after one year. PRP injections are advised monthly for one to three treatments, which will stabilize hair loss. Hair fullness will increase after three to six months of continued LLLT and topical hair restoration product use.What is the average cost of a TriGen+ treatment?
A TriGen+ procedure can cost anywhere from $4,000 to $12,000. The actual cost of TriGen+ is dependent upon location, hair loss specialist or dermatologist, and length and involvement of the cosmetic procedure.
