Scalp Injections With Microneedling

Understanding Hair Loss

Hair loss comes in many forms, from gradual thinning to complete baldness in specific areas. While typically more noticeable in men, women also experience hair loss, often as a widening part. Regardless of who it affects, most hair loss stems from one of these common causes:

• Androgenetic alopecia triggered by hormones and genetics
• Nutrient deficiencies affecting hair follicle health
• Stress-related shedding and hair loss
• Autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata
• Aging-related changes to hair follicle function

Conventional treatments such as topical minoxidil, oral medications and hair transplants may provide some relief but come with limitations. Medications require continuous use to be effective, while hair transplant procedures are invasive and expensive. Regenerative scalp injections offer an effective alternative that targets the cellular mechanisms of hair growth.

Are Scalp Injections Right for Me?

Both men and women can undergo scalp injections to promote improved hair growth, thickness and density. However, this procedure is suitable for individuals with some remaining hair — those who are completely bald are not candidates for treatment. Regenerative scalp injections can be appropriate for individuals experiencing hair loss from various causes, including:

• Early to moderate androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness)
• Thinning hair related to aging or hormonal changes
• Post-pregnancy hair loss that hasn’t responded to other treatments
• Stress-related hair shedding that persists after the stressor is removed
• Hair loss associated with certain scalp conditions or inflammation

The ideal candidate is in good health and has realistic expectations about the gradual nature of hair restoration. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate factors like the progression of your hair loss and its underlying causes to determine if our regenerative therapies align with your goals.

Scalp Injections at Balanced Medical Solutions

At Balanced Medical Solutions, we provide advanced microneedling hair loss treatments that utilize PRP, or regenerative stem cells. These revolutionary therapies work with your body’s natural healing processes to address the root causes of hair loss for meaningful results.

Stem Cell Injections

Stem cells are the body’s primary regenerative agents, with remarkable abilities to promote healing and repair.  When injected into the scalp, these specialized cells initiate a comprehensive restoration process that targets the underlying causes of hair loss. All of our stem cell injections start with microneedling to increase absorption and efficacy.

Stem cells promote new growth by revitalizing the hair follicle microenvironment. Hair follicles contain their own stem cells that regulate the growth cycle, but these can become dormant or damaged over time. By introducing new, vibrant stem cells into affected areas, we can potentially reactivate the natural growth cycle and improve the health of your scalp.

Our stem cell treatments work through multiple mechanisms to support hair regrowth:

• Stimulating dormant hair follicles through released stem cells and growth factors, potentially reactivating those that have stopped producing hair
• Improving blood circulation to the scalp, ensuring the hair follicles receive adequate oxygen and nutrients essential for healthy growth
• Reducing inflammation in the scalp that can contribute to hair loss
• Supporting the regeneration of follicular cells necessary for normal hair production
• Proliferation of hair follicle stem cells, increasing the length of the growth cycle
• The formation of new, healthy blood vessels to promote hair growth
• Delivering growth factors that may increase hair thickness and density

This procedure utilizes MSC stem cells sourced from placental and umbilical tissues (Wharton’s Jelly) donated by healthy, pre-screened mothers after full-term pregnancies. These cells are processed in FDA-regulated facilities to ensure safety and quality. Our stem cell injections are combined with Vitti-Pure to jumpstart healing and enhance the effectiveness of treatment.

What is Vitti-Pure and Why is it Added to Stem Cell Injections?

Vitti-Pure is a regenerative biologic derived from processed human umbilical cord tissue. It is considered an acellular matrix, meaning it typically does not contain live stem cells but instead provides many of the signaling molecules and structural components that stem cells produce. These include growth factors, cytokines, collagen, hyaluronic acid, and extracellular matrix proteins, all of which help support tissue repair and cellular communication.

In scalp injections for hair restoration, Vitti-Pure is added to treatments such as stem-cell therapies because it helps create a more regenerative environment around hair follicles. The growth factors can stimulate dormant follicles, reduce inflammation, and support the scalp’s micro-circulation, while the extracellular matrix acts as a biologic scaffold that supports tissue healing and follicle activity. This combination may enhance the effectiveness of regenerative hair treatments by improving the conditions needed for hair follicles to grow and thrive.

 Components of Vitti-Pure include:

• Growth factors and cytokines (cell signaling molecules)

• Collagen proteins (some sources cite dozens of collagen types)

• Hyaluronic acid and glycosaminoglycans

• Peptides and nucleic acids

• Extracellular matrix proteins like elastin and fibronectin

The Procedure: What to Expect

At Balanced Medical Solutions, we’ve designed our regenerative scalp injection procedures with your comfort and convenience in mind. Your treatment begins with a consultation to review your medical history, gauge the extent of your hair loss and discuss your goals. Our team will perform the necessary evaluations to determine the best treatment approach for you.

The treatment process involves microneedling and then a series of small injections administered across affected areas of the scalp. The procedure is minimally invasive, typically requires no downtime, and can be completed in under an hour. Patients may return to normal activities immediately afterward, making exosome scalp injections an accessible option even for those with busy schedules.

On the day of treatment, the treatment area will be cleaned and prepared with microneedling, and a topical numbing agent may be applied to minimize any discomfort. The actual injection process usually takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. Afterward, you can resume normal activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for the next 24 hours and not washing your hair until the following day. Some patients experience mild redness or tenderness at the injection sites, but these symptoms typically resolve within hours.

Most patients require a series of two to four treatments spaced several weeks apart for optimal results. The regenerative process works gradually, with initial improvements often noticeable within two to three months and continued hair growth occurring over six to 12 months. During your consultation, our experienced team will create a customized treatment schedule based on your specific hair restoration needs, monitoring your progress with follow-up appointments.
