Getting To The Root of Hair Health
by Medical Injector Vanessa Stripling, APRN

In Florida, summer arrives with a flourish of vibrant colors and sweet fragrances as the landscape bursts into bloom. The branches of mango trees arch under the weight of their fruit and the densely packed grass so lush it feels like carpet.  While these beauties of nature may seem happenstance, the seasoned gardener knows differently.  Just as a gardener tends to their plants with care, diligently watering, pruning, and nourishing them to promote growth and vitality, caring for your hair involves a similar regimen of maintenance and nourishment. Like plants, hair thrives when provided with the right nutrients, hydration, and protection from environmental stressors.

Thankfully, we offer multiple modalities to restore your hair to its previous luster or to maintain the mane you’ve so lovingly cared for. Of course, like everything we do here at the lab, each treatment is tailored to your individual needs.

The scalp serves as the foundation, or "root," of hair care, playing a pivotal role in the health and appearance of our locks. Often overlooked, yet critically important, the scalp serves as the fertile ground from which our hair grows, and its condition can significantly impact the overall health and vitality of our strands. Knowing this we begin with microscopy to examine the scalp and hair follicles at a magnified level.  We often find clogged follicles and a buildup of skin cells from the sunscreen we apply to our part, the dry hairspray we use to increase time between washes and the salty ocean water.  We then use the Hydrafacial Keravive to cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the scalp with their proprietary blend of growth factors and peptides to improve scalp health and stimulate hair growth. Immediately after your scalp will feel refreshed and hydrated. 

For those seeking even deeper nourishment and rejuvenation for their hair, emerging treatments utilizing Plated Hair exosomes hold promise in promoting scalp health and stimulating hair growth. While HydraFacial Keravive offers a rejuvenating boost to the scalp with its specialized serum formulated to hydrate and nourish, exosome therapies take scalp rejuvenation to the next level by harnessing the regenerative power of stem cell-derived exosomes. These tiny vesicles are rich in growth factors, cytokines, and other bioactive molecules that can penetrate deeply into the scalp, promoting cellular repair, stimulating hair follicle activity, and fostering an optimal environment for healthy hair growth.

While exosomes target the scalp directly with their regenerative properties, Nutrafol supplements work internally, providing a blend of vitamins, minerals, and botanical extracts that nourish the body and support healthy hair growth from the inside out. With ingredients like biotin, marine collagen, and saw palmetto, Nutrafol  addresses underlying causes that can impact hair health, such as stress, hormonal imbalances, and nutrient deficiencies. By combining the benefits of exosome therapies with the nutritional support of Nutrafol supplements, individuals can take a holistic approach to promoting scalp health and achieving vibrant, resilient hair.

Take time to care for your hair this summer to ensure that your locks flourish all year long.
