With this cutting-edge technique available at Ospina Medical in NYC, Dr. Matthew Kohler and Dr. Rajivan Maniam have helped many men and women regain fuller hair growth, a more youthful appearance, and boosted confidence levels. In this blog, you’ll find answers to many FAQ on SCP hair restoration, including how it works, what results are possible, and how to care for your scalp after treatment.

What is SCP hair treatment?

SCP hair loss treatment is a highly effective, minimally invasive therapy that helps encourage fuller, denser hair growth using natural regenerative properties found in the patient’s own body – meaning no prescription medications, topical creams, incisions, or surgery are required.

During SCP hair loss therapy, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient’s arm. In our on-site lab, the blood is then processed to separate powerful nutrients, proteins, and other substances that are prepared into a serum. During this stage, the patient’s scalp is gently numbed with a local anesthetic for comfort. Finally, your provider will inject the prepared serum into your scalp in a strategic distribution to best address areas of thinning hair or hair loss. Over time, the regenerative components of the naturally derived serum help to reverse the shrinkage of existing hair follicles, resulting in thicker, fuller growth from those follicles.

Is there any recovery time after SCP hair loss treatment?

Following an SCP hair treatment, patients can resume their daily activities with a few exceptions. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for 24 – 48 hours, and patients should not swim, use a hot tub, or submerge their heads underwater. Depending on the details of your treatment, your provider may also instruct you not to shower or wash your hair for the first 24 hours. When cleared by your provider, be sure to follow their instructions on how to safely care for your recently treated scalp. These may include:

• Using a specialized shampoo
• Avoiding extreme water temperatures
• Not getting overheated
• Using extra care when styling your hair
• Not wearing a hat right after treatment
• Not smoking

Is SCP treatment for hair loss permanent?

While the results of SCP hair loss treatment can be striking, patients should understand that the treatment is not designed to be a permanent hair restoration solution. Still, the effects of SCP hair loss treatment can last for up to a year or longer. Following the initial round of therapy, many patients choose to schedule regular SCP treatments every 9 – 12 months to maintain consistent growth. Our caring team will work closely with you to create a treatment schedule that helps fit your needs and keeps you looking and feeling your best over time.
