Symptoms of hair loss include bald patches, receding hairlines and generalized thinning of the hair.

Hair Loss Treatment Tips:
Get Professional Microneedling with PRP Done
Microneedling is a procedure in which a device with micro-needles is used to create micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s healing process.
Studies have shown that microneedling is effective for treating hair loss and it results in hair regrowth with increased hair density and thickness. Other studies have proven that PRP (platelet rich plasma) is effective treatment for hair loss because it contains growth factors which stimulate the hair follicles and boost hair growth.
Microneedling with PRP has been proven effective for treating androgenic alopecia (AGA). Studies show favorable results when microneedling with PRP is used to treat alopecia areata (AA). JAAD also states that microneedling with PRP is effective for treating telogen effluvium, recalcitrant alopecia areata, traction alopecia and cicatricial alopecia.
Microneedling with PRP is therefore more effective for hair loss treatment because it increases hair growth, increases hair density and increases hair diameter which results in longer, thicker hair.
Microneedling with PRP is a natural hair loss treatment and also a hair loss treatment with no side effects because the PRP is obtained from your body.
We offer microneedling with PRP for hair loss treatment at our Nairobi Almasi Hair Clinic which is located in Fortis Suites, Hospital road, 8th floor, room 809. We see new clients on Saturdays at 10am and Wednesdays at 2pm.

Hair Loss Treatment Tips:
Microneedle at Home with a Derma Roller
A study found that using a Derma Roller plus using minoxidil was more effective than using minoxidil alone in treating men with androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Therefore, buy a Derma Roller and use it to microneedle your scalp each week and you will have better results than just using the medications alone.
We recommend a 0.5mm Derma Roller for home use.
The price in Kenya of a Derma Roller is Ksh 1500.

Eat Hair Loss Treatment Food
Eggs are great hair loss treatment foods because they provide the body with biotin which is required by the body to make the hair protein known as keratin. Eggs also contain zinc which is important since zinc deficiency has been linked to hair loss.
Fatty fish like salmon and herring are also superb foods since they provide vitamin D whose deficiency has been linked to hair loss. They also contain biotin.
Dark green leafy vegetables like spinach are also important since they contain iron because iron deficiency has been linked to hair loss.

Hair supplements are taken to boost hair growth, improve hair health and maintain a healthy scalp.
We recommend Nutra Harmony Biotin, Collagen & Keratin because it can be used by both men and women with hair loss. It contains biotin to boost production of the hair protein known as keratin and it also provides keratin to strengthen the strands. It contains collagen for healthy hair structure and hyaluronic acid to maintain a healthy scalp microbiome. It also contains vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B6.

Taking Pumpkin seed oil supplements is also useful for hair loss treatment because studies show that men who had androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and who took 400mg of pumpkin seed oil daily had more hair growth than those who did not. This is because pumpkin seed oil is a DHT blocker with anti-androgenic effects which help reduce hair follicle damage and hair loss. Pumpkin seed oil is also rich in zinc which strengthens the hair strand. It also contains omega 3s and omega 6s which nourish the hair follicles. Applying pumpkin seed oil to the scalp has also been shown by studies to be effective for female pattern hair loss.
