Traction Alopecia

Hairstyles like braids, sewins and lacefront wigs are very common in our community. Unfortunately, these styles are the biggest causes of traction alopecia. Which is the thinning and loss of hair due to putting too much pressure on the hair by constantly pulling it.

Caught early, it is reversible and the hair can regrow. But you have to act fast, because over time the hair follicles may die and never come back.

At Nina Ross Hair Therapy, we reverse traction alopecia by applying innovative solutions that stop the loss of your hair and spark re-growth.

Signs of Traction Alopecia

Signs of Traction Alopecia could include having a receding hairline typically around the forehead, temples, or nape

small pimples appear on the scalp or at the base of braids
redness, itching, and ulcers on the scalp
the hair parting widens
patches of thin or broken hair in places where the hair has been under strain
patches of shiny, scarred skin in more advanced cases

How we Reverse Traction Alopecia

We’ve all taken things like Biotin to help with hair growth, but the problem is we have no idea how much of that pill our body is digesting.

Our treatment works by infusing growth factors, platelet rich plasma, vitamins and minerals straight into the scalp, directly feeding the blood supply and sparking the growth process.

What can you do about Traction Alopecia?

Activate healthy inflammation in the area, this lets the body know that there is a problem in the area (traction alopecia) that needs the body’s attention.

Use Electroporation and Microneedling to infuse active ingredients into the deeper middle layers of the scalp that serums and oils applied by hand can’t reach.
These growth factors immediately begin to strengthening the weakened hair shafts to prevent further hair fall.
The process of healthy inflammation and vitamin infusions will go to work on stimulating the dormant follicles to grow in.
The first batch of new hair will be soft but will eventually become thicker and stronger, and then, over time, it will grow noticeably longer.
Each case is different but in most cases a person will start to see improvement in hair texture, thickness of hair shaft and appearance of new hairs in the treated area within 12 weeks after the first treatment.
