Sure, our hair is the ultimate accessory. But it's also a fundamental part of many people's identities. It frames our face and serves as a daily barometer for our confidence. That's why thinning hair, a receding hairline, or a widening part can feel so unsettling. It often triggers a frantic search for solutions, leading many down a rabbit hole of ineffective creams and "miracle" cures.
At Premier Plastic Surgery Center, we know you deserve better than guesswork. We offer a curated suite of non-surgical hair restoration therapies designed to stop the shedding and stimulate hair growth at the source. Male pattern hair loss, female pattern hair loss, or just a general loss of hair density can all be issues of the past. Our goal is to help you reclaim fuller hair without the downtime of surgery.
Non-invasive hair restoration refers to a category of medical treatments that stimulate hair follicles to enter the growth phase without the use of scalpels or sutures. Unlike hair restoration surgery (such as a hair transplant), these therapies don't involve moving hair grafts from one place to another.
Instead, they focus on the health of your existing hair and the biological environment of your scalp. Improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and delivering potent growth factors directly to the root wakes up dormant follicles and reverses hair thinning before it becomes permanent.
Choosing a non-surgical solution offers distinct advantages, particularly for those in the early to moderate stages of hair loss:
The ideal candidate is someone noticing the early signs of androgenetic alopecia (genetic thinning) or hair loss concerns related to stress, hormones, or age. These treatments for hair loss work best when there are still active hair follicles to stimulate.
You may be a good candidate if:
Doctor Victor Ferrari's Note on Timing: The biggest mistake I see patients make is waiting too long. Non-invasive treatments rely on stimulating a living follicle. If a follicle has been dormant for years and the scalp is smooth and shiny, non-surgical options are less effective. The moment you notice a change in your part width or ponytail thickness is the moment to come see us. Prevention is always easier than resurrection.
We use a multi-modal approach, often combining therapies to target hair loss from different angles.
This is one of the most established injection treatments in aesthetic medicine. We draw a small amount of the patient's blood and spin it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP). This plasma is packed with growth factors that, when injected into the scalp, signal new hair growth and repair healthy hair follicles. It's an effective and powerful way to increase blood flow and nutrient delivery.
For patients who prefer a needle-free option, we offer De|Rive, a plant-based system that uses ultrasound to drive active exosomes deep into the skin barrier. This topical treatment reduces inflammation and signals hair regrowth. It's an excellent alternative to injection treatments and focuses heavily on scalp health.
True restoration starts from within. We prescribe Nutrafol, a clinically proven nutraceutical that targets the root causes of thinning, such as stress and hormonal changes. Unlike basic vitamins, these use active ingredients like Ashwagandha and Saw Palmetto to support healthy hair growth systemically.
Conditions like alopecia areata or frontal fibrosing alopecia require specific medical management, so accurate diagnosis is key. At your consultation, we'll discuss your hair goals, examine your hair texture, and determine if you're a candidate for non-surgical options or if a hair restoration surgery would better serve you.
Most non-surgical hair loss treatments are quick, in-office appointments.
Recovery is minimal. For injection treatments like PRP, you may have mild tenderness, but you can resume normal activities immediately. We advise avoiding direct sunlight on the scalp for a few days (honestly, even longer if possible. Direct sun isn't good for your skin) and skipping harsh workouts for 24 hours. For topical treatments, we simply ask that you let the product absorb fully before washing.
Making scientific changes within your body takes time. Unlike a wig or extensions, treatments for hair require patience as the follicle cycles through its natural growth phase.
Doctor Ferrari's Note on Stacking: I often recommend "stacking" treatments for the best results. For example, using Nutrafol to balance your internal chemistry while using PRP or Exosomes to physically stimulate the scalp creates a powerful effect that a single treatment can't typically achieve on its own. It’s like watering a plant and fertilizing the soil at the same time.
The investment varies based on your treatment plan. Some patients need a short series of three treatments, while others require ongoing maintenance for androgenetic alopecia. During your consultation, we will provide a clear breakdown of the costs for PRP, Nutrafol, and other nonsurgical hair loss treatments.
You have many choices for treating hair loss, from over-the-counter products to local med-spas. However, hair restoration is a medical science. Dr. Ferrari brings over 20 years of experience to Charlotte, and he makes sure that your treatment plan is based on scientific evidence, not trends. He thoroughly understands the nuance between red light therapy, near infrared light, and clinical-grade biologics, ensuring you get the most effective care for your specific hair loss concerns.

No. A hair transplant is a surgical hair restoration technique that moves hair from the back of the head to the front. Our non-invasive options focus on stimulating existing hair and waking up dormant follicles without surgery.
Absolutely. Female pattern baldness and postmenopausal thinning respond very well to platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and Nutrafol.
For genetic conditions like male pattern hair loss, hair loss is chronic. Therefore, treatment continues to be necessary to maintain results. Most patients transition to a maintenance schedule of occasional touch-up appointments.
Most patients find the treatments very tolerable. Exosomes are painless, while PRP involves mild pinching that is well-managed with numbing.
Yes, if the follicles are still present. Stimulating hair follicles along the hairline can thicken the hair and prevent further recession, though it cannot grow hair on a completely smooth, bald forehead.
