What Is Thinning Hair?
Experiencing thinning hair? You're not alone. At Advanced Aesthetics, we understand how changes in hair volume can affect not just your look but your confidence, too.
Hair thinning can be attributed to several factors, including:
- Genetic predisposition: Often, thinning hair is a trait inherited from your family, affecting men and women alike.
- Hormonal changes: Shifts in hormones due to pregnancy, menopause, or thyroid issues can lead to hair loss.
- Nutritional deficiencies: Lack of vital nutrients like iron, protein, and vitamins can impact hair health and density.
- Stress: Both physical and emotional stress can trigger temporary hair thinning.
- Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions and treatments, such as chemotherapy, can lead to hair loss.
- Aging: As we age, the rate of hair growth can slow, leading to thinner hair over time.
Thinning hair is a common concern that affects many people, regardless of age and gender. But here's some good news: it's not something you have to live with.

What Treatments Are Offered for Thinning Hair?
Here at Advanced Aesthetics, we're proud to offer SkinPen + PRP regenerative treatment. This revolutionary approach combines the healing powers of your own body with advanced technology to stimulate hair growth and scalp health.
SkinPen + PRP
This standout treatment combines micro-needling with regenerative therapy. The SkinPen creates micro-injuries in the scalp, which triggers the body's natural healing process, while the PRP, derived from your own blood, is rich in growth factors that promote hair regrowth and scalp health.
It's a powerful duo that addresses hair thinning at the source, encouraging your body to naturally rejuvenate and restore hair density.
What Is the Treatment Time for Regrowing Thinning Hair?
Navigating the path to thicker, fuller hair with SkinPen + PRP at Advanced Aesthetics is an exciting journey—and one of the most common questions we hear is, "How long will it take?"
We're here to guide you through the timeline and what to expect, ensuring you feel informed and confident every step of the way.
SkinPen treatment typically involves a series of sessions spaced about four to six weeks apart. Each in-office session takes approximately 60 to 75 minutes of total treatment time, which includes time for the patient to have topical numbing cream applied pre-procedure before the SkinPen is used to create micro-injuries in the scalp, followed by the application of PRP to promote healing and hair growth.
While the healing process starts immediately, visible improvements in hair thickness and coverage are usually noticed after about three to six months. This timeline can vary based on individual factors, such as the extent of hair thinning and overall health.
To maximize the effectiveness of your treatment, we may recommend follow-up sessions or a maintenance schedule. This personalized plan is designed to support and sustain your hair growth results over the long term.
What Is the Price for Thinning Hair Treatment?
At Advanced Aesthetics, we aim to make our SkinPen PRP treatments accessible and transparent, especially when it comes to cost.
The cost associated with these treatments is a reflection of our commitment to cutting-edge technology, our specialists' expertise, and the personalized approach we take with each client.
Typically, a single SkinPen PRP session at Advanced Aesthetics is priced between $600 to $800. This range accounts for the thoroughness of our approach, encompassing the initial consultation, the treatment session, and any necessary follow-up care.
For optimal results, we often recommend a series of treatments. During your initial consultation, we can discuss package deals that provide better value than individual sessions.
What Are the Side Effects of Thinning Hair Treatment?
SkinPen + PRP is celebrated for its effectiveness in promoting hair growth and improving scalp health by utilizing your body's own healing mechanisms. The treatment is minimally invasive and designed with your comfort and safety in mind.
Here are the common side effects around the treatment site, all typically mild and temporary:
- Redness and tenderness
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Itchiness
- Sensitivity to touch
Who Are Candidates for Thinning Hair Treatment?
SkinPen + PRP is particularly effective for individuals experiencing early to moderate stages of hair thinning and loss. Ideal candidates for this treatment include men and women with:
- Recent hair loss: If you've begun to notice thinning or hair loss in the past few years, SkinPen can be especially effective in reversing these early signs and promoting regrowth.
- “Active” hair follicles: Those who still have active hair follicles, meaning the scalp shows areas of thinning rather than complete baldness, may see the most significant improvements.
- Pattern baldness: Both men and women suffering from pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia, can benefit greatly from SkinPen and other regenerative treatments.
SkinPen + PRP is also a great option if you prefer a non-surgical approach to hair restoration that uses completely natural treatment methods — in this case, your body’s own platelets — without the use of chemicals or foreign substances.
