Exploring the Benefits of Nutrafol and PRP Hair Restoration for Healthy Hair Growth

by | Feb 7, 2023 | Hair & Scalp Health | 0 comments

Nutrafol is a dietary supplement designed to encourage healthy hair growth by targeting the root causes of hair loss. It contains natural ingredients like saw palmetto, ashwagandha, and marine collagen, which may aid in this process by decreasing inflammation and balancing hormones.

But how does Nutrafol work, and is it effective? Let’s take a closer look at the science behind this supplement and what research has to say about its efficiency.

How Nutrafol Works

Nutrafol contains a blend of natural ingredients designed to promote healthy hair growth. Some key components of Nutrafol include:

  • Saw palmetto: This herb is often prescribed to treat symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate, but it may also have benefits for hair loss. Studies have suggested that saw palmetto might inhibit the action of an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase which converts testosterone into a more potent form known as dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT plays a role in hair loss, so inhibiting its production may help prevent it and stimulate hair growth.
  • Ashwagandha: This Ayurvedic herb is commonly used to reduce stress and anxiety, but it may also have benefits for hair growth. Ashwagandha contains compounds called withanolides which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These properties may support healthy hair growth by decreasing inflammation and oxidative stress on the scalp.
  • Marine collagen: Collagen is an essential protein for healthy hair growth. Marine collagen, sourced from marine sources like fish or shellfish, may have beneficial effects on hair health. Research has suggested that marine collagen may improve hair strength and reduce breakage.

Nutrafol not only contains these ingredients, but it also provides other nutrients that may promote healthy hair growth, such as biotin, zinc, and vitamins A, C, and E.

Case Studies on Nutrafol

There have been several case studies conducted on Nutrafol that suggest it may be effective at stimulating healthy hair growth. One case study published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology examined 31 women with female pattern hair loss and found that after taking Nutrafol for six months, all showed significant improvements in hair density, thickness, and overall health.

A case study published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology examined the effectiveness of Nutrafol on 25 women with thinning hair. After taking it for three months, researchers observed significant improvements in hair density and thickness among those taking it.

Overall, these case studies suggest Nutrafol may be effective at encouraging healthy hair growth among women with hair loss. However, it’s important to remember that these studies were small and further research is necessary in order to confirm their efficacy.

Nutrafol and PRP Hair Restoration

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) hair restoration is a non-surgical treatment that utilizes one’s own blood to promote hair growth. During the procedure, a healthcare provider draws blood from your arm and processes it to isolate platelets–cells containing growth factors that can spur cell division and repair–which are then injected into the scalp to encourage new hair growth.

Some people may benefit from taking Nutrafol on its own, but combing it with PRP hair restoration may provide even greater advantages. For instance, Nutrafol helps nourish the scalp and hair follicles from within, while PRP stimulates new hair growth from outside in. By combining the two treatments, individuals may see more noticeable and long-lasting outcomes.

One study published in the Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery looked into the effectiveness of Nutrafol combined with PRP hair restoration on 31 women suffering from female pattern hair loss. After receiving three treatments of Nutrafol plus PRP over six months, all participants experienced significant improvements in hair density and thickness.

Though these results are encouraging, more research needs to be done in order to confirm the effectiveness of Nutrafol combined with PRP hair restoration. Furthermore, individual responses may vary between people so it’s wise to consult a healthcare provider prior to beginning any new supplement or treatment to make sure it is safe and suitable for you.

In conclusion, Nutrafol is a dietary supplement with natural ingredients designed to support hair growth. Although there is limited scientific evidence backing these claims, some case studies indicate it may be effective at stimulating hair growth among women with hair loss. Combining Nutrafol with PRP hair restoration may provide additional advantages, but more research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of this approach.

If you’re interested in trying Nutrafol or combining it with PRP hair restoration, schedule a free consultation to speak with one of our providers to determine if these treatments are safe and appropriate for you.

Patient Reviews

  • I don’t know where to begin. The staff and services at NuWays MD have been top notch. Delivery of product application, education and product knowledge, results, value and customer service are what I look for when it comes to receiving services. I cannot begin to tell you how satisfied I am in all of those areas at NuWays MD. Tamar, Daryl and Melissa are GENUINE. I had cool sculpting done and I’m happy with the results. Tamra put it all into perspective for me right from the start. My results align with exactly what she said I could expect. I can write many good things about this office. The bottom line is that I highly recommended them. I will be taking advantage of other services they have to offer and especially now, with the great holiday offers they have. This is a REAL review from someone whom is a regular working person who seeks value and quality.!

  • Melissa and Tamar are AMAZING. I literally just left after getting a non surgical nose job and I absolutely loved my experience. I wish that I could give more than five stars. Melissa is the absolute best and made sure that my nose was perfect before I left. They were so nice and made my experience amazing. Tamar stood by my side and held my hand throughout the whole procedure and made me feel so calm and relaxed. I can’t wait to go back I love this place so much!!!!!!

  • Long overdue update: It's almost been two years and our coolsculpting results have been amazing and the fat has stayed off with our regular habits. The staff is top notch, and we've since come back for laser hair removal and botox. Would highly recommend!

    I had a wonderful experience at Nuways. My wife and I both recieved coolsculpting during one of their specials last month, and we were very comfortable throughout the entire session. They gave us blankets, put on Netflix and we even received some over the ear headphones to block out the sounds of the coolsculpting machines to relax. The staff was pleasing and genuinely cared about our satisfaction and results. I'm excited about seeing our results and will follow up in another review!

  • I was concerned about the lines around my mouth and my neck isn't as tight as it used to be (aka minor turkey neck) and I am doing everything to avoid it. So I had the morpheus8 procedure done and Tamar was absolutely wonderful and did a great job. Explained the procedure thoroughly before starting, and everyone made sure my healing went well and that I was happy with my results.
