A Physician-Guided Approach at Star Wellness MD
Hair thinning and hair loss affect both men and women—and for many, it can feel frustrating, confusing, and even overwhelming.
If you’ve been searching for hair restoration in San Antonio, you’ve likely come across PRP (platelet-rich plasma). While PRP is a powerful treatment, here’s what most people aren’t told:
PRP alone is often not enough to deliver optimal, long-lasting results.
At Star Wellness MD in Universal City, we take a different approach—one that focuses on treating the root cause of hair loss, not just the symptom.
⸻
What Causes Hair Loss? (It’s More Than Genetics)
Hair loss is rarely caused by a single issue. Most patients experience a combination of:
- Genetic hair loss (androgenetic alopecia)
- Hormonal changes (perimenopause, menopause, testosterone imbalance)
- Stress or illness (telogen effluvium)
- Nutritional deficiencies (iron, vitamin D, protein)
- Rapid weight loss (including GLP-1 medications)
This is why many people don’t see results with a single treatment.
⸻
What Is PRP Hair Restoration?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is derived from your own blood and contains growth factors that help:
- Stimulate dormant hair follicles
- Improve blood flow to the scalp
- Extend the hair growth phase
- Increase hair thickness
At Star Wellness MD, PRP is often combined with microneedling to enhance penetration and effectiveness.
⸻
Why PRP Alone Doesn’t Work for Many Patients
If you’ve tried PRP before without success, you’re not alone.
The issue is not PRP—it’s the lack of a complete system.
Hair restoration requires:
- Ongoing follicle stimulation
- A healthy scalp environment
- Internal nutritional support
- Hormonal balance
Without addressing all four, results may be limited or temporary.
