What Makes a Hair Loss Treatment “Advanced”?
Advanced hair restoration treatments are not typically the first step. Instead, they are used when:
- Hair loss is progressing despite early intervention.
- A more targeted or aggressive approach is needed.
- Multiple causes of hair loss are involved.
- You want to optimize or accelerate results from other therapies.
- You’re looking for options not widely available in general med spa settings.
These therapies often work best in combination, addressing different aspects of hair loss at the same time.
Advanced Hair Restoration Treatment Options in Cleveland
Each treatment below represents a specialized approach to hair restoration. During your consultation, Dr. Wick will determine which options make sense based on your pattern of hair loss, medical history, and goals.
PRP/PRFM (Platelet-Based Regenerative Therapy)
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) use concentrated growth factors derived from your own blood to stimulate follicular activity. These therapies are often used as a foundation but can also be part of more advanced combination protocols to improve hair quality and density over time.
Injected Finasteride
Injected finasteride delivers medication directly to the scalp, targeting the hormonal component of hair loss at the follicle level. This approach may reduce systemic exposure while helping slow progression in patients with androgenic hair loss.
Scalp Botox®
Scalp Botox® is an emerging technique that involves precise injections to reduce tension in the scalp. By improving blood flow and reducing mechanical stress around hair follicles, it may help create a more supportive environment for growth. It is most often used as part of a broader treatment plan rather than as a standalone solution.
Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT)
Low-level red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity within hair follicles. While often used for maintenance, it can also play a role in advanced protocols by supporting ongoing follicle function between in-office treatments.
Dr. Wick’s Strategic, Combination Treatment Approach
Hair loss rarely has a single cause. That’s why advanced treatment plans often combine multiple therapies to address:
- Hormonal influences (such as DHT sensitivity)
- Reduced blood flow or scalp tension
- Inflammation or stress-related shedding
- Weakening or miniaturizing follicles
For example, a patient may use injected finasteride to slow hormonal loss, PRFM to stimulate growth, and LLLT to maintain follicle activity between treatments. This approach aims to support both short- and long-term improvement.
Understanding the Cause of Your Hair Loss
Before recommending any advanced treatment, Dr. Wick performs a thorough evaluation to determine the underlying drivers of your hair loss, informed by her experience treating a range of hair loss conditions. This step is critical, because the same treatment will not work the same way for every patient.
Common contributing factors include:
- Genetic hair loss (androgenic alopecia)
- Hormonal changes, including postpartum or menopause
- Chronic stress or inflammation
- Age-related thinning
- Nutritional or medical conditions
By identifying what’s actually causing the change in your hair, we can build a plan that targets the problem more directly.
Who Is a Candidate for Advanced Hair Restoration?
Candidates for these emerging treatment options include patients who:
- Have already started to notice progression beyond early thinning
- Want to go beyond basic or entry-level treatments
- Are looking for more customized, multi-layered solutions
- Want to maintain or enhance results from previous treatments
- Prefer a non-surgical but more comprehensive approach
These therapies are often recommended for patients seeking more advanced hair loss treatment options after initial therapies are no longer sufficient and those who want to support surgical outcomes.
How Advanced Treatments Fit Into a Long-Term Plan
Advanced hair restoration is not about a single procedure. It’s about building a plan that evolves as your hair changes.
Some patients begin with foundational treatments and transition into more advanced options over time. Others start with a combination approach from the beginning, depending on the severity and cause of their hair loss.
In some cases, advanced non-surgical therapies are paired with hair transplant surgery to both restore lost density and protect existing hair long term.

Common Questions
Are advanced hair restoration treatments safe?
The advanced therapies offered at Wick Facial Plastics are considered safe when performed by a qualified physician like Dr. Wick. During your consultation, Dr. Wick will review risks and benefits in detail and perform a thorough evaluation to determine which options are appropriate for you.
What are the newest treatments for hair loss available in Cleveland?
New hair restoration treatments include PRP/PRFM, Scalp Botox, LLLT, and injected finasteride. These treatments focus on improving follicle health, targeting hormonal factors, and combining therapies for better results. Dr. Wick often recommends one or more of these options when traditional treatments are no longer enough or when a more comprehensive approach is needed.
Do I need advanced hair loss treatments, or can I start with basic options?
The right approach for you will depend on the causes and severity of your hair loss. Dr. Wick considers many factors to determine the optimal treatment plan for each individual.
How long does it take to see results?
Hair restoration results are gradual. Patients often begin to see improvement within a few months, with continued progress over time depending on the treatment plan.
Can these treatments replace a hair transplant?
Advanced, non-surgical hair loss treatments can delay the need for surgery and improve hair quality. However, hair transplant surgery is the only viable option for treating areas where follicles are no longer active.
