Understanding Hair Loss & Treatment Approaches
Hair loss (alopecia) has many potential causes, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, and medical triggers. Because no single treatment suits every scenario, our practice manager, medical assistant, and master aesthetician carefully evaluate your scalp, hair density, medical history, and expectations before recommending a personalized course of care. In many cases, combining modalities yields better, more sustained outcomes.

GetHairMD®
Cosmetic Surgery Center is the only practice in the Hampton Roads area offering GetHairMD™.
GetHairMD™’s Clinical Hair Growth Laser treatments harness the power of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to stimulate hair follicles, promoting regrowth and reversing the thinning process. This non-invasive technology utilizes specific wavelengths of light to penetrate the scalp and energize the hair follicles.
This comprehensive, multimodal hair restoration protocol combines diagnostics, advanced technology, and ongoing support to help patients achieve healthier, fuller hair. What sets it apart is its layered approach, addressing hair loss from several angles at once:
- AI-Driven Scalp Analysis: Each program begins with a detailed evaluation, including imaging and artificial intelligence mapping of the scalp. This enables us to pinpoint areas of thinning, measure follicle density, and track progress over time.
- DNA Testing: Genetic analysis identifies your unique genetic markers and variations that influence hair growth and response to various treatments. Based on this detailed genetic profile, a customized topical prescription is formulated, ensuring the treatment is uniquely optimized for your specific needs and genetic makeup.
- Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): Red and near-infrared light are used to stimulate the scalp, improve blood flow, and encourage follicle activity. This painless therapy is performed regularly to strengthen existing hair and support regrowth.
- Topical & Prescription Medications: When appropriate, GetHairMD incorporates physician-directed options such as topical minoxidil or oral finasteride to slow hair loss and boost follicle performance.
- Nutritional Supplements: Because hair growth depends on overall health, we may recommend physician-formulated supplements to provide the vitamins and minerals often linked to scalp and follicle vitality.
- At-Home Care Devices: Certain patients are provided with access to at-home laser caps or topical delivery systems that extend the benefits of treatment between in-office visits.
- GetHairMD NeoSystem™: This 3-step program includes a serum containing essential vitamins and minerals that support collagen and keratin production, a gentle conditioning shampoo that blends organic silicon with proprietary botanicals to leave hair visibly fuller and shinier, and a scalp treatment with nutrient-rich botanicals.
- Ongoing Monitoring: We continually measure each stage of your journey and make adjustments as needed. By comparing imaging and hair density data over time, the program ensures that your treatment evolves in tandem with your progress.
This multimodal approach makes GetHairMD an ideal choice for men and women seeking a nonsurgical, highly personalized solution. It is particularly effective for those in the earlier stages of thinning, when follicles are still viable and responsive to stimulation.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for Hair Growth
Growth factors in your blood can stimulate hair follicle growth. We create the platelet-rich plasma by drawing a blood sample and spinning it in a centrifuge. Blood plasma, white and red blood cells, and other growth properties bond as the sample spins, creating the PRP formula. The PRP solution is purified, and the platelets are preserved, creating a PRP that is then injected into the scalp in targeted areas.
The PRP supports a steady release of growth factors over a 7 to 10-day period. PRP stimulates keratin production and the rate of follicle growth. For PRP hair restoration, patients can see results in 2 to 3 months. More pronounced results are usually seen 6 months after treatment. Typically, a series of treatments is required for optimal results.
Choosing the Right Path & Combining Approaches
Not every case of hair loss requires a single treatment. Combining therapies often delivers more robust outcomes. For someone with diffuse thinning, for example, beginning with GetHairMD’s diagnostic and laser components can prepare the scalp for PRP enhancement later. Or, if you’ve already attempted one method without full success, layering treatments may nudge stalled follicles back into activity. Our team crafts a personalized plan that balances your timeline, budget, and expectations.
What To Expect
Your first appointment includes a detailed evaluation that includes getting your medical history, scalp imaging, and a discussion of your goals. For GetHairMD, you’ll begin with the AI analysis and initial low-level laser sessions. PRP treatments are typically spaced every 4 to 8 weeks, over 3 to 4 rounds. Many patients begin noticing subtle improvements in hair texture and density after about 2 to 3 months, with more visible progress by 6 months. Maintenance sessions may be recommended depending on your response and lifestyle factors.
