Amino Z: is it an alternative to hair transplant?

While not proven to be effective, Amino Z, Exosomes and hormone replacement therapy are up and coming treatments for hair loss. Here is what you should know about them.

The Amnio-Z shot is a protein-based injection generated from human amniotic components and is a major source of physiologically active growth accelerators. These are factors of wound healing and tissue regrowth. Some of the advantages include hair follicle regeneration, promoting tissue remodeling, boosting cell production and growth, and anti-inflammatory properties. With the Amino Z procedure, there is no need for anesthesia and no blood is obtained.

At this time, there is very little evidence that Amino Z works. Therefore we do not offer Amino Z in our clinic and encourage you to do more research before trying it.

Exosomes

Exosomes are one of the most recent hair loss treatments available. Exosomes are delivered into your scalp by injection. Unlike PRP, exosome injections do not necessitate taking blood from patients or delivering an anesthetic to the treatment region. Exosome injections are similar to Amino Z as they use a concentrated supply of physiologically active growth accelerators. Exosome treatment, a type of stem cell therapy that has been shown to regenerate human tissue and can be used to cure pattern baldness, is a highly potent form of stem cell therapy. These stem cells include a variety of growth factors that boost the body’s natural regeneration ability, therefore providing thicker, and fuller hair.

Similar to Amino Z, there is very little evidence that exosomes work. However, exosome use is becoming more common. Currently, we do not offer it in our clinic because it does not pass our threshold for proof of effectiveness.

Hormone Replacement Therapy HRT

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment that acts on recent advances in endocrinology to combat hair loss and restore your natural hairline. Falling hormones in both men and women during the transitional years of menopause and andropause can contribute to the shorter development phase of hair follicles, leading them to wane until fewer hairs are visible on the scalp. On the contrary, HRT may also accelerate hair loss, if testosterone and DHT levels in your body increase.

If hormone replacement is the best treatment option for you, your doctor will devise a treatment plan based on your age, gender, the severity of your hair loss, and other considerations. We do not offer HRT in our clinic, but can offer our guidance to your HRT regarding the possible impact of HRT on your hair after your transplant procedure.

I have been experiencing hair thinning since getting tape in extensions, no longer have those! I met with Dr. Vinay Rawlani to discuss my options and he created a whole plan for me! During the process, he has made me feel comfortable and heard. Sometimes talking about hair loss is an awkward topic making me feel insecure. I’ve been taking Nutrafol, and Minoxidil in combo with doing PRP every 4ish weeks! I can confidently and proudly say my hair is already thicker and healthier! Hair growth is an awkward and long, slow-seeming process BUT Vinay takes away the stress and worry! Also, need to mention his touch is very light so I could barely feel the numbing pre-PRP injections, almost painless! Cannot wait to share my results! Thank you, Dr. Vinay!

If you’re feeling like you cannot do it, you’re wrong. You just need Dr. Vinay and his team beside you.

Almost 18 months out from my procedure and to say the least I’m very happy with the results. The entire team at Northwestern Hair including vinay kendall and carmen are the best. Everything was smooth. no hiccups. My entire procedure was hidden in 3 days. Highly recommend. I saw 3 consultants – this is the best team around.

VIVEK R.
Men’s Hair Restoration Patient

It’s been 1.5 years since my husband did a hair transplant. I couldn’t be happier with the amazing results. His hair texture is stronger and of the same length as the rest of the hair and continues to improve. Dr. Vinay and his staff did a great job making the entire restoration process seamless. Their customer service is excellent and really makes you feel like they care. I would definitely recommend this place for all your hair restoration needs.

SONAL R.

Exceptional results! I received my hair transplant about 6 months ago and the results are just amazing. Dr.Vinay and the staff were very knowledgeable and professional. I did extensive research and consults before getting the procedure done, Northwestern Hair is by far the best in every aspect!

JAIME R.

I started losing my hair and self-identity in my twenties. I spent 10 years looking for help before finding Northwestern Hair. Dr. Vinay is the kindest, most talented doctor you’ll ever meet. His positivity and amazing results have restored my confidence and forever transformed my outlook on life.

RAKI P.

When we look better, we feel better. We have a better attitude. We’re able to kind of look at life a little bit differently. I think this treatment plan is a great tool for people of all shapes and sizes.

Dr. Vinay transformed my thin, balding hair into a thick head of dream hair. It was my biggest insecurity, and now I am beyond confident with my new look. I will forever thank the team at Northwestern Hair!

JIM C.

I reached my goal weight in only 3 months. I feel healthier and more confident than ever. I cannot recommend Northwestern Weight Loss and Dr. Vinay enough for making me believe I could do it.

ALEX G.
Weight Loss Program Patient

I did the microfue procedure and am really happy with how it went. The procedure itself was surprisingly painless and relaxed and recovery wasn’t as bad as I expected. I had a not so great experience with another place and wish I discovered NW sooner.

BRIAN J.
Weight Loss Program Patient

I am a stylist and have worked with Dr. Vinay Rawlani. After seeing clients before and after the procedures, it’s truly an amazing transformation that I would recommend to all my clients. I am always impressed by his attention to detail and dedication to care with follow ups after. I would recommend his services and look forward to seeing the amazing transformations to come!
