REVERSE HAIR LOSS FOR GOOD

WHY MOST MEN STAY STUCK

Shampoos, pills and "random PRP" never matched your biology.

Hair loss isn't just what you see in the mirror — it's what's happening in your biology. Most of the things you've tried have never once looked at your hormones, blood markers or scalp health together, so they were never truly built for you. When the plan ignores what's going on under the scalp, results feel temporary, random or non-existent.

Things you've probably already tried

  • Thickening shampoos & scalp serums. Feel better after a wash, but your baseline keeps slipping.
  • Subscription kits & "hair vitamin" packs. Auto-shipped bottles with generic advice, no labs, no real tracking and no one adjusting the plan.
  • Topical foam or minoxidil from the drugstore. Can help some men, but it's often used without medical follow-up or a long-term plan.
  • Random one-off PRP at a spa or med spa. A single session with basic equipment, no proper assessment and no roadmap to know if it's strong enough or being done often enough to matter.

Why those approaches fall short

  • They treat what you can see on the scalp, not the biology underneath — hormones, blood markers, inflammation and blood flow that are actually driving the thinning.
  • There's no real baseline or structured follow-up — no labs, no scalp mapping, no checkpoints — so you're guessing instead of measuring whether anything is changing.
  • Almost everything is one-size-fits-all, even though men lose hair for very different combinations of reasons.
  • You're often doing it alone, stacking one more product or session on top of the last, hoping this one will finally be "the thing," without a physician guiding and adjusting the plan around your actual biology.

Bottom line: it's not that you haven't tried hard enough — it's that nobody has actually treated your biology yet.

STEP 3 · UNDERSTAND YOUR PATTERN

Understand Your Pattern

Whether it started at the corners, the crown or feels like it's thinning everywhere, the pattern tells us which biology is driving it — and how firm your regrowth plan needs to be.

Pattern 01
Receding hairline pattern

Receding hairline

Corners creeping back, temples hollowing, maybe a higher forehead in photos. Often early male-pattern loss driven by androgens.

Why it matters

We map how quickly it's moving so we know how firm your plan needs to be.

Pattern 02
Thinning at the crown pattern

Thinning at the crown

A see-through spot that shows up under down-lighting or on camera. Common in long-standing genetic loss.

Why it matters

We check how deep the loss is and which areas respond best to targeted PRP and medication.

Pattern 03
Diffuse thinning pattern

Diffuse thinning

Hair looks flatter and weaker all over — often tied to hormones, stress, inflammation or metabolic issues.

Why it matters

We look beyond the scalp to blood markers and inflammation, not just "stronger shampoo."

Pattern 04
Advanced balding pattern

Advanced balding

Larger areas of bare scalp or only a rim of hair remaining. Still worth assessing — with honest expectations.

Why it matters

We focus on the areas that can still thicken, not promises no one can keep.

Whatever pattern you're in, one-size-fits-all plans don't work. Your regrowth strategy has to be built around your biology, your markers and how you actually lose hair — not just the bottle or kit that happens to be on the shelf.

THE ALPHA REFINERY METHOD

Four steps from biology to results

A structured, physician-guided approach that maps your hormones, targets the root cause, and protects your results.

1

Map your biology & baselines

We start with a comprehensive visit: your history, stress, sleep and lifestyle, plus blood work and scalp assessment to understand why you're losing hair — not just where.

2

Build a structured PRP-centered plan

Using your labs and goals, we design a planned series of medical-grade PRP sessions — not a one-off "add-on." We use a high-yield, medical PRP system (not discount spa kits) to deliver concentrated platelets where you need them most.

3

Layer in targeted support, not guesswork

When it fits your profile, we add evidence-based medications, topicals or lifestyle changes that match your markers and tolerance. No generic "kit" — only what actually supports your pattern of loss.

4

Track, refine & protect your results

Follow-up visits compare photos, density and, when needed, repeat labs. We refine the plan based on real data so your gains are protected and you're not guessing whether it's working.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What you need to know

Common questions about our hair restoration approach, answered honestly.

Most men notice initial improvements around 3 months, with optimal results visible at 6 months. Because we're working with your biology—not just treating symptoms—the changes build progressively as your follicles respond to the treatment protocol.

Your treatment plan is built around your biology, not a generic schedule. Most men start with an initial series of 3-4 PRP sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6-12 months. We adjust based on your labs, progress photos, and how your scalp is responding.

PRP is most effective when we catch hair loss early—while follicles are thinning but still active. That's why we start with comprehensive bloodwork and scalp mapping during your assessment. We're looking at what's driving your hair loss biologically, so we can tell you honestly whether PRP is the right approach for your specific pattern and timeline.

Most people are surprised by how tolerable it is. We use Pro-Nox (a patient-controlled laughing gas) to keep you comfortable during the treatment. You breathe it in as needed, it works within seconds, and it wears off just as fast—so you can safely drive yourself home. You may feel a brief burning or pressure sensation from your own growth factors as the PRP is injected, but this usually fades within a few minutes. We go slowly, check in with you throughout, and adjust Pro-Nox as needed to make the experience as easy and stress-free as possible.

Downtime is very minimal. The main restriction is that you cannot wash your hair for 24 hours after treatment—after that, you're good to go. You may notice mild redness or tenderness on the scalp for a few hours, but most people return to work, the gym, and normal activities the same day. We'll walk you through the simple post-care steps during your visit.

Hair restoration is considered cosmetic, so it's not covered by insurance. We provide transparent pricing during your $199 assessment, and if you're a fit, we'll outline the full investment before you commit to treatment.

The earlier you start, the better—but that doesn't mean you've missed your window. During your assessment, we'll map your scalp, review your bloodwork, and give you an honest evaluation of what's possible based on your current density and follicle health.

We don't do one-off sessions with basic equipment. Our approach starts with your biology—comprehensive labs, hormone analysis, and scalp mapping—before we recommend anything. We use a high-yield, medical-grade PRP system under physician oversight, and we build a structured plan that's monitored and adjusted based on your actual progress.

Yes. In fact, that's often where we see the best results. When it fits your biology and goals, we can layer in peptides, targeted medications, medical-grade topicals, and lifestyle strategies that support hair regrowth from the inside out. Everything is customized to your labs, history, and tolerance—not handed out generically—so your PRP, peptides, and other therapies all work together as one integrated plan.

Before: Wash your hair, eat a solid meal, stay hydrated, and avoid anti-inflammatory medications for 7 days prior.

After: Avoid washing your hair for 24 hours, skip harsh chemical treatments for 72 hours, and avoid intense exercise the day of treatment. We'll give you the full list when you book.
