The primary non-surgical alternatives to hair transplant in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, typically revolve around treatments aimed at stimulating hair growth, increasing hair density, and reducing hair loss.
The most common and sought-after non-surgical options include:
1. **Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy:**
* **Procedure:** A small sample of the patient's blood is drawn, processed to concentrate the platelets (which are rich in growth factors), and then this Platelet-Rich Plasma is injected into the thinning areas of the scalp.
* **Purpose:** The growth factors stimulate the hair follicles, promote natural hair growth, and can increase hair density and strength. It's often recommended for early to moderate hair thinning.
* **Cost Range (Estimate):** Prices for a single PRP session in Riyadh often range from approximately **SAR 599 to SAR 8,999**, with package deals for multiple sessions being common.
2. **Mesotherapy:**
* **Procedure:** A cocktail of essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and plant extracts is injected directly into the scalp's middle layer (mesoderm) using very fine needles.
* **Purpose:** It aims to nourish the hair follicles, improve blood circulation in the scalp, correct hormonal imbalances locally, and stimulate hair growth.
* **Cost Range (Estimate):** A single Mesotherapy session in Riyadh generally costs between **SAR 1,000 to SAR 4,000**.
3. **ACell + PRP Therapy:**
* **Procedure:** This is an advanced version of PRP where the Platelet-Rich Plasma is combined with ACell (a material containing an extracellular matrix) before being injected into the scalp.
* **Purpose:** The addition of ACell is intended to create a scaffolding for the PRP's growth factors, leading to potentially faster and denser hair regrowth.
4. **Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT):**
* **Procedure:** This involves using devices that emit a low-power laser light directly onto the scalp.
* **Purpose:** It is a non-invasive treatment believed to stimulate cell activity in the hair follicles and encourage hair growth. This can sometimes be done at home with cap-like devices or in a clinic setting.
5. **Medications and Topical Treatments:**
* **Minoxidil (Topical):** A well-known over-the-counter topical medication used to stimulate hair growth and slow down hair loss.
* **Finasteride (Oral):** A prescription oral medication (for men) used to treat male pattern baldness by blocking the hormone responsible for hair follicle shrinkage.
It is highly recommended to **consult with a board-certified dermatologist or a hair restoration specialist in Riyadh** to determine the cause of your hair loss and create a personalized treatment plan, as the suitability and effectiveness of any non-surgical option depend on your specific condition.
