Hair loss or thinning hair is very common — in both sexes. About 80% of men and 50% of women experience significant hair loss during their lives, especially as they age.
Given these numbers, it should come as no surprise that there are thousands of products and services that claim they can restore that glorious mane of yours. Unfortunately, many of these products are long on promises and short on results.
At Lafferty Family Care, Dr. Scott Lafferty and our team take a more scientific approach to hair loss by enlisting more resources in the form of peptide therapy.
Here’s a look at how peptide therapy can help combat your thinning hair.
Your body relies a good deal on proteins, and peptides are the building blocks of protein. Peptides are short strings of amino acids, typically 5-20 amino acids, which are much smaller than those found in proteins.
As a result, peptides are more easily absorbed by your body than larger proteins, and this benefit is what makes peptide therapy so effective.
One of the most plentiful proteins in your body is collagen, which is responsible for the support and structure of most of your body’s tissues.
With our peptide therapy, we deliver collagen peptides, which are broken down collagen proteins. This collagen boost not only supports healthy skin, it can help with the health of your scalp.
We use collagen peptides to address thinning hair, and the amino acids that comprise the peptides work to:
Peptides can stimulate your hair follicles so they receive more resources, such as nutrients and oxygen, which promotes overall healthier hair and better growth.
To ensure that your scalp and hair follicles have the resources to grow more healthy hair, we provide you with collagen and copper peptide supplements. We offer peptide injections, peptide nasal sprays, or oral peptide supplements. Each of these options delivers a therapeutic amount of peptides that are easily absorbed by your body where they can go to work to combat thinning hair.
When it comes to results, remember that it takes time for hair to grow, so you should count on a few months of peptide therapy before you see new hair growth. But, your patience will be rewarded as new healthy hair comes in.
