Embarking on a hair restoration journey—whether through PRP Hair Restoration or TED Hair Restoration—can be life-changing. But even the most promising treatment protocols can fall short if certain common errors are made along the way. At B Medical Spa Hair Restoration in San Diego, under the care of Dr. Nadine Haddad, we’ve seen clients from Bankers Hill, Chula Vista, Coronado, Del Mar, Encinitas, Eucalyptus Hills, Hillcrest, Lemon Grove, Mission Hills, Poway, Solana Beach, and University City, overcome hair thinning by avoiding these pitfalls. Read on to learn the top five mistakes people make—and how to achieve optimal hair regrowth results.
1. Skipping the Medical Assessment
Mistake
Assuming that all hair loss is the same and choosing a treatment without a proper evaluation.
Solution
Dr. Nadine Haddad conducts a comprehensive medical consultation to identify the root cause of your hair loss—whether hormonal, stress-related, hereditary, or autoimmune. Matching you with the correct methodology—PRP or TED—is crucial for effective outcomes.
2. Expecting Instant Results
Mistake
Getting discouraged when hair regrowth doesn’t happen overnight.
Solution
Hair cycles run in phases—anagen (growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting). Treatments like PRP and TED require patience. Most clients notice visible improvement after 2–3 months, and fuller results emerge 4–6 months into the protocol. Consistency matters.
3. Inconsistent Follow-Up Appointments
Mistake
Skipping sessions or delaying follow-ups, thinking one treatment is enough.
Solution
For sustained hair rejuvenation, sticking to a structured schedule is essential. At B Medical Spa, your treatment plan includes initial phases and maintenance—typically 3–4 sessions spaced a few weeks apart, then quarterly booster appointments or therapy adjustments.
4. Ignoring Scalp Health and Lifestyle
Mistake
Neglecting scalp hygiene, diet, or stress—even while undergoing treatment.
Solution
A healthy scalp is the foundation for regrowth. We recommend:
- Gentle, medical-grade shampoos
- Balanced diet rich in protein, vitamins, biotin, and iron
- Stress reduction strategies (sleep, mindfulness, movement)
These lifestyle factors significantly enhance the effectiveness of both PRP and TED therapies.
5. Using Home Remedies Instead of Medical Grade Solutions
Mistake
Relying on off-the-shelf oils, supplements, or unscientific anecdotal treatments that lack proven efficacy.
Solution
Regenerative treatments like PRP Hair Restoration and TED Hair Restoration at B Medical Spa Hair Restoration utilize clinically researched protocols rather than unverified home remedies. We monitor platelet concentration, treatment depth, energy settings, and ensure safety standards—all overseen by Dr. Haddad.
Why PRP and TED Make a Difference—and Only When Done Right?
PRP Hair Restoration
- Uses your body’s own platelets to stimulate growth
- Enhances collagen and vascularization around dormant follicles
- Best suited to early-stage thinning when follicles are still viable
TED Hair Restoration
- Uses needle-free acoustic energy to deliver topical growth factors
- Ideal for clients with low tolerance for injections or sensitive scalps
- Perfect for those seeking maintenance or gentle but effective stimulus
These treatments, when paired with proper assessment, scheduling, and lifestyle support, deliver consistent and visible results for clients across San Diego neighborhoods like Solana Beach, Encinitas, University City, and more.
How to Stay on Track and Maximize Your Progress?
Stick to your scheduled treatment appointments
Build them into your routine just like any other medical care.
Use medical-grade products recommended by your provider
Avoid heavy oils or irritants that can clog follicles.
Address internal health
Correct nutrient deficiencies and manage stress—important for hormonal or post-partum hair loss.
Avoid harsh styling or chemical treatments
Give your scalp time to heal and follicles time to respond.
Real-Life Example: A Client from Encinitas
A woman in Encinitas started with thinning along her part and receding hairline. After two TED sessions guided by Dr. Haddad and consistent scalp routine, she saw less shedding and improved density. She then transitioned to quarterly TED or PRP maintenance and continues to maintain progress six months later.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I combine TED and PRP?
Yes—many of our San Diego clients receive alternating TED and PRP sessions for complementary benefits.
Q: Will treatments work for complete bald areas?
PRP and TED usually work best on areas still showing miniaturized follicles. For full baldness, other interventions may be recommended.
