Hair Loss Treatment in San Francisco & the Bay Area | Biohackr Health

Our Approach to Hair Regeneration

At Biohackr Health, our approach to hair restoration blends medical precision with regenerative science. Every treatment plan begins with an in-depth analysis of your underlying causes—hormonal shifts, nutrient deficiencies, thyroid dysfunction, or inflammation—before selecting therapies that address both the scalp and systemic imbalances.
Our San Francisco and Palo Alto clinics specialize in advanced microneedling, exosome therapy, and PRF injections, often layered for synergistic effect. Unlike most practices that stop at PRP or PRF, Biohackr integrates Age Zero Exosomes—next-generation biologics that activate the body’s innate repair mechanisms at the cellular level.

At-Home and Prescription Therapies

While our in-office regenerative treatments accelerate follicle repair, true hair restoration also depends on daily support for scalp health, circulation, and nutrient delivery. At Biohackr Health, we often combine in-office sessions with targeted oral and topical therapies to extend and maintain results.

Supporting Scalp Health at Home

Small changes in daily habits can sustain long-term results:

• Use sulfate-free, pH-balanced shampoos to minimize irritation.
• Avoid tight hairstyles or excessive heat styling that stress follicles.
• Schedule trims every 6–8 weeks to reduce breakage.
• Maintain adequate hydration and balanced nutrition.

What to Expect: Your Hair Restoration Journey

Your experience at Biohackr Health is designed to be collaborative, transparent, and results-driven. From your first consultation through long-term maintenance, every step is physician-supervised and tailored to your individual goals.

Step 1: Complimentary Consultation (45 Minutes)

Your journey begins at our San Francisco or Palo Alto location—or virtually via telehealth for out-of-area patients.
During this appointment, we will:

• Review your medical history, medications, and lifestyle factors.
• Assess your hair-loss pattern using standardized scales (Norwood for men, Ludwig for women).
• Examine scalp and follicle health under magnification.
• Discuss treatment options, expected outcomes, and pricing.
• Order your Comprehensive Blood Analysis for Hair Loss, if not already completed.

This consultation is complimentary for all hair-restoration services—there’s never an obligation to proceed.

Step 2: Treatment Sessions

Each session lasts about 45 minutes and includes:

1. Scalp preparation – cleansing and marking treatment areas.
2. Topical numbing – applied 10–15 minutes prior to minimize discomfort.
3. Procedure – PRF injections or microneedling with exosomes and/or Minoxidil.
4. Post-care serum application – exosomes or Minoxidil to optimize absorption.
5. Aftercare review – your provider will outline what to expect over the next 48 hours.

Comfort Level:
Most patients rate discomfort between 3–5 / 10 even for microneedling, which is the more sensitive procedure. Numbing cream and optional cooling therapy minimize pain. Expect mild tenderness or temporary scalp redness for 24–48 hours.

Schedule:

• Initial series: 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
• Maintenance: 1 booster session per year, or as recommended.

Step 3: Post-Treatment Care

For best results:

• Avoid washing your hair for 24–48 hours.
• Skip strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure for 24 hours.
• Stay hydrated (8–10 glasses of water daily).
• Follow your at-home protocol (supplements, Minoxidil, custom topical).
• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and minimize scalp irritation products.

Possible, temporary side effects:

• Mild swelling or redness (24–48 hours).
• Sensitivity at injection or microneedling sites.
• Rare bruising or infection (< 1 %).

Step 4: Results Timeline

Step 5: Maintenance & Longevity

Hair restoration is an ongoing partnership.
To preserve results:

• Schedule annual maintenance (PRF or microneedling + exosomes).
• Continue Biohackr Health Hair GROW + supplement and Minoxidil.
• Re-evaluate hormones and nutritional markers yearly.
• Maintain a balanced diet, manage stress, and prioritize sleep.

Without maintenance, hair density may gradually decline within 12–24 months as natural aging resumes.

Integrating Hair Restoration with Other Biohacking Therapies

At Biohackr Health, hair restoration is more than a cosmetic procedure—it’s a window into your overall health and cellular performance. True regeneration happens when your internal systems support what we do externally. That’s why our team often integrates your hair program with other biohacking therapies that target inflammation, hormones, and mitochondrial function at their root.

Home & Lifestyle Support: The Often Overlooked Factor

What you do between treatments matters:

• Use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos
• Finish rinsing with cool water to close follicles
• Minimize chemical treatments or heat styling
• Loosen ponytails or extensions to avoid traction
• Sleep with a silk pillowcase or scarf
• Review supplements or hair products with your clinician

Our team can even coordinate with your hairstylist to create a scalp-friendly routine that supports regrowth.

Physician-Led Expertise You Can Trust

Every treatment is guided by Board-Certified physicians specializing in regenerative medicine, hormone health, and longevity.

• Dr. Lauren Greenberg, a Stanford-trained Plastic Surgeon and regenerative medicine specialist, brings over 25 years of aesthetic and cellular-level expertise.
• Dr. Lori Bluvas, a Board-Certified OB/GYN with decades of experience in hormone optimization and functional medicine, ensures internal and external health are aligned.

Together, they guide every Biohackr protocol—so your plan is grounded in science, not trends.

Science-Backed, Evidence-Driven Care

Each component of our hair restoration system is supported by peer-reviewed studies:

• Microneedling increases vascularization and follicular activity, improving density and caliber of hair strands.
• PRF injections have demonstrated up to an 80% response rate in androgenetic alopecia, significantly improving hair density and scalp symptoms.
• Exosomes enhance follicular signaling, reduce inflammation, and accelerate regrowth through more than 200 growth factors and proteins.
• Minoxidil remains the FDA-approved gold standard for hair stimulation.
• Hormone and nutrient optimization—including thyroid, DHT, and micronutrient analysis—targets the internal triggers that often underlie hair loss.

At Biohackr, we don’t just follow the literature—we publish, interpret, and evolve our protocols alongside it.

Premium-Grade Materials and Technology

Our clinic uses the most rigorously vetted tools and biologics available:

• Age Zero Exosomes by Resilielle – derived from Wharton’s Jelly mesenchymal stem cells (“age zero” origin). Never lyophilized, frozen in medical-grade saline for maximal purity and potency.
• Medical-Grade Microneedling Devices – sterile, single-use tips with depth control to reach the follicular base precisely, maximizing results while maintaining safety.
• Advanced PRF Systems – single-spin centrifuges that preserve a fibrin matrix for sustained growth-factor release.
• NSF-Certified Supplements and NAD⁺ Therapies – ensuring third-party verified purity and efficacy in everything we administer or recommend.

A Holistic, Root-Cause Approach

True restoration demands a full-body lens. We assess hormonal balance, nutrition, inflammation, and stress before treatment begins, ensuring that your scalp is not only treated—but primed to respond. This integrated model distinguishes Biohackr Health from conventional aesthetic centers and dermatology clinics.

The Patient Experience: Where Empathy Meets Precision

Hair loss is personal, and our approach reflects that. Every consultation begins with compassion—listening to your concerns, history, and goals before discussing any treatment.

• Comfort First: We use prescription-grade topical numbing and gentle techniques to minimize discomfort during microneedling or PRF sessions.
• Emotional Support: Our providers understand how emotionally charged hair loss can be. You’ll never feel rushed, dismissed, or “sold to”—just guided.
• Collaborative Care: When appropriate, we coordinate with your hairstylist or primary care provider to ensure your at-home routines support your in-office progress.
• Realistic Timelines: Results take time—typically 3–6 months for visible growth, 9–12 months for full results—but we’ll help you track improvements along the way with follow-ups and photos.

“You’re not just getting a treatment—you’re joining a program built on empathy, precision, and accountability.” — Dr. Lauren Greenberg

Results You Can See and Feel

Patients typically report:

• 20–30% increase in hair count in treated areas
• Up to 20% increase in hair thickness
• Visible new growth within 3–6 months
• Improved scalp health and reduced shedding within 4–6 weeks
• Better texture, shine, and color over time

Every protocol is customized—no templates, no “one-size-fits-all” packages.

Experience the Biohackr Difference

Our San Francisco (Marina District) and Palo Alto clinics combine medical precision with a boutique experience. Every member of our compassionate medical team—whether a Medical Assistant, Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN), or Registered Nurse (RN)—plays an active role in your care. All consultations and treatments are performed by our experienced RNs under physician supervision, ensuring a seamless, professional, and supportive experience that helps you feel confident again.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Hair Restoration?

Hair loss affects people of every gender, age, and background—but not all types of hair loss respond to the same therapies. At Biohackr Health, our evaluation process identifies what’s driving your shedding, thinning, or pattern loss so your plan targets the why, not just the what.

You May Be a Candidate If You Have:

• Thinning or shedding hair at the crown, temples, or hairline
• Diffuse thinning (overall volume loss) often triggered by stress, hormones, or nutritional imbalances
• Early to moderate androgenetic alopecia—before follicles have completely miniaturized
• Hormone-related hair changes during menopause, postpartum, or thyroid dysfunction
• Stress- or illness-related shedding (telogen effluvium)

• Hair loss following rapid weight loss, medications, or nutrient deficiencies

If you still have active follicles—even if they’re producing fine, vellus hairs—restoration therapies can help reactivate growth and improve caliber.

When to Start Treatment

Early intervention is key. Studies show that once follicles remain dormant for extended periods, they lose their regenerative potential. Most patients see the best outcomes when treatment begins within the first 6–24 months of noticeable thinning.

Who May Not Be an Ideal Candidate

While our therapies are safe and minimally invasive, some situations may limit results:

• Advanced baldness or scarring alopecia (where follicles are destroyed)
• Uncontrolled thyroid disease or autoimmune conditions that accelerate shedding
• Significant anemia, malnutrition, or hormonal instability that needs correction first
• Active scalp infections or open wounds

For these cases, our physicians may first recommend medical stabilization or targeted supplementation before proceeding with microneedling, PRF, or exosomes.

Personalized Approach for Every Patient

No two hair journeys are the same. During your consultation, our team evaluates:

• Blood biomarkers (thyroid, DHT, ferritin, vitamin D, etc.)
• Lifestyle, stress, and nutrition patterns

• Hormonal balance (for both men and women)

This data-driven approach ensures that your plan—whether it involves microneedling with exosomes, PRF, medications, or a combination—reflects your unique physiology and goals.

How much hair loss is normal?

It’s common to lose 50–150 hairs per day. However, if you notice excessive shedding in the shower, widening parts, or thinner ponytails, it may be time to have your scalp and hormones evaluated.

What causes hair loss?

Hair loss can result from a combination of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, nutrient deficiencies, thyroid issues, medications, or even certain hair care practices. Understanding the root cause is essential to finding the right treatment.

What types of hair loss do you treat?

Biohackr Health treats a wide range of hair loss conditions, including androgenetic alopecia (hereditary thinning), telogen effluvium (stress-related shedding), postpartum and menopausal hair loss, traction alopecia, and thinning related to nutrient or hormonal imbalance.

Are the treatments different for men and women?

Yes, they can be. Men often experience receding hairlines or crown thinning, while women tend to have diffuse thinning. We tailor each plan to your individual hormone profile, scalp health, and goals.

Does microneedling hurt?

Microneedling can be slightly uncomfortable, but we use strong topical numbing to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe it as a brief stinging or pressure sensation that fades within a day.

Can exosomes be injected?

No. In the United States, exosomes are applied topically after microneedling or PRF to enhance follicle activity and scalp healing.

How long does it take to see results?

Most patients notice less shedding and healthier hair texture after a few weeks. Visible thickening and regrowth typically appear between three and six months, with continued improvement over time.

How many sessions will I need?

Most people start with a series of three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart, then transition to maintenance sessions once or twice per year.

Can PRF and microneedling be combined?

Yes. PRF injections can be followed by microneedling and exosome application to enhance follicular response and improve overall results.

What if my hair loss is caused by hormones or thyroid issues?

Our comprehensive blood analysis identifies thyroid, DHT, or nutrient imbalances that contribute to shedding. When appropriate, we can incorporate hormone or nutrient therapy into your hair restoration plan.

How long do results last?

With regular maintenance and good scalp health, results can last for years. Many patients choose annual touch-ups to sustain density and strength. The factors that caused hair loss are multiple and continuing, so your treatment needs to be too.

What makes Biohackr Health different?

Most clinics stop at PRP or PRF. Biohackr Health takes a whole-body approach, combining microneedling, exosomes, hormone optimization, and nutritional support to address both the biological and lifestyle factors behind hair loss.
