Alopecia, commonly known as hair loss, affects millions of people worldwide, impacting both men and women. At Rivela Hair Restoration, we understand the emotional and psychological impact of alopecia and offer advanced treatments to help individuals regain their hair and confidence.
What is Alopecia?
Alopecia refers to hair loss from any part of the body for any reason including hair loss on the scalp or body. The most common form is androgenetic alopecia, also known as male/female pattern baldness. However, alopecia can also be caused by autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata, where the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles.
Prevalence of Alopecia
Alopecia affects a significant portion of the population. Approximately 50% of men and 40% of women experience some form of hair loss by the age of 50. In the United States, over 80 million people suffer from some type of alopecia.
Treatment Options for Alopecia
At Rivela Hair Restoration, we offer several effective treatments for alopecia, including NeoGraft hair transplantation and PRP/PRF therapy.
1. NeoGraft Hair Transplantation
The NeoGraft hair transplant is a minimally invasive procedure that uses Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technology to harvest and transplant individual hair follicles. This technique is particularly beneficial for those with localized hair loss or seeking a more permanent solution. NeoGraft is known for its natural-looking results and minimal recovery time. Learn more about our NeoGraft hair restoration in The Woodlands.
2. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
PRP and PRF therapies involve injecting platelet-rich plasma or fibrin into the scalp to stimulate hair growth. These treatments are non-invasive and can be used alone or in combination with other therapies to enhance results. PRP for alopecia has shown promising results in promoting hair regrowth and strengthening existing hair follicles.

Benefits of Treating Alopecia
Treating alopecia offers numerous benefits beyond just physical appearance:
- Boosts Confidence: Regaining hair can significantly improve self-esteem and overall confidence.
- Emotional Well-being: Addressing hair loss can reduce stress and anxiety related to appearance.
- Long-Term Results: Many treatments, like NeoGraft, provide long-lasting results, reducing the need for ongoing maintenance.
