When it comes to restoring healthy, full hair, many people focus only on topical products or treatments for the hair strands themselves. Yet the true foundation of strong hair growth begins beneath the surface with the scalp. At Thrive Wellness and Aesthetics in Mount Kisco, NY, Dana Protomastro, AGPCNP-BC, emphasizes the importance of treating the scalp as the starting point for any effective hair restoration journey. By creating an environment where follicles can function at their best, patients are better able to achieve thicker, healthier hair over time.
Why Scalp Health Matters
Think of the scalp as the soil where hair grows. Just as plants need nutrient-rich soil, hair follicles need a healthy scalp to thrive. Poor circulation, clogged follicles, excess buildup, and inflammation can all hinder growth. Factors like stress, aging, hormonal changes, and certain health conditions can make matters worse, leading to thinning hair and slower regrowth.
Maintaining scalp health allows hair follicles to absorb the nutrients and oxygen they need. When the scalp environment is cared for, the chances of successful hair restoration greatly improve.
Treatments That Support Hair Growth
At Thrive Wellness and Aesthetics, Dana Protomastro offers advanced solutions that directly target scalp health and overall hair growth. Every treatment plan is designed around the patient’s personal needs, ensuring that therapies feel natural, supportive, and effective.
Options include:
- HydraFacial Keravive Scalp Treatment, which cleanses and hydrates the scalp while nourishing hair follicles with growth factors and peptides.
- PRP therapy, which uses the body’s own platelets to stimulate follicle activity and encourage natural hair regrowth.
- Microneedling with PRP, a combination technique that enhances scalp absorption while boosting cellular renewal.
- Nutrafol supplements, which deliver targeted nutrients to address thinning from within.
- Revian Light Therapy Cap, a convenient at-home device using red light therapy to stimulate hair follicles and promote growth.**
**Patients can use the code “thrivehair” to save $550 on online purchases, making this an accessible and effective addition to their hair restoration regimen.
Each of these approaches has its benefits. Some patients may benefit most from non-invasive scalp treatments, while others may see stronger improvement when PRP or microneedling is included in their care plan.
What to Expect During These Treatments
Most scalp and hair restoration treatments are performed in-office and involve little to no downtime. For example, HydraFacial Keravive feels like a soothing scalp facial, allowing you to continue with your day right after treatment. PRP injections and microneedling sessions may cause mild redness or sensitivity lasting a day or two, but most patients resume regular activities shortly after their appointment.
Hair growth is a gradual process. Patients typically see small changes within a few months, with more noticeable improvements after consistent treatments. Setting realistic expectations is key, and Dana works closely with patients to track progress and adjust protocols as needed.
A Holistic and Personalized Approach
With over 25 years of medical and aesthetic experience, Dana Protomastro combines proven techniques with a holistic perspective. She understands that the emotional side of hair loss is just as important as the physical, and her goal is to deliver care that uplifts confidence while supporting long-term scalp health.
Every consultation includes time to discuss your personal history and goals. Whether you are noticing the first signs of thinning hair or seeking more advanced restoration options, Dana provides compassionate guidance and advanced treatments with your best interests in mind.
Building Confidence Through Healthy Hair
Healthy hair is deeply connected to how we feel about ourselves. By focusing on the scalp first, patients can improve their chances of stronger, longer-lasting results. Scalp health is truly the foundation for successful hair growth, and at Thrive Wellness and Aesthetics, patients have access to the latest innovations to help them achieve their goals confidently and comfortably.
