Are you suffering from hair loss? Well, you are not alone. Hair loss can be a very emotionally distressing and it effects both men and women. In the US it affects 50 million men and 30 million women according to the American Hair Loss Association. It also affects people of all ages starting as early as puberty.  

Why is FSIM’s hair loss program different? At FSIM, we not only want to treat your hair loss externally using highly effective combined therapies like PRP, topical agents like minoxidil, hair serums, and peptides but we address the modifiable factors including targeting your specific nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, inflammation, gut dysbiosis, dysregulation of intrinsic signaling pathways and psycho-emotional stress. 

We created programs to address your hair loss and health concerns to optimize your health inside and out! 


Modalities we offer include:

The purpose is to teach you to take charge! 

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)- a very safe, effective, and natural way to promote hair growth. Using the body’s own liquid-gold to promote hair growth. PRP in numerous studies is found to be highly effective, however, PRP is not approved for the specific purpose of hair restoration by the FDA. At FSIM we use the Eclipse PRP system which is an FDA-approved device. Hair restoration using PRP is a minimally invasive procedure and has become a popular alternative to hair transplants in both women and men. Dr. Staid loves using PRP because it is derived from the patient’s own blood and has no chemicals added to it, reducing the likelihood of complications. 

Topical Therapies- there are many topical therapies on the market. One of the best known is OTC minoxidil (Rogaine) which is FDA approved for hair loss. Their also non-pharmaceutical topical serum and foams to enhance hair growth. At FSIM we use peptides (small protein messengers) that may enhance hair growth. 

Nutrient Supplements- Nutrient deficiencies and insufficiencies are well-known causes of hair loss. At FSIM we determine what your personal needs are and treat you with pharmaceutical grade supplements to get the best results. IV and IM nutrient therapies can be a good solution for some people who are very deficient to increase their levels quickly. Additionally, specific strains of probiotics can also play an important role in optimizing hair growth. 

Theradome Laser helmet- an FDA-approved wearable laser helmet treatment device for hair regrowth. Theradome’s targeted lasers deliver a precise dose of energy to hair follicles, bio-stimulating mitochondria (the “power plants” of cells) to stabilize hair loss, thicken hair, and start hair regrowth. The optimized laser wavelength (680 nm) which is ideal for clinical strength hair growth therapy. The time required is only two 20-minute sessions per week. 

Stress Reduction Therapies- Stress can be a significant contributor to hair loss in some people. In others, having hair loss can be very stressful and diminish a person’s self-confidence and self-esteem. Stress management is critical to enhancing their long-term hair restoration success. We offer multiple different modalities to help patients manage and reduce their stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Some therapies we offer include neuro-emotional technique (NET), cognitive behavioral therapy, couple’s counseling, mindfulness-based stress reduction (group or individual classes), and Heart-Math Biofeedback.
