When the Brush Holds More Hair Than It Should
Cause first. Protocol second.
Thinning on the crown, a part that keeps widening, postpartum shedding that never quite stopped — most patients notice hair loss in photographs before they notice it in the mirror. At Desert Bloom in Scottsdale, non-surgical hair loss treatment is narrower than most websites suggest, and that is deliberate.
Dr. Natalya Borakowski, NMD offers one in-clinic injectable pathway — PRP hair restoration using the patient's own platelets — and one compounded at-home topical (5% minoxidil, 1% finasteride, biotin) for daily maintenance between visits. No transplants, no laser caps in the treatment room, no "stem cell" marketing.
Before any protocol begins, Dr. Borakowski evaluates the underlying cause — genetic, hormonal, nutritional, or inflammatory — because treating a cause you have not identified is how patients end up cycling through treatments that were never going to work for them.
