For most people, our hair is part of our self-image. We style it, color it, comb it, and use it to make a statement about who we are.
When hair loss robs us of the pleasure of this aesthetic self-expression, come to Marcos Medical Aesthetics & Wellness for hair restoration in San Antonio.
Contact us to schedule a hair restoration consultation, and get ready to get from here to hair!
What Can Cause Hair Loss
Hair loss in men and women can happen for any of several reasons.
- Genetics. You got it from your parents.
- Hormones. Pregnancy, menopause, andropause, and more.
- Nutrition. Deficiencies can affect follicle health and hair quality.
- Infections. Psoriasis, eczema, and more can cause hair loss.
- Androgenetic Alopecia. Also known as pattern baldness.
- Anagen Effluvium. Hair loss from medications.
This is just a quick list of the common causes, but stress, habits, and other factors can also impact your hair. During your consultation, your Marcos Medical provider will discuss your medical history, your scalp care regimen, and your lifestyle to determine which of our treatments can best address your hair loss.

Our Treatments for Hair Restoration
In San Antonio, our patients have two effective, proven choices for hair regrowth therapies.
PRP for Nonsurgical Hair Restoration
Your body’s own intrinsic healing power can be harnessed as a hair loss treatment to revitalize follicles through harvesting your blood’s platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
How It Works
By drawing a blood sample and running it through a centrifuge, your Marcos Medical provider can isolate PRP for injection into your scalp. Platelet-rich plasma contains a concentrated mixture of natural growth factors, which, when injected, naturally improves blood circulation and repairs scalp tissue to regrow thicker, stronger hair.
Clinical studies have shown that patients experience hair regrowth within about 6 months after they begin their treatment. Because we derive the PRP from your own body, there is little to no chance of adverse reactions.
Number of Sessions
3 to 6 treatments, with maintenance

Keravive for Scalp Health
An unhealthy scalp can stunt hair growth. You often see the signs of decreased scalp health when the skin itches, flakes, and has buildup on it.
It also shows in thinning hair and a receding hairline, because hair follicles get clogged with dirt, oil, and dead skin cells. This blockage stops needed nutrients and oxygen from reaching the follicles.
Keravive scalp therapy deep-cleans and hydrates your scalp skin, allowing your follicles to do what they do best: grow thicker, fuller hair.
How It Works
Keravive uses our HydraFacial skin care system to cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate your scalp.
After having Keravive for hair restoration in San Antonio, you can immediately enjoy reduced itching and flaking. As time passes, your hair may begin to look naturally fuller and thicker as your follicles return to improved, healthier function.
Number of Sessions
3 treatments spaced out monthly, with maintenance treatments every few months.
Alma TED
Using noninvasive technology, Alma TED is an FDA-cleared device that combats hair shedding and thinning.
How It Works
TED stands for trans-epidermal drug delivery, meaning it emits acoustic sound waves and air pressure deep into the hair follicles on your scalp.
But this technology doesn’t work alone. The device is used alongside our TED+ Hair Care Formula, which contains follicle-strengthening and hair-healthy active ingredients. Improved blood circulation and scalp health are promoted by this formula’s delivery via acoustic sound waves and air pressure deep into hair follicles.
Number of Sessions
3 treatments or more, depending on results.
Your Hair-Saving Process
It’s as simple as wash, rinse, and repeat. At Marcos Medical, we make hair restoration in San Antonio as quick and convenient as possible. It all starts with a consultation.
Wash: Consultation
We start by discussing your hair loss journey—when you first noticed shedding or thinning, and what you’ve done to combat it. While your hair may be a source of confidence, it’s also an indication of your health. As we stated earlier, your hormones and nutritional deficiencies may be the reason you’re seeing more hair on your pillow and less on your head. Therefore, we may suggest visiting our primary care and internal medicine practice for routine lab work.
Next, we’ll discuss your treatment options. Depending on the severity of your hair loss, we can determine the best hair restoration method for you. Sometimes, we may even combine these services for optimal results.
Rinse: Treatments
Now that we have a plan in order, we just ask that you arrive with a clean head of hair. For each treatment, we will prep your scalp and assess your hair. All of our hair restoration options require at least 3 sessions to start with. This gives us the opportunity to adjust your treatment as necessary and track your progress.
This also requires at-home care, so we can suggest supplements and scalp-saving products to use in between sessions.
Repeat: Maintenance
Now that we’ve completed the initial round of treatments for your hair restoration in San Antonio, we schedule maintenance sessions. Similar to how repeated hair washing promotes a clean and nourished scalp, our continuous sessions help you maintain a full head of hair.
Benefits of Hair Restoration at Marcos Medical
Reviving your luscious locks is obviously the biggest perk to our hair restoration. But patients also love these treatments for the following reasons.
No Downtime
Whether you’re getting thicker hair from Keravive, PRP injections, or Alma TED, you don’t have to worry about taking extra time out of your day. We may suggest avoiding sun exposure on your scalp, but we would advise that regardless of whether you’re receiving hair restoration treatment or not.
Minimally- to Non-invasive
We aren’t going to leave scars or make incisions, because these are nonsurgical solutions. While PRP injections require a tiny needle, it’s no different from any other shot or injection you’ve received in your life.
Effective
These treatments stimulate blood flow, cleanse your scalp, and encourage cellular turnover, making them effective hair restoration treatments.
We’re Here for Your Hair
A fuller head of hair starts with a personal consultation. Contact us online or call us so that our team of aesthetic and wellness professionals can discuss your situation. Together, we’ll discover the solutions that could stop those bad hair days.
