The Approach

Thinning Hair Deserves a Real Treatment Plan

Hair loss affects roughly 85% of men and 50% of women at some point in their lifetime. It’s one of the most common aesthetic concerns we see — and one of the most poorly addressed across the industry.
At Canvas & Glow AesthetIQ, we take a layered approach. We start by understanding the cause and stage of your hair loss. Then we build a treatment plan that may include one option or several, depending on what your biology actually needs. We offer nonsurgical regenerative treatments (PRP, exosomes, PDRN, Hydrafacial Keravive), oral medication management, and surgical FUE hair transplant for patients who need permanent density.
Every protocol is supervised by Dr. Stephen Giordano.
Nonsurgical Options

Our Nonsurgical Treatments

PRP for Hair Restoration

Platelet-rich plasma therapy concentrates the growth factors from your own blood and injects them directly into the scalp at sites of thinning. Stimulates dormant follicles, improves blood supply, and extends the active growth phase of the hair cycle. Most patients undergo three to four sessions spaced one month apart, followed by semi-annual maintenance.

Hydrafacial Keravive

A scalp health treatment powered by Hydrafacial's vortex technology. Cleanses the scalp of impurities and infuses a proprietary peptide complex — including growth factors, niacinamide, vitamin B5, and arginine — directly into the follicles. Includes a take-home peptide spray for daily use.

Exosomes & PDRN

Benev Exosomes deliver concentrated stem cell-derived growth factors that signal follicular cells to repair and regenerate. PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) activates adenosine A2A receptors to stimulate tissue healing, new blood vessel formation, and cellular turnover at the follicular level.

Surgical Option

FUE Hair Transplant

For patients with advanced hair loss or areas where follicles have gone permanently dormant, surgical hair transplant is the only way to restore real, lasting density. Canvas & Glow offers Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), the current gold standard in hair transplant surgery.
FUE involves individually extracting follicular units from the donor area using precise micropunch tools. These grafts are then implanted into the thinning or bald areas, following the natural growth direction and hairline pattern. Because each graft is extracted individually, there is no linear scar.
Transplanted hair sheds initially (this is normal and expected), then begins regrowing at three to four months. Full results are typically visible at eight to twelve months. Because the transplanted follicles come from areas genetically resistant to DHT, the results are permanent.

FUE procedures take 3–8 hours under local anesthesia. Most patients return to normal activities within 2–3 days.

What to Expect

Before

Every hair restoration patient begins with a thorough consultation. Dr. Giordano or your provider will assess the pattern, stage, and likely cause of your hair loss. Blood work may be recommended to rule out underlying causes like thyroid dysfunction or nutritional deficiency.

During

Nonsurgical treatments like PRP and Keravive take 30–60 minutes. Exosome and PDRN scalp sessions take about an hour. FUE transplant is a full-day procedure lasting three to eight hours under local anesthesia. All treatments are performed in our Huntersville clinic under physician supervision.

After

PRP and Keravive require no downtime. FUE requires two to three days of reduced activity and careful post-operative care to protect the grafts. Your provider will give you a detailed recovery plan including instructions for shampooing, sleeping position, and activity restrictions.
Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

The most common cause is androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss), which is genetic and driven by DHT. Other causes include stress, hormonal changes, thyroid conditions, nutritional deficiencies, and certain medications. Your consultation will help identify the likely cause and guide treatment selection.

Most patients with early to moderate thinning are good candidates. PRP is less effective for areas where follicles have gone completely dormant. Your provider will assess your scalp and recommend whether PRP alone or combined with other treatments is the best approach.

Most patients maintain results with semi-annual maintenance treatments after completing their initial series. Without maintenance, the benefits gradually diminish over 12 to 18 months.

Yes. Transplanted follicles are genetically resistant to DHT and will continue to grow for life. However, existing non-transplanted hair may continue to thin without ongoing medical management, which is why we often combine transplant with PRP and medication.

Absolutely. Female pattern hair loss is extremely common. PRP, Keravive, exosomes, and PDRN are all effective for women. FUE transplant is also available for appropriate female candidates.

Most patients return to normal activities within two to three days. The tiny extraction sites heal within a week. Transplanted hair sheds at two to four weeks (this is normal), then begins regrowing at three to four months with full results at eight to twelve months.

Yes, and we often recommend it. PRP, Keravive, and exosomes work synergistically. Combining nonsurgical treatments with surgical transplant produces the best long-term outcome. Your provider will design a sequenced plan.

Yes. Hair restoration is one of our most requested services for both men and women across a wide range of ages and hair loss stages.
