Thinning hair affects far more than appearance—it often undermines confidence, disrupts routine, and signals underlying health shifts. At Core Plastic Surgery in Birmingham, AL, we offer a medically guided approach to hair wellness, featuring physician-recommended hair growth supplements such as Nutrafol and Viviscal Professional. These scientifically formulated solutions target the root causes of hair loss with key nutrients that nourish hair follicles, promote existing hair growth, and support long-term scalp health, all without the need for surgery or downtime.
Hair loss results from a combination of genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and stress. Male pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia, is commonly linked to DHT sensitivity in men, while women may experience thinning hair due to hormonal fluctuations from menopause, thyroid issues, or stress. Lifestyle, environmental exposure, and poor diet can also disrupt the hair growth cycle, leaving follicles in a dormant state.
Addressing hair loss early allows patients to stabilize shedding and stimulate healthy hair growth by nourishing the body from within. Supplements like Nutrafol and Viviscal are effective when incorporated into a consistent regimen, especially when tailored to your specific hair type, age, and medical history.
Nutrafol is a medical-grade supplement line designed to support hair growth by addressing the four primary causes of thinning: stress, hormonal imbalance, environmental toxins, and inadequate nutrition. Each formulation includes a patented Synergen Complex, combining ingredients such as saw palmetto (for DHT balance), marine collagen, ashwagandha, and curcumin. These support circulation, reduce inflammation, and restore vitality to the scalp and follicles.
Nutrafol’s drug-free formulas work within the natural hair growth cycle. They are supported by published clinical studies, which show increased thickness, faster regrowth, and improved scalp coverage after 3–6 months of daily use. Nutrafol is safe for long-term use and free from artificial orange flavoring, gluten, dairy, and soy.
Nutrafol Men’s formula is specifically designed to combat male pattern baldness by blocking DHT, a hormone that shrinks follicles and disrupts the growth cycle. It also supports scalp integrity and strengthens thinning hair using zinc, saw palmetto, and marine complex ingredients.
Nutrafol Women’s Balance is formulated for women navigating hormonal transitions like perimenopause and menopause. It includes vitamin C, apple extract powder, and ashwagandha to rebalance the stress response and promote beautiful hair from the inside out.
Viviscal Professional is another leading supplement for healthy hair growth, available exclusively through medical offices. Its core ingredient—AminoMar™ marine complex—is combined with l-cystine, l-methionine, acerola powder, and microcrystalline cellulose to nourish thinning hair and reactivate dormant hair follicles. It’s suitable for both men and women, working to improve scalp condition, boost the growth phase, and encourage visibly fuller hair.
Viviscal Professional dietary supplements are free from artificial orange flavoring and harsh additives. Their streamlined ingredient profile supports patients with sensitive conditions seeking a clinically effective alternative.
Hair growth supplements offer a proactive, non-surgical way to regrow hair and restore confidence. They work synergistically with your body to improve circulation, stabilize the follicle environment, and deliver vital nutrients that strengthen existing hair growth. Key Benefits:
Supplements are discreet, easy to integrate into daily routines, and require no downtime, making them ideal for busy professionals and long-term hair maintenance strategies.
Most adults experiencing thinning hair, receding hairlines, or reduced density can benefit from hair supplements. Ideal candidates are in overall good health and looking to support the hair growth cycle naturally, without surgery or prescription medications. Supplements may not be appropriate for individuals with marine allergies, certain medical conditions, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. During your consultation, we’ll review your health history, medications, and scalp condition to ensure a safe, customized treatment plan.
At Core Plastic Surgery, your consultation begins with a detailed evaluation of your scalp, hair growth patterns, and lifestyle. We may review recent lab work or nutritional history to identify gaps in your current regimen. Based on this, we’ll recommend the most appropriate supplement—whether Nutrafol, Viviscal, or a combination—and explain how it supports your unique needs.
No preparation is necessary, but we may suggest discontinuing overlapping vitamins or adjusting your existing diet to optimize absorption. You’ll also receive a timeline of when to expect results and how to track progress.
Most supplements are taken once daily with food to enhance absorption and minimize any gastrointestinal discomfort. Capsules contain bioavailable forms of key nutrients, including vitamin C, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, and methyl cellulose, to support absorption and effectiveness. Patients should commit to using the device consistently for 90–180 days for optimal results. Our team provides ongoing support with progress checks and can recommend combination therapies for stubborn cases or more advanced hair loss.
