It’s no wonder we look forward to, and even celebrate, good hair days. However, between our genetic predispositions, lifestyle factors, and stress, hair loss has become an increasingly common struggle for many. Thankfully, all hope is not lost. According to mother-daughter duo Dr. Julieta Peralta-Arambulo and Dr. Mariel Arambulo-Cordero of the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/asianhairrestorationcenter/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Asian Hair Restoration Center</a>, pragmatic solutions may be closer than you think.</p><p>Speaking to ABS-CBN Lifestyle and other members of the press, Dr. Julieta outlined the different options the center has to address this issue. Foremost would be hair transplantation, which involves harvesting healthy hair follicles from more resilient &quot;donor sites,&quot; typically at the back of the scalp where hair is naturally denser and resistant to the hormones that trigger shedding. Once transplanted into thinning or balding areas, these follicles integrate, heal, and continue their natural growth cycle, resulting in visibly fuller, thicker hair.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:958px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17878943328814 (1).jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner"><em>Maria Julieta “Mariel” Arambulo-Cordero (Hair Transplant Associate Physician, Asian Hair Restoration Center) and Dr. Julieta Peralta-Arambulo (President &amp; Founder of Asian Hair Restoration Center, Philippines&#x27; first Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS), and a Fellow and Member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS))</em></span></span></span></div><div><strong>Merging Art and Science</strong></div><p>&quot;Hair transplantation is the gold standard for restoring permanently lost hair—but only when performed on the right patient, at the right time, and for the right indications,&quot; shares Dr. Julieta. &quot;Our responsibility is to ensure every patient receives the most appropriate treatment, not simply surgery.&quot;</p><p>An expert in the field, Dr. Julieta is the country’s first Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS), and a Fellow and Member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS). She emphasizes the importance of having physicians and a skilled medical team perform this procedure, making it safe and effective.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:958px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17878943074616.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner"><em>In the Philippines, the Asian Hair Restoration Center (AHRC) has established itself as the country&#x27;s leading authority in physician-led hair transplantation</em></span></span></span></div><p>To wit, each patient at Asian Hair is given a comprehensive physician-led consultation to determine if indeed hair transplantation or a non-surgical regenerative approach is the better option. For surgical candidates, Dr. Julieta offers two primary techniques, namely the Strip and the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) methods. In certain cases, she combines both to achieve the most natural, high-density results. Downtime from the treatment can range for a few days to a week, and hair is expected to fully grow within a few months.</p><p>For Dr. Julieta, hair transplantation is a delicate blend of art and a science. While it is a relatively minor outpatient procedure, achieving safe, natural, and permanent results requires exceptional technical precision. This is where the years of experience of the doctors, and their passion for the work come in. Meanwhile, artistry comes into play when determining the right method, the best donor sites, as well as when meticulously placing each follicle to create a natural-looking growth pattern.  </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1787894525781Asian Hair Restoration Thumbnail.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner"><em> Asian Hair Restoration aims to deliver natural-looking results through internationally recognized surgical expertise, comprehensive diagnostics, and personalized patient care</em></span></span></span></div><p>Dr. Julieta has treated both men and women across various age groups, extending her expertise to eyebrow transplants as well. One notable success story is singer Nicole Asensio, who got Dr. Julieta to craft fuller brows to complement her already gorgeous features. The performer remains thrilled with her results according to the seasoned derm, even close to ten years later.</p><div><strong>Getting to the Root Causes of Hair Fall</strong></div><p>And as hair loss can be multi-factorial, the clinic supplements its treatment plans with advanced diagnostics, including genetic testing when clinically indicated. By analyzing factors such as genetic predisposition, scalp inflammation, nutrient metabolism, and potential treatment responsiveness, this tailored approach minimizes trial and error. A key tool in their lineup is the TrichoTest, which identifies the specific medications a patient is most likely to respond to.</p><p>Working alongside Dr. Julieta is her daughter, Dr. Mariel Arambulo-Cordero who is also a dermatologist, a Hair Fellow at the Donovan Hair Academy, and a certified Functional Medicine practitioner. She explains that this field employs a root-cause approach to help patients attain a holistic understanding of their health. Aside from genetics, Functional Medicine also studies one’s microbiome, and performs other lab tests to determine if there are any hidden infections or inflammations that could be contributing to hair loss.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17878944820825.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Dr. Mariel explains that while genetics are powerful, our lifestyle could also play a role in premature hair shedding. This is, in a way, encouraging news as there are various ways to modify the latter. She advises patients to reduce stress, avoid environmental toxins, and minimize refined sugars and processed foods. She recommends a balanced diet packed with Omega-3s and other essential vitamins, alongside exercise.</p><p>In this evolving field, Asian Hair and its multi-disciplinary team is committed to raising the standard of care for patients, backed by internationally recognized expertise and evidence-based medicine. </p><div><em>The Asian Hair Restoration Center was founded in 2011 and is located on the 5th floor of Shangri-La Plaza Mall.
