When Emily Scher noticed that her hair was thinning and falling
out, she did what so many women do when faced with a problem - she
took action and found a solution. And when the deadly California
wildfires brought destruction to her Malibu community, she did not
let that stop her.

We are so excited to share Emily’s story with you to not only
show that hair restoration is possible, but also the power of her
resilience.
Emily’s Hair Loss Treatment: PRP Injections and Theradome
Laser Hair Therapy
While exploring options to stop and reverse her hair loss, Emily
heard about a treatment called platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
injections. She found a local medi-spa that offered the therapy and
they explained how the treatment worked, and why it is most
effective when paired with low-level laser therapy (LLLT).
PRP treatments involve injecting the scalp with platelet-rich
plasma drawn from your own blood, in order to increase the
nutrient-rich blood supply to hair follicles and spur hair growth.
Laser hair growth therapy also works to stimulate hair follicles
but by delivering a concentrated dose of energy with a precise
wavelength of light.
In order to maximize her success and get the best results
possible, the medi-spa where Emily received her PRP treatments
recommended that she purchase a Theradome laser hair growth helmet
and use it the day after each of her sessions.
For six months Emily received PRP injections and used her
Theradome helmet, until the fire came.
Rebuilding After the Woolsey Wildfire, a New Start with New
Hair
On November 8, 2018, a wildfire broke out in Malibu, California
outside of Los Angeles. Over the course of several days nearly
300,000 people evacuated the area for safety, including Emily and
her two children, as firefighters worked to contain the blaze. All
told, nearly 97,000 acres of land burned, and 1,634 structures were
destroyed.
Fortunately, Emily and her children were safe. However, their
home was not, and they lost virtually everything they owned.
Stepping up in the face of adversity, Emily and her children
relocated and began planning to completely rebuild their home. They
have worked to embrace their temporary location the last few months
until they can one day return to the community they love.
However, she no longer had her Theradome helmet and was unable
to get another one with everything else she needed to replace.
When Theradome learned of Emily’s story, inspired by her
tenacity, Theradome was thrilled to be able to help in this one
small way by sending her a new helmet.
She has not only started wearing her helmet again, she’d also
told a close friend who is undergoing cancer treatment about the
therapy and he’s seen improvement with his hair loss as well!
Of her experience with Theradome and laser hair growth therapy,
she said, “I wish that more people dealing with hair loss knew
about it, it really does work and I believe in it!”
