Practice Policy Update Regarding COVID-19

Dear Patients:

Our office has been open since June 15, 2020. We consider the well-being of our patients and staff as our highest priority and it is always best to take sensible precautions during a time like this.

Our staff have all been vaccinated, and we have had no single case of COVID-19 due to our strict protocols. We have an extensive level of cleaning and sterilization between patients for your safety while in-office. I appreciate your efforts in keeping our practice a safer place!

Please note the following in regards to all patient appointments:

We are asking patients who experience any of the following symptoms to self-quarantine and cancel their appointments: fever, shortness of breath, change of sense of smell or taste, runny nose, sore throat, coughing, chest pain, any direct contact with Covid-19 positive individual(s). COVID-19 testing is no longer required for certain procedures for fully vaccinated patients.

We do provide a Virtual Consultation for your convenience: Virtual Consultation if needed, but we strongly recommend taking advantage of our in-person consultations since those are most effective for meeting with Dr. Sheena Kong or Colette Janes.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to welcoming you to our office!

Kindest Regards,
Dr. Sheena Kong

Nutrafol supplements are a new type of "nutraceutical" support that goes well beyond existing vitamin and mineral supplements to nourish hair. Nutrafol is a nutritional supplement that targets the main causes of hair loss before these factors take hold. Factors that most often contribute to hair loss include:

Aging. The aging process causes a steady deterioration in cell functioning in just about every area of the body, and the hair is no exception. The rate at which our hair grows steadily decreases as we get older, so lost hair is replaced more slowly, or not at all. The loss of collagen in the skin that occurs with age is also thought to have an impact on hair loss and regeneration.
Genetics. Though scientists have yet to develop a complete understanding of all the genetic markers causing hair loss, it is known that genes are often a contributing factor in why some individuals experience hair loss earlier and at a faster rate than others.
Hormone Imbalances. The concentrations of different hormones shift as we age, and these changes have an impact on hair loss and growth. One of the most influential hormones for hair is dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which affects both genders, but impacts males at a higher rate.
Stress, inflammation, free radicals, etc. Any number of factors, both within an individual and occurring in the environment, can cause changes in the body that lead to accelerated hair loss.

What does Nutrafol contain?

Nutrafol's patented formula includes 20 unique botanicals, all naturally-derived ingredients, combined in different concentrations for women or men. The ingredients are specifically designed to combat hair loss in four key stages:

Step 1: Target and reduce harmful levels of DHT and stress hormones to halt further follicle damage.
Step 2: Reduce inflammation and chronic stress that have a prolonged impact on the hair growth and restoration cycle, so that disrupted cycles are normalized.
Step 3: Improve circulation and restore structure to the scalp, all while promoting immune functioning, to promote a healthy growing environment and stimulate dormant hair follicles to reinitiate growth.
Step 4: Stimulate the growth cycle and provide hair with the necessary vitamins and other building blocks to flourish.

For both men and women suffering the effects of hair loss, Nutrafol is a nutraceutical solution that goes beyond a mere vitamin supplement, for natural regeneration from the inside out. If you are looking to achieve natural hair regeneration with Nutrafol supplements, please contact Dr. Sheena Kong's downtown SF med spa for more information & a consultaton.
