Training & Experience

- Sofiya earned her Master of Science in Nursing as an Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner from Adelphi University in Garden City, New York, in 2021.

Areas of Expertise
Sofiya performs plasma procedures for patients seeking a non-surgical way to support thinning hair. Using a small sample of the patient's own blood, the platelets are concentrated and then injected into areas of the scalp where follicles are weakening. ACP is often ideal for patients in the early stages of hair loss, those with diffuse thinning, or anyone who wants to strengthen existing hair before or after a transplant. Her years of injection experience allow her to adjust depth, spacing, and technique to support comfort and even coverage across the treatment area.

Proven Results
Patients who work with Sofiya Shimonova, AGNP, often describe their experience as thorough, comfortable, and focused on achieving realistic improvement. Over the years, she has helped clients address early thinning, increased shedding, a widening part, and loss of hair quality, as well as supporting patients who want to protect the results of a past transplant. Many patients notice that their hair feels fuller and healthier over the course of treatment, with improvement that blends naturally into their everyday appearance. Because she personally performs each treatment, from the scalp assessment to the injections themselves, Sofiya can closely manage the details that shape the final result.

For many patients, the combination of clinical skill, hands-on involvement, and clear communication makes the process feel safer, more predictable, and more comfortable.
Why Patients Choose Sofiya Shimonova, AGNP
Clinician-Led Expertise
When you choose Sofiya, your hair restoration is guided by a licensed nurse practitioner with advanced training in patient assessment, medical management, and injection-based treatments. She is not simply a name on the clinic's website. She is actively involved in your consultation, planning, and every treatment session. Patients appreciate this model because the same person who evaluates their scalp and designs their plan is the one performing the treatment.
Nearly a Decade of Injection Experience
Sofiya has been performing aesthetic and regenerative injections since 2016, including formal ACP training in 2017. That experience shows in the details: steady technique, careful spacing, and attention to patient comfort throughout each session. Her additional role training other clinicians reflects the high standard she holds for safe, consistent care.
Non-Surgical Options That Fit Your Life
Not every patient needs or wants surgery. Sofiya offers treatments with little to no downtime, so most patients can return to work and daily activities the same day. This flexibility is an advantage for patients in the early stages of hair loss, those who are not candidates for surgery, or anyone who wants to strengthen their hair before committing to a transplant.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Sofiya's care extends beyond a single treatment. She can combine ACP, microneedling, medical therapies, and at-home care into one plan built around your pattern of loss and goals. When surgery may be the better path, she plans, oversees and recommends a hair transplant procedure.
