Understanding Hair Loss

Hair loss can be medically explained as alopecia. This condition is quite widespread. However, in order to have the most successful outcome when undergoing hair loss treatment, it is important to be aware of its possible reasons and symptoms.

Causes of Hair Loss

Hormonal Changes

The best-known cause is hormonal changes for conditions like androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness), which are triggered by hormonal changes.

Genetics

A family history of hair loss can also increase the likelihood of experiencing it.

Stress

Physical, emotional, or any kind of stress can lead to temporary hair loss.

Medical Conditions

Thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases (e.g., alopecia areata), and scalp infections can contribute to hair shedding.

Nutritional Deficiencies

The absence of essential nutrients like iron, zinc, or biotin from your diet can weaken hair follicles.

Medications

Some medications, such as chemotherapy or blood pressure medicine, could lead to this condition due to its side effects.

Lifestyle Factors

Inadequate lifestyle or poor personal hygiene, excessive heat styling or tight hairstyles, would cause damage to the hair.

Symptoms of Hair Loss

Progressive thinning of the hair on top of the head (Typical in male/female pattern).
Receding hairline or bald patches, especially in males.
Excessive hair fall during the time of hair wash (more than 100 strands).
Itching or a/scalp irritation is associated with hair loss.
An apparent scalp is due to widening hair parts, especially in women.

If you are observing the signs above, the time has come to see an ABHRS-Certified specialist for a professional assessment and the most effective treatment for hair loss.

Diagnosis of Hair Loss

To treat the condition, we first need to know the correct diagnosis. To achieve this, our doctors employ highly advanced methods for determining the cause of your hair loss. This is how we do it:

1. Medical History Review: The starting point for us is to evaluate your family history, lifestyle, and basic health conditions.
2. Physical Examination: The physical examination of the scalp and hair analysis enabled the diagnosis of the type of hair loss.
3. Blood Tests: These tests will inform us regarding the deficiencies (iron and vitamin D) and any hormonal imbalance in the body.
4. Scalp Biopsy: Very occasionally, this is undertaken; then a piece of tissue is taken from the scalp to check for conditions such as alopecia areata.
5. Trichoscopy: Trichoscopy is an imaging modality that is safe for magnifying and evaluating hair follicles and scalp.

Using the correct diagnosis, we develop a treatment strategy targeting the root cause for long-term success.

Effective Hair Loss Treatments

We provide a comprehensive solution for medically proven hair loss treatments for men as well as women. Our treatment is specially designed to stop hair loss, promote hair growth, and bring confidence back to your life.

1. Topical Treatments

Minoxidil: This solution works for both men and women. The only direct hair growth stimulator currently FDA-approved to address hair loss is topical minoxidil. It comes under common names such as Mintop lotion or Amexidil sprays. A 5 percent solution, foam, and spray have been approved for men and a 2 percent solution for women. Using this is simple: twice a day, you apply the liquid or foam to your scalp. The one drawback is that if you stop using the treatment, any benefits achieved from this particular hair loss treatment for men will eventually be lost. You have to stay with it or your hair will revert to its previous loss pattern.

2. Oral Medications

Finasteride: This medication works for both men and women. It has received approval from the FDA to treat male pattern hair loss. The medication’s effectiveness depends upon the type of hair loss and its location. Oral medication does not work well on receding hairlines. Also, men who have thin wisps of hair are unlikely to have positive results because the hair follicles may not be salvageable. Men who have moderate thinning at the back or top of the head have a better chance of obtaining some visible benefit, but only for as long as they continue taking the medication.

Nutritional Supplements: Biotin, zinc, and multivitamin supplements to address deficiencies and support hair health.

3. Hair Transplant Surgery

This is the most effective way for both men and women to restore hair loss in the advanced stages of the Norwood scale. A hair transplant helps when a receding hairline or thinning hair becomes an issue. For those suffering from genetic hair loss, such as male and female patterns, other hair loss treatments might slow down the loss of hair, but they cannot combat it entirely. In fact, out of all the hair loss remedies available out there, hair transplantation is the well-known solution to restore hair. The success rates may vary from one individual to another, but hair transplantation is most often the final option for many suffering from hair loss.

4. Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

A safe and effective procedure, using laser light to energize hair follicles, improve blood circulation, and promote hair growth. This will prove extremely beneficial for individuals who may be in need of something mild but very effective. Nutritional Supplements: Biotin vitamins, zinc supplements, and multivitamins.

5. Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)

A cosmetic procedure whereby dots are tattooed on the scalp to create a thickness of hair. It is best suited for a person who is experiencing balding but wants a non-surgical approach to solve the problem.

Therapy Options for Hair Loss

1. PRP Therapy

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy has been proven to be an effective non-surgical method of finding solutions for hair loss as it simultaneously stimulates hair growth. It involves using a patient's blood containing a platelet-enriched derivative containing a large number of platelets, which are inserted deep into the organ of hair. This process has been used by doctors since the 1980s as an approach for hair therapy with very little risk for patients.

2. GFC Therapy

GFC, also referred to as Growth Factor Concentrate, refers to an advanced level of PRP hair gain therapy, which is even more refined or developed. GFC therapy is dedicated to achieving hair gain through concentrating these potent factors, which act as hair-growth agents when they are injected into the scalp, having first been extracted from the patient’s own blood, for hair follicle stimulation in a more effective and faster way. It was regarded as a hair-growth treatment that guarantees effectiveness compared to PRP and other hair-growth remedies.
