Hair loss is unplanned, and the idea of balding scares anyone? To determine the cause of the hair loss is tricky but possible.

Hair loss is not in your imagination

Hair loss is caused by a disturbance in the body, the hormones, the auto-immune system or stress. Also known as Alopecia; it can result in the instant loss of all your hair.

Common causes of hair loss:

Anemia, stress, fungal infections, chemotherapy, hormonal changes, severe infection. Also relevant are the following: a change in diet, crash diets, insufficient supplementation and medication e.g. anticoagulants or beta-blockers.

Alopecia Areata and the link to autoimmune conditions, such as:

Thyroid disease – an imbalance such as an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism)

Diabetes – a condition of elevated glucose (sugar) levels in the blood

Vitiligo – a condition of white patches on the skin

Traction Alopecia

Traction alopecia arises from persistent pulling on the hair due to tight hairstyles. This stress can lead to lasting follicle damage and hair loss. To prevent this, opt for looser hairstyles, reduce the use of harsh styling products, and consider scalp-stimulating treatments to encourage hair regrowth.

Treatments for hair loss:

1. Carboxytherapy, injected Mesotherapy and PDT increase circulation and improve collagen synthesis. As a result, they stimulate the grown follicle, this, in turn, increases hair growth.

2. Mesotherapy is a cocktail of growth factors, peptides, amino, nucleic and hyaluronic acids and vitamins. These ingredients are microinjected into the mesoderm layer of the skin to stimulate hair growth.

3. Botulinum Toxin injected into the scalp every four months decreases the resistance to blood flow around the hair follicle, it results in an improved circulation to the hair follicle.

Treatment increases the blood flow and circulation to the scalp. The stimulation invigorates the hair follicle and results in healthier hair, preventing further hair loss. Therefore overall treatment includes supplementation, special hair care and a range of medical recommendations.

For advice and diagnosis consult a medical doctor or health care practitioner, there are many modern products that can aid in restoring hair growth.
