HAIR LOSS............There are a plethora of hair loss causes
and reasons people lose their hair. Some of these reasons cause temporary hairloss, while others produce permanent hairloss. The reasons for temporary hairloss range from illnesses acquired, medications taken, and infections attained, to heightened stress levels, unbalanced diet, and traumatic events. The causes of permanent hairloss generally are due to hormonal imbalances and genetic associations. Whatever, the cause, the person experiencing the loss of their hair wants the very best hair loss treatment.
Temporary hairloss cases can usually be easily remedied. The first step in solving this problem is to identify which of many hair loss causes is the culprit. Discuss with your doctor all of the possibilities that could cause this hairloss. Mention any changes you have recently endured. Some possible hair loss causes include major surgeries, skin disorders, fevers, infections, thyroid disease, lack of iron and protein, high levels of stress, some medications, and traumatic life events. In the majority of cases, once the best hair loss treatment is determined and the root of the problem is brought under control, hair growth will then return to its normal patterns.
Women may experience temporary hairloss following pregnancy. The reason for this is because during the pregnancy term, the hormones of a woman’s body changes. Because pregnant women have elevated levels of progesterone and reduced levels of estrogen, hair will begin to fall into its resting stage too early. After childbirth, new hair will then begin to grow, causing the hair that is in its resting phase to shed. This typically occurs between three and six months post childbirth, and women will attain normal hair growth patterns following this temporary situation.
Permanent hairloss often has a lot to do with hormonal imbalances. Elevated levels of Dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, can cause hairloss. DHT is a male hormone that is also found in women in smaller amounts. Because hair follicles are ultra-sensitive to DHT, an excess of the hormone often causes the hair to fall out. Hairloss that is caused by DHT will need to be treated using one of several options. One option to treat this type of hairloss is by using the medication Propecia, which works to stop the production of DHT. This is the only type of oral medication that works to stop hair loss. Another option is hair transplantation surgery. This procedure replaces hair follicles that no longer produce hair with healthy hair follicles to produce a natural looking head of hair with the actual natural hair growth process.
Solutions to Hair Loss
Minoxidil Rogaine®
In the late 1970s, the drug company Upjohn introduced minoxidil – a prescription tablet used to treat severe blood pressure. Inadvertently, it was discovered that minoxidil reduced and, in some cases, regrew hair. In 1988, Minoxidil in a lotion form became the first pharmaceutical ever to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for hair growth. Marketed under the trade name Rogaine, a prescription was initially required. Rogaine helps to reverse hair follicle shrinkage, which characterizes inherited pattern hair loss.
Follicular Unit Transplantation Surgical Hair Replacement
Follicular Unit Transplantation is the latest, state-of-the art hair restoration procedure superseding Mini and Micro Hair Transplants, Flap Surgery and Scalp Reduction. It is the only treatment that provides a full, natural looking head of hair.
Follicular Unit Transplantation is only possible through the use of the stereo-microscope. The stereo-microscope is used to dissect the follicular units, which grow in naturally occurring groups of one to four hairs. The microscope ensures accurate and undamaged dissection.
