Hair Loss Solution
When it comes to hair
loss, people will ask, "what is the easiest way to get rid of this
condition." It's a very easy question, but not an answer that can be found
in a book or any medical research database. That is why we have found the
science behind hair loss and what it takes to tackle this condition. We have
compiled all the information about this type of baldness so that you can
understand how to deal with your dry, brittle hair, and stop hair from falling
out.
What causes hair
follicle damage?
It happens when our
follicles are damaged due to several reasons. The most common cause is
stress-related to environmental factors such as exposure to too much heat or
humidity. Another reason for hair loss may be excess oil or dirt on your scalp,
which can damage hair follicles. Other than these, there are other ways one can
damage their hair follicle. Some of these include using harsh chemicals on
hair, improper cleaning procedures, and even bad nutrition. In addition, some
people may experience problems if they smoke cigarettes or if they eat a lot of
sugar and fats. These are just a few examples of things that can happen when
our follicles are damaged.
Hair loss treatment
options
Once again, this is
where things get complicated. There are many different methods of hair
restoration, such as laser hair removal, chemical peels, medication, or even
surgical techniques. Each of these methods has its pros and cons, such as the
number of treatments necessary, the duration of time between each one, and
whether or not one of them can successfully target individual strands. If your
hair begins to fall out quickly, then laser hair removal, medication, or
surgery may not be the right option. However, if you want long-term results,
then laser removal is generally the fastest way to solve hair loss.
If you want quick
results, you'll need a professional hairstylist. Unfortunately, it is not
always possible to find someone who has expertise in hair restoration or offers
cutting-edge treatments because of the high cost of these services. What is
also unfortunate is that a lot of hair transplant centers do not accept
patients with certain illnesses. For example, patients with HIV cannot receive
transplants because they could infect others. Sometimes doctors don't know that
a patient does have certain diseases because they only look at their physical
appearance, and they might not realize that there is something wrong. While
there are cases where patients need surgery to correct problems with their
hair, there is no reason for anyone to delay their hair restoration plans due
to illness. There are plenty of clinics available that offer hair transplant
surgery at affordable rates. You can search online or call for assistance if
getting it done on your own is too expensive for you.
Now that you
understand the basics, let us see what the experts suggest:
Platinum Laser – In clinical
trials, platinum lasers proved less effective for repairing hair loss and had
no longer been recommended for hair restoration after two years. One study
showed that it helped reduce hair loss by over 80 percent. Regarding safety,
this type of light therapy has not been studied extensively because there have
not been enough studies to make it a safe procedure to treat hair loss. This is
more of a precaution, rather than anything conclusive. One drawback to silver
technology is that it requires precise targeting, as well as a strong and
healthy scalp for increased efficacy. Therefore, the results of platinum hair
removal are lower than that achieved by diamond lasers. But before opting for this
type of hair replacement, remember that you are not being fixed because a
single procedure was not enough to fix all your problems.
Strip Laser – Because of both
the benefits and limitations presented by this approach, strips are still not
considered the top choice for hair restoration. Strips work on the same
principles as plating and are based on applying high-intensity ultraviolet (UV)
light. UV light breaks down proteins into smaller pieces so that the hair
follicles regenerate on their own. This method of treating hair loss is usually
reserved for those who desire permanent hair growth, while plating is primarily
used for maintenance. Although UV strips can provide short-term improvements
and improve the appearance of thinning brows, they definitely may not be
successful for hair growth and permanent hair loss.
Dilation Cream: Dilation creams
contain acids, extracts, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and/or other
ingredients. They claim to help regrow hair follicles, which could mean that
they can boost hair growth. Nevertheless, the evidence is inconclusive. First,
the FDA reviews many products before determining approval. Second, according to
anecdotal reports, the effects vary depending on the concentration of the
ingredient. Third, the use of minoxidil, commonly known as Rogaine, may
significantly increase hair follicle proliferation, leading to significant
improvement in hair density. Fourth, despite claims that minoxidil can
stimulate hair follicles, more research is needed to determine the true effectiveness
of this drug. Finally, when it comes to permanent hair loss, research shows
that minoxidil alone does not affect hair loss. Overall, dilation creams have
nothing to say about permanent hair loss unless combined with other drugs.
Minoxidil® – Minoxidil is
frequently referred to as Rogaine. According to oral pharmacology expert Dr.
John W. Anderson, he recommends taking one pill twice daily for 12 months to
achieve the desired results within 12 weeks. However, before starting this
regimen it is important to check your symptoms closely. Frequent headaches can
indicate that mild side effects may interfere with the body’s ability to
produce hormones that control hair follicles. Since low levels of estrogen can
reduce the production of certain hormones, it is recommended that women
maintain stable blood levels of this hormone. After 12 weeks, it should be
clear if Minoxidil helps you attain hair growth results.
Medication for natural
hair restoration
There are some
medications designed to promote hair growth. All of them are safe to use if you
follow a doctor’s recommendation. Many of the medicines mentioned below require
regular intake. It is better to consult with a doctor prior and to take any medication
at least once a week.
Estrogen
Estrogens are natural
compounds found in our bodies. Estrogen treatment consists of three main
components: topical application, dietary supplements, and injections, or
through a patch that contains estrogen. Topical application of estrogens
involves sprays, pills (usually intramuscular), gel creams, oils, and lotions.
Dietary supplements contain vitamins A, B, C, and E, zinc, iron, calcium,
magnesium, and copper. Insulin is another type of estrogen therapy used when injected
into the bloodstream, and it is injected under the skin. Furthermore, there are
a limited number of recombinant human estrogens approved for marketing purposes
(e.g., norgestimate). All of these therapies depend on injection, which means
no hair loss.
Other popular approaches
include electro-injunctional treatment, photodynamic therapy, enzymatic
resurfacing, micro-needling, electrolysis, derma roller, cryotherapy,
microcurrent or electromagnetic ablation, photocrystallization, radiofrequency
therapy, ionotherapy, ultrasound energy therapy, bioengineering. If all of
these are unsuccessful, then medical professionals will recommend the following
options:
1. Chemotherapy
2. Immunotherapy
3. Tretinoin
4. Retinal scar therapy
5. Transdermal hydrocortisone
6. Acupuncture
