Shedding of 50 to 100 hairs is a completely normal process. When a hair sheds, it gets replaced by a new hair from the follicle which is just below the surface.
Hair is formed from a protein, which is of the same type as found in fingernails and toenails. It is imperative for everyone to eat an adequate amount of protein to maintain normal hair production. Egg, meat, nuts, chicken, dried beans and grains are all rich source of proteins.
Most of us feel that our hair grows and falls instantly. It is mainly because of our sudden realization on thickening or thinning of hair that we draw such a conclusion. However, the reality is overlooked.
Just like physiological and natural processes around the earth, our hair too undergoes a complete cycle. A single strand of hair is born, grows, enters old age and finally sheds off. Thus, normal hair growth is a cyclical process.
At a given interval of time, say two to three months or even one month in abnormal cases, when rate of hair fall exceeds the new number of hair born; we term it as hair loss. Similarly, when rate of growing hair is more than that of shedding; alleluia, it’s a sign of hair growth.
It is only due to some causes that one experiences gradual or rapid hair loss. When it happens, the normal hair growth cycle gets disrupted.
Causes of hair fall are plenty. To point them out, the main reasons are:
Although the term “hair loss” may seem to be the same, however it is different for everyone due to its distinct pattern. Most importantly, the specific pattern of hair loss determines the best possible treatment to regain lost hair and control further hair loss. Overall, hair loss can be classified into the following categories.
It is nothing but alopecia areata where hair follicles are attacked by the body’s own immune system as it cannot recognize its own blood cells. It causes extensive loss of hair in two ways- one by shedding entire hair from the head and two, loss of hair from the body. The worse thing about patchy hair loss is that it is unpredictable and its fallout varies across patients. Hence, hair specialists cannot come to a uniform conclusion for all cases.
Patchy hair loss can be cured by medical treatment and alternative therapies. Medicines include minoxidil which can be gently applied into the affected scalp areas. Some other medicines prescribed by the dermatologists or hair physicians can also heal the problem. Alternate cure includes aromatherapy, acupuncture and intake of vitamins and herbal supplements.
Male baldness can be effectively treated by the following treatment options:
Ladies also have a wide range of options to treat their fine hair, get rid of excess hair loss and ensure regrowth at the maximum level. These are:
Baldness and hair loss are the most common and wide spread problem among both male and female, but with proper care and medication, it can be stopped and even hair regeneration is possible.
Hair growth is a natural phenomenon but various factors like lifestyle (bad eating habits, smoking and alcohol consumption) stress, pollution etc, can negatively affect hair growth.
When the hair growth process gets affected by these obstacles, they result in to hair loss, dandruff, baldness and other hair related issues.Hair loss is also a result of side effects to medication for treating other health related issues such as, weight loss, blood pressure treatment, epilepsy medicine, cancer treatment medicines, chemotherapy etc.
But, today one has several options of treating hair loss, either by Medication or by Mesotherapy, or by Laser treatment.
One can also choose type of medication ranging from allopathic, homeopathy and Ayurveda, which have good medicines to enhance hair growth.
Medicine for treating hair loss reduces thinning of the hair, while enhancing coverage of the scalp by growing new hair. These medicines also thicken the shafts of existing hair so that it grows thicker. Point here worth noting is that, with these medicines, hair coverage improves on the top of the head but not in the forehead area.
Above, medicine should be taken strictly under the supervision and consultation with professional medical practitioner. All these medicines are effective only when followed with healthy lifestyle, nutritious food consumption and good hair care routine.
Ideally, the length of duration for these medicines depends upon the intensity of baldness and the response of the medications.
Minoxidil and Finasteride are too used daily and it may take somewhere around 6 months before the results start appearing. Other medicines like Silica, DPCP, and Nixon Vitamins should be taken on weekly basis or twice. All these medicines start showing results when taken for months.
These medicines do not work wonders and shows effect gradually, when consumed over period of time. But, yes, a routine consumption followed with a healthy lifestyle improves hair growth and reduces hair fall considerably.
In most of the medications for hair loss treatment, the crown part and the back-part show results first. The forehead area is the last part to show any results. The effects of these medicines depend upon the age and the location of hair loss and one should not expect to regrow full head of hair.
The only care to be taken while on medication for hair loss treatment is to follow a healthy routine, which includes a nutritious vitamin and mineral rich diet, completely abstain from any form of drugs, alcohols and smoking. Weekly hair massage therapy is also advisable, so that hair regeneration is coupled with medicines.
Note
Mesotherapy is a non-surgical cosmetic method of treating hair fall, patchy hair and thinning of hair by restoring hair. In this process superficial microinjections are administered just below the upper most layer of the scalp, called the epidermal layer, which stimulates the mesoderm layer in the skin tissues (it is situated at the depth of 1mm approximately), which encourage the hair’s growth and regeneration process. Recently, mesotherapy has been gaining popularity among the patients as it is highly successful and has effective results, both among men and women experiencing hair loss and balding.
The main highlights of the treatment are that it is based on the concept that the problems of hair loss are because of lack of proper nutrients and minerals/Vitamins, which gradually reduces the circulation of blood in the scalp area causing hormonal imbalances in the follicle, resulting in an excess production of hair loss androgen.
The treatment contains a solution of active ingredients, Acetyl tetrapeptide-3 and Biochanin- A which work together to stimulate natural hair growth. Also, minerals, amino acids, vitamins, enzymes and nucleic acids, can be mixed into different proportion and can be customized according to the patients’ requirements. And, after the solution is injected it acts by restoring the hormonal imbalances and thus gradually decreases the hair loss and restores the natural hair. The treatment procedure varies from patient to patient, however a session usually takes between approximately 15 to 30 minutes, depending upon the size of the area of treatment.
On an average minimum of 10 sessions are required in order to create the conditions in the scalp required to stimulate hair growth, beginning with an intensive course of treatments every 2 weeks for the first few months, after which it is then decreased in frequency to once every 3 months or less.
Mesotherapy works by dual action of chemical and mechanical stimulation in the affected area of hair loss. The chemical action of ingredients administered stimulates response in the mesoderm. Whereas in mechanical action the needle which is used to inject the solution develops micro perforations in the tissues, thus inducing a healing leading to the production of elastin and collagen, which are used to grow hair.
The ingredients in the solution actively work together for faster hair growth by improving blood circulation, stimulating production of collagen, reducing inflammation, and increasing the follicle size to stop hair loss.
Mesotherapy can potentially eliminate the need for hair transplant or implant surgery.
Considerable change starts to reflect once the therapy is over, and the baldness might be the issue of past. But, the result also depends upon the quality of hair and follicle cells.
Note– When the mesotherapy is performed under the treatment of expert it is very safe and painless. Also, there is no need of dressing of skin or injecting anaesthesia.
Mesotherapy are sometimes used in conjunction with BotilinumToxinto. But, generally it is done without combination of any other treatments. But, it is advisable that the patient undergoing mesotherapy should consult their physicians and seek proper advice. There might be some irritations and itching in few of the cases. However, one should remember that mesotherapy treatments work best when harmful chemicals and toxins are eliminated from the diet and followed by a healthy exercise program.
Laser light therapy or sometimes referred as low-level laser therapy stimulates hair growth as well as prevent future hair loss even after stopping the treatment. Laser light therapy is low level exposure to near infrared radiation. The therapy involves placing the scalp (areas to be treated) under infrared-emitting laser diodes.
On the one hand, laser therapy can permanently remove body hair. On the other, it can accelerate hair growth rates and even increase hair follicle proliferation in humans and this is possible because it accelerates the regeneration of crushed nerves and encourages hair follicle proliferation and it also depends upon the wavelength, exposure time, and frequency of exposure.
Low laser therapy treats androgenetic alopecia which is a genetic condition that is the most common form of balding pattern observed in both male and female. People with androgenetic alopecia have a gene that makes them more reactive to the effects of the androgenic hormone, called Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT grows in the roots of hair follicles and in genetically more sensitive person it causes hair follicles to decrease in size and gradually follicles become so inactive and dormant that it stops growing leading to hair loss.
The hair growth happens in three phases namely, anagen phase being the growth phase, followed by catagen phase, called the transition phase and the final phase being the Telogen phase. It is in the third phase that the hair become dormant and stops growing. The low laser therapy works by stimulating the hair follicles and moving them to anagen phase.
The therapy works by using a low label infrared light of wavelength 630 to 670 nanometre, as light of this wavelength is absorbed by the hair follicles. The light penetrates through the scalp, stimulating the epidermal stern cells, which pushes the regeneration of hair follicles. This helps in increase in the flow of blood and stimulates metabolic process necessary for hair growth, thus preventing formation of DHT in the follicles region.
The treatment is highly effective in treating weaker and thinner hair follicles making hair stronger and healthier, and thus stopping hair loss. The main concern is that it only works when the hair follicle is active, because in dead hair follicles there is no hair regeneration. Hence, it is advisable to start the therapy as soon as possible.
Treatment time and way of administration
Low laser therapy can be done at clinic or at salon or even at home, because the laser machine used are handy and portable, requiring 2-3 treatment per week and each treatment lasts for around 15-20 minutes. The results start showing after 3 to 4 months.
The therapy can be carried out using, in saloon hoods/ overhead panels, head caps or hand-held device. Following are two different types of laser therapy treatments, generally used-
Laser Combs. Laser diodes are in the form of hair built between the bristles and can be used anytime and anyplace, just to give quick low laser hair therapy.
Personal Laser Helmets. Laser diodes are in the form of wearable portable helmets. The advantage is that it saves time and resources to make visit to doctor and is very handy to use.
Laser hair therapy may be delivered in clinic, salon or salon by trained professionals; the person administering the therapy should know how to operate the laser machine and the proper way to do it. Scalp treatment and massages that promote blood circulation may be used additionally as part of the program.
Under proper guidance, laser light therapy could be one of the best methods for hair loss treatment.
Hair transplantation is achieved by removing follicles from the back of the head as they are more resistant to hormonal changes, and planting them in areas of baldness. Hair transplants can produce good and long-lasting results, but as they require surgery in multiple sittings, the time taken for healing may be longer. But, there are several solutions to hair fall treatment; hair transplantation is the most permanent ways of treatment.
For FUE, people with larger baldness area nut who want it to be covered in single sitting go, and also people who can bear pain of cuts and stitches. Whereas, people with less baldness area, active lifestyle and people who prefer less invasive procedures and don’t want deep cuts and stiches and prefer faster recovery go for FUE method of extraction.
First the region where baldness is to be treated is numbed with the use of local anesthesia injection. After that, small locations are created using very fine needles and blades, in the area of baldness. The follicles extracted are then minutely inserted in place of baldness. The method is a sort of surgery and takes several hours to be completed. The head is completely shaved before carrying out the surgery.
The advantage of FUT is that it is beneficial in treating larger area and can be covered in very few sittings. Also, the follicles which are cut while removing are lesser and provides superior results.
The advantages of FUE method are that, it does not involve cuts and stitches, resulting in quicker recovery time with no scar visible.
Points to be remember before undergoing FUT or FUE hair transplant surgery.
The cost of hair transplant, both in FUT and FUE are calculated based on per graft of transplant. FUT method costs on an average Rs.25 to 40 per follicles and FUE transplant varies from Rs. 30 to Rs. 100 per follicles and hence are costlier. The price further varies depending upon several factors.
