    Hair Loss Treatment

    Each hair goes through four normal stages: growth (anagen), transition/degradation (catagen), rest (telogen), and shedding/new hair growth phase (exogen). Shedding of hair is a part of the resting phase wherein new hair takes place of the old hair and continues to grow. Normally, 50-150 hair strands can shed every day. However, if the number of hair falls, every day, ismore than the normal range and this excessive hair loss is resulting in progressive hair-thinning bald patches, or even complete hair loss, it can be very embarrassing and distressing.Dr. Soumya Singh , dermatologist in Faridabad at The Skin Clinique can help treat hair loss in various ways. This write up talks about some of the best hair loss treatment options. But before going straight to that, let’s have a clear understanding of hair loss.

    What is Hair Loss?

    Hair loss (medically referred to as Alopecia) is a condition wherein the hair starts to easily fall out in excessively large numbers and new hair does not replace the lost hair, thereby leaving behind sparse hair on the head. It is one of the most familiar concerns that dermatologists diagnose and treat. It can affect just the scalp or the whole body and it can be short-termed or for a lifetime. Anyone can experience hair loss of varying severity, but it’s most common among men.

    Consult Dr. Soumya Singh, the best hair doctor in Faridabad, to manage hair loss and hair fall issues with effective dermatological treatments.

    Signs and Symptoms of Hair Loss

    Hair loss can show up in many different ways, depending upon what causes it. It can appear over time or happen suddenly. Some signs of hair loss include:

    • Gradual Hair Thinning on Top of the Head- In men, it often occurs first as a receding hairline while women typically start to experience a broadening of the part in between their hair
    • Circular Bald Spots or Patches- Usually seen on the scalp, eyebrows, or beard. Before these are noticed, the skin may become itchy or painful.
    • Sudden Loosening of Hair- Any life tragedy or emotional/physical shock can result in a sudden handful of hair coming out. This type of hair loss can even result in the overall thinning of hair, but it’s temporary.
    • Total Body Hair Loss- Some medical conditions and treatments like chemotherapy for cancer can cause hair loss all over the body. However, the hair can grow back when chemotherapy is stopped or the underlying medication gets treated.
    • Scaly Patches that Spread on the Entire Scalp- The appearance of scaling on the scalp accompanying hair loss, redness, inflammation, and sometimes oozing, is a sign of ringworm infection.

    Causes of Hair Loss

    There are several possible reasons behind hair loss including:

    • Genetic Predisposition and Aging
      Family history of hair loss along with aging is the most common cause of hair loss among most people. Male or female pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia is a type of hair loss caused by heredity that usually occurs with advancing age and in a predictable pattern.
    • Hormonal Imbalance
      Most women experience hair loss due to fluctuations in their sex hormones during pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and thyroid problems.
    • Certain Medications and Supplements
      Sometimes people can experience hair loss because of the side effects of certain    drugs. These include beta-blockers, anti-depressants, chemotherapy drugs, and lev-odo-pa which are usually prescribed for arthritis, cancer, depression, gut, heart problems, and hypertension.
    • Nutrient Deficiency
      Hair loss is more commonly seen in malnourished people or anyone who have iron deficiency or lacks proteins, biotin, or zinc in their diet.
    • Some Underlying Medical Illnesses
      The medical conditions resulting in hair loss include alopecia areata (an autoimmune condition that causes patchy hair loss), scalp infections like ringworm, thyroid disorders, and a hair-pulling disorder such as trichotillomania.
    • Radiation Therapies
       Radiation therapy like chemotherapy can affect healthy body cells including those responsible for hair growth. After therapy, the hair may not grow back the same as earlier.
    • Major Stressors
      Many people face temporary general hair thinning after a few months of physical or emotional shock. A highly stressful event could be anything like a prolonged illness,bereavement, or loss of a job. This kind of hair loss is known as telogen effluvium.
    • Tight Hairstyles and Certain Hair Treatments
      Hairstyles that pull the hair tight can cause breakage of hair strands, a kind of hair loss called traction alopecia. Hot oil hair or permanent treatments or heat hairstyling can lead to excessive hair fall. If it leads to scarring, hair loss could be permanent.

    How can Hair Loss be Treated?

    Some types of hair loss are temporary and hair may grow back on its own or after the underlying cause gets treated. However, it becomes important to consult dermatologists who can recommend treatment to help it quickly grow. Sometimes, hair loss treatment is essential to prevent further hair loss.

    A treatment plan could include a single procedure or more than one treatments which may be different for men and women. There are many at-home treatments for hair loss that can be done with or without a doctor’s prescription. These include a hair growth stimulating drug called mino-xidil which also prevents future hair loss, the use of laser caps/combs to promote hair growth, and microneedling with a device having multiple long, tiny needles to create micro-injuries and encourage hair growth.

    Although at-home treatments for hair loss offers convenience to the patients, dermatologist-recommended hair loss treatments are found to be much safer and more effective. The procedures that a dermatologist may recommend to regrow hair include the use of corticosteroid injections into the bald or thinning areas of the scalp, prescription hair growth medications, low-level laser therapy (effective for alopecia areata, hereditary hair loss,chemotherapy-induced hair loss, and scalp healing and hair growth stimulation following a hair transplant), and hair transplant (in most severe cases).

    1. Growth Factor Hair Therapy
      It is a three-step, medical treatment for hair loss by dermatologists wherein a person’s blood is withdrawn using a sterile syringe, processed further via centrifugation to isolate the platelet-enriched plasma from other blood components, and then prepared growth factor injections are administered into the hair-thinning or balding areas of the scalp.The treatment comprises all-natural growth factors and essential proteins that play a major role in the natural wound healing process. Growth factor injections in the scalp can trigger natural hair growth and maintain it by nourishing the weakened hair follicles with a good supply of blood and increasing the thickness of the hair shaft.The desired results can be achieved by undergoing 3-6 growth factor treatments scheduled at 4-6 weeks apart. For their long-term effect, maintenance treatments can be done after every 4-6 months. The growth factors therapy for hair loss may either be performed alone or in combination with other hair loss treatments.

    2. Dermaroller
      A dermaroller is a handheld device having a handle and a roller whose surface is full of thousands of tiny needles (varying in length from 0.2-1.5 mm). It is one of the best affordable procedures that can tackle hair loss by increasing hair density and thickness. During the treatment, the device is run across the scalp in multiple directions (in order): horizontally, vertically, and diagonally by pressing it over the scalp. This procedure is best for hair loss patients and is also used along with other topical roducts, such as hair loss serums, and even with growth factor injection treatment is also combined with this procedure for best outcomes.
    3. Mesotherapy
      Mesotherapy for hair loss is approached with an injection of a vial containing all the ingredients necessary for hair revitalization and restoration. The procedure provides the scalp with improved blood flow and a boost of vitamins and other nutrients as well as hair growth medications. An injection gun is used to inject the prepared vial directly into the mesoderm layer of the scalp skin. It can negate the DHT hormones- a derivative of testo-st-erone, whose excess amount can interfere with the hair growth cycle. It is a less painful and quick procedure. In about 5 treatment sessions, maximal visible results can be achieved.
