What are the Symptoms and Causes of Hair Loss?
Causes of Hair Loss
Hereditary factors can lead to androgenetic alopecia, the most common form of hair loss.
Fluctuations in hormones due to pregnancy, menopause, or medical conditions like thyroid disorders can trigger hair loss.
Emotional or physical stress can result in telogen effluvium, a condition where hair follicles enter the resting phase prematurely.
A lack of essential nutrients, such as iron and protein, can weaken hair and increase shedding.
Tight hairstyles or frequent use of chemical treatments can cause traction alopecia or hair damage.
Autoimmune disorders like alopecia areata, fungal infections, or medical treatments like chemotherapy can lead to hair loss.
Diagnosis & Tests
Hair loss is typically diagnosed through a comprehensive evaluation by your healthcare provider. This may include:
- Assessing your family history for patterns of hair loss.
- Reviewing your medical history and any current medications.
- Examining your scalp for signs of infection or other conditions.
- Performing blood tests to check for hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, or thyroid issues.
- In some cases, a scalp biopsy may be recommended to better understand the underlying cause.
- Early diagnosis can help identify the most effective treatment options.
How is Hair Loss Treated
Treatment options for hair loss depend on its cause and severity. Common approaches include:
Medications:
- Topical Treatments: Minoxidil, applied directly to the scalp, can promote hair regrowth and slow loss.
- Oral Medications: Finasteride may be prescribed for male pattern baldness.
Procedures:
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: Involves injecting processed plasma into the scalp to stimulate growth.
- Hair Transplant Surgery: Relocates hair follicles from thicker areas to thinning or balding regions.
Lifestyle and Nutritional Adjustments:
- Adopting a balanced diet rich in protein and iron.
- Managing stress and avoiding hairstyles or treatments that strain the hair.
Personalised solutions can help address hair loss effectively, supporting both hair health and confidence.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
PRP therapy leverages your body’s natural healing process to rejuvenate and improve skin health. By using your own blood, PRP is a safe and natural method for addressing various skin concerns, with minimal risk of allergies or infections. This treatment can help improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, diminish acne scars, and support hair regrowth.
Polynucleotide Treatment
Polynucleotide treatment uses purified DNA molecules to support natural skin repair, targeting concerns like fine lines, dryness, and skin laxity. This non-invasive method helps improve skin hydration, texture, and elasticity, offering a refreshed look with minimal recovery time.
Optimize Wellness Test
The Optimize Wellness Test is an epigenetic assessment that uses a small hair bulb sample to evaluate your nutritional health and environmental exposure. It identifies deficiencies, toxins, and stressors that may impact your well-being. With this test, you gain valuable insights to take proactive steps for better health.
Prevention
Gentle Scalp Care
Wash your hair regularly with mild shampoos to remove dirt and excess oil without damaging hair follicles.
Avoid Tight Hairstyles
Minimise tension on your hair by opting for loose, comfortable styles to prevent strain and breakage.
Balanced Nutrition
Maintain a diet rich in protein, iron, and essential nutrients to support healthy hair growth.
Stress Management
Practice relaxation techniques to manage stress, which can contribute to hair loss.
Protect Hair from Damage
Avoid excessive heat styling, chemical treatments, and harsh hair products to maintain hair integrity.
When to call a doctor
Seek medical attention if hair loss occurs suddenly, is excessive, or is accompanied by symptoms like scalp irritation or other health concerns. A healthcare provider can identify underlying causes and recommend tailored treatments to address your specific needs and prevent further hair loss.
