Hair Loss Treatment
Hair loss can be distressing for anyone.
You may feel a sensitive, itchy, or painful scalp.
We provide effective treatments for alopecia.
What is Alopecia?
A condition where hair falls out from the scalp, face, or body.
There are several types of alopecia, including:
Alopecia areata:
Leads to isolated, circular bald patches on the scalp.
Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA):
Hair thins outward from the crown of the scalp.
Lichen planopilaris:
Thinning hair or bald patches, accompanied by itchy, and scaly skin.
Androgenetic alopecia:
Causes a receding hairline, hair loss on the top and front of the head.
Telogen effluvium:
Temporary hair loss, triggered by stress or a traumatic event.
What Causes Alopecia?
Various factors can contribute to hair loss, such as:
Autoimmune Disease:
The immune system attacks the hair follicles, halting hair growth.
Genetics:
Family history of hair loss.
Hair Products:
Using hot oils and chemical relaxers increases the risk of Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA). They irritate the scalp and scar hair follicles, leading to hair loss.
Hairstyles:
Certain styles can damage hair follicles, resulting in traction alopecia.
Hormones:
Androgens control hair growth in men and women. High levels can cause hair loss. It leads to male-pattern baldness in men and hair thinning in women.
Nutritional Deficiencies:
A diet lacking in essential vitamins and nutrients can impact hair growth.
Common Treatments for Hair Loss
Oral or Topical Minoxidil:
Slows hair loss and encourages new hair growth. It may be used with a topical corticosteroid.
Topical Corticosteroids:
Reduces hair follicle inflammation, which helps stimulate hair growth. Often used in combination with other therapies.
Topical Anthralin:
An anti-inflammatory agent, that can promote hair regrowth. It involves applying the product to bald patches daily, with a wash-off time of about an hour.
Topical Immunotherapy:
Creams that alter the immune response, causing a controlled allergic rash, which can stimulate hair growth.
Corticosteroid Injections:
Stimulates hair follicles to grow new hair. A steroid solution is injected into and around bald patches every six to eight weeks.
Finasteride:
Reduces dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles in men. It can help stop hair loss and promote regrowth.
Spironolactone :
Blocks the effects of androgens, which contribute to hair thinning and loss.
Vitamins and Supplements:
Vitamin deficiencies affect hair growth. We evaluate your dietary intake and test for deficiencies. They include:
Iron: Essential for healthy blood flow, which can impact hair growth.
Vitamin D: Plays a role in the hair follicle cycle and hair regeneration.
Zinc: Important for hair tissue growth and repair.
