Common Hair Loss Causes
Understanding the hair growth cycle is essential in comprehending hair loss. The hair growth cycle consists of three stages: anagen (growth phase), catagen (transition phase), and telogen (resting phase). Each hair follicle on the scalp goes through this cycle independently, with each strand of hair having a different phase at any given time. Factors such as age, genetics, hormones, and medical conditions can influence the length and quality of each stage.
One of the most common types of hair loss is due to lifestyle. Not taking care of your body, eating the right foods or using the right products can lead to hair loss and thinning. Genetics and health conditions also play a significant role in hair loss and thinning. Other types of hair loss include patchy hair loss known as alopecia areata, hair loss due to hormonal imbalances, autoimmune conditions, and certain medical treatments like cancer treatments.
Hair loss treatments
Various hair loss treatments exist to address this common concern, offering a range of options depending on the underlying causes and individual preferences.
Hair transplants are a medical procedure used to address hair loss. In this process, a doctor takes hair from a part of your head that still has hair (usually the back) and moves it to a bald or thinning area. It’s like relocating tiny patches of skin with hair. These transplanted hairs then grow in their new location, helping to cover bald spots. The procedure is usually done in a doctor’s office and can take several hours. After the transplant, your scalp may be a bit sore, but most people can return to their normal activities quickly. Over time, the transplanted hair will grow and blend with your natural hair, creating a fuller, more natural look.
Other hair loss treatments include minimally invasive treatments that work to increase blood flow to the affected area as well as activate growth factors. Non-invasive treatments, including growth factors, serums, shampoos and medications, can be taken regularly to support with hormonal causes.
It’s essential to note that non-surgical treatments may require continuous use for ongoing benefits, and individuals can explore the best approach with their healthcare providers to address their specific needs and expectations.
