Hair Loss Treatment

Welcome to Skin Wellness Advanced Skin Care Clinic: Understanding Hair Loss

Hair loss, scientifically known as alopecia, is a condition that can affect either specific areas or the entire body, resulting in temporary or permanent hair thinning or baldness. It can be triggered by various factors, including heredity, hormonal shifts, medical conditions, or aging, impacting both men and women.

Understanding Hair Loss Symptoms

Hair loss can manifest in diverse ways, signaling underlying causes. These include:

- Gradual Thinning: A common type of hair loss, especially in aging individuals, often characterized by thinning hair on the crown or a receding hairline in men. Women may notice a broadening part in their hair or a receding hairline.

- Circular or Patchy Bald Spots: Some may experience hair loss in circular patches on the scalp, beard, or eyebrows. Prior to hair loss, the skin might become itchy or painful.

- Sudden Loosening: Stress, either physical or emotional, can lead to sudden hair loosening, causing strands to come out in handfuls during combing or washing. However, this type of loss is temporary.

- Full-Body Hair Loss: Certain medical conditions or treatments like chemotherapy can lead to hair loss across the entire body, but the hair usually grows back.

- Scaling Patches: Indicative of ringworm, these patches can spread across the scalp and might exhibit broken hair, redness, swelling, and sometimes, oozing.

Common Causes of Hair Loss

Factors contributing to hair loss can vary and often include:

- Genetics (Heredity): The most prevalent cause is hereditary conditions like androgenic alopecia, affecting both men and women as they age.

- Hormonal Changes & Medical Conditions: Pregnancy, menopause, thyroid issues, and alopecia areata (an immune-related condition) can lead to hair loss.

- Medications & Supplements: Certain drugs used for cancer, arthritis, depression, and other conditions may have hair loss as a side effect.

- Stressful Events: Physical or emotional shocks can cause temporary hair thinning after several months.

- Hairstyles & Treatments: Excessive hairstyling or tight hairstyles (e.g., pigtails, cornrows) can result in traction alopecia. Additionally, hot oil treatments and permanents may contribute to hair loss.

How to treat hair loss

Treating hair loss can be confusing. Understanding the root causes in itself can seem overwhelming. At Skin Wellness, we take a skin-deep approach to treating hair loss. Treatments such as MMP and even micro-needling, have proven successful for many patients in addressing their hair loss issues.
