Powerful Hair Loss Treatments
Personalized Pharmaceutical Care
Enhancement of blood circulation in the scalp, suppression of hormones that cause hair loss, stimulation of hair growth
The medication is applied with approved and safe substances that have significant trichogenic properties. The treatment enhances blood circulation in the scalp, thus providing enhanced nutrition to weakened hair follicles and prolonging the hair growth phase. Hair loss is stabilized and hair density is restored. In addition, the medication can suppress the hormones responsible for hair loss and hair follicle shrinkage. The treatment plan is formulated based on the cause of hair loss and is adapted accordingly for men and women.
PRP enhanced with biotin
Enhanced nutrition of hair follicles, stimulation of natural healing mechanism, growth of healthy hair
It is a type of "biotherapy", as it takes advantage of the body's natural healing and renewal mechanism of cells to stimulate hair growth on the scalp. PRP is a modern therapeutic method, particularly suitable for those of you who do not wish to or cannot take pharmaceuticals, as it is an autologous mesotherapy in which only your own blood plasma is used. Blood plasma contains growth factors that strengthen hair follicles, contribute to better blood circulation and oxygenation of tissues and enhance the density, strength and health of your hair. The PRP mixture is enriched with biotin, the most important vitamin of the B group related to hair growth, for a more enhanced result.
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)
Medical tattoo to cover thinning
Creating very small dots of ink on your scalp, in a color carefully chosen to match your hair color, can give you the appearance of much fuller hair by reducing the color difference between your scalp and your hair. Some people use this technique to achieve a shaved look, while others use it to reduce areas where their hair is thinning. SMP is also great for covering scars from a previous FUT or FUE hair transplant, allowing you to have even shorter hair.
FUE Hair Transplant
The most effective treatment for thinning
Hair transplantation is the only method that can restore hair density in thinning areas. Modern techniques offer a perfect aesthetic result, which is characterized by its naturalness and density. The tools are now microscopic and do not leave marks, while at the same time ensuring the naturalness of the new hair. The result in hair transplantation always depends on the Scientific training and Aesthetic ability of the Surgeon. For this reason, at THE ANTIAGERS Regrow clinics the operation is always performed by a Plastic Surgeon.
Men's VS Women's Hair Loss
- Age of appearance: From the age of 25 to the age of 55, most men experience significant hair thinning. In women, hair thinning begins later.
- Rate of development: In women, hair thinning progresses much more slowly than in men, who experience much faster and more visible hair loss.
- Hair loss progression: Men begin to notice significant thinning of hair around the temples, as well as a receding frontal line. Hair thinning can even lead to baldness or the creation of small round bald patches. In contrast, women usually experience diffuse thinning of hair throughout the head, with the phenomenon being more pronounced on the top of the head, resulting in a wider parting.
- Baldness: Total baldness is observed only in 41% of women, while in contrast its frequency in men reaches 35% of men.
The life cycle of hair
To understand the onset of hair loss, it is important to know the normal life cycle of hair. Hair they grow about 1-1.5 centimeters each month, that is, about 15 centimeters per year. Each hair consists of two different structures, each of which plays its own role in hair growth. The first is the hair follicle, which is located under the surface of the skin. It is the living organism that produces new hair through a complex process of creating new cells. The second is the hair shaft, that is, the visible part of the hair outside the skin. Each shaft grows from the hair bulb, a part of the hair follicle that converts nutrients into keratin, the protein that is the building block of hair.
The life cycle of hair has four phases: a) anagen, which is the active growth phase of the hair, b) catagen, which is a transition phase from the growth phase to the resting phase, c) telogen or resting phase, and d) exogen, which is the hair loss phase. If this cycle is disrupted, then severe hair loss is likely to occur.
Anagen phase
The anagen phase is the beginning of the hair life cycle. In this phase, hair grows steadily. Under normal conditions, at any given time, about 85-90% of hair is in this phase. All body hair goes through the anagen phase, although the length of this phase varies depending on where on the body it is located. On average, hair on the scalp grows for 2-6 years, while hair on the legs stays in the anagen phase for about 2 months. This explains why hair grows much longer than hair on the face and body.
Catagenic phase
Once the anagen phase is complete, each hair follicle enters the catagen phase, or transitional phase. The hair shaft stops receiving blood from the follicle and therefore stops growing, while the follicle itself shrinks slightly. This phase lasts for a few weeks.
Telogen phase
During the telogen phase, the hair follicle rests. The hair shaft remains in a resting phase and does not grow. Approximately 10-15% of the hair on the scalp is in the telogen phase at any given time. Like the anagen phase, the telogen phase varies in duration depending on the area of hair growth. In most areas of the body, it lasts a few weeks, while in the hair shaft it lasts about 3-4 months.
Exogenous phase
This is the last phase of the hair life cycle. In this stage, the old hair is detached from the hair follicle and falls out, while at the same time a new hair is born to start its life cycle all over again. The exogenous phase lasts about 2-5 months. 50-100 hairs fall out daily, and hair loss can be facilitated by shampooing or brushing.
Causes of hair loss
There are many causes that can lead to hair thinning, such as heredity, a disease or dysfunction of a system, or even a vitamin deficiency. Hair loss can be temporary or long-term. You should not ignore it. On the contrary, immediate and timely treatment is recommended.
Heredity
Androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hair loss in men, and it also affects a large number of women. Specific genes make hair follicles vulnerable to male hormones, specifically dihydrotestosterone (DHT), causing them to shrink and therefore produce increasingly fine and weak hair. It is a myth that these genes are inherited only from the mother's side. If there are members on either side of the family who started losing their hair at a young age, then the chances of you also being faced with androgenetic alopecia increase.
Mental or physical trauma
Hair loss can be related to a severe emotional or physical trauma, which causes a shock to the hair's life cycle and prematurely leads it into a resting phase. In this case, hair begins to fall out about 3-6 months after the emotional shock, illness or injury. This form of hair loss is usually temporary and is restored after the body heals and recovers.
Diseases & medication
Certain medical conditions, such as hypothyroidism, anemia, polycystic ovary syndrome, and some autoimmune diseases, are associated with hair loss. The same is true for certain classes of medications, such as steroids, antidepressants, anticoagulants, beta-blockers, and chemotherapy drugs. In these cases, hair tends to grow back after treatment, but often not to the same extent or with the same quality of hair as before.
Too many vitamins
Vitamins can be beneficial for the proper functioning of the body, provided that you take the right vitamins in the right dosage. If you take excessive amounts of certain vitamins, then hair loss can occur. For example, it has been observed that taking excessive vitamin A supplements can cause hair loss. The good news is that this form of hair loss is reversible and once the excessive intake is stopped, hair growth is restored.
Very few vitamins
Certain vitamins and minerals, such as biotin, iron, zinc, B vitamins, as well as vitamins C and E, are essential for healthy hair. If you are running low on these, then you are likely depriving your hair of the nourishment it needs to grow.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy brings multiple changes to a woman's body. While some women enjoy thick, shiny hair during pregnancy, many experience increased hair loss due to the hormonal fluctuations and stress that accompany the nine-month period, as well as for some time after childbirth.
Female hormones
A change in female hormone levels can trigger the onset of hair loss in women. Such a change can be caused by menopause or taking birth control pills.
Excessive styling
Blow dryers, flat irons, dyes, perms and straightening products are damaging to hair. High temperatures and harsh chemicals are harmful to both the root and the hair shaft. Try to avoid excessive styling and let your hair air dry on its own.
Symptoms of hair loss
It has been found that hair loss becomes noticeable when 30% of the hair has already been lost. The earlier you recognize the symptoms of hair loss and seek treatment, the greater your chances of keeping your hair follicles active and healthy and enjoying thick hair for many years.
Increased hair loss
It's perfectly normal to lose about 50-100 hairs a day as part of your hair's normal growth cycle. That may sound like a lot, but when you consider that the average person's head has about 100,000 hairs, this loss is insignificant and goes unnoticed. However, if you start to notice a lot of hairs on your pillowcase, shower drain, floor, or on your clothes at the end of the day, then don't ignore them.
Hair thinning
Hair thinning is usually not easily noticeable because it doesn't happen overnight. Hair thins gradually, so you need to be extra observant to notice the loss of volume. However, if you notice more visible scalp skin between your hair, a wider parting, or less hair when you pull it back into a ponytail, these are all clear signs of thinning hair.
Front line retreat
Receding hairline is a telltale sign of androgenetic alopecia in men. The receding hairline is initially seen around the temples and along the frontal hairline, and progresses in a pattern that resembles the letter "M".
Change in hair quality
You may notice slight changes in your hair growth or styling. Especially in the case of androgenetic alopecia, the sensitivity of hair follicles to the action of a male hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT) causes them to shrink, resulting in finer, weaker hair. If you were used to combing thick, healthy, shiny hair until now, you may notice that it has become weaker, thinner, and more unruly.
Take a simple hair loss test
A simple test to determine if you are suffering from hair loss is to run your fingers through your hair, as if you were trying to detangle it. If this movement leaves more than 3 hairs in your hands, then it is very likely that you are suffering from hair loss. Seek medical treatment promptly!
