Common Causes of Hair Loss
Genetics: Genetic predisposition is the most prevalent cause of hair loss. Androgenetic alopecia, or male/female-patterned baldness, is an inherited condition that leads to gradual hair thinning, particularly at the crown and temples in men and the part line in women.
Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations can significantly impact hair growth. Conditions such as pregnancy, menopause, and thyroid disorders can trigger hair shedding. For men, an imbalance in testosterone levels can accelerate hair loss.
Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions may also contribute to hair loss. Alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder, causes sudden hair loss in small patches. Scalp infections, such as ringworm, can also result in hair shedding. Additionally, certain medications can lead to temporary or permanent hair loss.
Types of Hair Loss
Gradual Thinning: This hair loss occurs over time and is often related to aging or genetics. Hair becomes progressively thinner, and the scalp may become more visible.
Sudden Hair Shedding: Also known as telogen effluvium, this hair loss can be triggered by stress, illness, or major life changes. It typically involves a sudden, noticeable increase in hair shedding, but it is often temporary.
Patchy Hair Loss: Characterized by bald spots or patches, this hair loss is commonly associated with alopecia areata. The hair loss can be unpredictable, with hair regrowth sometimes occurring spontaneously.
Hair Loss Treatment Options
Alma TED: Alma TED is an innovative, non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound waves and air pressure to enhance hair growth. This procedure helps increase blood flow and delivers active ingredients to the scalp, promoting hair regeneration.
NeoGraft: Neograft is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique that harvests hair follicles from a donor area and transplants them to thinning or balding areas. This method ensures natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
Injection Therapy: This treatment draws the patient’s blood and separates plasma rich in growth factors and then injects it into the scalp. This process stimulates hair follicles and encourages new hair growth. Injection therapy is often used in conjunction with other treatments to enhance results.
