ALOPECIA AREATA SUCCESSFULLY TREATED

19.03.2009 in HAIR LOSS [ PHOTOS ] TREATED

Alopecia Areata is an extremely common condition and will affect 1% to 2% of the population at some point in their lives.  Most sufferers are children and young adults (below 40 years old), though it can affect people of all ages.  The hair loss is sudden and manifests itself in small, smooth-skinned patches that are likely to gradually widen with time.  It can also affect the sufferer’s nails, giving them a pitted, ridged or brittle appearance.  The exact cause is still unknown, although current theories include an auto-immune disease, stress or suggest a genetic basis.

We recommended an intensive 12-month treatment course of:

Vitastim 15% Hair Regrowth Stimulant and Hair Loss Stabiliser
This stimulant is recommended to help stabilise hair loss and strengthen existing hair.  It is a natural hop-based solution that works as a vasodilator to increase blood circulation in the scalp and so enable healthy hair growth.  It also contains a multi-vitamin complex to help catalyse the process of conversion of amino acids into keratin hair cells and accelerate growth and diameter of the hair from the dermal papilla.

Follicle Builder 15% Hair Strengthener
This stimulant is formulated to increase cell metabolism and nutrient concentration at the hair root to increase hair cell production.  It also has the effect of extending the hair growth cycle, improving overall hair density.

Health-Related Hair Loss

19.03.2009 in HAIR LOSS FACTS

While hair loss is more harmful to the psyche than anything else, some of the causes of baldness may represent serious health problems. That’s why it’s important to talk about hair loss with a Trichologist.

One problem is alopecia areata. It’s an autoimmune disease of unknown cause in which inflammatory cells attack the bulbs of the follicles under the scalp, leaving hairless patches. In more serious cases, hair may fall out from the entire head–eyebrows and beard included–and the entire body. Many times, though, the hair returns spontaneously.

Childbirth, severe malnutrition, chemotherapy, thyroid problems, and a form of lupus can also cause hair loss.

Something as simple as pigtails or cornrows, if worn too long, can cause hair loss, too, because of the stress they cause to the hair shaft.

The medical opinion concerning the role of emotional stress in balding is mixed. If stress does play a role, however, it’s only at times of extreme emotional trauma.

MALE HAIR LOSS

19.03.2009 in HAIR LOSS [ PHOTOS ] TREATED, MALE HAIR LOSS

Androgenetic alopecia has a characteristic pattern of hair loss; it begins with a slight recession at the front hairline and is followed by thinning on the crown of the head.  This hair loss results from a complex chemical reaction when the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase converts the testosterone in the system into DHT or dihydrotestosterone.  The hair follicles are genetically predisposed to be oversensitive to the DHT and become smaller and smaller with time, leading to the eventual hair loss.

The gradual or more sudden loss of hair can be a very emotional experience for any man. The effects of hair loss can cause anxiety and depression. This is compounded by feelings of helplessness if there is no solution available.

Here is a solution:

How to cope with women's hair loss

17.03.2009 in FEMALE HAIR LOSS

miriam-blueThe Daily Mirror’s expert on health, sex, relationships and family and author of more than 50 books.

Sigourney Weaver bravely had her head shaved for Alien 3, Demi Moore went bald for GI Jane and Natalie Portman dared to bare in V For Vendetta – but very few women would choose to lose their hair.

Men take it more in their stride. Harry Hill makes jokes about his baldness and actors Bruce Willis and Steve McFadden – Phil Mitchell in EastEnders – use it to enhance their tough-guy image.

But, for women, hair loss can be devastating. As a dermatologist, I saw hundreds of women who were losing their hair for all sorts of reasons from hormones to stress.

Sometimes it was curable, sometimes not. Then it became something they lived with and struggled to hide every day.

Some women, like TV presenter Gail Porter, have been determined to cope with it openly.

She lost her blonde hair as a result of the condition alopecia areata and explained: “Just because you lose your hair doesn’t mean to say that life is awful… It was easier than I thought to deal with – I thought it’s just another thing, get on with it, it’s just another part of the journey.”

Serious hair loss affects an estimated eight million women in UK, with many more suffering from more minor hair thinning.

The Cut-Inn Hair and Beauty salon in Lee Chapel South, did the cut for free and so far, Adam has raised £228 for the BBC fundraising telethon.

He said: “I just did it for a bit of fun and a bit of a laugh, and seeing as it’s coming up to Comic Relief time, I thought why not?

“I’m kind of missing the hair and it still feels a bit breezy, but it’s worth it, as it’s a good cause.”
