Hair Loss Treatment
GLOSSARY
|
|
1- Hair |
Hair follicle: A sac from which a hair grows and into which the sebaceous (oil) glands open. The follicle is lined by cells derived from the epidermal (outside) layer of the skin. Each follicle normally goes through a five-year cycle of growth and rest, with about 90% of the follicles growing hair at any one time, averaging about six inches (15 cm) of growth per year. Derived from the Latin word follis, for bag.
The human hair follicle is a dynamic structure that generates hair through a complex and exquisitely regulated cycle of growth and remodelling governed by numerous genes

2- Hair follicle |
A hair follicle is part of the skin that grows hair by packing old cells together. Attached to the follicle is a sebaceous gland, a tiny sebum-producing gland found everywhere except on the palms, lips and soles of the feet. The thicker density of hair, the more sebaceous glands are found.
Also attached to the follicle is a tiny bundle of muscle fiber called the arrector pili that is responsible for causing the follicle lissis to become more perpendicular to the surface of the skin, and causing the follicle to protrude slightly above the surrounding skin (piloerection). This process results in goose bumps (or goose flesh). Stem cells are located at the junction of the arrector and the follicle, and are principally responsible for the ongoing hair production during a process known as the Anagen stage. The average growth rate of healthy hair follicles on the scalp is 400 µm per day

3- Hair loss |
Hair loss is the thinning of hair on the scalp. The medical term for hair loss is alopecia. Alopecia can be temporary or permanent. The most common form of hair loss occurs gradually and is referred to as "androgenetic alopecia," meaning that a combination of hormones (androgens are male hormones) and heredity (genetics) is needed to develop the condition. Other types of hair loss include alopecia areata (patches of baldness that usually grow back), telogen effluvium (rapid shedding after childbirth, fever, or suddenweight loss); and traction alopecia (thinning from tight braids or ponytails).
Hair loss normally occurs gradually with age in both men and women, but is typicallmore more pronounced in men.

Types of Hair Loss
The most common form of hair loss is Androgenic Alopecia, or male pattern baldness. Other types of hair loss include:
-Traumatic Alopecia - results from hair being torn out of the scalp;
-Drug-induced Alopecia - hair loss caused by the administration of a given medication;
-Alopecia Areata - or patchy hair loss, is thought to occur from an immunological condition and is usually reversible. |

4- Hair Loss Treatment |
"Hair loss QUIROZ Super Formula” is the mixture of three plants, a mineral and liquor, easy to obtain in any part of the world. It is 100% natural. For me this is the best hair loss treatment.
This natural formula has nothing to do with synthetic products such as finasteride or minodixil. This is not a shampoo hair loss but a hair loss remedy to stopp and prevent hair loss. |

5- Alopecia areata |
Alopecia areata is a hair-loss condition which usually affects the scalp. It can, however, sometimes affect other areas of the body. Hair loss tends to be rather rapid and often involves one side of the head more than the other.
Alopecia areata affects both males and females. This type of hair loss is different than male-pattern baldness, an inherited condition.

6- hair loss treatment |
According to The Washington Post, American hair loss suffers spend more than 3.5 billion dollars a year in an attempt to treat their hair loss. Unfortunately 99% of all products being marketed in the less than ethical hair loss treatment industry are completely ineffective for the majority of those who use them.
The American Hair Loss Association recognizes that hair loss is an extremely emotionally distressing disease that can make those afflicted particularly vulnerable. For this reason, The AHLA recommends against purchasing any hair loss product that is not approved by the FDA or recommended by The American Hair Loss Association.
Alopecia Totalis:
A condition that results in no hair on the scalp. It may begin as Alopecia Areata or some other cause.
Alopecia Universalis:
A condition that results in no hair on any part of the body, this includes eyelashes, eyebrows, and scalp hair. It may develop as alopecia areata or result from another cause
Male Pattern Baldness (MPB):
The most common type of hair loss that is caused by hormones, genes and age, and is usually progressive in nature. It affects the central and frontal area of the scalp and often results in a pronounced U-Shape configuration
Progesterone:
Female sex hormone that induces secretory changes in the lining of the uterus essential for successful implantation of a fertilized egg. Synthetic compounds with progesterone like activity have been developed that, along with estrogen , are used in oral contraceptives.
Rogaine:
The brand name for minoxidil topical hair growth solution, available over the counter in 2% solution and 5% extra strength solution.
Saw Palmetto:
A natural herb that has been shown to be an effective antiandrogen
Scalp Reduction:
Surgical procedure in which an ellipse of bald scalp is removed from a small midline bald spot and the hair-bearing scalp between the ears is pulled together and sutured closed. This reduces the bald area.
Telogen Loss:
Loss of hair during resting phase of hair or "natural" loss
Temporal Recession:
Hair loss in the temple region

7- Baldness |
Baldness, thinning or loss of hair as a result of illness, functional disorder, or hereditary disposition; also known as alopecia. Male pattern baldness, a genetic trait, is the most common cause of baldness among white males. It is carried by females, but they are rarely susceptible inasmuch as it develops under the influence of testosterone, a male sex hormone; women, however, may experience an overall thinning of the hair. Hair loss begins at the forehead and crown and is slowly progressive. Male pattern baldness may be cosmetically disguised by hair-follicle transplants. Drug treatments with minoxidil (Rogaine) or finasteride (Propecia) have been used with limited effectiveness

8- Hair thinning |
Thinning hair is very common. More than 60 million Americans suffer from this condition. Although most common among men, hair loss in women is also widely known. Statistics show, more than half of men over the age of 50 suffer from hair loss or baldness. Though the percentage of baldness in women is far smaller, the emotional effects it brings are great.

9- Hair vitamins |
The idea of a vitamin for hair may sound strange at first, but the fact is hair vitamins can do more to promote healthy hair growth than any shampoo or conditioner. Your diet profoundly effects the health of not only internal systems and organs, but external ones including the hair, skin, and fingernails. Hair vitamins can be helpful in addressing a variety of hair concerns from hair that grows too slowly to hair that is thinning. Source :

10- Hair transplant |
Hair transplantation involves relocating (transplanting) bald resistant hair follicles from the back and sides of the head (the donor areas) to a person’s bald or thinning areas. The transplanted hair follicles will typically grow hair for a lifetime because they are genetically resistant to going bald. In recent years hair transplantation techniques have evolved from using large plugs and mini grafts to exclusively using large numbers of small grafts that contain from between 1 to 4 hairs.

11- Hair replacement |
If you and your doctor have determined that hair transplants are the best option for you, you can feel comfortable knowing that board-certified plastic surgeons have been successfully performing this type of procedure for more than thirty years.
It's important to understand that all hair replacement techniques use your existing hair. The goal of surgery is to find the most efficient uses for existing hair.
Transplant techniques, such as punch grafts, mini-grafts, micro-grafts, slit grafts,
and strip grafts are generally performed on patients who desire a more modest change in hair fullness. Flaps, tissue-expansion and scalp-reduction are procedures that are usually more appropriate for patients who desire a more dramatic change.
Remember, there are limits to what can be accomplished. An individual with very little hair might not be advised to undergo
hair replacement surgery.

12- Hair regrowth |
Hair loss seems inevitable with age. By 70 years of age, approximately 80% of Caucasian men have some balding and nearly 40% of Caucasian women have noticeably thinning hair. For many, visible hair loss begins years earlier. The cause of this hair loss is often hereditary. That is, we inherit genes from our parents that cause hair loss. When hereditary hair loss occurs, it is possible to treat it. Treatment can give men and women of all ethnic backgrounds a more youthful appearance.
Before recommending a hair loss treatment, a dermatologist will first diagnose the cause of the hair loss. Once the cause is known, treatment can be discussed. |

13- Surgical Procedures for Hair Restoration |
Hair transplantation
Skin on the scalp that has good hair growth is removed and transplanted to areas of the scalp that need hair.
Scalp reduction
Bald scalp is surgically removed and hair-bearing scalp is brought closer together to reduce balding. Scalp reduction surgery can be performed alone or in conjunction with a hair transplant.
Scalp expansion
Devices are inserted under the scalp for about 3 to 4 weeks to stretch the skin. This procedure may be performed before a scalp reduction to make the scalp more lax. It also can be performed solely to stretch hair-bearing areas, which reduces balding.
Scalp flaps
A hair-bearing segment of scalp is surgically moved and placed where hair is needed.

14- hair loss treatments |
Baldness, whether permanent or temporary, can't be cured. But hair loss treatments are available to help promote hair growth or hide hair loss. For some types of alopecia, hair may resume growth without any treatment.
Medication
The effectiveness of medications used to treat alopecia depends on the cause of hair loss, extent of the loss and individual response. Generally, treatment is less effective for more extensive cases of hair loss.
The types of drugs for treatment of alopecia that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration include: Minoxidil (Rogaine).. Finasteride (Propecia). Finasteride is not approved for use by women. Corticosteroids. Anthralin (Dritho-Scalp).
Surgery
Hair transplants and scalp reduction surgery are available to treat androgenetic alopecia when more conservative measures have failed.

15- Hairloss |
Your hair loss may have started with a few extra hairs in the sink or in your comb. But now you can't look in the mirror without seeing more of your scalp.
Baldness typically refers to excessive hair loss from your scalp and can be the result of heredity, certain medications or an underlying medical condition. Anyone men, women and children — can experience hair loss.
Some people prefer to let their baldness run its course untreated and unhidden. Others may cover it up with hairstyles, makeup, hats or scarves. And still others choose one of the medications and surgical procedures that are available to treat hair loss. Before pursuing any of these treatment options, talk with your doctor about the cause of and best possible treatments for your hair loss.

16- Women hair loss |
Today more women than ever are experiencing hair loss -- and the causes may be quite different that what causes balding in men. From Lady Godiva to the Breck Girl, Farah Fawcett to Jennifer Aniston, there is no question that, at least for women, hair is often a defining point in personal style. That's one reason why so many women panic at even the thought of losing a few hairs down the drain with each shampoo.
Those fears are not unfounded, as each year more women are forced to come to grips with the possibility of serious hair loss. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, it's a growing problem, affecting some 30 million women in the United States -- with some forms of loss occurring at earlier ages, and being seen in increasing numbers.
Often these women are also suffering with polycystic ovary syndrome, [a common hormonal problem in women], and sometimes their hair loss is the only obvious sign," says Ricardo Azziz, MD, director of the Center for Androgen-Related Disorders at the Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
The No. 1 rule of treating hair loss in women is getting the correct diagnosisif there
is an underlying physical problem it has to be corrected first," says Reed

17- Female hair loss |
Mistakenly thought to be a strictly male disease, women actually make up forty percent of American hair loss sufferers. Hair loss in women can be absolutely devastating for the sufferer's self image and emotional well being The American Hair Loss Association recognizes that hair loss is women is a serious life altering condition that can no longer be ignored by the medical community and society as a whole.
Hair loss can be temporary or long lasting. Temporary hair loss can be easy to fix when its cause is identified and dealt with or difficult when it is not immediately clear what the cause is. Hair loss that could have been merely temporary may become long lasting as a result of an incorrect diagnosis. The potential for such misdiagnoses is perhaps the most frustrating aspect of hair loss for women.

18- Hair loss cause |
Your hair goes through a cycle of growth and rest. The course of each cycle varies by individual. But in general, the growth phase of scalp hair, known as anagen, typically lasts two to three years. During this time, your hair grows about 1 centimeter (just less than 1/2 inch) a month. The resting phase is called telogen. This phase typically lasts three to four months. At the end of the resting phase, the hair strand falls out and a new one begins to grow in its place. Once a hair is shed, the growth stage begins again.
Most people normally shed 50 to 100 hairs a day. But with about 100,000 hairs in the scalp, this amount of hair loss shouldn't cause noticeable thinning of the scalp hair.
Gradual thinning is a normal part of aging. However, hair loss may lead to baldness when the rate of shedding exceeds the rate of regrowth, when new hair is thinner than the hair shed or when hair comes out in patches |

19- Causes of specific types of hair loss |
Pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia).
In male- and female-pattern baldness, the time of growth shortens, and the hairs are not as thick or sturdy. With each growth cycle, the hairs become rooted more superficially and more easily fall out. Heredity likely plays a key role. A history of androgenetic alopecia on either
side of your family increases your risk of balding. Heredity also affects the age at which you begin to lose hair and the developmental speed, pattern and extent of
your baldness.
Cicatricial (scarring) alopecia.
This type of permanent hair loss occurs when inflammation damages and scars the hair follicle. This prevents new hair from growing. This condition can be seen in several skin conditions, including lupus erythematosus or lichen planus. It's not known what triggers or causes this inflammation.
Alopecia areata.
This is classified as an autoimmune disease, but the cause is unknown. People who develop alopecia areata are generally in good health. A few people may have other autoimmune disorders including thyroid disease. Some scientists believe that some people are genetically predisposed to develop alopecia areata and that a trigger, such as a virus or something else in the environment, sets off the condition. A family history of alopecia areata makes you more likely to develop it. With alopecia areata, your hair generally grows back, but you may lose and regrow your hair a number of times.
Telogen effluvium.
This type of hair loss is usually due to a change in your normal hair cycle. It may occur when some type of shock to your system — emotional or physical — causes hair roots to be pushed prematurely into the resting state. The affected growing hairs from these hair roots fall out. In a month or two, the hair follicles become active again and new hair starts to grow. Telogen effluvium may follow emotional distress, such as a death in the family, or after a physiological stress, such as a high fever, sudden or excessive weight loss, nutritional deficiencies, surgery, or metabolic disturbances. Hair typically grows back once the condition that caused it corrects itself, but it usually take months.
Traction alopecia.
Excessive hairstyling or hairstyles that pull your hair too tightly cause traction alopecia. If the pulling is stopped before there's scarring of
your scalp and permanent damage to the root, hair usually grows back normally.
Other causes of hair loss
Poor nutrition.
Having inadequate protein or iron in your diet or poor nourishment in other ways can cause you to experience hair loss. Fad diets, crash diets and certain illnesses, such as eating disorders, can cause poor nutrition.
Medications.
Certain drugs used to treat gout, arthritis, depression, heart problems and high blood pressure may cause hair loss in some people. Taking birth control pills also may result in hair loss for some women.
Disease.
Diabetes and lupus can cause hair loss.
Medical treatments.
Undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy may cause you to develop alopecia. Under these conditions, healthy, growing (anagen) hairs can be affected. After your treatment ends, your hair typically begins to regrow.
Hormonal changes.
Hormonal changes and imbalances can cause temporary hair loss. This could be due to pregnancy, having a baby, discontinuing birth control pills, beginning menopause, or an overactive or underactive thyroid gland. The hair loss may be delayed by three months following a hormonal change, and it'll take another three months for new hair to grow back. During pregnancy, it's normal to have thicker, more luxuriant hair. It's also common to lose more hair than normal about three months after delivery. If a hormonal imbalance is associated with an overproduction of testosterone, there may be a thinning of hair over the crown of
the scalp. Correcting hormonal imbalances may stop hair loss.
Hair Loss Treatments.
Chemicals used for dying, tinting, bleaching, straightening or permanent waves can cause hair to become damaged and break off if they are overused or used incorrectly. Overstyling and excessive brushing also can cause hair to fall out if the hair shaft becomes damaged.
Scalp infection.
Infections, such as ringworm, can invade the hair and skin of your scalp, leading to hair loss. Once infections are treated, hair generally grows back. Ringworm, a fungal infection, can usually be treated with a topical or oral antifungal medication.
Trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder).
Trichotillomania is a type of mental illness in which people have an irresistible urge to pull out their hair, whether it's from their scalp, their eyebrows or other areas of their body. Hair pulling from the scalp often leaves them with patchy bald spots on their head, which they may go to great lengths to disguise. Causes of trichotillomania are still being researched, and no specific cause has yet been found.

20- Losing hair |
Hair may start to disappear from the temples and the crown of the head at any time. For a few men this process starts as early as the later teenage years, but for most it happens in their late 20s and early 30s. A little thinning of the hair may be noticeable first, followed by wider hair loss allowing more of the scalp to become visible. Some men aren't troubled by this process at all. Others, however, suffer great emotional distress associated with a lack of self-confidence and
sometimes depression

22- Causes hair loss |
A number of things can cause excessive hair loss. For example, about 3 or 4 months after an illness or a major surgery, you may suddenly lose a large amount of hair. This hair loss is related to the stress of the illness and is temporary.
Hormonal problems may cause hair loss. If your thyroid gland is overactive or underactive, your hair may fall out. This hair loss usually can be helped by treatment thyroid disease. Hair loss may occur if male or female hormones, known as androgens and estrogens, are out of balance.
Many women notice hair loss about 3 months after they've had a baby. This loss is also related to hormones. Some medicines can cause hair loss. This type of hair loss improves when you stop taking the medicine. Medicines that can cause hair loss include blood thinners (also called anticoagulants), medicines used for gout, medicines used in chemotherapy to treat cancer, vitamin A (if too much is taken), birth control pills and antidepressants.
Certain infections can cause hair loss. Fungal infections of the scalp can cause hair
loss in children. The infection is easily treated with antifungal medicines.
Finally, hair loss may occur as part of an underlying disease, such as lupus or diabetes. Source : http://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/home/men/general/081.html |

24- Thicker hair |
Thick hair indicates healthy hair. It is also a good indicator of the general well being of the whole person. Hair may lose its thickness due to several conditions like hair loss, splitting, brittleness, etc. All these conditions indicate unhealthy hair which is not just unpleasant to look at but also detrimental to a person’s
Health in the long run
Just like the rest of the body, hair’s health is also determined by the kind of food we take. The body takes the required nutrients from the food we consume hence it is very important that we take a diet that is rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins. Vitamins help the body in effective metabolism to break the fats and carbohydrates into energy and to supply this energy to the whole body. When the body does not receive the essential nutrients, or when it fails to absorb the nutrients from the food, the effect is first shown on the skin, hair and
Fingrnails.
The necessary vitamins that aid in promoting thick hair are: vitamin A (produces healthy sebum in the scalp), vitamin C (antioxidant), vitamin E (improves scalp circulation), Biotin (produces Keratin), Inositol (keeps hair follicles healthy), Niacin (promotes scalp circulation) and pantothenic acid, Para-Aminobenzoic Acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 that prevent graying and hair loss.

What causes thinning hair women often want to know?
As some women grow older, new hairs may not grow. Hair usually thins gradually
all over the head. This is called female pattern baldness, and is different than male pattern baldness. It can occur in younger women, but often begins to occur during menopause.
Age is not the only reason for hair thinning, however. Causes thinning hair women may experience include:
Childbirthm,Surgery, Poor diet,Thyroid disease,Certain medications.
Regardless of the causes thinning hair women experience, they often feel very self-conscious about their appearance. Prevention is one of many hair thinning solutions. Because there are many causes thinning hair women may experience, there are a number of prevention tips to consider.

37- Hair loss women organin |
Thanks to a relatively new product called Organin, female hair loss can be easily concealed. Organin is formulated to help men and women with thinning and balding hair.
One of the newest products on the market is Organin. Formulated to diminish the appearance of thinning hair, it has a consistency unlike many other similar products. While some hair growth and thickening products are thick and creamy, Organin is a fine, almost powdery substance made of natural keratin fibers that feel light to the touch. Despite its airy texture, it is said to create the appearance of thicker, fuller hair immediately after application.
According to the company, it works by essentially binding itself to any existing hairs on the head and forming a full layer of "hair" above the scalp. This creates the illusion of genuine hair. In order to appear completely natural, the product does not have a glossy or shiny element after application. It is also non-toxic and dermatologist-tested. The product is temporary and washes out with each shampoo

Many hair loss products claim to be able to restore hair through the use of drugs, herbal lotions or other exotic applications like lights, lasers or electrical fields. While many of these products have been around for years, there is little evidence that they can restore hair.
How are they allowed to make such claims? These products often use small amounts of generic drugs found in Propecia and Rogaine (finasteride and minoxidil) which allows them to make the claim to stop hair loss or they imply hair growth with 'cosmetic' claims.
Misleading Marketing
Some hair loss products lead you to believe that they can stop hair loss by parsing their words. They can't come out and claim to regrow hair or stop hair loss, so they advertise vague claims like "thicker, fuller hair". This is a 'cosmetic' claim that any product can make. Be advised that cosmetic claims cannot restore hair or grow hair because they are not proven to do so.
False Testimonials
With the anonymous nature of Internet postings, people posing as users will mislead others with false testimonials. Often, positive reviews are produced by people compensated to post these messages. Since there is no real regulation of online postings, consumers are advised to take testimonials with skepticism

40- Hair loss in cats |
Hair loss in cats is often a frightening sight for pet owners who immediately rush
their companion to the veterinarian for a diagnosis. When it comes to the domestic cat, there are many conditions and diseases that can create a hair loss problem.
Some instances are quite normal, while other hair loss in cats can indicate an illness that requires medical attention

41- Dog hair loss |
The absence of hair on some dogs is scientifically called alopecia and is normal in those breeds. However, in common breed, bald spots are, of course, pathological.
They can appear due to a strong infestation of parasites eczema or thallium intoxication (thallium: A soft gray malleable metallic element that resembles tin but discolors on exposure to air; it is highly toxic and is used in rodent and insect poisons; occurs in zinc blende and some iron ores). The symmetric fall of hair in the loin or flanks – not rare in female dogs – indicates a strong hormonal alteration. Treatment is difficult. In the worst cases, the remedy is simply castration.

42- Saw Palmetto |
Common Names—saw palmetto, American dwarf palm tree, cabbage palm
What It Is Used For
Saw palmetto is used mainly for urinary symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate gland (also called benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH).
Saw palmetto is also used for other conditions, including chronic pelvic pain, bladder disorders, decreased sex drive, hair loss treatment, and hormone imbalances.
What the Science Says
Several small studies suggest that saw palmetto may be effective for treating BPH symptoms.
In 2006, a large study of 225 men with moderate-to-severe BPH found no improvement with 320 mg saw palmetto daily for 1 year versus placebo. NCCAM cofunded the study with the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
There is not enough scientific evidence to support the use of saw palmetto for reducing the size of an enlarged prostate or for any other conditions.
Saw palmetto does not appear to affect readings of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. PSA is protein produced by cells in the prostate. The PSA test is used to screen for prostate cancer and to monitor patients who have had prostate cancer.

43- Hair loss men |
The male pattern baldness (MPB) form of androgenetic alopecia (there is also a female pattern baldness) accounts for more than 95% of hair loss in men. By age 35, two-thirds of American men will have some degree of appreciable hair loss and by age 50 approximately 85% of men have significantly thinning hair. About 25% of men who suffer from male pattern baldness begin the painful process before they reach 21.
Contrary to societal belief, most men who suffer from male pattern baldness are extremely unhappy with their situation and would do anything to change it. Hair loss affects every aspect of their life. It affects interpersonal relationships as well as their professional life. It is not uncommon for men to change their career paths because of hair loss.
The American Hair Loss Association recognizes how devastating male pattern baldness can be for men of all ages and has created resources for men to get completely objective answers to their hair loss questions.
We strongly advise against researching your options through the Yellow Pages or commercial websites. Hundreds of products and services are sold to the vulnerable hair loss consumer, but currently only two FDA-approved products have been clinically proven to stop or prevent hair loss. Also, there are only a handful of surgeons performing surgical hair restoration to state-of-the-art standards.

45- Hair loss cure |
Today, some hair loss treatments can actually stop or even reverse hair loss. Hair transplant surgery, when done right, can now produce results that are so natural that even hair stylists cannot detect them.
But it is critical to choose the right hair loss treatment and hair restoration physician, since the skill, talent, and experience of physicians vary widely, as do their results.
In pursuit of a baldness cure, balding men and women are often lured by fancy promotional propaganda on television, the radio, and the internet. But many
hair loss products often make promises that are difficult if not impossible to deliver. http://www.hairlosslearningcenter.org/ |
