Hair Loss

What is Hair Loss?

Have you noticed more hair falling in the shower, or on your pillow when you wake up?

Hair loss is a common concern affecting both men and women, and can lead to a drop in confidence. While it can be a natural part of aging, understanding the underlying reasons and exploring treatment options can empower you to address the issue early.

What are the causes of hair loss?

Genetics: Androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as “male/female pattern hair loss”, is the most prevalent cause of hair loss. This is strongly hereditary.
Hormonal imbalances: Fluctuations in reproductive hormones and thyroid hormones can disrupt the hair growth cycle.
Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions & medications can cause hair loss.
Stress: Acute and chronic stress can disrupt the hair growth cycle.
Nutritional deficiencies: Deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals like iron and vitamin D can impact hair growth.
Hairstyles: Tight hairstyles can lead to hair loss at that area

What are the Common Types of Hair Loss?

Androgenetic Alopecia

Also known as “male pattern hair loss” or “female pattern hair loss, this hereditary condition causes a gradual recession of the hairline in men and thinning hair on the scalp in women.

Telogen Effluvium

This temporary hair loss is often triggered by stress, illness, childbirth, or significant weight loss.

Alopecia Areata

This autoimmune disease causes patchy hair loss on the scalp and sometimes other areas of the body.

Traction Alopecia

This is due to constant pressure on the hair follicles due to tightly bound hairstyles (tight buns and ponytails).

How do I prevent hair loss?

Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Balanced diet, regular exercise, and managing stress levels promote overall well-being and can indirectly benefit hair health.
Hair-healthy diet: Ensure adequate intake of essential vitamins and minerals for optimal hair growth.
Gentle hair care: Avoid tight hairstyles, harsh chemicals, and excessive heat styling to minimize hair damage.

Treating Hair Loss

Many individuals do not treat hair loss until it is too late. This is the wrong mindset, as treating it when it’s early yields a higher rate of success.

There are many treatment options available, including:

Medications: Topical Minoxidil and Oral Finasteride are common medications clinically proven to promote hair growth.
Supplements: Nourkrin is a supplement containing proteoglycans that has been proven to maintain a normal hair-growth cycle, and is particularly useful in Telogen Effluvium.
Non-invasive treatments: Low level light therapy (LLLT) and microneedling are ways to improve mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia.
Hair transplantation: This is a surgery and may need to be considered for severe hair loss.

Astria’s Hair Regrowth Protocol

Our hair regrowth protocol combines two evidence-based treatments for hair loss – microneedling RF (Morpheus8), as well as exosomes.

Morpheus8 itself increases blood flow to the scalp, increasing the nutrients delivered and waking up dormant hair follicles. Exosomes are tiny vesicles, extracted from stem cells, that contain proteins and growth factors.

These two treatments work extremely well in synergy!
