A person’s age is represented by their hair’s health and growth. It is a depressing factor when a person starts losing their hair at a young age. There are so many causes that could determine why the person is suffering from hair loss. One of the causes of hair loss is androgenetic alopecia, also known as hereditary alopecia. We at ASG Hair Transplant will provide you with certain oral treatments as well as surgical treatment options for curing or preventing this hair loss problem.
Androgenic alopecia is a pattern of baldness that can occur to anyone despite their gender or age. We have analyzed that it develops slowly from the age of puberty, and there are some symptoms that can help to indicate that you are suffering from androgenic alopecia. The symptoms differ in men and women. Like in men, there are :-
- Formation of a receding hairline.
- Forming a bald spot on the back of the head.
- Sometimes a crown formation on the back of the head or temples.
Some symptoms that occur, especially in women, are:-
- Partially highlighted hair loss
- Receding hairline
- Increase in thinning of hair at the crown
Androgenic Alopecia, or hereditary alopecia, is caused by DHT in men. This is a hormone that is present in the hair follicles of the temple and back of the head. Alopecia affects the hair follicles, making them small and weak, and because of that, hair falls. Some major causes of androgenic alopecia are:-
- Stress or Anxiety
- Obesity
- Certain medications
- Smoking
- High alcohol consumption
We have introduced some treatment options, like topical treatments, which stimulate the growth of the hair follicles by expanding the flow of blood to the scalp. But there are some side effects that may occur to you after this treatment:-
- Change in the texture of hair
- Redness or irritation in the scalp
- Chest pain
- Weight gain
- Unusual or accidental hair growth on other parts of the body
- Swelling or dizziness
We have other treatment or therapy options that may be beneficial for preventing the alopecia problem:-
- We have laser therapy, in which a light of low intensity penetrates the scalp, which repairs the growth tissue in that specific area. This treatment option has proven to be crucial for stimulating hair growth by increasing the blood flow and cellular metabolism of the hair follicles.
- In some cases, we use the method of microneedling, in which we insert fine needles into the skin, and the depth of these needles can vary from the goal of the treatment and condition of the skin. After this treatment, the skin usually becomes red and swollen, but it goes back to normal within a few days. This method has been proven to be beneficial in increasing the patient’s hair density.
- Our last therapy option is PRP Therapy, in which we take a small portion of your blood and after enriching it with essential nutrients, transfer it to the bald areas to stimulate hair growth.
