Hair regrowth
Natural hair regrowth: do the treatments work? Definition of alopecia
Hair loss has always been an adult problem, and not a minor one. With the pass of time many doctors and dermatologists tried to find a “cure” or at least and effective treatment that keep men (since they are who suffer from this disturbance more) and women their hair back. But hair regrowth is not as easy as many individuals think, this treatment requires much effort and, sometimes, really expensive products. Alopecia is the most well known term for the hair loss problem, which is also known as alopecia areata and patchy baldness; but these are the most ordinary terms for hair loss, sometimes in case of having one of these disturbances and not treated in the appropriate way by a hair regrowth treatment, we can even lose all of it. Although many are the ones who consider a hair problem a men problem, we must say that last research results showed this tendency in women as well; but the difference here is that women need a minor hair regrowth treatment. |
Hair loss can be, many times, frightening and severe, although is not considered a threat or is not physically painful. Hair loss in men and women is capable of causing emotional suffering which leads to psychological stress. In a recent survey made by a hair institute in United States, data showed that many women (50%) who lost their hair didn’t feel such a “women personality” anymore; that’s why they were into hair regrowth programs, while 30% of them said that this alopecia had straight influence in their marriages. The last 20%, stated that hair loss made them feel uncomfortable in front of the eyes of many human beings, specially those young ladies who have to attend to classes at University, but they also affirmed it was only a period and it was nothing that a hair regrowth treatment couldn’t solve. |

However, many people would say that these women are overreacting; we don’t have to underestimate hair loss, many patients who suffer from alopecia experience sever depression, some of them even think of suicide. Perhaps for all those who are not used to give importance to their image and the hair regrowth treatments, alopecia is just another ordinary disease, but for those who are used to have long and strong hair it could affect their lives forever. Some individuals focus their personality and self confidence on their main attribute, and for some, the main attribute is the hair that’s why loosing it would lead them to depression. There are many types of alopecia and symptoms which tell us we need a hair regrowth treatment; patchy baldness may affect men, women and children; but this type of illness has its start at puberty with a tiny circumscribed patch of baldness. Later, some other patches appear making their selves bigger and tending to join the other existent patch; when we talk about alopecia areata we must affirm that it spreads very quickly that’s why we need an appointment with our dermatologist urgently. |
The function of this disease is to affect the hair follicles by slowing down the production, when this happens, our hair grows in a very thin way, and in extreme cases almost no hair is left. In that case is where we need a hair regrowth treatment. Hair regrowth consists of giving back life to all those follicles which remain active in our head skin re establishing the hair production; we can achieve this by using the accurate treatment that must be given by an expert, in hair loss clinics. After following a hair regrowth treatment most of people who catch this disease in time may recover the total of hair, meanwhile some others, might present a small patch since the treatment wasn’t 100% effective. We also must state that these treatments are not life time treatments, after attending to some programmed sessions, your hair should grow spontaneously and they would never suffer another hair loss episode. If our case of alopecia is not as severe as we think, there are some medicines that could help us to recover our hair, but before taking one of them we should attend to our dermatologist or doctor to advise us what to take. Most of prescribed drugs for hair regrowth are involve with skin conditions, and some others are psychiatric drugs, like anti- depressants, they will depend on the patient problem. We should start taking the drugs for a period of time, after a while we’ll have to make an appointment to see the curse of the treatment, in case we can’t solve our alopecia issue by the use of topical drugs we must think of implants or another complex treatment. |
