Hair Loss: Why it happens, and how you can fight it

Hair Loss Solutions

Suffering from hair loss can be an upsetting and a scary experience, but the good news is there are many ways that can help to minimise the symptoms. Understanding more about hair loss and exploring effective alopecia treatments is a start.

What Causes Hair Loss?

There is no singular cause of hair loss. Alopecia, for example, is often caused by conditions that affect the immune system, while male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness are believed to be triggered either by hormonal changes or through hereditary genes. This means that if your parents suffered with thinning hair, then there are chances that you may too have it. Hair loss is also caused by a poor diet, and can also be attributed to environmental factors, such as pollution and cigarette smoke. Anything that can prevent the hair follicles from doing their job correctly and slowing down growth of new hairs is a factor that can be counted for hair loss.

Effective Hair Loss Treatment Options

There are many types of alopecia treatments. Some work physiologically to encourage the follicles to grow new hair, and some work cosmetically to specifically address the changes to a person’s overall appearance. Cosmetic options typically produce a quicker result.

One of the most effective cosmetic hair loss treatments is called ‘hair follicle simulation’. This technique works to create the appearance of hair without the presence of hair. The method is somewhat similar this method is similar to tattooing, wherein the technician creates realistic hair follicles to fill in sparse areas. Hair follicle simulation is a popular alopecia treatment as it’s non-surgical and is therefore a very low risk option.

In some cases, alopecia can cause the loss of eyebrows and eyelashes. Luckily, there are a number of hair loss treatments designed to target facial hair loss. Microblading, for example, has quickly emerged as one of the best ways to create a natural-looking eyebrow mimicking natural hair strokes, while permanent makeup options, like the ombre brow and permanent eyeliners are also in demand these days.
