A full head of ridiculously thick, shiny and bouncy hair rates high on the list of every woman’s dream asset. Just as the promise of never going bald and hanging on to strands is very important to men. Hair goals aside, some of us just want to keep what we have on our heads in top condition, even if we’re not yet worried about the great escape. If you are starting to see hair thinning or loss in the mirror, think the same way you do about skin treatment – after all, your scalp is really just an extension of your face. And just like it, it needs expert rejuvenation for renewal. For hair growth, that means getting those follicles awake and primed to sprout strong new strands.
The Truth About Hair Loss: Why It’s More Common Than You May Think
From trichotillomania to androgenetic alopecia (also known as female pattern hair loss), diagnoses are varied and can often leave you overwhelmed. The stress of actually seeing strands disappear into the drain during a shower seems bad enough, but confronting an actual labelled condition means things just got real. However, it’s also the first step toward healing, preparing those follicles for renewed growth.
Skin Renewal offers solutions to your hair loss problems, working with you to find the root cause. As several reasons may cause hair fall, it’s vital not to self-diagnose, but rather under the guidance of a medical expert, so that your treatment matches the actual condition. It’s strategy building; in other words, do you need help with menopausal hair shedding or other hormonal influences causing hair loss, such as pregnancy? Or is inherited pattern baldness laying claim to your strands? Identifying the troublemaker puts an action plan in place, and Skin Renewal can provide an enhanced therapy program to maximise benefits.
Causes of Hair Loss May Be Linked To:
- Age
- Anaemia (lack of red blood cells)
- Alopecia Areata (an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks hair follicles, which can run in families).
- Chemotherapy
- Fungal Infections
- Post-Pregnancy
- Stress
- Trichotillomania (a hair-pulling disorder)
Get Up And Grow: A Wake-Up Call For Dormant Follicles
The recreation of luscious locks can often be ignited by an autologous (from your own body) process. Known for its power to stimulate dormant follicles, PRP for Hair Loss uses your own blood with its concentrated platelets and growth factors to get things growing again. This method simply involves drawing a small amount of blood, which is then processed to extract its concentrated platelets and growth factors. This healing cocktail is then re-injected into the site of thinning hair.
The trick to making these platelets work effectively for you is to understand two key aspects: one, the diagnosis of hair loss, and two, the timing of treatment. For instance, if you’re still in the early phase of hair fall or thinning, now’s the moment to do something decisive about it. It’s the same with androgenetic alopecia (in men and women) and alopecia areata (autoimmune-related hair loss). This type of treatment is known to be a sound solution for both cases, and can be combined with others to create a multiplier effect, further saving strands.
Set Your PRP To Turbo Charge: Treatment Combinations to Consider
- Microneedling boosts the penetration of platelets and growth factors, and revs up collagen production.
- Carboxytherapy: Gets your follicles stimulated.
- Growth Factor Serums: Add an extra boost of regeneration.
- PDT with growth factor serum.
- Injected mesotherapy with PRF.
Both Carboxytherapy and Microneedling, such as Dermapen, can be done as stand-alone treatments for hair loss. Combining these modalities always creates a synergistic effect that significantly affects results.
Wait There’s More: Supporting Your Hair At Home
Your skilled Skin Renewal doctor may have recommended neurotoxin injectables for your traction alopecia, or perhaps mesotherapy to infuse a cocktail of compounds into your scalp for hair growth and strengthening. Supplementation with Omega-3, as well as Zinc, Folate, and Biotin (found in Skin Renewal’s Hair, Skin, and Nail Formula), means adding care from the inside out. It’s also a wise way to get in these good fats, minerals, and vitamins without worrying about perfect nutrition. Yes, you want to eat as well as you can, but supplements provide not just systemic support but also the right balance of essential nutrients.
Another way to love your lengths is by ditching scalp-irritating shampoos, especially those with synthetic fragrance, parabens and formaldehyde. Apply the “scalp is an extension of my skin” ethos to your hair care with shampoo and conditioning products, such as PeloBaum products, which skincare brands actually make. These products are especially designed to stimulate and fortify hair follicles.
Hair loss is massively linked to self-esteem. And, sadly, after some time, it becomes increasingly difficult to hide. While it may be a layered approach, with steps such as definite diagnosis, treatment, and perhaps a combination for boosted results, as well as home care, those rewards do come.
Once you see renewed thickness, and for women, that gorgeous body and bounce, you’ll be so glad you took the time to rejuvenate your hair.
