Treatment of Alopecia (hair loss) in "ON Clinic Odessa"

Every day, we lose up to 100 hairs, which is considered normal and does not affect the appearance of the hairstyle. If hair loss increases and hair gets noticeably thinner, you should immediately consult a trichologist.

Symptoms of alopecia directly depend on the pathology type. Thus, hair loss caused by seborrhea is accompanied by increased sebum production, itching, and peeling of the scalp. Focal alopecia is characterized by the appearance of individual bald areas. Diffuse alopecia manifests itself with a total hair loss.

One of the most common forms of pathology in men is androgenic alopecia. Its first signs appear at a rather young age (20-30 years) when small bald areas appear on the top of the head, temples or forehead. Over time, alopecia in men progresses and can lead to complete hair loss.

In fairer sex, this type of alopecia is extremely rare and hair in women gets thinner evenly on the entire head surface. Nevertheless, alopecia in women causes severe aesthetic and psychological discomfort. That is why it is necessary to start treatment as soon as the first symptoms of hair loss are discovered. It is recommended to do this under the supervision of an experienced physician.

Already at the first consultation in "ON Clinic Odessa", a trichologist performs complex diagnostics of alopecia. It consists in collecting anamnesis, visual examination of the scalp and hair, as well as in their study under a digital trichoscope. After this, an individual therapy plan is developed, which can consist of:

• Vitamin complexes

• Medical shampoos, masks, sprays

• Physiotherapy procedures.

A certain diet and proper hair care at home will help to accelerate the treatment process and safe the result.

Causes of alopecia (hair loss)

Regardless of sex and age, the hair starts to fall out strongly under the influence of the following factors:

• Hormonal dysfunctions

• Prolonged hormonal, antibacterial therapy or chemotherapy

• Poisoning with toxins

• Acute stress reactions and shock

• Immunodeficiency disorders.

The cause of alopecia areata is an internal autoimmune reaction, which causes the hair follicles to lose their vitality. Chronic infections and fungoid diseases of the head skin can speed up hair loss.

Diffuse alopecia in women often begins to develop after pregnancy and childbirth and is caused by hormonal imbalance and exhaustion of the body. Alopecia can be caused by genetic predisposition. For example, if the majority of men in the family began to lose hair early and had apparent bald areas by the age of 30-35, androgenic alopecia is more likely to occur in representatives of the next generations.

External factors can also provoke hair loss. Scarring alopecia manifests itself in areas of injuries, burns or freeze burns of the scalp. The same applies to rough combing, frequent ponytail making or hair straightening.

You should remember that focal alopecia, like other forms of this pathology, can be treated successfully at the early stages. Specialists of "ON Clinic Odessa" will not only determine the exact cause of alopecia but also prescribe an effective therapy plan. Shampoos and other products that are suitable for your hair type and scalp will be recommended to prevent further hair loss.
