Causes of Hair Thinning
There are various reasons which lead to hair thinning. However, in all the cases the primary cause is the improper hair growth cycle and inadequate production of hairs by the follicles. Factors that result in hair thinning are the following.
- Aging and Genetics
Aging is a natural process that brings many skin and hair-related issues with it. It is a predominant cause of male and female pattern baldness. Experiencing hair loss during the late 30s and in the 40s is often seen for both genders. Also, genetics can cause hair thinning at an early age as well. If any of your close relatives have suffered from the problem, you are also prone to it.
- Alopecia Areata
It is a condition that results in patchy hair loss. The thinning occurs in round patches. Beginning with the head, it can affect the beard, eyebrows, and other parts of the body that have hair. The condition can be reverted as the hair follicles stay alive and can be stimulated to produce hairs.
- Deficiency of Vitamin D
Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that is required for healthier and fuller hair. It nourishes and stimulates the hair follicles to maintain a regular hair growth cycle.
- Dietary Issues
Nutrition is essential for the health of hair follicles and the growth of new hairs. While vitamins and minerals keep hair follicles healthy and active, protein provides strength and tensile to the strands. Improper diet may result in poor hair growth, brittleness, and dull and dry hair.
- Stress
This is one of the most common reasons for hair thinning these days. Prolonged stress causes significant hair loss. Post-operation shocks or some jolt due to accidents can also result in sudden hair thinning.
- Pregnancy
Childbirth is a daunting process and is followed by shock hair loss. You may experience a significant reduction in hair volume post-pregnancy.
- Medical Conditions And Medication
Medical conditions like heart disease and hypertension also lead to hair thinning. Many diseases like thyroid that are related to hormonal imbalance also contribute to the problem. Medications for diseases like cancer are the well-known cause of the issue.
Treatments Options
There are various treatment options for hair thinning. All these methods can improve the volume of your hair to a great extent. Most of the time the results are permanent. The choice of treatment depends on the type, severity, and underlying cause of the problem. For surgical treatments, your general health and medical condition are also considered.
- Meso-Therapy
It is a safe and non-invasive treatment that is aimed at managing the proper supply of materials to hair follicles. The treatment regulates the excess DHT which is a prominent reason for hair thinning in males. It improves blood circulation to the follicles to ensure their growth and survival.
- Bio-Gen Therapy
Bio-Gen is highly effective in improving the thickness of the hair. The process involves inserting the essential nutrients directly into the roots. It is also capable of revitalizing the dormant hair follicles.
- Hair Transplant
A hair transplant is a popular surgical technique to restore your hair and its volume. The procedure is performed in three ways. In the strip transplant or FUT method, the strip of hair follicles is extracted. The FUE method, on the other hand, involves extracting follicles that are directly extracted using tiny punch incisions. In both cases, the extracted follicles are carefully placed in the hair-deprived. The Dermalife also offers a boosted FUE treatment that ensures the highest graft survival rate and much better results.
- Hair Re-growth Treatment
Hair Re-growth treatment is another highly successful treatment in curing hair thinning. The treatment is done with the help of plasma-rich platelets taken from your blood. This Hair Re-growth treatment solution is inserted into the roots of the hair follicles which stimulates hair growth.
