Managing Hair Loss is Made Easy with Diverse Treatments, Restoring Growth and Confidence!

Hair fall is a worldwide common problem faced by anyone irrespective of age, race, ethnicity, and gender. It can affect only the scalp or even other body parts, temporarily or permanently. Hair fall or shedding happens naturally in fewer numbers and remains unnoticed or needs no treatment. It becomes a cosmetic concern when hair strands fall in large numbers, there is noticeable hair thinning or visible baldness on the scalp.

Signs of Extensive Hair Fall

The signs of hair fall or alopecia (hair loss conditions) may vary for males and females and even people of different age groups. However, the first sign of extensive hair fall or hair loss for anyone is a bunch of hair collecting in the hairbrush or a lot of hair strands spotted in the shower drain. If you are experiencing these symptoms, then book a consultation with the best hair loss treatment doctor in Bangalore Dr. Vani Vasanth at Skin Science. She provides effective hair loss control treatments that are very much effective in managing baldness, corrects receding hairline and promoting new hair growth.

In men, the signs of hair fall and hair loss conditions may include: 

  • Hair thinning on the scalp
  • A receding hairline
  • Horseshoe shaped pattern of hair loss that exposes the crown of the head.

 In women, the signs of hair fall and hair loss conditions may include: 

  • Diffused hair loss or generalised hair thinning, especially at the crown of the head 

The signs of extensive hair fall or hair loss conditions in children and young adults may include: 

  • Sudden loss of hair in patches
  • Hair loss all over the body
  • A nervous habit of hair pulling or rubbing of the scalp
  • Unexplained hair loss on any part of the body.

Causes of Hair Fall

The reasons why hair falls out so much are: 

  • Heredity/ Family history- Both males and females can experience hair thinning and a predictable pattern of hair loss gradually as they age because of their family history of hair loss or pattern baldness. Another kind of hair loss called patchy hair loss or alopecia areata also tends to run in families.
  • Emotional or physical stress- Stressful situations like serious infection or high fever, childbirth, major illness, major surgery, sudden blood loss, intense emotions, and crash diets can all cause telogen effluvium. Telogen effluvium is a kind of hair loss that causes excessive shedding of hair in the telogen (resting) phase of the hair growth cycle. It can cause one-half to three-quarters of scalp hair to shed temporarily. The hair loss may not be noticed for weeks to months following the stress episodes.
  • Hormonal changes- Extensive hair fall in females usually occurs because of hormonal fluctuations during their pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and thyroid problems (if any). Elevated androgen levels and less es-trog-en could be the reason behind hair loss.
  • Tight hairstyles- Excessive hair styling or styling hair into pigtails or cornrows that pull hair tight can cause a kind of hair loss called traction alopecia. 
  • Use of heat for hair styling and application of chemicals on hair- Applying hot oil or chemicals on hair or use of heat styling tools can weaken the hair follicles and cause hair to fall out.  
  • Nutritional deficiencies- If one does not take a diet rich in proteins and essential vitamins and minerals daily, one is more susceptible to having poor quality and quantity of scalp hair.
  • Poor scalp health- A fungal infection of the scalp skin, a chemical/heat burn on the scalp, or an injury to the head can cause the hair to fall out in the affected area.
  • Certain drugs and supplements- Extensive hair fall can be a side effect of prolonged intake of certain drugs such as those given to treat depression, arthritis, gout, heart problems, high blood pressure, and cancer. Intake of NS-AIDs, beta-blockers, retin-oids, birth control pills, and calcium channel blockers can lead to telogen effluvium.
  • Certain medical conditions- Hair pulling disorder (trichotillomania), an autoimmune condition called alopecia areata (patchy hair loss), certain infectious diseases like Syphilis, fungal and bacterial scalp infections, and tumour of the ovary or adrenal glands are potential causes of hair fall in an unpredictable pattern.
  • Polluted air and water- Washing hair with polluted water and living in a polluted environment can make the hair strands weak/damaged and lead to their breakage. 
  • Radiation therapy to head or chemotherapy- It can damage the hair follicles and cause the hair to fall out.

Male Pattern Baldness

Male pattern baldness, also known as androgenic alopecia, is the most common kind of hair loss in men, especially those aged above 50 years. In this type of hair loss, men start losing their hair at the temples or the crown of the head. Some males have a single bald spot on their scalp while others experience hairline receding and eventually have an “M” shape pattern of hair loss. In more severe cases, the hairline recedes to an extent that most or all of the hair on the scalp is gone. 

Male pattern baldness usually occurs because of genetics. Researchers believe that male pattern baldness is associated with changes in levels of androgen- the male sex hormone that has a role in regulating hair growth. The more serious reasons behind male pattern baldness could be side effects of certain medications, some cancers, thyroid conditions, and the use of anabolic steroids. Thankfully, there are different hair growth stimulating medications and therapies including surgical hair transplant that can help treat male pattern baldness.

Female Pattern Baldness

Female pattern baldness is the most common form of hair loss/ alopecia in women. It may be due to ageing, changes in levels of androgen hormones, genetics/family history, heavy menstrual flow, or certain hormone-based drugs such as estrogenic birth control pills. Unlike pattern hair loss seen in males, female pattern baldness is a diffused hair thinning or hair loss covering the entire scalp. The hair thinning is mainly on the top of the head or crown of the scalp and the front hairline just normally recedes with age. The first sign is the widening seen through the centre hair part just like Christmas tree branches are. Near total baldness or entirely bald scalp is rare in women, as possible in men. If a female is uncomfortable with her looks affected by pattern baldness, she can go for dermatologist-recommended treatments such as hair growth-stimulating medicines, P-R-P hair therapy, GFC hair therapy, and mesotherapy.

Best In-office Treatments to Stop Hair Fall by Dermatologist in Bangalore at Skin Science

  • Medication- There are hair growth stimulating medicines available like topical mino-xidil and oral finas-teride for people experiencing hair thinning and hair loss. Hormonal-induced hair loss is treatable with anti-and-rogen medications. For fungal infections on the scalp causing hair loss, antifungals are prescribed by dermatologists. Corticos-teroids are usually given by doctors to treat patchy hair loss- an autoimmune condition. 
  • Hair mesotherapy in Bangalore- This therapy is performed to well nourish the hair follicles so that hair loss can be treated and the hair can grow thicker, stronger, and shiner. It involves injecting a prepared mixture of essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, botanical extracts, and other healthy hair growth-promoting ingredients into the mesoderm layer of the scalp. Multiple sessions are needed to address extensive hair fall, dandruff, dry scalp, fragile/split hair, seborrhea of the scalp, and volume loss in the basal area at once.  
  • P-R-P hair therapy in Bangalore- In this therapy, a series of pla-telet-rich pla-sma injections containing natural growth factors and proteins are directly administered into the areas of the scalp affected by hair loss. The P-R-P injection is prepared using the patient’s blood after it’s centrifuged to separate the blood components and isolate the platelet-enriched plasma. This therapy is effective in preventing further hair loss and encouraging new hair growth. Multiple sessions spaced 2-6 weeks apart are needed to get optimal results.
  • Growth factor concentrate (GFC) therapy- It is one of the most popular hair loss treatments in Bangalore performed among many people visiting Skin Science. This therapy is an advanced version of P-R-P therapy as it involves the use of pure, highly safe concentrated growth factor preparation, free of plas-ma and other blood cells. The GFC injection administration into the scalp helps deliver growth factors at the hair roots. It helps improve hair thickness and strength, rejuvenates hair follicles, increases hair volume, reduces hair fall, and stimulates hair growth. 3-4 sessions over three months are needed to get optimal results and thereafter maintenance sessions once in every 4-6 months or even a year. 
  • Scalp Microneedling in Bangalore- In this therapy, a special device or roller with multiple microneedles is used to create multiple micro-injures in the scalp skin. The needle pricks induce collagen remodelling and also create micro channels to allow the hair medications or hair growth-stimulating solutions to penetrate deep into the scalp skin and reach the hair roots providing enhanced results.

Ways To Prevent Hair Fall

Hair fall is preventable in some cases by having healthy lifestyle habits. The preventive tips include:

  • Do not neglect the incorporation of proteins, vitamins, and mineral-rich foods in your daily diet.
  • Practice stress-relieving techniques like yoga and meditation to avoid stress-induced hair fall.
  • Avoid drug and alcohol abuse and even smoking as these bad lifestyle habits can also impact hair health.
  • Go with a dermatologist-advised hair care routine. Do not wash hair with hot water as it can cause dandruff, make hair follicles weak, and result in falling out of the hair strands.
  • To keep the hair strong and thick, do not comb wet hair, avoid regular use of hair dryers or hair straighteners/curlers, and do not apply chemical-based hair products.
  • Trim hair every few months to avoid split ends and to control excessive hair fall.

Frequently Asked Questions

Losing 50 to 100 hair strands daily is normal and is a part of the natural hair growth cycle- the telogen phase.

Both males and females can suffer from pattern hair loss/baldness, triggered by hormones and genetics. Hair falls mostly affect males faster and more extensively than females. Extensive hair fall in men may manifest at the time of puberty starting with hair recession at the temples and the appearance of an “M” shaped hairline. On the other hand, women experience diffuse hair thinning/fall at the top of their heads, at the age of 20-30 usually because of hormonal fluctuations and ageing.

Hair fall can be temporary or permanent. It is permanent when the hair follicles from hair growth get damaged.

Yes, it can, shares hair doctor in Bangalore, Dr. Vani Vasanth. Having a calorie-deficit diet and overeating can both lead to a deficiency of nutrients essential for healthy, thick hair growth. The nutrients essential for good hair structure and growth are biotin, riboflavin, vitamin B12, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), proteins, and minerals like zinc and iron.

You should see a dermatologist for hair fall if you have experienced a sudden loss of hair in patches, have more than 100 hair strands falling out daily,  have areas of hair thinning or bald spots/patches, or are distressed by persistent hair fall.
