                      Program Scalp & Hair Therapy

 

Program   benefits the hair and scalp in these important ways:

 

The end of the hair, called the bulb (located in the follicle), is the only living part of the hair. When properly nourished, bulb cells divide rapidly and produce hair strands. Our treatments provide vitamins, nutrients and polysaccharides to nurture the bulb.

 

The micro circulatory system is nature’s prime source of nourishment and necessary oxygen for the hair bulb and follicle. Our program encourages circulation of the scalp allowing the capillaries to optimize this function.

 

By supplying the follicles and sebaceous gland with proper nutrients, oily scalp, dandruff and “sebum plug” can be minimized.

Our program will help create an ideal environment for a glossier, healthier, more vital head of hair. Also, a cleaner and healthier scalp will be achieved by keeping the hair follicle and sebaceous gland supplied with natural vitamins, nutrients.

 

                            Men Hair Loss

 

Men begin to lose hair in several different ways. The most common of which involve receding at the temples, centralized loss on the top back of the head (vertex), and something known as diffuse thinning, where hair over larger areas begins to thin without any specific change in the shape of the hair line. Naturally, combinations of these types of thinning is also very common

You may wish to familiarize yourself with the “Norwood Scale”. It is one of the most commonly used methods of identifying exactly which class of hair loss you fit in, and to what extent your loss has progressed. It is also a good way to see how things may continue if your situation is left untreated.

                           Female Hair Loss

 

Let’s look at the most common causes:•The Birth Control Pill. Hair loss while on “the pill” has been reported. So too has diffuse Alopecia upon stopping the pill. A history of previous postpartum hair loss is variably present.

•The Postpartum period. The months following childbirth are also a very common time for some women to experience hair loss. Each individual hair goes through cycles of growth and resting phases. During pregnancy, more hair follicles are maintained in the growth phase due to high estrogen levels. After pregnancy, a greater proportion of these hairs go into the resting phase than normal, causing a temporary “shedding” (really a mass-dormancy) of the hair, which typically is self-correcting over time.

•Hormonal factors. Changes in hormone levels, especially those of the thyroid and sex hormones, influence the hair follicle. The associated hair loss usually disappears when the condition is put under control. Hypothyroidism is a very common cause.

•Nutritional Factors. Crash dieting or chronic nutritional deprivation (starvation or alcoholism) may result in some diffuse hair loss. Iron and Zinc deficiency are also recognized as potential causes of Telogen Effluvium. A blood test can reveal whether this is a factor in your situation.

•Fever. Two to five months after a severe fever related illness, increased Telogen hair loss can begin.
•Systemic Illness. Various systemic illnesses including Crohn’s disease and hepatic disease have been associated with diffuse hair loss. Others include late stage syphilis, lymphoproliferative disorders, and inflammatory bowel disease.

•Medications. A large number of drugs have been reported to cause or possibly cause, diffuse Alopecia.

Similar to male pattern baldness, women’s hair loss can take many shapes and forms, however the causes can be much more elusive. Researchers have classified some forms of female hair loss by using a scale known as the Ludwig Scale. This is a rather limited, but accurate portrayal of what is commonly seen in women with hair loss. Female Androgenetic Alopecia is just one kind of diffuse hair loss experienced by women. It is particularly likely to appear at times of hormonal change, and is generally identified by overall thinning versus patchy loss. Evolution of woman hair loss : We established the three main types of women’s hair loss: Androgenetic Alopecia, Telogen Effluvium, and Alopecia Areata.

Specifically, we established that women’s hair loss is typically due to imbalances caused by medications, abnormal hormonal functions within the body, and often times, simple hormonal imbalances. The upside of this news is that unlike male pattern baldness, women’s hair loss can reverse over time and treatment can stop.

 

Alopecia Areata

A sudden patchy loss of hair may be due to the condition known as Alopecia Areata. This condition is relatively common, and as many as 1 in 1,000 people may suffer from it at some time. The cause is unknown and occasionally it becomes very widespread and severe.

 

       Test

Blood Tests: There are a series of tests that an educated specialist will have done on you. Without these tests, there is no way for any physician to accurately diagnose your condition. If your physician says these tests are not necessary, or refuses to do them for you, then it is advised that you find another physician to handle this situation. We cannot stress this strongly enough. You need to have these tests done, and you need a qualified specialist to review them, and your scalp, in order to get the care you need. The tests are as follows:

» Hormone levels (DHEAS, Testosterone, Androstenedione, Prolactin, Follicular Stimulating Hormone, and Leutinizing Hormone)

» Serum Iron, Serum Ferritin, TIBC (Total Iron Binding capacity)

» Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

» VDRL

» Complete Blood Count (CBC)

» Are you on any medications? If so, what.

» How long has this problem been occurring?

» Is the hair falling out fully intact, or is it breaking?

» Family history of diabetes, asthma, arthritis, lupus, vitiligo, anemia, or Addison’s disease?

» Have you recently given birth, or gone through menopause?
