What is Hair Fall?

Hair fall is, sort of a normal phenomenon, considered to be part of daily life for almost every human. Still, for people more than 50 to 100 strands of hair each day gradually or suddenly, because of causes like hair styling, hair care treatments, fever, and so on, hair fall can slowly turn into a cosmetic issue. Dr. Kaleem Khan, an expert dermatologist, is focused on helping her patients get the best outcomes from different hair fall procedures.

Types Of Hair Fall

Cicatricial Alopecia- It is a scarring hair loss, an inflammatory condition where the hair follicles get destroyed and replaced with scarred tissues leading to permanent hair loss either. Either it affects the center of the scalp or its front and sometimes even the eyebrows. Hair loss occurs gradually in patches or rapidly in larger areas.

Androgenetic Alopecia - It is also known as male or female pattern hair loss, a common genetic condition. In males, hair falls out first at the hairline and then top of the head to ultimately leave hair only at the back and side of the head. In females, there is hair thinning all over the head or diffused hair loss.

Alopecia Areata - It is a patchy hair loss, an autoimmune condition that causes hair to suddenly fall out in round or oval patches on the scalp or other hair-bearing body sites. It tends to run in families.

Anagen Effluvium - It is a kind of non-scarring alopecia, commonly occurring as a side effect of chemotherapy or exposure to toxic chemicals. It is an abrupt, abnormal, reversible hair loss during the anagen (active growth phase) of the hair growth cycle caused by any stressor that fractures hair shafts.

Telogen Effluvium - It is another non-scarring form of alopecia often resulting from a physical or psychological trigger. It is a rapid, reversible hair loss caused by the moving of more hair follicles in the resting phase (telogen) of the hair growth cycle.

Traction Alopecia - It is the hair loss caused by repeated or prolonged pulling of hair in the same direction. It is often the result of tight hairstyles and use of relaxers or hair extensions. You can get in touch with the best hair fall doctor in Indore, Dr. Harshita Kothari to treat all these hair loss issues effectively.

How does the Normal Hair Growth Cycle Work?

Every hair follicle on the scalp goes through three distinct stages in the hair growth cycle at different times, and probably this gets unnoticed. These stages are:

• Anagen- this is that active hair growth phase, where the hair grows longer and seems thicker, it can go on for about 2 to 7 years.
• Catagen- it is the quick transition phase where the hair follicle growth stops, basically the pace slows down and then pauses.
• Telogen- this is the resting stage where the hair follicles are fully in calm mode. Usually this lasts for around 3 months, and at the end of it comes exogen, or the shedding phase. That part is when the old hair goes through natural shedding, then it gets replaced by new hair that continues into the anagen phase. Hair shedding itself can keep going for about 2 to 5 months, sometimes it feels like it lingers a bit longer.

Dermatologists can help treat any kind of alopecia with either of the following options: minoxidil, finasteride, corticosteroids, hair mesotherapy, GFC therapy, low-level laser therapy, and scalp microneedling.

Scalp Conditions - Scalp conditions refer to different conditions that can affect the scalp and leave some kind of skin rash or cause hair loss. The conditions can range from allergic reactions and mild infections to more serious conditions and their treatment depend on their cause and severity. Some of the types of scalp conditions that can be addressed by a dermatologist include scalp psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, hair loss, folliculitis, malnutrition, and tinea capitis.

Hair Thinning & Breakage - Hair thinning and breakage are two different concerns that a dermatologist can address depending on its underlying cause. Hair thinning is a condition where hair shafts grow thinner in diameter with every hair fall and regrowth cycle. Hair breakage is the fracturing of hair strands at any point along the hair shaft. It is more likely when hair is brittle.

How can Dermatologists Help Address Hair Fall Problems?

Dr. Kaleem Khan is basically one of the better dermatologists for an effective best hair fall treatment in Andheri, Mumbai. He usually starts by asking what the patient is dealing with, like their concerns and specific symptoms. After that he checks their medical history properly and then it all comes down to finding the root cause diagnosis, because whatever is triggering the hair fall or hair loss needs to be identified first.

Topical medications - Many hair care products, like anti hair lotions, they claim they can help curb hair fall and make new growth start again.

Mesotherapy - This is one of the safer options for dealing with hair loss. The procedure uses tiny injections, a kind of mix, with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, certain medications, and other elements aimed at hair growth and skin development placed directly into the mesoderm layer of the scalp skin. In the end these components help feed the hair follicles, which supports thicker hair, better strength, and less shedding, overall.

Microneedling with Growth Factor - can feel like it works best when you pair it with growth factor therapy, especially if someone is dealing with androgenetic alopecia. In a way the microneedling treatment supports the process, while the growth factor hair therapy helps push efficient regeneration of hair cells, since it is made up of natural growth factors, proteins, and other helpful components, so overall hair growth increases.

The growth factor solution is made by taking the patient’s blood sample, running it through a centrifuge machine to sort the blood components, and then doing isolation of the key growth factors and that protein layer for later use. For scalp microneedling, micro-needles are used to make tiny micro-injuries in the skin, and this sets off the body’s natural wound healing response—like collagen remodeling plus skin cell regeneration. It also builds micro-channels within the scalp skin, so the growth factors solution can slip in deeper and help trigger healing in weakened or damaged hair follicles. And most importantly, it can promote hair growth in a more consistent way.

How To Prevent Hair Fall - Tips & Routine

• Do a head wash with appropriate shampoo and cold or lukewarm water for 2-3 days a week if a woman with long hair. Those who have dandruff must use anti-dandruff shampoos. After shampooing, use a moisturizing conditioner to coat the hair strands and reduce hair breakage and split ends.
• Avoid using heat on the tresses daily because the hair cuticles can get severely damaged. Forgo hair treatments with hot hair oils.
• Stop doing perming, coloring, and chemical straightening of the hair. When using blow dryers, keep their heat setting to the lowest.
• Gently brush or comb hair.
• Avoid smoking.
• Eat a healthy, balanced diet loaded with nutrients required for keeping up with healthy hair. Those who suffer from nutritional deficiencies can take supplements to restore essential vitamins, proteins, iron, and folic acid.
• Try out natural remedies to prevent hair fall, like applying methi seeds, eggs, onion seeds, and amla onto the hair.
