Trichology – hair loss

n

Hair has great social significance for human beings and it’s role in the history and traditions is really difficult to undervalue. It still possesses powerful symbolic and evocative properties. An object of traditions and beliefs, a sign with hierarchical, religious or mystical significance, it also indicates an established order or a refusal to comply with one. In addition, it is a means of projecting the image we have of ourselves and in fact plays a multiplicity of roles. Healthy hair indicates health and youth and it is not therefore by chance that hair has taken such an important place in everyday language. Hair loss or even fear to loss it always has negative impact on the mental state and life quality. 

Due to hormonal changes, irritation or damage, some hair follicles have a shorter growth phase and produce thinner, shorter hair shafts.

Physicians of our center cure

• Androgenic alopecia in males and females when the time of growth shortens, and the hairs are not as thick or sturdy. With each growth cycle, the hairs become rooted more superficially and more easily fall out. Heredity likely plays a key role. A history of androgenetic alopecia on either side of your family increases your risk of balding. Heredity also affects the age at which you begin to lose hair and the developmental speed, pattern and extent of your baldness.

• Alopecia areata. This is classified as an autoimmune disease. People who develop alopecia areata are generally in good health. A few people may have other autoimmune disorders, including thyroid disease. A family history of alopecia areata makes you more likely to develop it. With alopecia areata, your hair generally grows back, but you may lose and regrow your hair a number of times.

• Telogen effluvium. This type of hair loss is usually due to a change in your normal hair cycle. It may occur when some type of shock to your system — emotional or physical — causes hair roots to be pushed prematurely into the resting state. The affected growing hairs from these hair roots fall out. Telogen effluvium may follow emotional distress, or a physiological stress, such as a high fever, sudden or excessive weight loss, extreme diets, nutritional deficiencies, surgery, or metabolic disturbances.
