What Causes Hair Loss?
Hair loss (Alopecia) refers to a condition where the hair sheds excessively, leading to decreased hair density, thinning, or visible scalp areas. In some cases, it may develop into permanent baldness if not treated properly—especially in individuals with genetic predisposition.
Normally, people lose around 50–100 hairs per day, which is considered normal. When hair falls out more than this, or the hair strands become thinner over time, it is a sign of abnormal hair loss and should be evaluated by a specialist.
Types of Hair Loss
Hair loss can be categorized into several types:
1) Androgenetic Alopecia (Genetic Hair Loss)
The most common type, causing thinning on the crown and receding hairline.
2) Alopecia Areata
An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks hair follicles, leading to round, patchy bald spots.
3) Postpartum & Hormonal Hair Loss
Triggered by hormonal changes, especially after childbirth.
4) Telogen Effluvium (Stress-Induced Hair Loss)
Occurs after physical or emotional stress, causing excessive shedding across the entire scalp.
5) Hair Loss from Scalp Conditions or Chemical Damage
Such as fungal infections, scalp inflammation, or frequent chemical treatments (coloring, perming, straightening).
Treating hair loss without surgery (Non-Surgical Hair Restoration)
At present, the efficiency is much higher. Emphasis is placed on stopping shedding. Stimulate the hair roots to be strong. and increase the size of the hair to make it thicker
The main methods commonly used in medicine today
1. Drug treatment (Medications)
2. Injectable treatments and cell therapy (Injectable Treatments)
3. Use of light and laser technology (Laser & Light Therapy)
4. Topical Treatments
1. Inhibiting the “Bad Hormone”
(DHT Blocker)In men (and in some women), the main cause of hair loss is the hormone DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), which is formed when the male hormone combines with an enzyme. This enzyme interferes with hair follicles, causing them to shrink and eventually atrophy.
• Main active ingredient: Finasteride or Dutasteride
• Form: Oral medication (tablets)
• Mechanism of action: The medication blocks the enzyme from producing DHT. When DHT levels decrease, the hair follicles that were previously affected become stronger and produce thicker hair again.
• Note: Continuous use for approximately 3-6 months is required to see noticeable results. If use is stopped, hair loss may return.
2. Increasing blood circulation (Vasodilator)
This is like “sending supplies” to starving hair follicles. To provide energy for hair growth.
• Main ingredient: Minoxidil
• Form: Topical (serum/foam) or oral (as prescribed by a doctor in some cases)
• How it works: The medication helps dilate blood vessels in the scalp, allowing blood flow to deliver nutrients, oxygen, and vitamins directly to the hair roots.
• Results: Helps extend the lifespan of hair (Anagen Phase), preventing hair loss and stimulating the growth of thicker, fine hairs.
Why start with this method?
1. Clinically proven: This method is FDA-approved worldwide for the treatment of hereditary hair loss.
2. A foundation for other treatments: Whether it’s PRP or laser treatment, doctors often prescribe medication in conjunction to achieve longer-lasting and more effective results.
3. Affordable: Compared to other technologies, medication treatment is the lowest cost per month.
2. Injectable Treatments
involve using a small needle (micro-needle) to deliver concentrated medications, nutrients, or stem cells directly into the dermis, where the hair follicles are located.
This method is more effective than topical treatments alone because the nutrients do not pass through the stratum corneum or oils on the skin, allowing the hair follicles to receive 100% of the nutrients. There are three main techniques currently popular:
2.1 (Platelet-Rich Plasma) – Injection of concentrated platelets
This is the most “organic” method because it uses the patient’s own blood.
• Process: Blood is centrifuged at high speed to obtain plasma with a high concentration of platelets (Growth Factors). * How it works: When injected back in, the Growth Factors act as a “repair signal,” stimulating the division of hair follicle cells and creating new blood vessels to nourish the hair roots.
• Advantages: Highly safe, with no risk of allergic reactions because it uses components from the patient’s own body.
2. Hair Mesotherapy – Injection of vitamins and nutrients
This is like giving a “shortcut supplement” to weakened hair roots.
• Process: The doctor will prepare a formula (cocktail) consisting of Vitamin B (Biotin), amino acids, minerals, and a drug to dilate blood vessels.
• How it works: These substances immediately inhibit the hair loss cycle and help new hair grow stronger and healthier.
• Advantages: Fast results in reducing hair loss. (Ideal for people experiencing sudden hair loss due to stress or nutritional deficiencies)
3. Rigenera Activa (Cell Therapy) – Hair follicle cell therapy
An advanced technique using “cell repair” without major surgery.
• Process: The doctor selects the strongest hair follicle tissue (usually behind the ear), very small, only 2-3 mm, and extracts it using a special instrument to become fresh cells (Progenitor Cells) in liquid form.
• How it works: These cells act as a “starter” to repair and regenerate hair follicles that are atrophying, allowing them to produce new, thicker, and stronger hair again.
• Advantages: Only needs to be done once a year, requires no downtime, and provides very natural-looking results.
Advantages of injectable treatment:
1. Direct Delivery: Nutrients reach the hair roots directly, bypassing the digestive system and limited skin absorption.
2. No Downtime: You can resume your normal life immediately after the procedure. There may be slight redness, which disappears on its own in 1-2 days.
3. Visible Results: Results are often seen faster than with oral or topical medications alone.
3. Use of light and laser technology (Laser & Light Therapy)
Laser & Light Therapy for Hair Loss: How Light Energy Reactivates Dormant Hair FolliclesLaser & Light Therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light energy to stimulate biological activity inside the hair follicle—without needles, pain, or downtime.The principle behind this method is similar to photosynthesis, but instead of helping plants grow, it activates the metabolic function of human hair follicle cells.
There are two primary technologies widely used today :
1. LLLT (Low-Level Laser Therapy)
LLLT is the most popular and well-researched technology, and it is FDA-cleared for treating genetic hair loss (Androgenetic Alopecia).
How It Works
Uses red laser light with a wavelength of 650–670 nm
This light penetrates the scalp and reaches the hair follicles
It stimulates the mitochondria, the “power generator” of each cell
The mitochondria produce more ATP (cellular energy)
Results
With increased cellular energy:
Weak or miniaturizing follicles can revive
The Anagen Phase (growth phase) extends
Hair becomes denser, thicker, and stronger
Usage Options
In-Clinic Treatment
Performed using large, medical-grade laser devices with higher power output
Home Use Devices
Laser helmets
Laser combs
Recommended usage: 15–30 minutes, 3 times per week LANNA
4. Topical Treatments
Topical Treatments & Cosmeceuticals for Hair and Scalp Health Topical treatments refer to external hair and scalp care using products formulated with high-potency active ingredients or cosmeceutical-grade compounds. These products are more effective than regular shampoos or conditioners found in retail stores.
The focus of topical therapy is to optimize the scalp environment by cleansing, reducing inflammation, and delivering nutrients to the hair follicles through direct application.
The main components include:
1. Therapeutic & Medicated Shampoos
These shampoos do more than clean—they help address underlying issues that prevent healthy hair growth.
• Anti-fungal & Anti-inflammatory Shampoos
Formulated with ingredients such as:
Ketoconazole
Selenium Sulfide
These help treat dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, conditions that commonly trigger chronic hair shedding.
• Oil-Control Shampoos
Designed to remove excess sebum, which can clog follicles and trap high concentrations of DHT.
Reducing oil buildup helps lower external triggers of hair loss.
2. High-Concentration Hair Serums & Tonics
These products act as “nutrient boosters” for the scalp, designed to penetrate deeply into the follicle environment.
Key Active Ingredients
Widely researched natural complexes such as:
Redensyl
Capixyl
Procapil
These ingredients help stimulate hair follicle stem cells and inhibit DHT activity—without the systemic side effects seen with oral medications.
Peptides
Small protein chains that strengthen the hair anchoring structure.
They help hairs stay firmly attached to the scalp, reducing excessive daily shedding.
