How You Can Avoid Hair Fall

Hair can be a defining feature of some people and their self-esteem can suffer when they notice their once-healthy head of hair beginning to fall out. But some types of hair loss are temporary, and there are three main things you can change to control hair fall effectively. We’ll first discuss the causes of hair fall and then talk about the three ways to slow down or avoid hair fall.

Causes of Hair Fall

There is hair fall caused by genetics which can only be effectively “cured” by a hair transplant. This is the male-pattern or female-pattern baldness typically seen at any time after puberty. Genetic hair fall affects more than 50% of males and up to 40% of females.

But genetics is not the only cause of hair fall. Lack of sleep and mental stress can trigger hair fall in some people. Stress causes the hair follicle to enter a “resting phase”. When a large area of the scalp has follicles in a resting phase, they cease to grow and can’t be replaced by others around them if they fall out. This can result in noticeable bald spots.

Pregnancy can temporarily cause hair loss in women. The condition is called telogen effluvium, and it’s usually caused by changes in vitamins, minerals, or hormone levels during the first trimester. The condition is considered temporary, and hair growth usually returns.

Certain types of hair care and hairstyles can also cause hair fall. Perms and hair dye can damage your hair and scalp. Tight braids or hairstyles that continuously pull at the roots of the hair can also cause hair to fall out.

Hair Care

Wash your hair regularly and massage your scalp as a part of your washing routine to avoid hair fall. Keeping the scalp healthy and clean can unclog hair follicles and promote hair growth. Use a mild shampoo to avoid drying your hair out and causing it to become brittle. Letting your hair air dry after washing allows your scalp to also dry thoroughly.

Apply gentle moisturizers or natural oils after washing to maintain your hair’s suppleness. Coconut oil and olive oil may prevent damage to your hair from dyes and harsh grooming practices.

Diet

Stress, pregnancy, and hair care are all obvious cause-and-effect types of hair loss where there is a known end and remedy to the hair fall problem. But hair fall can also be caused by diet. A lack of protein or certain nutrients in your diet can also start to cause problems. If you’re experiencing hair fall, and nothing else about your lifestyle indicates a reason for it, consider any recent changes you’ve made to your diet. Focus on maintaining a nutritionally balanced diet for a while to see if this helps.

There is a list of foods, including proteins, fatty fish, leafy green vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds, that can help stop hair fall. The list contains foods high in nutrients shown to be effective in promoting hair growth and keeping hair follicles and scalps healthy.

Smoking

The UK-based Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology published a study in 2020 conducted by four doctors that pointed to cigarette smoking as a contributing factor in hair loss. They found that over 80% of smokers had some degree of hair loss, while only 40% of non-smokers had hair loss problems. Studies are continuing to identify the chemicals causing this.

Treatments Available at Bangkok Hair Clinic

There are also some treatments available at Bangkok Hair Clinic that can help. These therapies represent the latest medical innovations in the fight against hair fall.

Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP is a growth factor innovation delivered by injection at our clinic in Bangkok. The patient receives plasma containing their own plasma that has been concentrated with increased amounts of growth factors, including EGF, PDGF, KGF, and VEGF.

PRP has received a lot of positive attention among the anti-aging medical community and is growing in popularity as a recommended treatment for numerous medical issues like tendon, muscle, and joint injuries, and even cosmetic issues. When used at the Bangkok Hair Clinic, the injections stimulate the hair follicle cells to grow strong, thick, and healthy hair.

Cell Plus Therapy

This is a method of cellular hair transplantation that uses hair follicle stem cells collected from the back of the head, which produce strong, healthy hair, and injects them into thinning areas of the patient’s scalp. The stem cells stimulate the existing hair follicles to multiply and repair the weak cells among them. The result is the growth of thick, strong, and healthy hair.

Laser Hair Treatment (LLLT)

Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is designed to stimulate hair follicles through a process known as photo-bio-stimulation or phototherapy. It treats patients with all types of hair loss problems, including male and female-pattern baldness.

It works by treating the scalp with a low-energy level laser. The laser stimulates the scalp at the cellular level to produce more adenosine triphosphate (ATP), or cell energy sources. It also helps improve blood circulation for better absorption of nutrients and oxygen.

The laser is a red, medical-grade laser with a wavelength of 650 nm. It’s approved by the US FDA to treat anti-gliadin antibody (AGA) problems in both men and women. The light stimulates the hair follicle cells to function again and helps to nourish the scalp thoroughly.

Hair Transplants

Hair transplants are the only cure for a complete lack of hair in portions of the scalp. We also offer permanent eyebrow transplants that can restore your eyebrows and add balance to your appearance.

Bangkok Hair Clinic offers three of the most modern types of hair transplants in Thailand:

• FUE Shaven
• FUE Non-shaven
• DHI (FUE with implanter)
