Most people experience hair loss at some point in their lives. Androgenetic alopecia is also one of the most frequent kinds, affecting both genders and having a significant impact on people’s self-worth and confidence. Many people have this query: how to treat permanent hair loss in Islamabad?
In this blog, we will discuss the causes of permanent hair loss and the current type of treatment available in the market.
What Causes Permanent Hair loss?
Permanent hair loss, therefore is normally because of one’s genes, hormonal issues, and age. The most common inherited forms are male pattern baldness and female-pattern baldness. Other causes of permanent baldness may include:
Hormonal changes:
Other causes of hair thinning or baldness are hormonal disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid disorders.
Medical conditions:
Infections of the scalp, Autoimmune diseases such as alopecia areata, or serious diseases can lead to baldness.
Medications:
Some types of medications, for instance, chemotherapy, lead to hairlessness. Sometimes, after the treatment, hair may not grow back completely as they used to be.
Trauma or scarring:
Some portions of the scalp heal or get burned with relative ease leading to scarring and therefore, poor hair regrowth.
Permanent Solutions for Hair Loss?
There isn’t any treatment for alopecia except hair transplant surgery which is very useful for those persons who want to get rid of this permanent hair loss problem.
Hair Transplant Surgery
This is a surgery meant to extort follicles of body parts that experience hair growth and transplant it on the areas that experience alopecia.
There are two main techniques for hair transplantation:
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction):
In this method, hair is taken from the donor area and transplanted into the recipient area of the scalp, one by one. It is an invasive procedure but not a very complex one and they don’t cause any sort of marks on the face of the patient.
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation):
During FUT the hair surgeon informs the removal of a strip of skin on the back of the head with numerous healthy follicles and then transplants these follicles to the required areas. However, it does result in a straight-line scar and there may be other reasons why the patient needs more grafts.
Patients who experience long-term hair loss, especially individuals suffering from androgenetic alopecia, the common pattern of hairlessness associated with men and some women are the most suitable people to undergo hair transplantation.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP therapy is another form of treatment for hair loss that has recently received more application compared to FUE. As in this process, 10cc of the patient’s blood is withdrawn then the fluid platelets full of growth factors called the Platelet Rich Plasma are isolated. The plasma is then liquefied and injected into the scalps and since it will act on the hair follicles the hair grows.
Most patients agree that PRP therapy causes little discomfort, is non-surgical, and carries minimal risks.
Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
Low-level laser therapy or LLLT is another noninvasive treatment for baldness. It consists of the use of specific light devices (for example lasers, combs, helmets, or caps) to treat hair loss. The therapy involves reducing injury inflammation by promoting blood circulation within the scalp area hence enhancing hair follicle growth and affording the hair more thickness.
It is normally safe and non-invasive, and its use at home is comfortable, but its effectiveness may be demographically sensitive.
Scalp Micropigmentation:
For those who don’t need a treatment of a medical nature but are looking for a more cosmetic approach, SMP can be perfect. SMP is where the surgeon makes small punctures into the scalp to create the looks of follicles and then fills it with pigment to give the appearance of having more hair or a clean shaved head.
People with spots, thinning hair, bald areas, or scarring can use this non-shave, non-chemical solution to treat themselves. It doesn’t make hair grow, but can prevent baldness and restore self-esteem, which is great.
Final Thoughts:
Some remedies can be applied to improve irreversible hair loss. Surgery, PRP treatment, and other surgical methods such as LLLT and SMP provide hope for baldness sufferers. The best treatment for you will ultimately depend upon the cause and the severity and type of hair loss.
