Hair Loss

What is hair loss

Hair loss is a common phenomenon of hair loss caused by various factors. We lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day. Hair loss is nothing to worry about, but if the hair loss is significant and continuous, baldness may occur.

Our hairs naturally grow in a cycle which includes growing phase, transition phase, and resting phase. When the hair completes the growing phase, it will enter its transition and resting phase and eventually fall out. For healthy hair, there is a balanced dynamic between the number of hairs entering the transition/resting phase and the number of hairs entering the growing phase, which maintains the total number of hairs. However, when the dynamic is being disrupted or when the hair follicles are damaged and scarred, the number of hairs newly entering growing phase will decline and cause significant hair falling out and baldness.

Baldness is a skin disease that can affect one’s appearance and self-confidence, it also may lead to psychological consequences such as depression, insomnia, and autism. Therefore, hair loss should be treated properly.

Hair loss can be inherited and acquired:

● Inherited hair loss

Hereditary hair loss is caused by genetic influences such as congenital ectodermal dysplasia, congenital hypotrichosis.

● Acquired hair loss

A variety of factors such as psychological status, environment, eating and sleeping pattern, and disease can contribute to hair loss. Acquired hair loss is more common than inherited hair loss.

 

Risk factors of acquired hair loss:

○ Hormonal imbalance caused by consuming too much sugar or fat, poor sleeping habits, sedentary lifestyle, or overweight;

○ Psychological status. For example, high stress level can cause hair loss;

○ Androgen can cause baldness beginning above both temples, which is called androgenetic alopecia, male-pattern baldness, or seborrheic alopecia;

○ Declined level of female hormones or anaemia can cause hair loss;

○ Age. Hair loss is worsen with age;

○ Hair dyeing and perming cause hair loss by damaging the hair and scalp;

○ Some immune diseases such as lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, or scleroderma can cause hair loss;

○ Physical interactions such as X-ray exposure, hair burn, or hair damage from friction can cause hair loss;

Symptoms

The most obvious signs of hair loss: wider part line, thinner hair at the top of the head, and noticeable hair fall when washing hair or brushing hair.

Self-assessment of hair loss: Grasping a small section of hairs (from the hair root) by your fingers and thumb and tugging gently and sliding the fingers along the hair shaft. Repeat 5 to 6 times and observe how many hairs have been pulled away for each time. If more than 3 or 4 hairs are pulled away from the scalp for every move, it suggests a positive result of hair loss.

Affected people

Hair loss in women and men are different. In female hair loss, it starts at the part line. But male hair loss usually starts in the front and top of the head.

Treatment

Ai Beauty Clinic believes treatments involving “hair nourishing” and “hair growth” are the most effective methods to treat hair loss. The Hydrafacial scalp SPA treatment helps to nourish the hair and scalp, restore a balanced scalp condition for growth of healthy hair, and stimulate damaged hair follicles to grow new hair. On the other hand, PRP hair regrowth treatment uses growth factors to stimulate the regrowth of hair and strengthen hair follicles for better hair growth conditions.

A. PRP treatment for hair loss

What is PRP treatment:

PRP（Platelet Rich Plasma）is a plasma containing a high concentration of platelets or growth factors, which can promote skin rejuvenation, stimulate hair regrowth, and speed up wounds healing. PRP treatment is highly safe and has obtained European CE certification, ISO, SQS and extensive clinical validation in other regions. Supported by numerous clinical trials, it has shown positive results for hair growth, reversal of hair loss, and increased hair thickness/volume.

How does it work:

Growth factors produced in platelets stimulate the proliferation, differentiation, and growth of hair follicles, improve blood vessels formation and blood supply around the hair follicle, extend the hair growth phase, and delay the falling out. PRP hair regrowth solution is produced by the client’s own blood and injected into the scalp. The high-concentration platelet and growth factors can effectively stimulate hair regeneration, nourish hair follicles, prevent hair loss and build a healthier scalp, fundamentally solving the problem of hair loss.

Procedure:

1. Face-to-face consultation: Develop a unique PRP plan based on the client’s condition and desired results.

2. Pre-treatment preparation: Collect blood from clients and obtain concentrated platelets solution by centrifugation; Apply anaesthesia, clean, and disinfect the scalp.

3. PRP injection: Administer injection solution to the scalp by a qualified practitioner. Repeat injection in severe areas.

4. Post-treatment precautions.

Duration: 45-60 mins

B. Hydrafacial Scalp Treatment for Fuller and Healthier Hair

What is Hydrafacial:

Hydrafacial is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation device that has US FDA, EU CE, Canada CSA and Chinese CQC certifications. It is a versatile device that provides multiple medical beauty treatments including deep cleaning, skin exfoliation and nourishing protection.

How does it work:

The Hydrafacial Keravive scalp treatment adopts a patented technology called Hydrafacial Vortex vacuum technology to remove the dirt, dead skin cells and oil from the scalp and hair follicles. The cleansing process will leave the scalp skin with opened pores where an essence with rich growth factors and skin peptides will be absorbed to nourish and hydrate the scalp and follicles. A nourished and hydrated scalp will eventually improve the health of the scalp and stimulate the growth of hair, resulting in thicker and healthier-looking hair.
