Nutritional, supplements useful in hair loss
Written by:The consultations for hair loss (alopecia) are very frequent in the daily practice of the dermatologist, due to the great importance that currently has the physical appearance, both in men and women. Of the approximately 100,000 hair that contains the scalp, about 100-150 per day are lost, a normal process that is part of the normal life cycle of the hair, which tends to renew, therefore, hair loss does not always indicate an illness.
Patients convinced of their hair loss are advised to perform a wash test at home (Revora test), which consists of collecting all the hair that has fallen for five days without washing the hair and counting and separating it according to its length. This can establish the diagnosis of normal fall versus pathological fall.
Despite this normal fall, there are situations and factors that can increase hair loss.
Causes of female alopecia
There are different types of alopecia depending on the cause that causes it. It is common for specific reasons, such as anemia, postpartum, stress, a past surgical procedure or certain drugs, the hair that is growing well to go suddenly to a phase of no growth and fall. When the problem that produces it is solved, the fall is normalized.
Genetics also plays an important role in hair loss. As well as the level of androgens (male hormones). The fact that the patient's mother or father has suffered from baldness, and hormonal imbalances, can lead to the so-called androgenetic alopecia, which is characterized by a progressive loss of hair, centered in the crown area.
In this type of fall the treatment consists of solutions of minoxidil and / or different androgens. When the hair has been transformed into hair and has been completely lost, you can only perform a surgical treatment, a hair transplant, with good cosmetic results.
Hair transplant
Hair transplant is a surgical procedure that must be performed in the operating room, with local anesthesia, with the patient fully conscious, and manages to repopulate large areas of the scalp.. The results begin to be seen after the third month of treatment. In addition, medical treatment must be maintained after the transplant to ensure better results and more long-term results.
Associated with diseases
The so-called alopecia areata, probably of autoimmune origin (the body produces antibodies that destroy the hair follicles). It is presented as a hair fall in areas, small circles that increase in size and can affect the entire scalp and even all the hair of the body.. The most frequent form is single plate or multiple plates. This typology is associated with other autoimmune diseases such as thyroid, diabetes, pernicious anemia, etc.
Nutricosmetics, beneficial for alopecia
In some cases we can assume imbalances and deficiencies in the diet, and help us with the so-called "nutricosmetics". They are defined as nutritional supplements formed by natural substances, of animal or vegetable origin, which are used orally at different doses, to act directly on the skin and hair.
Hair supplements are going to be useful because they provide the majority of compounds, vitamins, trace elements, biotin, which are necessary for the hair to appear when it grows and to do it in a healthy way, with all its components, and conserving its total structure. They will be responsible for giving the hair a better body, greater volume, better appearance, and this contributes to the overall aesthetics. In general, they are always recommended associated with the treatment of the cause of alopecia. They can also be used in the absence of a specific pathology, in a non-continuous way to provide the hair with all its components, and to achieve a better appearance of the hair.
