Hair
loss is a common condition seen from age Group of 18 to80yrs.A part from causing
psychological disturbance it causes agedappearance.Almost50%of men by the age
of 50yrs experience baldness and 4o% of women by the age group of 50yrs experience
some amount of hair loss.
Drug
therapy has been the standard protocol for ages. Though FDA approved some of
the medications Like Fenestrae have potential side effects.
The
other standard treatment for advanced hair loss is Hair
Transplantation. Both FUT [follicular unit
transplantation] and FUE [Follicular unit extraction] are approved treatments and
give good results in selected individuals. It’s permanent solution baldness.
Nevertheless early treatment in the form of oral supplementation with good
quality
Supplements
and vitamins are very effective in hair regrowth.
Stem cell therapies
are the new kid on the block. Most people confuse serum treatments with stem cell treatments.
These only contain commercially processed growth factors and no live cells
atall.Growth factor treatments work by delivering the growth factors to the
follicles. They prevent hair fall and inhibit 5-alpha reductase.
Another
new treatment in the hair
regeneration therapy is PLATERICH PLASMA. This treatment is
done using the clients own blood and platerich plasma is separated. This has to
be activated through a special process and reinjected into the bald areas; the
process has to be repeated in4 weekly intervals to get good results.
The
more advanced way of cell based therapy is STEMCELL extraction, here stem cells
are extracted from the same individual through a patented process, and
reinjected into bald area and also given systemically. These treatments require
multiple sittings but the advantage is once extracted they can be cultured.
HAIR
CLONING is a futuristic therapy is still in experimental stage. In this process
a few hair follicles are taken from the back of scalp and cultured in vitro and
after period of 17 to 21 days they are retransplanted. Success rate is yet to
be established.
Therefore early diagnosis of hair fall and
proper protection goes long way in preventing raising incidence of baldness.
