Why Am I Losing Hair ?

Hair is constantly renewed. The life cycle of hair is about five years for women and three years for men. Hair grows during the first phase, known as the “anagen” phase, then stabilizes during the “catagen” and “telogen” phases, before shedding in the “exogen” phase. On average, we lose around 100 hairs a day. Excessive shedding can be identified by a noticeable amount of hair on clothing.

Various factors can exacerbate this process, leading to thinning areas. This condition, called alopecia, occurs when hair follicles no longer function properly. Several causes include :

  • Genetic predisposition and heredity
  • Hormonal changes, particularly during puberty and menopause
  • Stress and lack of sleep
  • Aging
  • Certain medications
  • Skin trauma
  • Nutritional deficiencies

What Is Alopecia ?

Alopecia is the medical term for hair loss. It can be scarring, meaning it results from the destruction of hair follicles, or it can occur due to a slowdown in hair growth without damage to the follicles.

There are different types of alopecia :

  • Androgenetic Alopecia : Caused by a hormonal imbalance in the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for hair growth. It is very common, affecting 70% of men and 57% of women over 80 years old.
  • Alopecia Areata : This refers to sudden hair loss in a localized area. It can be caused by an autoimmune condition or affect those with a genetic predisposition. The environmental factors triggering this condition remain poorly understood.
  • Telogen Effluvium : Causes are varied and include hormonal shifts (postpartum, oral contraceptives), medications (chemotherapy, antibiotics), stress, or nutritional deficiencies.
  • Scarring Alopecia : A result of infection (like scalp ringworm) or trauma (burns, radiotherapy, trichotillomania).
  • Traction Alopecia : Caused by excessive tension on the hair from tight hairstyles over long periods.

Mesotherapy for Hair Loss by Dr. Aimé

Mesotherapy is one of the most common aesthetic treatments for preventing hair loss. It involves injecting nutrient-rich substances into the scalp. The vitamins and minerals provided enhance hair growth by nourishing the follicles. This stimulates the follicles, allowing them to function normally again. Hair regrows stronger and denser. This method is highly effective and minimally invasive.

Hydrafacial Keravive Treatment

The Hydrafacial Keravive treatment is an excellent solution for rejuvenating an unhealthy scalp. This technique combines multiple treatments, starting with a deep scalp cleansing and exfoliation to remove dead cells. This step improves blood circulation. Next, Keravive infuses the scalp with nourishing ingredients. These boosters stimulate hair regeneration and scalp hydration, encouraging new hair growth.

Results After Mesotherapy for Restoring Hair Density

Following the treatment, you will notice a visible improvement in hair volume. Both mesotherapy and Hydrafacial Keravive combat hair loss by revitalizing hair follicles. They enhance the scalp’s natural ability to produce keratin and stimulate blood vessels. After several sessions, significant hair densification can be observed, effectively countering the effects of alopecia and ensuring healthy, strong hair.
