Alopecia Declassified

According to Medicaldictionary.com Alopecia, is commonly defined as hair loss, or baldness. There is no one cause for hair loss; sometimes it is hereditary, or it can be from the toxins in chemotherapy or your daily prescription medicine.

· Anagen Effluvium is due to the harsh toxins used to treat cancer, which cause patches or hair loss, according to Alopeciaonline.org, it typically takes six months for the hair to grow back.

· Telogen Effluvium is the temporary condition that causes average amounts of hair to fall out.

Laser Hair Therapy Machines

Low level laser hair therapy (LLLT) is a revolutionary, non-invasive breakthrough for both men and women suffering the devastating effects of hair loss. Laser hair therapy can give you the thicker, fuller and healthier looking hair you want.

Low level laser light, when applied to the scalp, is one of the newest therapies to treat hair loss. Laser therapies for hair restoration are available through hand-held laser devices that may be used at home, or in a medical setting under a physician's supervision. http://hairfoundation.org/hair-library/article-llt.htm

How LLLT Works:
Low level lasers are "soft" lasers, also known as "cold" lasers, and do not have the thermal-component to cut, burn or vaporize.

A Low Level Laser Hair Therapy solution uses a device that contains therapeutic soft low level light lasers which delivers light energy directly to the scalp.

Laser hair therapy was developed in Europe and used for improving hair volume and hair shaft quality that helps to prolonging the life of your hair color and improving hair colors and perms.

Low level laser light is the compressed light of a wavelength from the cold or red part of the light spectrum of electromagnetic radiation. Natural light is different in it is one precise color. It travels in a straight line, monochromatic and it concentrates its beam of light in a specific location.

High Power VS. Low Level Lasers: 
High power laser can be used to cut through tissue and they also give off heat. Low level laser on the other hand do not give off heat and use photo energy.

For years the leading hair replacement clinics / salons around the globe have used ‘cold-beam’ laser technology to help people that suffer from different hair conditions. We know that Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) works by increasing the blood flow to the areas of the scalp around the hair follicles. This increase blood flow works to encourage hair volume and in-turn, give you healthier looking hair.

The specific type of laser used for low level laser therapy (LLLT) meet the international safety standards and the legislative specification for “non-significant risk” products, and is classified as a Class IIIA cosmetic laser.

Reasons for Men’s Hair Loss

Forty percent of men have some sort of visible hair loss by the time they reach 35 years of age and for over 30 years, the International Hair Restoration Systems has been the number one leading hair replacement clinic in the Jacksonville, Florida area. While many men know what it feels like to lose their hair the reasons behind what caused their hair loss can vary.

Male Pattern Baldness
Male Pattern Baldness is the leading cause of hair loss in men and occurs with men who have a genetic sensitivity to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Hair follicles that are sensitive to DHT begin to shrink, shortening the lifespan of each hair follicle affected, until the follicles stop producing acceptable hair. MPB is generally characterized by a receding hair line and thinning crown. Over time the hair loss progresses to the top of the scalp leaving only a rim or "horseshoe" pattern of hair remaining in the more advanced stages of MPB.

Medications & Treatments 
Certain blood thinners, blood pressure medications, and even some antidepressants have been linked to hair loss. An overdose of vitamin A caused by taking too many vitamin A containing supplements or medications can also trigger hair loss. Radiation therapy and cancer treatments such as chemotherapy can cause hair loss by harming the cells that grow hair.

Stress 
While not as common as Male Pattern Baldness stress is another factor that has been linked to hair loss. There are three types of hair loss that have been associated with high stress levels telogen effluvium, trichotillomania, and alopecia areata. Hair goes through three phases the growth phase, rest phase, and shedding phase. During high stress events your hair can experience a “shock” causing more hair to go into the shedding phase this type of hair loss is called telogen effluvium.
Trichotillomania is an irresistible urge to pull out hair from your scalp, eyebrows or other areas of your body often as a way of dealing with uncomfortable feelings such as stress and tension. Alopecia areata is when the body's immune system attacks the hair follicles causing hair loss.

No matter the cause of your hair loss IHRS will help find the right solution for you.

NEW at IHRS! Hair Regenesis Therapy

Many People have been talking about the latest development in hair restoration therapy, HRT - and now it's available at IHRS! Hair Regenesis Therapy is a state of the art, non surgical, totally natural, form of regenerative medicine which uses the patient’s own blood as an injectable treatment for hair loss. HRT utilizes the patient's nutrient rich plasma to stimulate hair growth by injecting it into the scalp. This solution is suitable for both men and women and has proven successful for many patients.

How HRT Works: 
• Nutrient rich plasma is extracted from the patient’s blood. Vital platelets within the plasma contain growth factors that activate and rejuvenate cells in the body.

• The blood is spun in a centrifuge to isolate the plasma that is enriched with growth factors

• The nutrient rich plasma is then separated and removed from the rest of the blood and placed in a syringe, prepared for procedure

• Anesthesia is applied to the scalp, for a pain free procedure

• Nutrient rich plasma will then be injected into the scalp. And done!

No sedation or any medication is given during the procedure to inhibit the ability to drive or use machinery, unless advised by the patient to do so.

The procedure is so simple you could do it on your lunch break!

The cost of HRT treatment depends on the amount of sessions needed to obtain the desired result. Depending on your level of hair loss, consultants are available to assist you in estimating how many sessions are needed for you.

Results may be noticeable within 90 days, but could take up to a year. HRT can be used alone or safely combined with all other hair therapies such as transplantation, low-level laser therapy and topical and oral treatments.

Advantages of HRT Therapy:
• Simple, non surgical procedure
• Multiple injections:procedure lasting approximately 60-90 minutes
• Safe and reliable results
• Very quick recovery period
• Beautiful and extremely natural looking results! http://www.wellnesskliniek.com/en/hair/prp-treatment-hairloss

Common Reasons for Hair Loss in Women

Have you ever wondered why you are losing hair if your family doesn’t have a history of hair loss? Unfortunately, genetics are not always the culprit behind hair loss — so, what could be causing the loss? At IHRS we care about you and we are committed to finding not only the best treatment that perfectly suits your needs, but also the cause of your problem. The only way to accurately determine the reason for hair loss is by scheduling a FREE hair and scalp analysis at IHRS. In the mean time, we've comprised a list of the causes of hair loss.

Six Factors That May Cause Hair Loss: 
• Heredity (Family History)
• Hormones
• Telogen Effluvium
• Medical Conditions
• Medications
• Unbalanced Diet

Heredity (Family History)
This is the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women that leads to male or female-pattern baldness. Genetics dictates at which age most hair loss starts, its rate and the extent of hair loss. Loss can start as early as puberty. The path in which baldness is likely to follow can be determined by a pattern of hair loss. See the chart below for details.

Hormones
Hormone levels vary when a woman is pregnant, right after giving birth and during menopause. Hormone variations play a major role in the likelihood of hair loss for women because of their influence in hair growth regulation. Another factor may stem from thyroid malfunction, known as Hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism means you have an underactive thyroid gland that produces fewer hormones then it should, ultimately affecting the hair growth cycle.

Telogen Effluvium
This is a phenomenon that happens after traumatic experiences both physically and mentally, such as major surgeries, extreme stress or drastic weight loss. Every person has a 3-phase hair growth cycle, being the growth phase, the rest phase and the shedding phase. When someone goes through a traumatic event, the hair cycle deregulates and pushes more hair into the shedding phase, causing hair loss. This case is noticeable three to six months after the stressful event.

Medical Conditions
Alopecia areata is a type of nonscarring hair loss that happens when the body’s immune system attacks hair follicles causing hair loss. Other medical conditions can be scalp infections such as ringworm, skin disorders that cause scarring alopecia, some types of lupus, sarcoidosis, lichen planus, and hair pulling disorder, also known as trichotillomania, where the person has an irresistible urge to pull hair either from the scalp, eyebrows or other areas.

Medications 
Hair loss can be caused by medications or treatments. Some drugs used to treat arthritis, heart problems, depression, high blood pressure, birth control, and drugs used in chemotherapy can all cause hair loss.

Unbalanced Diet 
Lastly, eating an unbalanced diet can be one of the causes as well. The exaggerated intake of some foods or vitamins, like vitamin A or the lack of consumption of protein, for example, can be triggering hair loss. It is extremely important to have a balanced diet for the proper function of your body and if you don’t know exactly what is good for and required by your body, do not hesitate in seeing a doctor that can give you some advice.

These are just a few of the known factors to cause hair loss in women. We recommend scheduling a free hair and scalp analysis with a hair loss expert at IHRS to accurately determine the reason for loss and the proper hair restoration option for you. Hair4Me.com
