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

NeoGraft™ Hair Transplantation at IHRS

International Hair Restoration Systems is proud to offer Surgical Hair Restoration as a permanent solution for men with thinning hair. With more than 30 years of experience, IHRS has the best professionals in the field to perform Surgical Hair Transplantation.

At IHRS our approach to hair transplantation for each client is different. We begin by offering a FREE evaluation to accurately determine if you are eligible to undergo the procedure and/or if surgical hair transplantation is the best route for optimum results. Once our hair loss expert determines that you are a candidate for hair transplantation, we customize the procedure based on your age, hair type, health, the degree of hair loss and overall expectations.

During the transplant procedure, the doctor removes hair from the "donor area" of the patient’s head and transplants them into the area of the scalp with loss. The "donor area" consists of hairs genetically pre-determined not to fall out, making them the ideal candidates for transplantation! IHRS's NeoGraft™ Procedure can move four to six times as much hair as the standard approach, using follicular unit grafts throughout, producing a completely natural result. Learn more by visiting Hair4Me.com.

Take the first step by scheduling your FREE hair and scalp analysis to find out if you're a candidate for Surgical Hair Transplantation or one of our other professional hair restoration options! Hair4Me.com

ReAllusions Hair Replacement for Women at IHRS!

REALLUSIONS® HAIR REPLACEMENT FOR WOMEN is the solution to women suffering from thinning hair and hair loss. It is a non-surgical hair replacement technology designed specifically for women that offers a permanent solution to thinning hair.

ReAllusions has proven extremely effective in the treatment of inherited hair loss as well as hair loss due to accidents, systemic disorder, or medical treatments such as chemotherapy. ReAllusions is virtually undetectable and offers a natural appearing front hairline while adding density to the hair.

Now, you must be wondering what exactly this incredible treatment does? Well, ReAllusions uses a new and improved non-invasive skin like membrane implanted to your scalp's own layers of skin. ReAllusions is seamless between your own growing hair and the hair that has been reconstructed and is undetectable to both touch and sight.

Unlike conventional surgical hair restoration, ReAllusions does not require a “donor” area because it is not a surgical procedure and does not use chemicals. The ReAllusions hair system can also be used to provide additional hair to those who have already undergone hair replacement surgery but are still looking for more fullness and density. However, not everyone who suffers from female hair loss is a viable candidate. Possible candidates can only be determined by a free 30-minute evaluation performed at IHRS.

If you have female pattern baldness, alopecia or suffer from burns and scars, then ReAllusions' ability to replace hair in any area of the scalp, and create a totally natural hairline makes the perfect solution to your hair loss.

Men’s Hair Loss

Over 50 million men suffer from the devastating effects of hair loss in the U.S. alone. While factors such as stress, medications, poor diet, and even lack of sleep can cause men to lose their hair, the largest influence is genetics.

Androgenetic Alopecia, more commonly known as Male Pattern Baldness is the most common cause of hair loss in men. Male pattern baldness is usually caused by increased sensitivity to male sex hormones in certain parts of the scalp and is passed from one family member to the next. This means you inherited hair follicles that suffer from dihydrotestosterone or DHT for short, these hair follicles shrink until the follicles stop producing hair.

According to the American Hair Loss Association, male pattern baldness is responsible for approximately 95% of men’s hair loss. About 25% of men who suffer from male pattern baldness will start to experience hair loss before they reach the age of 21. Nearly two-thirds of American men will experience some form of visible hair loss by the age of 35 and by the age of 50 approximately 85% of men have significantly thinning hair. See the diagram below.

Male pattern baldness is identified by the pattern of hair loss. The typical pattern of male baldness begins at the hairline, and gradually recedes until forming an "M" shape. Eventually the hair becomes finer, shorter, and thinner, creating a u-shaped ring of hair that wraps around the back of the head.

While male pattern baldness is usually diagnosed based on appearance, your hair loss could be caused by many other reasons.

Laser Hair Therapy & dhtSENSOR at IHRS

There are so many reasons why we’re losing our hair, including stress, hair styles, scalp disorders, menopause, medications, even what we eat. Nevertheless, at International Hair Restoration Systems in Jacksonville, we are dedicated to providing hair loss solutions for men and women that appear so natural, both to the eye as well as to the touch, that there is simply no reason to suffer from hair loss any longer.

Low Level Laser Hair Therapy (LLLT) is a revolutionary, non-invasive breakthrough for men and women suffering from hair loss. Using low level laser light, Laser Hair Therapy helps stimulate blood flow around the hair follicles in the scalp. This increase in blood flow encourages hair volume and in-turn, gives you more healthier looking hair. This treatment may not only give you thicker, fuller, and healthier hair but LLLT may also help prolong the life of your hair color and perms.  

Many of our clients achieve results after just five or six treatments, however, some clients have said that they’ve experienced improvement after 10-12 treatments. Laser Hair Therapy is known to be especially effective when used in combination with a hair loss control program such as our own dhtSENSOR.  

Our dhtSENSOR is an easy-to-use, clinically-tested hair loss prevention program designed to help control excessive hair loss, stimulate hair growth, improve the quality and condition of your scalp, minimize hair loss, and enhance the appearance of thin looking hair.

What Are The Benefits of Laser Hair Therapy Treatment?
• Laser Therapy may increases the blood supply to the scalp by 54% after only one treatment.
• For 85% of patients, Laser Hair Therapy has helped stop the progression of hair loss
• Increased hair strength.
• Get more full and shinier hair.
• Laser treatments have shown to greatly help newly transplanted hair by increasing the healing process.
• Laser Hair Therapy can repair damage caused by chemical services.

We have found that men and women who are in the early stages of hair loss benefit the most from low level laser hair therapy treatments. At IHRS in Jacksonville, we are recognized experts in the practice and administration of Laser Hair Therapy and we can help advise you to see if laser therapy is the right option for your type of hair loss.

FUT & FUE - What's The Difference?

Forty percent of men have some sort of visible hair loss by the time they reach 35 years of age. At International Hair Restoration Systems, we offer safe and effective procedures that can treat male pattern baldness such as hair transplantation. We offer the traditional Follicular Unit Transfer (FUT) transplant method and our NeoGraft Hair Transplant System that uses a more minimally invasive Follicular Unit Extraction technique (FUE).

Follicular Unit Transfer (FUT) -

The FUT method involves surgically removing a section of the scalp from the donors head, also called the "strip method". Once the hair follicles are extracted from the donor strip, they are redistributed across the scalp. While scarring is minimal, this technique leaves a linear scar that makes shorter hair styles difficult. Even though this procedure has a longer recovery time, the results include greater coverage, density, and a natural, age-appropriate-looking hair line.


Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) -

With the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method there is no need to excise a piece of the scalp because the hair follicles are removed directly and individually from the donor area. Since this technique doesn't involve removing a strip of skin from the scalp, clients have the benefit of no incision marks or visible scarring, leaving little to no risk of complications. There is very little recovery time, less activity limitations, and the results are said to look much more natural than the traditional strip method.

No matter what procedure our clients choose our clinic concentrates exclusively on performing the best hair transplantation procedures possible. At IHRS, we place the highest priority on quality and personalized patient care and services. We like to extend every courtesy to our clients and patients to ensure a pleasant, and comfortable hair restoration procedure that will give them the hair they want.
