Everything You Need to Know About Hair Loss

Hair loss is a major problem for millions of people around the world, affecting their confidence and self-esteem. While some people experience hair loss as a natural part of the aging process, it can still be a distressing experience.

At Medical Village in Dubai, we understand how important your hair is to your identity, which is why we provide modern options, such as the groundbreaking Folix Laser, to efficiently treat hair loss. Here’s everything you need to know about hair loss, including its causes and treatments.

The Basics of Hair Loss

Hair loss, also known as alopecia, happens when the natural cycle of shedding and regrowth is disturbed. It is typical to shed 50-100 hairs every day, but excessive shedding might result in obvious thinning or bald patches. Hair loss affects both men and women and can be temporary or permanent, depending on the cause.

What Causes Hair Loss?

Hair loss can be caused by several factors, including:

Genetics: Androgenetic alopecia, often known as male or female pattern baldness, is strongly linked to family history and genetics.
Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, menopause, and disorders such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) can cause hair thinning.
Stress: Physical or emotional stress can cause temporary hair loss, also known as telogen effluvium.
Nutritional Deficiencies: A lack of key nutrients such as biotin, iron, and zinc damages hair follicles.
Medical Conditions: Autoimmune illnesses such as alopecia areata, thyroid difficulties, and scalp infections can all cause hair loss.

Common Types of Hair Loss

Some common types of hair loss are:

Androgenetic Alopecia: Androgenetic alopecia is a hereditary hair loss condition that causes a receding hairline or thinning crown.
Alopecia Areata: An autoimmune response that causes patchy hair loss.
Telogen Effluvium: A temporary shedding caused by stress, disease, or treatment.
Traction Alopecia: This hair loss is caused by hairstyles that pull tightly on the scalp.

Ways to Stop Hair Loss

Preventing hair loss requires keeping a healthy lifestyle and caring for your scalp. Here are some things you can do:

Consume a diet high in biotin, zinc, and iron.
Avoid using harsh hairstyles and heavy heat styling.
Use relaxation strategies to manage your stress.
To encourage healthy hair growth, keep your scalp clean and hydrated on a regular basis.
Get preventative treatments to promote hair growth and health.
