Hair loss starts with hair thinning which may eventually lead to complete baldness. The term Alopecia areata refers to hair thinning on the scalp white alopecia totalis refers to complete hair loss or baldness on the scalp. Hair regrowth in early stages is possible and it is very easy if proper hair treatment options, medication and remedies are employed.
If in spite of initial symptoms, one neglects the symptoms, it will certainly lead to complete baldness of scalp in a few months since the hair thinning process started. Options of hair growth fall into two categories depending upon the stages of hair loss.
Your dermatologist diagnosis the causes and estimate if the hair loss is initial or it is chronic. After the diagnosis he may point out that, it is:
Initial Hair Loss (Alopecia areata)
In cases of hair thinning or hair loss patches, it is considered as beginning of hair loss. Treating hair thinning for hair regrowth or hair restoration is easy and not so expensive. If proper treatment is followed, a person may regain its hair within few weeks to few months. For treating initial stage hair loss, your dermatologist will diagnose its possible causes. Hair thinning is usually caused by lack of nutrients in your diet, overproduction DHT (dihydrotestosterone), stress, side effects of certain medicines etc. Your dermatologist may prescribe oral nutritional supplements to provide your hair and hair follicles with essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids. If it is causes due to stress and depression, you may be prescribed with antidepressants etc. Excess of DHT is also a fundamental causes of hair loss in males. It happens when excessive testosterone is produced and converted into DHT. The more production of testosterone, the more DHT is produced. There are many prescription medications that inhibit excessive production of dihydrotestosterone. These are few treatment options for hair regrowth at initial stages.
Chronic Hair Loss
Treating hair baldness at this stage happens to be difficult for successful hair regrowth, although there are many treatment options available like hair follicle grafting and transplantation etc. These options are not only expensive but also painful and uncomfortable. In most cases, hair is regrown successful by hair follicle transplantation or grafting but it is said that hair loss reoccurs even after surgical grafting. Many dermatologist interprets it that if the root cause of chronic hair loss is autoimmune disorder or excess of DHT, follicle grafting is not persistent solution. Autoimmune disorder sometimes targets specific area of scalp. The most tarted area loses all hairs while other areas have few living follicles. When follicles are transplanted to a the most targeted area, they again become died gradually. Unlike hair transplantation, laser hair treatment involves high energy laser rays to stimulate existing hair follicles.
Conclusion
Hair can be regrown successfully in initial stages. In cases of chronic hair loss, hair follicles die and no hair shaft is produced. Laser rays stimulate hair follicles to produce hair shafts. Your dermatologist may prescribe herbal supplement that contains essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids for healthy hair regrowth in the initial stages but may suggest something more drastic as the problem becomes chronic.
