Hair Loss FAQ's
Types of Hair-loss:
There are several types of hair loss, each with distinct causes, patterns, and characteristics. Below is the most common type of hair loss that Restored Wellness can treat:
Androgenic Alopecia (Pattern Hair Loss)
- Description: The most common type of hair loss, often referred to as male-pattern baldness or female-pattern baldness.
- Causes: It is largely hereditary and influenced by hormonal changes, specifically the hormone DHT (dihydrotestosterone), which shrinks hair follicles. Hair loss can also be caused by several medical conditions, including alopecia areata, telogen effluvium and trichotillomania, fungal infections, iron deficiency, certain thyroid issues, and even rapid weight loss. Alopecia areata causes the body’s immune system to attack its own hair follicles. This type of hair loss may be temporary or may need treatment if hair does not grow back. Stress, severe illness, or another traumatic event can cause a temporary hair loss condition called telogen effluvium. Typically, after the stress or shock is reduced, the hair will grow back. Trichotillomania is characterized by compulsive hair-pulling. This condition will last until sufficient mental health treatment is received.
- Pattern:
- Men: Hair loss begins at the temples and crown, eventually leading to a receding hairline and baldness.
- Women: Hair thinning usually occurs at the crown, with a widening of the part but rarely leads to complete baldness.
- Prevalence: Common in men and women, especially as they age.
Medications
- Minoxidil:
This medication works by extending the anagen, or growth phase, of hair and increasing the size of hair follicles. Initially, you may notice an increase in hair shedding as the medication promotes the shedding of telogen (resting phase) hairs, but this effect should resolve within 4-6 weeks of consistent use.Studies indicate that applying 5% topical minoxidil once daily for 24 weeks is well-tolerated and supports hair regrowth in male pattern hair loss, leading to improved scalp coverage and greater hair density.A topical treatment available as a foam or liquid, which stimulates hair growth and slows hair loss. *Also used Orally for Hair loss.
- Finasteride:
DHT is the primary factor behind male pattern hair loss. Finasteride works by inhibiting an enzyme in hair follicles that converts testosterone into DHT, thereby reducing DHT levels in the scalp. This treatment stops hair loss in 90% of patients, with 65% experiencing some hair regrowth while using finasteride. Ongoing use is essential to maintain these results.A prescription oral medication that works by inhibiting a hormone linked to hair loss in men. Often prescribed for male-pattern baldness. Oral Finasteride is FDA approved for hair loss treatment. *Also used Topically for hair loss.
*Oral Minoxidil and Topical Finasteride are not FDA approved for hair loss. While federal law allows the prescription of compounded drugs, they are not FDA-approved and do not undergo safety, effectiveness, or manufacturing review.
