Hair loss – when to start worrying?

Hair is a skin appendix that performs many physiological activities. It protects our skin against many mechanical, physical and chemical factors. Hair on the scalp is of great psychosocial importance, they are a natural ornament of man and women.

Every day 70-100 hair falls out, a new hair appears in the place of the hair that has fallen out – which is a normal physiological process. However, when this hair falls much more, it is worth checking what is the cause of hair loss and take an effective fight. Excessive hair loss occurs when the amount of hair during the growth phase is reduced and increased at rest. Knowledge relating to the hair growth phase is of great importance when diagnosing a problem and the effectiveness of treatments.

The hair growth cycle consists of 3 phases:

ANAGEN (growth phase),

CATAGEN (decay phase),

TELOGEN (falling out phase).

Anagen is the active hair growth phase in which about 80-90% of the hair is found.

The matrix cells divide to produce new hair. Hair follicles begin to lengthen until they reach their final length. The phase of hair growth on the head lasts from 3 to 7 years. In other places on the body, the duration of anagen can last from 4-8 weeks and on the face up to 12 weeks.

Catagen is called the transition phase of hair growth. During this stage, the lower part of the root – matrix “freezes” to form a telogen flask. After this time, the hair bulb is detached from the blocking further nutrition this way. At this time, hair is pushed to the scalp. In turn, the lower part of the hair discolours, because melanin is not produced. The catagen phase lasts from 14-21 days covering about 3% of all hair.

Telogen or the last phase called the resting phase. The hair dies and does not undergo any metabolic processes and does not contain melanin. Hair remains completely calloused and slowly comes out of the skin. It can be released spontaneously or under the influence of washing the head or combing. The resting phase lasts about 2-4 months.

There are many causes of hair loss and are often independent of age.

Diagnosing the cause is the basic action to stop excessive hair loss. One of the common causes is chronic stress and improper diet, which causes deficiencies of micro- and macroelements. Improper care also affects the condition of our hair. Incorrectly selected hair and skin care preparations with a high content of SLS, SLES or foaming agents that strongly dry the scalp. Exposing hair to high temperatures, mainly a dryer and straightener. Too frequent hair binding – the scalp tightens and damages the hair follicles. Hormonal disorders such as hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism are another common cause. With hyperthyroidism, alopecia is common. In women, a decrease in post-menopausal estrogen levels affects hair loss, whereas in women after pregnancy temporary hair loss occurs. Smoking cigarettes also contributes to baldness, because tobacco smoke causes damage to the hair and ultimately hair loss.

If the problem of excessive baldness arose, the cause was diagnosed and appropriate treatment steps were taken.

It is worth remembering the beauty salons that offer us a large range of treatments supporting the treatment. One of the effective treatments supporting excessive hair loss and improving hair condition is needle mesotherapy of the scalp.

The treatment consists of applying a concentrated preparation to the scalp, stimulating blood circulation, revitalizing the hair follicles and stopping the hair loss process. One of the best preparations available is a product of Korean origin – DR CYJ.

Biomimetic peptides are produced in external conditions by biochemical synthesis. The method is an advantage of this preparation. It maintains absolute purity and stability of the product which protects us against possible allergies and irritations.

DR product. CYJ Hair Filler is based on the technology of prolonged release of active substances – up to 2 weeks after the treatment the product stays in the scalp. An ideal treatment for both men and women. The complete treatment program includes a series of 4 treatments every 2 weeks.
