 Trichology Tests To Help Find The Underlying Issue
By Patti Wood Below are some tests a trichologist will want you to have before you start your treatment: Test 1: They may ask to have your ferritin levels checked along with Iron, Vitamin B, Folic acid, and Vitamin D. What is ferritin? Ferritin is the major iron storage protein of the body. Ferritin levels can be used to indirectly measure the iron levels in the body. Ferritin has the shape of a hollow sphere that permits the entry of a variable amount of iron for storage (as ferric hydroxide phosphate complexes).

 What Are My Hair Loss Treatment Options?
By Patti Wood The most important thing to do before buying lotions and potions online or at drug stores is to visit your doctor, and then visit a trichologist. Many people don’t know what a trichologist is. A trichologist is a trained professional that scientifically studies hair loss and scalp disorders. They fill the large gap between dermatologists and hairdressers. Trichologist’s do not, in any way, medically treat patients; they work closely with your doctor. Treatment 1: A trichologist’s approach is holistic and usually recommends diet, exercise, and nutritional supplements. Hair and scalp treatments also could include the use of Minoxidil, and could include recommending a Doctor for Medication. Treatment 2:  Why You Should Leave Hair Coloring To The Professionals
By Patti Wood First, over the last 35 years I have seen some devastating home hair coloring. Everything from orange, black, green, and grey’s, to bright pink. Bright pink wasn’t even popular in the 1980s.  The Effects of Hair Loss
By Patti Wood The 7 H’s of hair loss are:
The most common type of hair loss is a condition called androgenetic alopecia. This type of hair loss can affect both men and women. Other terms for androgenetic alopecia include “male pattern balding” and “female pattern hair loss.” For many people, losing their hair is a frustrating experience. Fortunately, treatments are available that can help to regrow hair or prevent further hair loss. The hair follicle is a structure that encases the lower part of the hair shaft. Each follicle contains blood vessels that nurture new hair growth. All hair follicles are present at birth; throughout the lifetime, each follicle grows and sheds single hairs in a repetitive cycle. |
