![]() 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.

The most common type of hair loss is a condition called androgenetic alopecia. This type of hair loss can affect both men and women.

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. |
