Hair Loss
Hair loss can happen to anyone at some point in their lives. It means less hair, causing thinning or no hair in places where it usually grows well.
Hair loss can occur in various visible patterns. These include a receding hairline, bald patches (Alopecia areata), or overall thinning of the hair on the head (Traction alopecia).
The root causes of hair loss are diverse and numerous and not just something that happens with age. For some, the onset might be gradual, spanning several years, while for others, it could be alarmingly rapid. Genetics and certain medical conditions contribute a pivotal role in determining one's susceptibility. Hormonal fluctuations, such as those experienced during pregnancy, menopause, or due to thyroid imbalances, can also precipitate hair thinning. Prolonged stress, prolonged Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) exposure, scalp infections, poor nutrition, or exposure to certain chemicals and medications, can further exacerbate the condition.
Beyond the physical manifestation, the psychological ramifications of hair loss are profound. It can lead to diminished self-confidence, heightened self-consciousness, and in severe cases, social withdrawal or depression.
Hair loss affects self-esteem and identity, going beyond just appearance. The process of dealing with hair loss involves various emotions such as frustration, denial, self-consciousness, and acceptance. At Identity+ Aesthetics, we understand how hair loss affects people mentally and physically. Our approach considers both aspects of this condition.
Our commitment goes beyond merely offering treatments. We believe in empowering our clients with knowledge, helping them understand the root causes, and debunking myths surrounding hair loss. We create trust and open communication so clients are informed, confident, and involved in their treatment decisions.
In a world where hair loss is often stigmatised, we at Identity+ Aesthetics aim to shift the narrative. We want to change hair loss conversations from sad to hopeful and positive. By using advanced treatments, education, and caring, we hope to bring renewal and optimism to those affected.
Prevention Tips from Identity Plus
Prevention is just as crucial as treatment. While hair loss can sometimes be inevitable due to genetic factors, there are steps one can take to minimise its impact. Here are our expert-recommended strategies:
Regular Scalp Massages
Incorporating scalp massages into your routine can stimulate blood flow, nourishing hair follicles and promoting healthier hair growth. Incorporating redlight (within 620-650nm wavelengths) therapy can further stimulate active hair follicles, revitalise dormant hair follicles reduce inflammation, and improve scalp blood flow.
Balanced Diet
A nutrient-rich diet plays a pivotal role in hair health. Focus on foods that are rich in important vitamins and minerals. These include biotin, vitamin E, and iron. These nutrients are known to help with hair growth and strength.
Lighter Chemical Exposure
Avoid using harsh chemicals (such as Sodium laureth sulfate containing hair products) and heated styling tools, as they can cause damage and breakage accumulating over time and making hair more susceptible to falling out.
Manage Stress
Chronic stress can be a significant contributor to hair loss. Incorporating relaxation techniques such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or yoga can help manage stress levels, indirectly benefiting hair health.
Regular check-ups
With hair experts can detect early signs of hair thinning or scalp problems. This allows for early treatment and better management.
