Treatment may involve hair growth stimulants such as minoxidil and hormone blockers. The goal of the treatment is to stop the process and recover some of the loss.

"Although the genetic cause is thought to be linked to men, it is not exclusive, as it can lead to female androgenetic alopecia as well. they present themselves, "adds Sonia Maturana.

Scarring hair loss

Scarring hair loss implies permanent destruction of the follicles and causes irreversible hair loss. It is caused at primary and secondary levels. Being primary means that the hair follicles have undergone a destructive inflammatory reaction, and if secondary, it means that the follicle was not specifically attacked, but rather that other problems occurred, such as burns, radiation, or tumors.While some people only report hair loss alone in this condition, others claim to experience symptoms parallel to hair loss such as itching, tenderness, burning, redness and even plaque formation.

If diagnosed early, be treated with antibiotics, anti-inflammatories or corticosteroids. Already in the advanced stages, drug treatment is also performed to stabilize the evolution of the disease. If within two years the hair loss is stabilized, it is possible to perform surgical procedures such as the hair implant.

How is the treatment for hair loss

This causes a bleeding and, with it, the signaling of platelets, which help to contain the bleeding. With this activation, a production of growth factors begins and, as a result, a stimulus for cells such as fibroblasts to form collagen (protein that gives support to the skin) and keratinocytes produce keratin, the protein that forms hair, skin and nails

Capillary Carboxytherapy

Capillary Carboxytherapy is the technique that uses injectable medical carbonic gas in the scalp, in order to increase blood supply to the root of the hair and stimulate the hair follicles.

Treatment consists of an injection of carbon dioxide directly into the dermis, the second layer of the skin, by means of an insulin needle (extremely thin) connected to a catheter that is connected to a cylinder containing the gas. A few holes are made along the scalp, after proper asepsis. As the scalp is a very sensitive region, the treatment can be done with topical anesthesia, in the form of creams.

Dermatological-functional physiotherapy

Dermato-functional physiotherapy is a type of treatment that can act both in prevention and in treatment for the fall of hair. In it are used cosmetics and manual techniques to stimulate the health of the hair and the scalp. In addition, low intensity light therapy (red / infrared light 600 to 1,400nm wavelength) may be an option as there is some evidence that this treatment stimulates follicle growth.

Most treatments for hair fall are done in clinics. However, there may be exceptions for more serious cases requiring surgical or drug intervention.
