The first thing you need to do is consult a physician. Depending on whether you are male or female, hair loss may be totally normal at your age, with the onset of pattern baldness. Pattern baldness is a genetic condition, but can be exacerbated by excessive stress, poor blood circulation, poor diet, pregnancy (in the case of women), drug use, illness, thyroid issues, etc. You need to consult your doctor to find out the cause of your hair loss, and from there, you will likely be able to obtain a solution.
Getting to the root cause of your hairloss would be the first thing to do as if you have an underlying medical condition, once thats treated, it could reverse the hairloss, so definately get a consultation with a physician to rule out anything treatable. Next steps is likely getting a prescription for finasteride and topical minoxidil- using these medications under the supervision of a doctor is best.
Hello,İf your hair loss is not on very high levels you can get the tratment of finasteride and minoxidil. However if its on the high levels than you can get a hair transplant.
If you are losing hair and want treatment options you should schedule a consultation with a doctor.
First and foremost I would see a hair treatment specialist or a doctor that treats hair loss. In general there are at least 5 basic treatments in different combinations used to treat hair loss and they are:1) Nutritional support Supplementing the body with minerals and vitamins that support hair growth in conjunction with shampoos/conditioners and sprays that help reduce hair damage.2) Low intensity laser therapy that helps improve the blood supply to the hair follicles and improves metabolism in the telogen phase(resting phase) and the catagen phase( shedding phase) which helps in the production of hair in the anlagen phase(growth phase)3) using topical medications like minoxidil and finasteride 4) PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma which is derived from ones on blood. Blood is removed from the patient, spun in a special centrifuge, platelets are separated from other blood components and are injected into the scalp. By doing so once the platelets are injected they release growth factors that improve blood circulation to the hair follicles, revitalize and repair damaged tissue. 5) Hair transplantation is the final solution for patients that have gone completely or partially bald.There other emerging treatment modalities that can help people with hair loss, but the most basic ones are the ones I've enumerated above.
Hair loss can be very concerning for many patients, particularly when it occurs at a young age. At 18, a visit to a physician who is knowledgeable about hair loss would be the best starting point. This may be a hair restoration surgeon, facial plastic surgeon, or dermatologist. Even some primary doctors are knowledgeable about hair loss. A workup and evaluation for any medical issues that might be causing hair loss would be important. A family history of hair loss would also be very important to obtain.If all of these things point to androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss) as the cause, then treatments aimed at slowing or stopping the hair loss process would be recommended. These might include minoxidil, finasteride, PRP injections, or other topical therapies. A hair transplant may be an option at some point, but not until the early 20's at the very earliest.All the best,
The best thing to do is schedule an appointment with you doctor and make sure there is no medical conditions resulting in this hair loss. If it is a permanent hair loss, you may want to consider a hair restoration procedure to cure your hair loss.
The most important thing to do is to make sure that there are no medical reasons for the hair loss. A session with your doctor will usually be enough to make sure that other causes are ruled out.After this, there are methods commonly used to prevent hair loss, such as topical minoxidil (Rogaine) or finasteride tablets. A qualified doctor can also screen to see if these could be an option.Next, there are non-surgical hair regrowth methods, such as our PRP hair restoration technique that we commonly use to regrow hair in eligible clients.Surgery should be a final option but I would exhaust every other possibility first.
Hi there! Thanks for your question. The number one first step I recommend is a comprehensive consultation with a hair regrowth specialist who will perform lab tests to determine the underlying cause of your thinning. Without labs, no-one can really know what your true cause is and any treatment will be temporary at best. From here, you can receive the best treatment for your case.It is also worth noting that any medicine that actually can make changes inside your body, are required under the FDA to be available by prescription only. This therefore means that it is not possible for anything that does not require a prescription to cure or prevent hair loss or regrow thinning hair. Thus, a personalized medicine will be the best choice because instead of a "one size fits all" approach, you will be taking something which is truly catered to your body's needs.The treatment is out there. Good luck on your search.
The first priority should be to identify the cause - see your doctor, a dermatologist and/or a Hair Restoration specialist.
What you have is called Traction Alopecia. Hair restoration surgery is the only option you have to help replace the hair that was lost due to extreme tension. Make sure to visit a hair specialist so you can come up with a gameplan to get your hair back.
