Hair Growth
What causes hair loss?
​
​Hair loss can be caused by many factors, often a combination of internal and external influences. The most common include:
-
Genetics (hereditary hair loss / androgenetic alopecia) – the leading cause in both men and women.
-
Hormonal changes – pregnancy, menopause, thyroid imbalance, or high androgens.
-
Stress – physical or emotional stress can trigger temporary shedding (telogen effluvium).
-
Nutritional deficiencies – lack of iron, protein, zinc, or vitamins (esp. vitamin D and B12).
-
Medical conditions – autoimmune diseases (like alopecia areata), scalp infections, or chronic illness.
-
Medications – chemotherapy, blood pressure drugs, antidepressants, etc.
-
Hairstyling habits – frequent bleaching, heat styling, or tight hairstyles (traction alopecia).
-
Aging – natural thinning as follicles shrink and regenerate slower.
How to treat hair loss?
​
Treating hair loss depends on the underlying cause, but in aesthetics and wellness practice (like Mediskin), it usually combines medical treatments, lifestyle adjustments, and advanced therapies. Here’s a structured breakdown:
1. Medical Treatments
-
Minoxidil (topical spray/foam) – stimulates hair follicles, suitable for both men & women.
-
Finasteride (oral, for men only) – blocks DHT hormone that causes male-pattern baldness.
-
Anti-androgen therapy (for women) – spironolactone, oral contraceptives (under doctor supervision).
​
2. Aesthetic & Regenerative Therapies
-
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) – uses growth factors from your own blood to stimulate follicles.
-
Exosome therapy – next-generation regenerative treatment that activates dormant hair follicles.
-
Mesotherapy – micro-injections of vitamins, peptides, and scalp boosters.
-
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) – improves scalp blood circulation.
3. Wellness & Lifestyle
-
Nutrition optimization – iron, vitamin D, zinc, biotin, protein.
-
Stress management – meditation, exercise, sleep.
-
Scalp care – gentle shampoo, avoid harsh chemicals, keep scalp healthy.
