What hair loss treatments are available?<\/h2>\n

Hair loss treatments fall into two main categories:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Non-surgical medical treatments<\/li>\n
  2. Hair transplantation<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The choice depends primarily on the cause of alopecia, the condition of the hair and the medical assessment.<\/strong> In many cases, the aim is to strengthen existing hair before considering surgery.<\/p>\n

    Non-surgical options include:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Pharmacological treatments<\/li>\n
    2. Scalp mesotherapy<\/li>\n
    3. Growth factors<\/li>\n
    4. Cytokines<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      These treatments aim to strengthen existing hair and address certain types of hair loss.<\/p>\n

      A hair transplant<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, meanwhile, involves transferring hair from a donor area to another area of the scalp where hair density has decreased<\/strong>. It may be considered when strengthening treatments do not achieve sufficient hair restoration.<\/p>\n\"Solicita<\/picture><\/a>\n

      Why does hair loss occur and how is the cause identified?<\/h2>\n

      Hair loss can have several causes, although the most common, accounting for approximately 87% of cases, is androgenetic alopecia<\/strong>, which is associated with the action of androgens, a group of hormones that includes testosterone.<\/p>\n

      Hair loss can also be associated with stress and seasonal changes, a condition known as telogen effluvium<\/strong>, which can be acute or chronic.<\/p>\n

      To guide the diagnosis, it is important to establish when the hair loss began, how it has progressed and whether it coincides with periods of stress or other changes. This information, together with a scalp examination, helps identify the most likely cause and select the appropriate treatment.<\/p>\n

      Although androgenetic alopecia has a genetic component, it is primarily associated with hormonal factors.<\/p>\n

      In short, not all types of hair loss should be treated in the same way. The first step is to determine what is happening in each individual case.<\/p>\n

      What does a medical hair assessment involve?<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

      A medical hair assessment includes:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Reviewing the patient’s medical history<\/li>\n
      2. A consultation to help identify the cause of hair loss<\/li>\n
      3. An examination of the scalp and hair shafts<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        It may also include trichoscopy, a microscopic examination technique that allows the condition of the scalp and hair to be assessed in greater detail.<\/p>\n

        Trichoscopy makes it possible to examine aspects such as the condition of the hair follicle openings and the characteristics of the hair shaft. The information gathered during the consultation and examinations helps guide the diagnosis and determine which treatment may be most appropriate for each patient.<\/p>\n

        Non-surgical hair loss treatments: medical and complementary options<\/h2>\n

        Non-surgical hair treatments aim to address hair loss and help strengthen existing hair<\/strong>. Available options include:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Oral medication<\/li>\n
        2. Scalp mesotherapy<\/li>\n
        3. Growth factors<\/li>\n
        4. Cytokines<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          The choice depends on the cause of hair loss and the findings of the medical assessment.<\/p>\n

          Pharmacological treatments for hair loss<\/h3>\n

          Pharmacological treatments are among the main options for addressing hair loss<\/strong>, particularly in certain types of alopecia. The choice of treatment may differ between men and women<\/strong> depending on the characteristics of each case.<\/p>\n

          In androgenetic alopecia, some treatments act on the hormonal mechanisms involved in the weakening of hair follicles. The aim is to regulate the action of androgens to reduce their harmful effects on the follicles and help preserve existing hair.<\/p>\n

          Pharmacological treatments can be administered orally or topically and are particularly indicated for androgenetic alopecia<\/strong>. Their aim is to slow the progression of hair loss, help preserve existing hair and improve hair density when functional follicles are still present.<\/p>\n

          Depending on the specialist’s assessment, different medications may be considered. Treatment selection must be individualised, as not every medication is suitable for every patient.<\/p>\n

          Hair growth factors<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n

          This treatment involves applying a concentrate obtained from the patient’s own blood that contains growth factors. These factors are involved in cellular signalling processes and may help stimulate cellular activity and improve the environment in which hair grows<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

          The aim is to promote scalp biostimulation and the formation of blood vessels that help nourish the hair follicles<\/strong>. This improves the conditions needed for healthy hair growth.<\/p>\n

          The procedure begins with a blood sample, which is then processed through centrifugation to obtain a concentrate of growth factors. At Cl\u00ednica Planas, we combine this treatment with hypoxia<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, which involves reducing oxygen concentrations during treatment under the supervision of our medical team. This procedure aims to stimulate the release of growth factors.<\/p>\n
