Hair Loss Treatments from Dermatologists – Diagnosis and Methodology

Diagnosis

Before making a diagnosis, your doctor will likely give you a physical exam and ask about your diet, your hair care routine, and your medical and family history. You might also have tests, such as the following:

• Blood test. This might help uncover medical conditions that can cause hair loss.
• Pull test. Your doctor gently pulls several dozen hairs to see how many come out. This helps determine the stage of the shedding process.
• Scalp biopsy. Your doctor scrapes samples from the skin or from a few hairs plucked from the scalp to examine the hair roots under a microscope. This can help determine whether an infection is causing hair loss.
• Light microscopy. Your doctor uses a special instrument to examine hairs trimmed at their bases.
• Microscopy helps uncover possible disorders of the hair shaft.

How to treat pathological hair loss?

The most common hair loss treatment methods today are drug treatment, needle roller technique with PRP.

Needle roller combined with PRP (platelet-rich serum)

The method of improving hair loss by needle roller with platelet-rich plasma PRP (plasma isolated from the customer’s own) was developed in 2014 and quickly became popular with experts today. It is shown that this hair loss treatment is effective in improving hair loss, baldness, and helps patients quickly grow back hair.

From the first hair loss treatment, the scalp is stimulated to increase blood supply to areas of the skin where hair is absent or where a lot of hair loss is occurring, which makes the hair visibly stronger, Hair follicles on the scalp also appear after treatment.

In the later visits, patients can clearly see an improvement in the scalp area, and hair loss is also significantly improved after applying this method.

There have been many proofs that the PRP needle roller method is effective in improving hair loss and baldness.

Medication

If your hair loss is caused by an underlying disease, treatment for that disease will be necessary. If a certain medication is causing the hair loss, your doctor may advise you to stop using it for a few months.
Medications are available to treat pattern (hereditary) baldness. The most common options include:

Minoxidil (Rogaine). Over-the-counter (nonprescription) minoxidil comes in liquid, foam and shampoo forms. To be most effective, apply the product to the scalp skin once daily for women and twice daily for men. Many people prefer the foam applied when the hair is wet.

Products with minoxidil help many people regrow their hair or slow the rate of hair loss or both. It’ll take at least six months of treatment to prevent further hair loss and to start hair regrowth. It may take a few more months to tell whether the treatment is working for you. If it is helping, you’ll need to continue using the medicine indefinitely to retain the benefits.

Possible side effects include scalp irritation and unwanted hair growth on the adjacent skin of the face and hands.

Finasteride (Propecia). This is a prescription drug for men. You take it daily as a pill. Many men taking finasteride experience a slowing of hair loss, and some may show new hair growth. It may take a few months to tell whether it’s working for you. You’ll need to keep taking it to retain any benefits. Finasteride may not work as well for men over 60.

Rare side effects of finasteride include diminished sex drive and sexual function and an increased risk of prostate cancer. Women who are or may be pregnant need to avoid touching crushed or broken tablets.

Other medications. Other oral options include spironolactone (Carospir, Aldactone) and oral dutasteride (Avodart).
