minoxidil adalah satu penyelesaian yang paling popular di mana minoxidil disapu terus kepada kulit kepala untuk merangsang folikel rambut .

Rogaine melambatkan kehilangan rambut untuk ramai manusia, dan beberapa lelaki tumbuh rambut baru .

Keguguran rambut kembali apabila anda berhenti menggunakan ubat ini.

Finasteride ( Propecia , proscar )

Ubat ini diluluskan FDA untuk digunakan dalam hanya lelaki dengan kehilangan rambut androgenic.

Walaupun tidak diluluskan FDA di kalangan wanita, ia telah digunakan “label off” pada wanita dengan kehilangan rambut androgenic

yang tidak hamil atau merancang untuk hamil ketika mengambil ubat tersebut.

Finasteride adalah dalam kelas ubat yang dikenali sebagai 5-alpha reductase inhibitor.

Ia dipercayai untuk membantu mengurangkan keguguran rambut dengan menyekat tindakan hormon semula jadi dalam folikel rambut kulit kepala.

 laser-therapy-for-hair-loss

Terapi Laser (Laser therapy)

 

Terdapat beberapa bukti bahawa cahaya laser boleh merangsang pertumbuhan rambut di beberapa jarak gelombang di antara 650nm – 670nm

Cahaya dari laser yang mempunyai kesan ke atas badan anda apabila panjang gelombang tertentu cahaya diserap oleh molekul tisu sasaran.

Apabila tenaga cahaya diserap oleh molekul tisu sasaran, tahap tenaga molekul bertambah dan molekul bertindak balas

dengan “kerja luar” tenaga lebihan dengan perubahan penyesuaian.

Perubahan ini mungkin kimia atau fizikal dan mereka mungkin mempunyai kesan biologi pada tisu sasaran atau tisu sekitar.

Oleh kerana perubahan dalam molekul yang dibawa oleh fototerapi, perubahan kimia dikatakan disebabkan oleh “photochemistry”

dan perubahan fizikal untuk “photophysics.”

Akibatnya, kesan biologi pada tisu dipanggil photobiomodulation. Photobiomodulation dalam Rawatan Lelaki dan Perempuan Corak Kehilangan rambut

Banyak hipotesis telah ditawarkan untuk menjelaskan bagaimana LLLT photobiomodulation boleh merangsang pertumbuhan rambut baru.

Walaupun kimia dan fizikal kesan LLLT ini telah berlaku dengan pertumbuhan rambut baru disebabkan oleh LLLT,

tiada kesan-kesan ini telah ditunjukkan sebagai kesan utama dalam merangsang pertumbuhan rambut baru.

Ia bagaimanapun, hipotesis bahawa LLLT Pengantara pertumbuhan rambut baru melalui sama ada secara langsung atau tidak langsung peningkatan

dalam aktiviti proliferatif dalam matriks epitelium folikel rambut.

Bukti juga menunjukkan bahawa tenaga laser membalikkan apoptosis folikel (kematian sel diprogram) dan daripada pemerhatian stimulasi gelombang

pertumbuhan rambut yang optimum dan dari kajian ex-vivo, ia telah menunjukkan dengan tepat apa yang panjang gelombang, kuasa,

kekuatan yang perlu untuk kesan yang optimum dalam merangsang pertumbuhan rambut baru.

 

Adalah penting untuk ambil perhatian haba yang tidak berkaitan dengan kesan terapeutik fotokimia dan gambar LLLT.

Walaupun ada panjang gelombang merah boleh dilihat dan watt yang rendah dikaitkan dengan LLLT, ia adalah satu “cahaya sejuk”

rooney-hair-transplant

 

Pembedahan Pemindahan rambut ( Hair Transplant )

Pemindahan rambut adalah teknik pembedahan yang mengubah lokasi

folikel rambut individu dari satu bahagian ke bahagian yang dipanggil tapak penderma botak botak atau bahagian badan yang dikenali sebagai tapak penerima.

Ia digunakan terutamanya untuk merawat corak kebotakan lelaki. Dalam keadaan ini, cantuman yang mengandungi folikel rambut

yang tahan genetik untuk botak yang dipindahkan ke kulit kepala botak. Ia juga digunakan untuk mengembalikan bulu mata, kening, rambut janggut, rambut dada,

dan rambut kemaluan dan mengisi parut yang disebabkan oleh kemalangan atau pembedahan seperti wajah-lif dan pemindahan rambut sebelumnya.

Pemindahan rambut tidak sama dengan kulit cantuman dalam cantuman yang mengandungi hampir semua epidermis dan dermis sekitar folikel rambut,

dan banyak cantuman kecil yang dipindahkan daripada satu jalur tunggal kulit. Sejak rambut secara semulajadi tumbuh di folikel dalam

kumpulan 1-4 rambut, pemindahan mengambil kesempatan daripada unit-unit folikel yang berlaku secara semula jadi.

Ini mencapai penampilan yang lebih semula jadi dengan memadankan rambut untuk rambut melalui Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT).

Rambut penderma boleh dituai dalam dua cara yang berbeza. Cantuman kecil unit kemunculan-semula jadi daripada 1-4 rambut, dipanggil unit folikel, boleh dipindahkan ke kawasan botak pemulihan rambut.

Unit-unit folikel melalui pembedahan diimplan dalam kulit kepala dalam dan sangat dekat dengan satu sama lain dan dalam jumlah yang besar.

The cantuman diperolehi dalam satu atau kedua-dua kaedah utama pengekstrakan pembedahan, Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT),

colloquially dirujuk sebagai “penuaian jalur”, atau Follicular Unit Pengekstrakan (FUE), di mana folikel yang dipindahkan secara individu.

Dalam FUT, jalur kulit yang mengandungi banyak unit folikel diekstrak daripada pesakit dan dibedah siasat di bawah mikroskop stereoskopik.

Setelah dibahagikan kepada cantuman unit folikel, pakar bedah yang diimplan setiap individu ke laman penerima kecil yang

dibuat oleh hirisan pada kulit kepala yang botak.

Dalam teknik baru, akar diekstrak dari kawasan penderma dan dibahagikan kepada jalur untuk pemindahan.

Jalur, dua hingga tiga milimeter tebal, diasingkan dan dipindahkan ke kulit kepala botak.

Selepas pembedahan, bandaging dipakai selama dua hari untuk penyembuhan.

Baru-baru ini, folikel rambut bioengineered telah berjaya dipindahkan untuk membuat folikel rambut histologi normal.

Secara khusus, kuman bioengineered folikel rambut, yang dibentuk semula dengan kulit yang diturunkan embrionik

sel epitelium dan mesenchymal telah ectopically dipindahkan.

Pada histologi, folikel rambut bioengineered juga secara autonomi yang berkaitan

dengan saraf dan otot arrector riduan di rantau ini kekal dan keupayaan piloerection dipamerkan.

Pemindahan rambut mempunyai pelbagai kesan sampingan jangka panjang dan kejayaan pembedahan tidak dijamin.

Teknik ini juga merupakan rawatan rambut yang paling mahal

Medicines and Treatment for Hair Loss Effectively Recognized By Science 2015

rogaine_foam1

Minoxidil (Rogaine)

 

 topical medications available over the counter, and no prescription is required. It can be used in both men and women.
It works best on the crown. Minoxidil is available as a solution of 2%, 4% solution, additional – 5% solution strength, and foam or mousse form.
Rogaine can grow a little hair, but it is better to hold what is still there. It should be applied twice a day, morning and evening once
Minoxidil is one of the most popular solutions in which minoxidil applied directly to the scalp to stimulate hair follicles.
Rogaine slows hair loss for many men, and some men grow new hair. Hair loss returns when you stop using this medication.

 

 

Propecia

 

Finasteride (Propecia, Proscar)

 

 This medication is FDA approved for use in men only with androgenic hair loss.Although not FDA approved for women, it has been used “off label”
in women with androgenic hair loss who are not pregnant or plan to become pregnant while taking this medication.
Finasteride is in a class of medications known as 5-alpha reductase inhibitor.
It is believed to help reduce hair loss by blocking the action of natural hormones in the hair follicles of the scalp.
Propecia is a version lower-dose drug commercially available called Proscar, which helps shrink enlarged prostate in middle-aged men and older.
Women, especially those who are or may become pregnant should not handle finasteride capsule.
Touching the capsule content can potentially harm the fetus men and women who did not accidentally
touch leaking capsules should wash the area to avoid side effects.
Propecia 1 mg tablets are available by prescription and is taken once a day. Propecia can grow and thicken the hair to some extent for some people,
but its main use is to keep (preserve) the hair is still there. Studies have shown that these drugs work well in some type
of hair loss and should be used for about six to 12 months before the full impact is determined. This medication does not “work” in days to weeks,
and the beginning of an increase tends to be seen gradually. It may be better for those who still have enough hair
to maintain but also can help regrow some hair. Side effects are possible but very unlikely including impotence or decreased sexual desire (libido).
Studies have shown that these side effects are probably a bit more common than seen in the general population and reversible when the drug is stopped.

 

Dutasteride (Avodart)

Dutasteride (Avodart) has recently been used as an “off label” to treat hair loss in men. It is FDA approved and is mainly used for

treating enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH) in men only. Dutasteride is similar to finasteride (Propecia, Proscar)

and is in a class of drugs known as 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. Dutasteride can help in hair loss by blocking the production or

bind natural ingredients in hair follicles of the scalp. Although not FDA approved for women, it has been used “off-label”

in women with androgenic hair loss are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant while taking the drug.

Women, especially those who are or may become pregnant should not handle dutasteride capsules.

Touching the capsule content can potentially harm the fetus men and women who did not accidentally touch leaking capsules should

wash the area with soap and water immediately immediately.

There are currently six month cleaning is required after taking this medicine before being allowed to donate blood.

 

laser-therapy-for-hair-loss

 

Laser therapy (laser therapy)

There is some evidence that laser light can stimulate hair growth in several wavelengths between 650nm – 670nm Of laser light

that has an effect on your body when certain wavelengths of light absorbed by the molecule target tissue.

When the light energy absorbed by molecular target tissue, increases energy levels of molecules and molecules

react with “fieldwork” surplus energy to change the adjustment. These changes may be chemically or physically,

and they may have biological effects on target tissues or surrounding tissue. Due to changes in the molecular brought by phototherapy,

said chemical changes caused by “photochemistry” and physical changes to “photophysics.” As a result, the biological effects on tissues called photobiomodulation.

Photobiomodulation in the Treatment of Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss Many hypotheses have been offered to

explain how photobiomodulation LLLT can stimulate new hair growth. While chemical and physical effects of LLLT has happened with

new hair growth caused by LLLT, no effects have been shown as the main effect in stimulating the growth of new hair.

It, however, the hypothesis that LLLT Mediator new hair growth through either direct or indirect increase in proliferative activity

in epithelial hair follicle matrix. Evidence also suggests that the laser energy to reverse the follicle apoptosis (programmed cell death)

and from observations of wave stimulation of hair growth and optimum of ex-vivo studies, it has shown exactly what wavelength, power,

power that is necessary for optimal effect in stimulate new hair growth. It is important to note that heat is not related to the

therapeutic effects of LLLT photochemical and images. Although there can be seen the red wavelengths and low watt associated

with LLLT, it is a “cold light” laser produces no sensation on the skin of people who undergo treatment.

 

 rooney-hair-transplant

 

Hair Transplant Surgery (Hair Transplant)

 

 

 Hair transplant is a surgical technique that involve the removal of
 
individual hair follicles from one part of the body called the donor site bald or balding parts of the body known as the recipient site.
It is mainly used to treat male pattern baldness. In this situation, the hair follicle grafts containing genetically resistant to balding are
transferred to the bald scalp. It is also used to restore eyelashes, eyebrows, beard hair, chest hair, and pubic hair and fill in scars caused by
accidents or surgery such as face-lifts and previous hair transplants. Hair transplants are not the same as skin grafts in the listing that
contains almost all the epidermis and dermis surrounding the hair follicles, and many small grafts transferred from one single lane skin.
Since hair naturally grows in follicles in groups of 1-4 hairs, transfer to take advantage of follicular units that occur naturally.
It achieves a more natural appearance by matching hair for Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation through (FUT).
Donor hair can be harvested in two different ways. Small grafts naturally-occurring units of 1-4 hairs, called follicular unit,
can be transferred to the bald areas of hair restoration. Units are surgically implanted follicles in the scalp in very close proximity
to one another and in large numbers. The listings are available in one or two main methods of extraction surgery,
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), colloquially referred to as “strip harvesting”, or Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE),
in which follicles are transferred individually. In FUT, leather strips that contain a lot of follicular units are extracted from the patient
and dissected under a stereoscopic microscope. Once divided into follicular unit grafts, surgeons implanted into each individual recipient sites
are created by small incision in the bald scalp. In the new technique, the root is extracted from the donor area and is divided into lanes for evacuation.
Lane, two to three millimeters thick, separated and transferred to bald scalp. After surgery, bandaging worn for two days to cure.
Recently, bioengineered hair follicles have been successfully transferred to the hair follicle normal histology. In particular, bioengineered hair follicle germ,
which is reconstructed with skin-derived embryonic epithelial cells and mesenchymal have Ectopically transferred.
On histology, bioengineered hair follicles are also autonomous with regard to arrector pili muscle
and nerve in the region remain and capabilities exhibited piloerection. Hair transplants have various side effects and long-term
surgical success is not guaranteed. This technique is also the most expensive hair treatments

Vitamins for Your Hair – What You Need to Know To Prevent Hairloss

Friday, 06 March 2015 by ToppikMalaysia

Vitamins for Your Hair – What You Need to Know

We all need a little pick me up sometimes, and your hair is no exception.

If your hair has been feeling dry, brittle, or thinner than usual, it may be time to introduce a new product into your haircare routine.

While vitamins for hair loss have been available for men and women struggling with hair loss and hair thinning for some time, never before have there been so many varieties and options.

The desire to care for your body from the inside out, rather than solely through topical or external means, is also a contributing cause for the rise in popularity of vitamins for hair loss. Made up of vital ingredients that your body needs to support hair follicles and growth, a hair loss vitamin is the perfect added nourishment that your body may be missing.

Should you add a hair loss vitamin to your haircare routine?

 

Read on to find out…

 

What Is Damaging Your Hair

We all want a thick, full mane, and that’s why it can be frustrating when our hair begins to let us down.

Luckily, more often than not, this change doesn’t happen overnight; there are some telltale signs to watch out for, as well as preventative steps that you can take to ensure healthy hair growth and revitalization.

 

Wet Hair

Coming out of the shower or bath is when hair is most vulnerable, so you need to make sure you are treating it accordingly. Wet hair is generally weaker, fragile, and more prone to breakage, so gently pressing the water out of hair is best, instead of roughly drying it with a towel.

You might even consider this tip for drying your hair from our friends at The Beauty Department, who recommend using a t-shirt instead of a towel to dry your hair to avoid causing added frizz and unwanted texture.

If you use a hair brush on wet hair, you may also notice more hair piling up in the hair brush than you want. Always use a wide tooth comb when dealing with wet hair, never use a hair brush.

If you need help deciding when to use certain hair brushes, our Hair Brush and Comb Guide is perfect for a quick tutorial!

Heat-Styling Tools

 

A huge contributor to damaged hair is using heat-styling tools. Hair dryers and straighteners are the main culprits and are responsible for causing dry, brittle, or even burning hair.

Watch this video of a young girl’s hair tutorial gone very wrong at the hands of a heat-styling tool – never let this happen to you!

Damaged hair caused by a heat-styling tool can lead to split ends, and possibly an unwanted haircut, if the hair is weakened so much that it is beyond repair.

To avoid hair damage, hair loss or an unwanted haircut, try setting the styling tool to the lowest heat setting. This will help minimize damage and help you avoid hair from being burned off like the poor girl in the video link above!

If you cannot avoid using heat-styling tools, make sure to use a moisturizing shampoo and a weekly hair mask to replenish the moisture lost during the styling process.

 

Hair Brush Cleaning

 

A dirty hair brush containing hair, oil, and product build-up is a breeding ground for bacteria. If you don’t already, make sure you are cleaning your hair brush at least once a month to prevent any bacteria on the brush from getting back into your hair. Mix together baking soda and warm water to wash the hair brush and help avoid unnecessary damage to the hair.

To read about other contributing factors to hair loss and damage, see our blog posts on Men’s Hair Loss and Women’s Hair Loss.

Vitamin Myths

Before you take any sort of hair loss vitamin or general supplement, make sure you know the facts about vitamins and how they affect your body. We’ve debunked some common myths about vitamins below.

Myth: You should choose vitamins with the words, “all-natural” on the label.

Answer: The term, “all natural” is not an official term nor is it regulated by a federal government agency, like the FDA. It does not in fact, offer any guarantee as to the product’s safety.

 

Myth: All vitamins can be kept in the same place.

Answer: This is not true. Some vitamins or supplements need to be kept in the fridge to maintain their quality and shelf life. Storing these vitamins elsewhere can actually cause them to lose their potency quicker and become ineffective.

Myth: Vitamins can be taken anytime, even at night, before bed.

Answer: If you take vitamins or supplements without food, you may actually be lessening their effects. Almost all vitamins should be taken with food for optimal absorption. Taking vitamins or supplements with food not only allows the nutrients to work in conjunction with each other, but it also helps to prevent an upset stomach.

Myth: You should try to buy vitamins with the terms “pharmaceutical strength” or “pharmaceutical grade” on the bottle.

Answer: Again, be cautious of these terms. There’s no such thing as ‘pharmaceutical strength’ or grade for dietary supplements – this phrase can only be used when referring to drugs, so be cautious of making a selection based on this criteria alone.

Now that you have a better understanding about vitamins and supplements, it’s crucial that you pick out the best vitamins for hair growth and repair.

The Vitamins Your Hair Craves

 

Not every vitamin or supplement will have the right ingredients to repair, strengthen and grow hair. Here are some vital ingredients to look for when searching for the best vitamins for hair growth..

 

Iron

Iron plays a vital role in transferring oxygen to cells throughout the body. With enough oxygen, hair follicle cells can maintain healthy hair growth. If you’re not getting enough iron in your body through different foods, having iron in a vitamin form is the next best thing.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D promotes a healthy hair follicle cycle, a necessity if you are looking for new hair growth, or longer, more luscious locks.

vitamin-d-sun-1

Zinc

If you’re feeling like your hair has become dry and brittle, it may be that you are not getting enough zinc in your diet. Zinc feeds the oil glands near the hair follicles, which in turn keeps the hair nourished and supple. Too little zinc is also a potential contributor to hair loss, so make sure this mineral is included in your hair loss vitamin.

Pumpkin_Seeds_2742206b

B-complex Vitamins

B vitamins don’t necessarily aid in the process of growing new hair, but they do help existing hair regain its natural shine and thickness. If your hair has been looking lackluster or dull, make sure the vitamins for hair growth that you pick contain B-complex vitamins in the form of biotin, niacin or cobalamin to help restore your hair.

toppik medical review

TOPPIK ENHANCES PATIENT EXPERIENCE

By Dr. Craig L. Ziering

 

The product is remarkably effective in achieving its stated goal.

We have observed no negative responses to Toppik (no irritation, infection, reaction, etc.) and a very high level of satisfaction.

For the past year, we have offered Toppik Hair Building Fibers to our patients to observe the product’s effectiveness as a cosmetic cover-up, and its value as part of the patient’s overall treatment.

Toppik is a “shake-on” product manufactured by Spencer Forrest, Inc., a 20-year-old company who also produces a similar product, Courve. Spencer Forrest creates products for daily use that thicken the hair and conceal any signs of scalp show- through. These products are ideal for patients immediately after transplant surgery to conceal signs of surgery or any post-operative thinning until the grafts begin to grow. They are also used to conceal hair loss for patients who are postponing surgery but want a temporary solution. They can be used in conjunction with minoxidil and Propecia® to show immediate results for patients who hope to ultimately experience an increase in hair shaft diameter and regrowth. They can also be used to supplement density in patients with very limited donor hair.

A jar of Toppik Fiber contains keratin protein fibers (derived from wool), which come in eight different colors to match most shades of hair. The fibers cling to existing hair, including the finest vellus hairs, by virtue of a static electrical charge that causes a magnet-like attraction to human hair. When shaken into a thinning area, the fibers are usually indistinguishable from real hair in appropriate candidates, even to the trained eye. While they are resistant to wind, rain, and perspiration, Toppik Fibers remove easily with any shampoo.

The product is remarkably effective in achieving its stated goal. In most cases, patients’ thinning hair immediately looks far thicker. This has been true for both men and women with a wide range of hair conditions. Post- operatively, we recommend that it not be used until crusts have formed, and may subsequently be safely applied. One of its greatest virtues is in mask- ing any post-operative thinning, and in effectively concealing any crusts or other signs of the procedure immediately post-operative.

I find it most beneficial in men and women with diffuse thinning. It is tremendously useful for patients to use during the waiting and early growth phase post-operatively (2 weeks–6 months, men; 2 weeks–8 months, women).

Because it provides immediate gratification, it is remarkable to watch the morale transformation for patients severely troubled and discouraged by their loss and yet limited in donor hair or money, or who are approach- ing their restoration with small surgical sessions over an extended period of time.

We have observed no negative responses to Toppik (no irritation, infection, reaction, etc.) and a very high level of satisfaction. We have also found this type of product to be an excellent means of maintaining contact with prospective hair trans- plant patients who are not quite ready to commit to surgery. Quite a few of these people later returned to schedule surgery after repeatedly contacting our office for reorders of Toppik.

 

Dr Ziering has no financial interest in Spencer Forrest products.

Genetic Hair loss Androgenetic alopecia (Male Pattern Baldness )

Thursday, 27 November 2014 by ToppikMalaysia

Genetic Hair loss Androgenetic alopecia (Male Pattern Baldness)

 

 Hair loss

Genetic Hair loss or Hereditary-pattern baldness is the most common cause of hair loss. Genetic Hair loss is not really a disease, but a natural condition caused by some combination of genetics, hormone levels and the aging process.

Almost all men and women will notice hair loss or hair thinning as they age. However, up to 40% of men and women will experience a more obvious form of this condition. Hair loss typically begins in the 20s and 30s, although in women the changes are most noticeable after menopause. The condition is also called androgenetic alopecia and, in men, male-pattern baldness.

Researchers have begun to understand more about the cause of this type of hair loss. Under the influence of a form of the male hormone testosterone, the normal cycle of hair growth changes, resulting in shorter, thinner or “miniaturized” hair. Eventually, hair growth in certain parts of the scalp stops entirely, which causes the typical pattern of hair loss. Contrary to the folk wisdom that baldness is inherited from one’s mother’s family, the condition seems to depend on genes contributed by both parents.

 

Symptoms

Genetic Hair loss starts with thinning of the hair and often progresses to complete hair loss on parts of the scalp. Hairs on the pillow, in the tub or on the comb are unreliable symptoms of hair loss. The average non-balding person loses 100 hairs per day, and more hair may fall out under certain circumstances, such as after childbirth or a serious illness.

Male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia. “Andro” refers to the androgens (testosterone, dihydrotestosterone) necessary to produce male-pattern hair loss (MPHL). “Genetic” refers to the inherited gene necessary for MPHL to occur. In men who develop male pattern baldness the hair loss may begin any time after puberty when blood levels of androgens rise. The first change is usually recession in the temporal areas, which is seen in 96 percent of mature Caucasian males, including those men not destined to progress to further hair loss.

In men, hair loss typically begins at the temples and crown and proceeds in an M-shaped pattern. In the most advanced stage, only a rim of hair along the side and back of the scalp remains.

In women, hair loss tends to be more widespread but better hidden. The top of the head down the middle is most commonly affected, often in a “Christmas tree” pattern. In contrast to men, the hairline along the forehead and temples usually remains normal in women. Complete loss of hair in any one place on the scalp is unusual and may suggest that a different problem is the cause, such as alopecia areata (an immune system disorder that causes bald patches), a fungus infection or one of a number of other skin conditions.

 

Genetic Hair loss

Hamilton and later Norwood have classified the patterns of male pattern baldness (see illustration below). It is generally recognized that men in their 20’s have a 20 percent incidence of male pattern baldness, in their 30’s a 30 percent incidence of male pattern baldness, in their 40’s a 40 percent incidence of male pattern baldness, etc. Using these numbers one can see that a male in his 90’s has a 90 percent chance of having some degree of male pattern baldness.

Androgens (testosterone, dihydrotestosterone) are necessary for the development of male pattern baldness. The amount of androgens present does not need to be greater than normal for male pattern baldness to occur. If androgens are present in normal amounts and the gene for hair loss is present, male pattern hair loss will occur. Axillary (under arm) and pubic hair are dependent on testosterone for growth. Beard growth and male pattern hair loss are dependent on dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Testosterone is converted to DHT by the enzyme, 5α -reductase. Receptors exist on cells that bind androgens. These receptors have the greatest affinity for DHT followed by testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone. After binding to the receptor, DHT goes into the cell and interacts with the nucleus of the cell altering the production of protein by the DNA in the nucleus of the cell. Ultimately growth of the hair follicle ceases.

In summary, male pattern hair loss (Androgenetic Alopecia) is an inherited condition manifested when androgens are present in normal amounts. The gene can be inherited from the mother or father’s side. The onset, rate, and severity of hair loss are unpredictable. The severity increases with age and if the condition is present it will be progressive and relentless.

 

Diagnosis

Genetic Hair loss usually is diagnosed by both its pattern and a history of a similar type of hair loss affecting family members. In most people, no further tests are required.

 

Prevention

 

If you begin to lose hair in a hereditary pattern, you may be able to slow further hair loss by using minoxidil (Rogaine) or finasteride (Propecia). Minoxidil can be used by both men and women, while finasteride usually is used just for men.

Minoxidil is a solution, now available over the counter. It is applied to the scalp twice daily. It can help to slow further hair loss in some people, and within four to eight months there may be some hair regrowth. In men a higher strength (5%) works best. In women there seems to be little difference in effect of the 2% strength and the 5% strength, and there is the risk of development of facial hair with the 5% strength. One caution: If you stop using minoxidil, you probably will lose any hair that may have been retained or restored by the medication.

Finasteride is a prescription-only pill that blocks the formation of the type of testosterone that affects hair growth. Higher strengths of the same medication are used in men to stop non-cancerous (benign) growth of the prostate gland. Studies suggest that finasteride helps to prevent hair loss in up to 99% of men with hereditary-patterned baldness, and that two-thirds experience some new hair growth. As with minoxidil, any benefits from the medication are quickly lost once it is discontinued. In addition, a small number of men develop difficulty with sexual function.

Finasteride does not appear to prevent hair loss in women. It also may cause birth defects, and should not be used by any woman who could possibly get pregnant. However, other types of hormonal treatment, such as certain types of birth control pills, may help the small number of women with hair loss that have elevated levels of male hormones.

In some people, hair loss may be caused by certain hair treatments (straightening, coloring), hairstyles (tight braids) or hair pulling. These do not cause hereditary-pattern baldness, but they may contribute to hair loss and should be discontinued.

A variety of other creams, oils, lotions and herbal remedies for hair loss are regularly advertised. However, only minoxidil and finasteride have been proven useful.

Some over-the-counter scalp treatments can cause irritation or harm and worsen hair loss.

 

Treatment

Minoxidil and finasteride may prevent hair loss and promote new hair growth. This effect, however, is quite unpredictable from one person to the next.

Hair weaves, wigs and toupees can be used. In addition, a variety of surgical techniques also can be used, including:

  • Scalp reduction – Strips of bald skin are removed surgically to decrease the size of a bald spot.
  • Hair flaps – A strip of skin with good hair growth can be moved from a less cosmetically important area to a more important one.
  • Hair transplants – Tiny plugs of skin containing from one to 15 hairs are moved from the back or side of the scalp to a bald area. The newer “micrografts,” which contain very few hairs, yield the best results, but are more expensive and time consuming than older types of transplants. Up to 700 individual grafts may be necessary to complete a treatment. It may take up to two years to see the full benefit of hair replacement surgery.

Hair loss Causes and Hair Cycle Explain

Sunday, 16 November 2014 by ToppikMalaysia

hair loss causes and hair cycle

Hair loss Causes in Hair Cycle

Hair grows originate from the follicle, root,and underneath the skin. The hair is ‘fed’ by blood vessels at the base of the follicle, which give it the nourishment it needs to grow. Between starting to grow and falling out years later, each hair passes through four stages: anagen, catagen, telogen and exogen. Every hair is at a different stage of the growth cycle.

Over time, the length of the anagen stage decreases. Therefore, the hair may become weaker and thinner after each cycle. That’s why it’s important to ensure your diet is rich in specific nutrients to maintain normal, healthy hair growth.

Anagen (Growing Phase)

The growing phase lasts two to seven years and determines the length of our hair.

Catagen (Transition Phase)

This is the transitional stage that lasts about ten days. The hair follicle shrinks and detaches from the dermal papilla.

Telogen (Resting Phase)

This is the resting phase which lasts around three months. Around 10-15 percent of hairs are in this phase. Whilst the old hair is resting, a new hair begins the growth phase.

Exogen (New Hair Phase)

This is part of the resting phase where the old hair sheds and a new hair continues to grow. Approximately 50 to 150 hairs can fall out daily, this is considered to be normal hair shedding.

If hairs enter the resting phase too early, excess shedding and noticeable thinning can occur and hair loss will be noticed

 

Periods of growth (anagen) between two and eight years are followed by a brief period, two to four weeks, in which the follicle is almost totally degraded (catagen). The resting phase (telogen) then begins and lasts two to four months. Shedding of the hair occurs only after the next growth cycle (anagen) begins and a new hair shaft begins to emerge. On average 50-100 telogen hairs are shed every day. This is normal hair loss and accounts for the hair loss seen every day in the shower and with hair combing. These hairs will regrow. Not more than 10 percent of the follicles are in the resting phase (telogen) at any time. A variety of factors can affect the hair growth cycle and cause temporary or permanent hair loss (alopecia) including medication, radiation, chemotherapy, exposure to chemicals, hormonal and nutritional factors, thyroid disease, generalized or local skin disease, and stress.

Androgens (testosterone, dihydrotestosterone) are the most important control factors of human hair growth. Androgens must be present for the growth of beard, axillary (underarm), and pubic hair. Growth of scalp hair is NOT androgen-dependent but androgens are necessary for the development of male and female pattern hair loss.

miniaturization

The above figure shows miniaturization of the hair follicle in pattern hair loss. Hair grows for shorter periods of time and becomes smaller, finer, and lighter as it approaches the vellus stage.

Common Hair loss Causes

 Common Hair loss Causes

 

GENETICS
A common family predisposition involves natural, age-related hormonal changes that can trigger hair loss. This is caused by the conversion oftestosteroneinto the toxin Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and can be inherited from either your mother or your father.
STRESS AND TRAUMA
Stress can produce increased levels of testosterone, which converts to DHT and interrupts the hair’s growth cycle. Stress also constricts blood supply through the capillaries, restricting oxygen and nutrient uptake and vitamins to the hair follicle.

 

NUTRITION AND DIET
What you eat can play a significant role in hair thinning. A high consumption of animal fats, rapid weight loss and liquidproteindiets can result in a lack of amino acids,biotin,iron,proteinandzinc— all of which are essential for healthy-looking hair.
HEALTH ISSUES
Several underlying health issues can cause hair thinning, including a malfunctioning of the hormone-producingthyroidgland and the natural hormonal changes women experience after pregnancy and during the menopause.
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
Air and water pollutants,chlorine, metals and minerals may be left on the scalp and hair as we wash with water every day, contributing to thinning. Pollutants such as pseudo-estrogens and toxins from within our bodies are also a factor.
MEDICATION
The hair follicle is incredibly sensitive to changes in the body. Any hormone therapy (including birth control) can contribute to hair thinning, as can steroids, specific chemotherapies, and medication for blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and acne.

 Other causes of hair loss

Genetics Hair loss Causes

The causes of Alopecia Areata are not fully understood. Alopecia Areata is considered to be an auto-immune condition in which the immune system of the body (which protects the body from bacteria, viruses, allergens, etc.) mistakenly attacks the hair follicles and destroys them. This leads to hair loss in the affected area. This abnormal behavior of the immune system is understood to be guided, influenced and triggered by multiple factors.

Hair loss Causes ALOPECIA AREATA

The exact hair loss causes, why hair follicles undergo this kind of destruction, is not known but a genetic component to this is suspected. Family history of Alopecia Areata or any of the other auto-immune diseases (such as hypothyroid, diabetes, cancer, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.) is often seen in many cases, suggesting a role of genetic element. In addition to the genetic predisposition, certain triggering factors may bring on the onset of this condition. Prolonged underlying stress often predisposes some patients to develop auto-immune process leading to Alopecia Areata. However, stress may not be the cause in every case. Alopecia Areata treatment has to take into account the underlying causes.

 

Treatment
60% of cases in this disease are self limited. The most common treatment is with steroids (cortisone is one form) either topically or by injection. The outcome of treatment is good when the alopecia areata process is present less than one year and poor, especially in adults, if the disease has been present for longer periods of time. Minoxidil (Rogaine) can help to regrow hair. Surgical treatment of this disorder is not recommended if the disease is active.

Alopecia areata Alopecia totalis

 

60% of cases in this disease are self limited

Scarring Alopecia
Hair loss due to scarring of the scalp is called scarring alopecia. Scarring can be due to a variety of causes. Traction alopecia over a period of time may lead to scarring and permanent hair loss. Trichotillomania (compulsive hair-plucking) can cause permanent scalp scarring over time.

Injury to the scalp caused by physical trauma or burns may leave permanent scars and permanent hair loss. Diseases that may cause permanent hair loss due to scalp scarring include (1) the autoimmune conditions lupus erythematosus and scleroderma, and (2) bacterial infections such as folliculitis, fungal infections, and viral infections such as shingles (herpes zoster).


Scarring alopecia from burn
 

Traction Alopecia
Traction alopecia is caused by chronic traction (pulling) on the hair follicle and is seen most commonly in African-American females associated with tight braiding or cornrow hair styles, pony tail. It is generally present along the hairline. Men who attach hairpieces to their existing hair can experience this type of permanent hair loss if the hairpiece is attached in the same location over a long period of time. Trichotillomania is a traction alopecia related to a compulsive disorder caused when patients pull on and pluck hairs, often creating bizarre patterns of hair loss.


Traction Alopecia
 

Trichotillomania
Trichotillomania is the name given to habitual, compulsive plucking of hair from the scalp or other hair-bearing areas of the body. Over time, continual plucking of scalp hair will result in a hairless area-a bald spot. Long-term trichotillomania can result in permanent damage to scalp skin and to scarring alopecia. It is not known whether trichotillomania should be classified as a habit or as obsessive-compulsive behavior. In its mildest form, trichotillomania is a habitual plucking of hair while a person reads or watches television. In its more severe forms, trichotillomania has a ritualistic pattern and the hair-plucking may be conducted in front of a mirror. The person with trichotillomania often has guilt feelings about his or her “odd” behavior and will attempt to conceal it.


Trichotillomania

Treatment
Consult with psychiatry, psychology, or developmental-behavioral pediatrics specialists.

Anagen Effluvium
Patients present with diffuse hair loss after an exposure to drugs or toxic chemicals. Chemotherapeutic agents are most commonly responsible for hair loss. Other medications that can cause anagen effluvium include bismuth, levodopa, colchicine, and cyclosporine. Hair loss usually begins 7-14 days after a single pulse of chemotherapy. The hair loss is clinically most apparent after 1-2 months.

Medical Care:

  • Although topical minoxidil is not effective in preventing chemotherapy-induced alopecia, it shortens the period of baldness by about 50 days.
  • The application of a pressure cuff around the scalp and local hypothermia retard anagen arrest, if these measures are implemented during the infusion of medication.

Prognosis:

  • Anagen effluvium is entirely reversible.
  • Upon the cessation of drug therapy, the follicle resumes its normal activity within a few weeks.
  • In some cases, hair regrows despite continued or maintenance therapy.
  • On occasion, the color and texture of the hair that regrows after chemotherapy-induced alopecia is different from those of the original hair.

Telogen Effluvium
Telogen effluvium is a form of non-scarring alopecia characterized by diffuse hair shedding, often with an acute onset. A chronic form with a more insidious onset and a longer duration also exists. Telogen effluvium is a reactive process caused by a metabolic or hormonal stress or by medications. Generally, recovery is spontaneous and occurs within 6 months.

The symptom of both acute and chronic telogen effluvium is increased hair shedding. Patients usually only complain that their hair is falling out at an increased rate. Occasionally, they note that the remaining hair feels less dense. In both forms of telogen effluvium, hair is lost diffusely from the entire scalp. Complete alopecia is not seen.

  • Acute telogen effluvium is defined as hair shedding lasting less than 6 months. Patients with acute telogen effluvium usually complain of relatively sudden onset of hair loss. Careful questioning usually reveals a metabolic or physiologic stress 1-6 months before the start of the hair shedding. Physiologic stresses that can induce telogen effluvium include febrile illness, major injury, change in diet, pregnancy and delivery, and starting a new medication. Immunizations also have been reported to cause acute hair shedding. Papulosquamous diseases of the scalp, such as psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis, can produce telogen effluvium.
  • Chronic telogen effluvium is hair shedding lasting longer than 6 months. The onset is often insidious, and it can be difficult to identify an inciting event. Because of the duration of the hair shedding, patients are more likely to complain of decreased scalp hair density, or they may note that their hair appears thin and lifeless.

Hairloss Causes: Physiologic stress is the cause of telogen effluvium. These inciting factors can be organized into several categories, noted below. In humans, however, the role these effects play in hair loss has not yet been determined.

  • Acute illness such as febrile illness, severe infection, major surgery and severe trauma
  • Chronic illness such as malignancy, particularly lymphoproliferative malignancy; and any chronic debilitating illness, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, end-stage renal disease, or liver disease
  • Hormonal changes such as pregnancy and delivery (can affect both mother and child), hypothyroidism, and discontinuation of estrogen-containing medications
  • Changes in diet like crash dieting, anorexia, low protein intake, and chronic iron deficiency
  • Heavy metals such as selenium, arsenic, and thallium

Medications, of which the most frequency cited are beta-blockers, anticoagulants, retinoids (including excess vitamin A), propylthiouracil (induces hypothyroidism), carbamazepine, and immunizations

  • Allergic contact dermatitis of the scalp

Medical Care:

  • Because acute telogen effluvium is a reactive process, which resolves spontaneously, treatment usually is limited to reassurance.
  • While chronic telogen effluvium is less likely to resolve rapidly, reassurance is appropriate for these patients. Often, the knowledge that the hair loss will not progress to baldness is comforting to the patient. The patient should be encouraged to style the hair in a way, which masks any perceived defects in hair density.
  • Any reversible cause of hair shedding, such as poor diet, iron deficiency, hypothyroidism, or medication use, should be corrected.
  • While topical minoxidil is not proven to promote recovery of hair in telogen effluvium, this medication has a theoretical benefit and is well tolerated. Patients who are eager to play an active role in their treatment may choose to use minoxidil.

RAMBUT GUGUR

Punca Rambut gugur

 

GENETIK

A kecenderungan keluarga biasa melibatkan semula jadi, perubahan yang berkaitan dengan usia hormon yang boleh mencetuskan keguguran rambut . Ini adalah disebabkan oleh penukaran oftestosteroneinto dihydrotestosterone toksin ( DHT ) dan boleh diwarisi dari samada ibu atau bapa anda .

 

Alopecia areata

Punca-punca Alopecia areata tidak difahami sepenuhnya . Alopecia areata adalah dianggap sebagai keadaan autoimun di mana sistem imun badan ( yang melindungi tubuh daripada bakteria , virus , alergen , dan lain-lain ) tersilap menyerang folikel rambut dan memusnahkan mereka . Ini membawa kepada keguguran rambut di kawasan yang terjejas . Tingkah laku yang tidak normal sistem imun Difahamkan diberikan petunjuk, dipengaruhi dan dicetuskan oleh pelbagai faktor .
Kehilangan rambut yang tepat menyebabkan , mengapa folikel rambut menjalani ini jenis kemusnahan , tidak diketahui tetapi komponen genetik kepada ini disyaki . Sejarah keluarga Alopecia areata atau mana-mana penyakit auto – imun yang lain ( seperti hypothyroid , kencing manis , kanser , ulser kolitis , artritis reumatoid , dll) sering dilihat dalam banyak kes , menunjukkan peranan unsur genetik . Selain kecenderungan genetik , faktor-faktor pencetus tertentu boleh membawa kepada tercetusnya keadaan ini . Tekanan asas yang berpanjangan sering mempengaruhi sesetengah pesakit untuk membangunkan proses auto – imun yang membawa kepada Alopecia areata . Walau bagaimanapun , tekanan tidak mungkin menjadi penyebab dalam setiap kes . Rawatan Alopecia areata perlu mengambil kira punca .

TEKANAN DAN TRAUMA

Tekanan boleh menghasilkan tahap peningkatan testosteron , yang menukar kepada DHT dan mengganggu kitaran pertumbuhan rambut itu. Tekanan juga constricts bekalan darah melalui kapilari , menyekat oksigen dan pengambilan nutrien dan vitamin untuk folikel rambut .

 

PEMAKANAN DAN DIET

Apa yang anda makan boleh memainkan peranan penting dalam rambut gugur atau tidak . Sebuah penggunaan yang tinggi lemak haiwan , kehilangan berat badan yang cepat dan liquidproteindiets boleh menyebabkan kekurangan asid amino , Biotin , besi , proteinandzinc- semua yang penting untuk rambut yang sihat – cari . ISU KESIHATAN Beberapa isu-isu kesihatan yang mendasari boleh menyebabkan penipisan rambut , termasuk yang rosak daripada hormon – hormon producingthyroidgland dan semula jadi perubahan pengalaman wanita selepas bersalin dan semasa menopaus .

FUE and FUT Hair Transplant in malaysia ? [Use Toppik]

Tuesday, 28 October 2014 by ToppikMalaysia

FUE and FUT Hair Transplant in malaysia ?

 

FUE and FUT Hair Transplant in malaysia

 

FUE and FUT: a glance at both techniques

The most important feature of a successful FUE and FUT Hair Transplant in malaysia involves achieving a natural-looking hairline and the right hair density, without any signs of the treatment being noticeable. Technical progress and improvements over the last decades have contributed greatly towards achieving complete naturalness. Through increasingly smaller grafts, a greater amount of hairs can now be extracted and transplanted.

In the field of hair transplantation, we distinguish between two techniques, FUT and FUE. The main difference between the two lies in the way the follicle units are extracted. In an FUT, the strip technique is used, by which a strip of the scalp with hairs on it is taken from the back of the head, with its hair follicles subsequently being extracted. Using FUE, individual follicular units are extracted directly from the scalp.

The dominant feature of both techniques is the extraction of the smallest natural hair groups, the so-called follicular units, or FUs for short. Each of these anatomical units generally consists of 1 – 4 hairs. Both techniques – FUT and FUE hair tranplant in malaysia – make use of these natural units.

The extraction method is one of the most important and decisive factors in any hair transplant. The focus is not on extracting as many grafts as possible, but on the quality of the hair roots, as they play a decisive role in determining whether the grafts take root.

In the FUE extraction method, the size of the punch needles plays a decisive role. Choosing the right size minimises damage to the donor area. Put in a nutshell: the finer the punch needle used, the less damage is caused to the skin in the donor area and the less visible the extraction is. This is the reason why Dr. Feriduni never uses any punch needles wider than 0.95 mm. After extraction, the selected hair roots need to be carefully prepared. The following step, their implantation, is common to both methods.

The learning process needed to master FUE, the state-of-the-art method, is more intensive and time-consuming than when using strip extraction. Alongside a sure instinct, many years of experience are needed for a hair surgeon to successfully perform a transplantation using the FUE technique. Key success factors include the accurate use of the smallest possible punch needles, ideal FUE quality and expert knowledge of transplantation techniques.

FUE and FUT Hair Transplant in malaysia : the donor area and scarring

The two extraction techniques – FUE and FUT – differ with regard to the scarring left in the donor area. Whereas strip extraction (FUT) will leave a narrow linear scar on the back of the head, all that can be seen after an FUE transplant are micro-scars looking like little dots.

The appearance of the scar in the donor area is therefore a criterion for patients wanting to wear their hair very short. As scarring differs from patient to patient and is also dependent on the type and number of previous and future transplants, the in-depth and well-prepared consultation of a hair surgeon is an absolute “must”. Special closure techniques such as trichophytic closure are beneficial for obtaining minimum scarring after FUT strip extraction.
FUE and FUT Hair Transplant in malaysia : the survival rate of follicular units / grafts
A meticulous approach exercising utmost care is a prerequisite for any medical treatment. This is especially true for the extraction of hair follicles and their subsequent survival rate.

Extracted grafts are vulnerable to dehydration. Moreover, continuing cell metabolism can lead to a sort of self-poisoning. This is the reason why the environment and handling that FUs are subject to between extraction and implantation are very important. Extracted FUs waiting to be implanted are kept in a physiological solution corresponding to the human body environment. When being processed under the microscope, they are always kept damp.

Generally speaking, grafts extracted vie FUE are much more sensitive, as the extraction technique leaves much less protective tissue around the hair follicles. This ultimately leads to a slightly lower survival rate. Damage to healthy hair follicles influencing their survival rate, as well as a worse rooting rate, are possibilities in both techniques when the work is not performed in an optimal manner. This is the reason why the choice of the right hair surgeon is a decisive criterion for the success of any hair transplant.

FUE and FUT Hair Transplant in malaysia: the number of grafts and their density
Dependent on the size of the area to be treated, 1000 – 5000 follicular units are generally required. For transplants taking place under ideal conditions, both extraction techniques will provide excellent results. The desired hair density of 30 – 90 FUs per cm² can be achieved with both techniques.

FUE and FUT Hair Transplant in malaysia : implanting the grafts
Even when optimally extracted, grafts can still become damaged during transplantation. This in turn will mean that a lower number of grafts actually take root. This can happen when the hair surgeon or his team do not have sufficient experience, skill and/or technical expertise. The surgeon must be skilled enough to work to high aesthetic standards. This involves him being able to implant the right number of grafts in the right places according to aesthetic principles, thereby achieving a hair density result that looks completely natural. This applies to the whole head, though the focus is on the hairline – the right depth and angle of the incisions is of crucial importance for determining what the patient’s hair will look like later on.

The incisions in the recipient area, into which the extracted and prepared grafts are implanted, also play a major role in any transplantation. Incisions are best made with scalpels or blades specifically adapted to individual patients – so-called customized blades. Using these, the hair surgeon can match the width, length, depth and angle of the incisions with the direction the patient’s hair grows in. The right incisions also help the grafts to quickly connect up to blood vessels and nerves, having a major influence on their survival rate and making the transplant look natural.

 

FUE and FUT Hair Transplant in malaysia: healing

The level of pain felt is dependent on a patient’s sensitivity to pain. Hair Transplant in malaysia is always done under local anaesthesia and is therefore in general completely pain free. One effect of the local anaesthesia when using FUT is a feeling of tension on the scalp. This is however generally only minor and will disappear after a few days. Healing after FUE treatment is faster than after FUT and generally free of pain. A temporary numb feeling, which could last for several months in case of FUT, does not occur with FUE.

The swelling in the transplantation area or possibly around the forehead and eyes is dependent on the FU density / size of the area treated or on the number of transplanted hair roots. It occurs with both methods and generally lasts for 6 – 8 days.

 

FUE and FUT Hair Transplant in malaysia: Hair Loss/Shock Loss

One often very unpleasant effect for patients, occurring independent of the method used, is the hair loss in the transplantation area that occurs 2 – 6 weeks after the operation. This affects mainly the transplanted hairs, but may also affect existing hair. In the course of the second or third week after a hair transplant, most of the transplanted hairs fall out. This effect happens to 98 % of patients.

This hair loss is completely normal. Patients need to know that it is only hairs weakened by the transplantation that are falling out. By contrast, the hair roots remain in place, gathering strength and producing new hairs after 3 – 6 months, evidence of the success of the hair transplant. This also applies to hairs already growing in the transplantation area before the transplant. It does not however apply to hair follicles which were already so weak that they were no longer in a position to produce new hairs.

 

FUE and FUT Hair Transplant in malaysia : conclusions

Both techniques – FUE and FUT – have very good success prospects, but: there is no one best or right method – each method has its own pros and cons.

The decision on which extraction method to use should be individually weighed up in consultation with the hair restoration surgeon. There are many factors needing to be taken into consideration. A hair surgeon must be in a position to assess future natural hair loss, the quality and density of existing hair, and in particular the hair structure. He must also be able to calculate the number of grafts needing to be extracted to fulfil a patient’s wishes, discuss alternative forms of treatment such as a medication-based therapy, and explain to the patient the pros and cons of each technique. In addition, comprehensive tests need to be carried out before any recommendation for any one extraction method can be issued.

The extraction of hair follicles is just one of many aspects needing to be taken into account in any successful hair transplant. Should little or no attention be paid to other aspects such as the incisions, there is a great possibility of the result not meeting up to expectations.

This is why the success of any FUE or FUT transplant is to a great extent dependent on the training, experience, techniques and technology, ability, intuition and expertise of the hair restoration surgeon: though both extraction techniques require extensive know-how and experience, the FUE extraction technique is much more demanding. In a nutshell: irrespective of which operation technique is used, any FUE or FUT transplant should always be performed by an experienced specialist.

An FUE is best for patients wanting to avoid a linear scar at all costs, and for younger patients only requiring minor treatment. Moreover, FUE is the right choice when transplanting body hair or when corrective / reconstructive hair surgery is involved.

FUE is also good for patients with (very) little donor hair, as well as for patients with a tendency to extreme scarring or patients wanting to wear their hair very short. Patients with a Norwood V or VI diagnosis should choose a combination of FUE and FUT to attain the highest possible number of donor hairs.

Though both extraction techniques basically allow the same number of hairs to be extracted, there is one major difference. In an FUT, under good working conditions, 4000 – 5000 FUs can be extracted in one operation session. The corresponding figure for FUE is 3000 – 3500 FUs. Using the FUE technique, a second operation is generally needed to achieve the same number of FUs. This can only take place some 6 months later.

The hair density needing to be achieved (30 – 90 FUs per cm²) is possible with both techniques, meaning that the selected extraction method has no appreciable influence on the end result.

Using experience as a guideline, it can be said that an FUE is less painful and that healing is quicker. Nevertheless, FUE is an operation with no 100 % guarantee of success.

What is Rogaine ? Can i use toppik with rogaine minoxidil ?

Sunday, 26 October 2014 by ToppikMalaysia

Rogaine For Hairloss Treatment And Hair Regrowth

 

Rogaine Malaysia

Rogaine is one of the Proven hair loss treatment approved by FDA for Hairloss Treatment
It is the first available medication that has been proven effective for hair loss treatment. It contains the active ingredient minoxidil and is the only product which has been medically proven to treat hereditary hair loss. Rogaine is a solution which is applied topically to the scalp twice a day. It can also slow down hair loss in men who are showing signs of balding.

In consumer surveys of over 7,000 men, 80% said they noticed a difference. Furthermore, after 12 months of continuous use, 40% showed regrowth.

Rogaine (Malaysia)  is also known as Regaine in some countries.

How Rogaine Works ?

 

Rogaine works in part by partially enlarging miniaturised follicles and reversing the miniaturisation process.

This prolongs the growth phase of the hair cycle, allowing the hair to become longer and thicker. And with more follicles in the growth phase at the same time, it is possible to see improved coverage of the scalp.

Although the growth phase may be prolonged, the follicle will continue to cycle. Several cycles may be necessary before maximum potential hair regrowth can be achieved.

While clinical trials have proven Rogaine can assist in hair regrowth for both men and women, thicken existing hair, reduce hair loss, and stimulate new hair growth, individual results can be affected by several factors.

The younger the age of patients, the greater chance of good results.
If hair is thinning as opposed to having a bald spot, response will be better.
If the bald area is less than 10cm and has been that way for less than 10 years, response will be better.
Response is better on the crown (back) rather than on the front of the scalp.
Rogaine must be applied twice daily every day. It will need to be used for four to six months before seeing hair regrowth. If Rogaine treatment is stopped after regrowing hair, the new hair will fall out within four months.
Is Rogaine Right for you?

Extensive studies have shown that Rogaine is effective at stopping hereditary hair loss. But there are many causes of hair loss and Rogaine is not suitable for everyone. That’s why it’s important to discover first whether Rogaine is right for you…

Do you have a family history of hair loss?
Have been losing hair for less than 10 years?
Do you have a balding area less than 10 cm in diameter, with some remaining hair growth?
Do you have hair loss at the front of your scalp or on the crown?
Are over 18 and in good physical health?
If you answered YES to all of these questions, then Rogaine could be your answer to ending hair loss.
If you are experiencing hair loss and it is not hereditary, Rogaine is not the answer for you. But don’t despair, there are lots of other ways of dealing with hair loss which can help improve your looks and confidence.

 

RESULT ROGAINE MINOXIDIL 2% VERSUS 5%

 

A randomized clinical trial of 5% topical minoxidil versus 2% topical minoxidil and placebo in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia in men.
BACKGROUND:
Topical minoxidil solution 2% stimulates new hair growth and helps stop the loss of hair in individuals with androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Results can be variable, and historical experience suggests that higher concentrations of topical minoxidil may enhance efficacy.

OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this 48-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, multicenter trial was to compare 5% topical minoxidil with 2% topical minoxidil and placebo in the treatment of men with AGA.

METHODS:
A total of 393 men (18-49 years old) with AGA applied 5% topical minoxidil solution (n = 157), 2% topical minoxidil solution (n = 158), or placebo (vehicle for 5% solution; n = 78) twice daily. Efficacy was evaluated by scalp target area hair counts and patient and investigator assessments of change in scalp coverage and benefit of treatment.

RESULTS:
After 48 weeks of therapy, 5% topical minoxidil was significantly superior to 2% topical minoxidil and placebo in terms of change from baseline in nonvellus hair count, patient rating of scalp coverage and treatment benefit, and investigator rating of scalp coverage. Hair count data indicate that response to treatment occurred earlier with 5% compared with 2% topical minoxidil. Additionally, data from a patient questionnaire on quality of life, global benefit, hair growth, and hair styling demonstrated that 5% topical minoxidil helped improve patients’ psychosocial perceptions of hair loss. An increased occurrence of pruritus and local irritation was observed with 5% topical minoxidil compared with 2% topical minoxidil.
CONCLUSION:
In men with AGA, 5% topical minoxidil was clearly superior to 2% topical minoxidil and placebo in increasing hair regrowth, and the magnitude of its effect was marked (45% more hair regrowth than 2% topical minoxidil at week 48). Men who used 5% topical minoxidil also had an earlier response to treatment than those who used 2% topical minoxidil. Psychosocial perceptions of hair loss in men with AGA were also improved. Topical minoxidil (5% and 2%) was well tolerated by the men in this trial without evidence of systemic effects.

Can i use toppik with Rogaine minoxidil?
