Hair Loss In Women

While in may not seem common, millions of women experience hair loss. Hair loss in women can be caused by a variety of factors. Genetics, stress, and hormones can be major causes, but other triggers like hypothyroidism, dramatic weight loss, pregnancy, or trauma can cause hair loss. The experts at Apollo Hair Replacement in DFW are experts at diagnosing and treating hair loss in women.

Symptoms of Hair Loss in Women:
Depending on the specific type of hair loss, symptoms can range from a gradual thinning on the top of the head to a sudden loss of hair. A gradual thinning is the most common; for women, the hairline at the forehead remains, but parting in the hair broadens. Hair loss can also occur in circles or patches about an inch across. Trauma or emotional shock can cause hair to loosen, making clumps or handfuls of hair come out. Full-body hair loss can be caused by chemotherapy or other medical treatments. Most of these symptoms are reversible depending on the cause.

Causes of Hair Loss in Women:
There are many reasons that a woman could experience hair loss. Drastic changes in hormone levels (such as those caused by menopause or pregnancy or stopping birth control or hormone treatments), severe physical trauma, emotional stress, severe dieting and weight loss, diseases like diabetes or lupus, medications, or burns can cause hair loss. Aging, anemia, polycystic ovary syndrome, and anabolic steroids can trigger hair loss in women. Even a lack of protein (over the course of 2 to 3 months) or too much Vitamin A can be factors.

Hair loss in women is a common issue, but it is treatable. Most hair replacement studios have been producing men’s hair systems, but Apollo Hair Replacement of Dallas-Fort Worth has been specializing in woman’s hair loss solutions for more than 30 years.

Treatment for Hair Loss in Women:
If the cause of hair loss is due to a vitamin deficiency or chemical imbalance, removing the cause of these issues will allow the body’s functions to return to homeostasis and hair follicles will strengthen. Hair loss caused by pregnancy will stop once the hormone levels have returned to normal. Stopping any medications or medical treatments may also stop hair loss. If the issue is hereditary or genetic, seeking treatment from the experts at Apollo Hair Replacement will provide a variety of options for hair loss including Laser Hair Therapy, Cosmetic Reconstriction, Hair Transplants, and Hair Replacement.

TREATMENT: Laser Hair Therapy Dallas
Laser hair therapy is the latest non-surgical approach to treat thinning hair, hair loss, baldness and problems associated with the scalp. It uses cool therapeutic low laser energy, or “soft” laser light to effectively treat the appearance of hair loss in both men and women. Low-level laser light therapy (LLLT) delivers light energy directly to the scalp, which increases blood flow and stimulates hair growth. At Apollo Hair Restoration in Dallas we use Laser Therapy in conjunction with topical therapy may achieve faster and better results, than treatment alone. If started early enough, Laser Hair Therapy alone may be all the treatment needed to maintain your hair. While individual results may vary Apollo clients begin to see thicker, fuller and healthier looking hair during treatment.

Benefits of Laser Hair Therapy:

• Stops the progression of hair loss in 85% of patients
• Repairs and improves hair shaft quality
• Increases blood supply to the scalp by 54 percent after one treatment
• Stimulates hair follicles and accelerates hair growth
• Increases hair strength and elasticity
• Promotes fuller, shinier, softer and thicker looking hair
• Repairs damage normally caused by salon chemicals

TREATMENT - Cosmetic Hair Reconstruction Dallas
This year, the 30th year of Apollo Hair Replacement, the world's leader in nonsurgical hair replacement is proud to introduce Apollo Cosmetic Reconstruction (ACR), the next generation in hair replacement. Apollo Cosmetic Reconstruction is the latest technological advancement that redefined Apollo's place as the innovative leader in hair replacement.

Apollo Cosmetic Reconstruction is an extraordinary non-surgical hair replacement solution. It is so realistic that most people can't tell it isn't your own natural hair even when running their fingers through it! As the name suggests it is entirely cosmetic, meaning non-surgical. And although at first glance it may just seem like a really, really high quality wig or toupee, it's in fact a one-of-a-kind custom fitted hairpiece carefully crafted especially for you using real human hair.

Once applied, it can be left in place for weeks at a time and treated as your own hair. This is because it's cosmetically applied directly to your scalp rather than merely sitting on your head like a standard wig. Wear it to bed, in the shower, even swimming. Wash it, style it, blow dry it!

TREATIMENT - Hair Transplant Dallas
A hair transplant involves removing hair from healthy areas of the scalp where there is sufficient growth and transplanting that hair into the balding or thinning areas. The main advantage of a hair transplant is that it is a permanent solution. The risks of this method are scarring and infection. The right hair loss specialist is able to recreate a natural looking hairline that resembles how the patient's hair looked prior to the onset of male pattern baldness.

TREATMENT -Topical Hair Loss Treatments Dallas
Some medications that are commonly used to treat hair loss include Finasteride and Minoxidil. Apollo Replacement Dallas will let you know if a topical treatment is beneficial to you. Sometimes topical treatments are used in conjunction with other treatments for a more favorable result.

Finasteride is a synthetic drug that disrupts the manufacturing of a type of testosterone that is associated with balding. This disruption decreases the speed of hair loss. Finasteride, also known as Propecia or Proscar, is an oral medication that has been shown to lower DHT levels in the scalp, which are responsible for shrinking hair follicles. Finasteride does have some side effects, including hives, itching, depression, breast tenderness and testicular pain. Since Finasteride blocks male hormone production, it can also cause breast growth.

Minoxidil (Rogaine), on the other hand, is an antihypertensive vasodilator. If you put this solution straight onto your scalp, it can lead to stimulation of the hair follicles. Not only can it decrease the speed of hair loss, but it can sometimes even lead to the emergence of brand new hair. When individuals cease using the medication, however, balding continues. This medication sometimes has side effects such as irritation, dryness, burning and scaling of the scalp.
