Hair loss can have many different causes. It should be investigated whether there is a metabolic disorder, vitamin mineral and iron deficiencies in people with hair loss. Polycystic ovary disease, iron deficiency, anemia, hormonal irregularities (thyroid dysfunctions) and stress are the leading ones. While normal hair loss of up to 100 strands per day is considered normal, an increase in this amount or thinning of the hair so that the scalp is visible are the findings that show that action should be taken for treatment.
CAN ANY TYPE OF HAIR LOSS BE TREATED?
All kinds of hair loss can be stopped when the cause is determined (due to hair diseases -cicatricial or non-cicatricial alopecia-vitamin mineral iron deficiencies-thyroid diseases-genetic hair loss). With treatment, new hair formation can also be achieved if the roots are not completely lost. With the treatments, results begin to be seen at the end of the 3rd month on average, and 60-90% improvement can be achieved at the end of 6 months.
WHAT IS THE PLACE OF BOTOX IN HAIR LOSS TREATMENT?
Botox is an application that helps to eliminate the two most important main causes of hair loss.
1- One of them is the narrowing of the vessel walls in the scalp and the decrease in the nutrition of the hair follicles due to stress.
2- The other one is Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is formed under stress by the 5 alpha reductase enzyme from Testosterone, which is considered to be the most important cause of hair loss.
Botox regulates blood circulation in the scalp by relaxing the muscles in the scalp in the area where it is applied and preventing the contraction of the vessels passing through the muscles and soft tissue. Thus, the nourishment and oxygenation of the scalp increases. This contributes to better nutrition of the hair follicles and supports the strengthening of the hair strands.
In addition, the hormone DHT, which is seen as responsible for hair loss; It is a strong metabolite hormone formed by the 5-alpha reductase enzyme of the testosterone hormone. The less oxygen in the environment, the more DHT is produced. At this point, Botox, which is applied to the scalp at regular intervals, inhibits the formation of DHT from Testosterone by increasing the oxygen in the environment, and Testosterone turns into estradiol. Thus, an important reaction that causes hair loss is prevented.
IS JUST BOTOX APPLICATION ENOUGH FOR TREATMENT?
Depending on the patient's condition and the reason for hair loss, botox application may be sufficient alone in the treatment. It can also be combined with other treatments.
WHAT TREATMENTS COMBINED THIS TREATMENT?
When the Hair Mesotherapy and Hair GRP procedures, which we apply in hair loss and have successful results, are combined with botox application, their effectiveness increases up to 100%. The main factor in this is that botox expands the vessels and allows the active substances given to reach the hair follicles at a high rate.
WHO CAN APPLY THIS TREATMENT?
It can be safely applied to anyone who has hair loss problems, both men and women.
