Men's Hair Loss Treatment

FAQs about Men's Hair Loss

1. How does the hair grow and why do we lose them?

A head has between 100,000 and 150,000 hair. Each hair grows up to 0.4 mm in a day (multiply 0.4 mm with 150,000 to have 50 meters or more of hair growth every day. Vow! ). A hair may grow up to 7 years to reach a length of over one meter. People whose hair can grow up to ten or more years can have hair up to the floor. Hair grows from sac-like structures called follicles. In fact, what we see as a hair is the shaft of hair which has a part of it into the skin as a 'root'. Interestingly, both shaft & roof of hair are dead appendages of skin and what is living is the follicle below the skin & surrounding the root. The follicle is nourished by blood & nerve supply in a junction area called 'papilla'. Most of the hair problems are repercussions at follicle level, of causative factors in any of our functional organs. Since the reasons/causes of hair & scalp problems are not mostly into the scalp area most of the external applications are not sufficient alone, to take care of chronic scalp affections. Most of the hair problems are the repercussions at follicle level, by causative factors in any of our functional organs.

Causes generally can be:

• Extensive skin disease
• Acute mental strain
• Debilitating diseases or febrile illness
• Seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff
• Biosynthesis at follicle level
• Weakness at follicle level
• Shifting of residence or change of climate
• Poor diet and impaired keratin biosynthesis
• Side effect of drugs

2. How is male pattern baldness different from female pattern baldness?
Yes, the patterns are generally very different but do have their similarities. In female pattern baldness, hair is most commonly lost on the top of the scalp while sparing a rim of hair along the front border. In women, only 12% will show any temporal thinning, while in men this is seen in over 80% as one of the fit signs of loss. Like men, the crown in women may thin but the loss is highly variable. Crown thinning in men or women is considered one of the patterns of hair loss associated with the balding gene and androgens.

3. What do you mean by Holistic treatment for Hair loss?
Holistic care means the care for the whole person that is his mind, body and spirit and not the disease/ problem/ symptoms alone. Holistic system believes that the whole person is made up of independent parts and if one part is not working properly, all the other parts will be affected. In this way, if people have imbalances physical, mental, emotional or spiritual in their lives it can negatively affect their overall skin and hair. Holistic treatment would thus not only remove the symptoms along with the underlying cause of your problem / disease but would then also maintain your overall well being. To attain the Holistic Wellness the doctors at Valeda have envisaged the easy path that constitutes a Procedure Plan and a Product Plan.
