Late Onset Thinning? Do I Have It?

05.11.2007 in TRICHOLOGIST

Answer: This condition can be seen in diffuse hair loss across the scalp as density is reduced gradually. This is due to age-related hormonal changes as the natural reduction of oestrogen/progesterone production results in the hair follicles becoming smaller and smaller. These produce finer and finer hair until there is a general reduction in overall density.

Who is the right person to see about my hair loss problem? Is it the Doctor? If not who?

22.10.2007 in TRICHOLOGIST

To get advice and treatment for hair loss, you should always start with either your GP or a trichologist.

Until very recently hair loss of any shape or form was regarded as a natural process to be endured. Your Doctor would be neither sympathetic nor understanding or helpful if you plucked up the courage to see him or her about your hair loss problem.

But things may be slowly changing. An increasing number of doctors realise that hair loss can have psychological consequences that significantly diminish quality of life, especially for both younger men and women alike, and they are becoming slightly more willing to take your hair loss problem more seriously than in the past.

If you are lucky enough to have an enlightened GP, by all means seek their advice – at the very least, you’ll get a referral to a reliable trichologist (although you’ll probably have to pay for any treatment you receive).

A trichologist, by the way, is a hair specialist whose training covers both the cosmetic and the medical aspects of the subject.

What Are The Symptoms Of Telogen Effluvium?

01.10.2007 in TRICHOLOGIST

Answer: If you are suffering from telogen effluvium, a lot of hairs fall out from your scalp. This is more than normal and most noticeable when you wash your hair. However, your scalp and the remaining hair look healthy. You will not have patches of hair loss (alopecia areata), but a general thinning will be apparent.

What Is Telogen Effluvium? How Do I Know That I Am I Suffering From This Complaint?

01.10.2007 in TRICHOLOGIST

Answer: Telogen effluvium is a condition where an excessive amount of hair falls out – more than normal amounts. There appears to be a general thinning of the hair where your scalp becomes more visible and more obvious. Unlike some other hair and scalp problems, it is on the whole a temporary problem and the hair growth usually recovers over a period of time.
