Non-genetic forms of Hair Loss

Alopecia areata -- focal smooth hair loss, no redness

Tinea capitis or ringworm – red, angry, tender hair loss

Diffuse hair loss from a metabolic disorder or medications – The entire scalp hair is evenly affected

Genetic form of hair lossANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA

A genetically determined, patterned, progressive loss of hair from the scalp.

Hair loss is caused by androgen-mediated follicular miniaturization that leads to fine, short, non-pigmented, hair formation.

It affects both men and women at a similar prevalence of approximately 40%.

Males and females loose hair in different

places on the scalp.

Androgenetic alopeciamales

Males lose hair first at the temples and frontal forehead and have a receding hairline.

Then, the hair is lost on the crown.

Females lose hair starting on the crown and vertex of the scalp and typically do not lose hair in the front.

They will also eventually lose hair diffusely and the hair will become thin throughout the scalp.

Hair Restoration Surgery

Blood components

Blood is made from approximately 93% red blood cells (RBC), 1% white blood cells (WBC), 6% platelets, and plasma. 

When platelets are activated in the body, these sponge-like molecules form branches and release healing proteins called growth factors.  Though growth factors have a multitude of responsibilities, the cumulative result is accelerated tissue and wound healing. 

What is Platelet rich plasma???

The basis for the benefit of platelet rich plasma lies in decreasing the RBC count to 5% since they are less useful in the healing process while increasing the platelet count to 94%.

PRP is widely used in medicine today

“Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is proposed as an adjunct to standard treatment for a number of indications including wound care for the treatment of diabetic ulcers and venous stasis ulcers, bone augmentation and fusion, tendonitis, and plantar fasciitis.”
