Frequently asked questions about hair loss

According to our hair experts, hair loss rarely covers the entire head unless you have a condition such as alopecia universalis or totalis.

Men almost always have hair at the nape of their neck and out to the sides up to their ears. Women can sometimes have more diffuse hair loss over the whole head, but it is rare to lose all the hair.

There are certain medicationsthat can lead to hair loss. If you have further questions, we recommend that you either ask your doctor or contact us about the medicine you are taking.

According to our hair experts, there are many causes of hair loss. The most common is hereditary hair loss.

Otherwise, e.g. illness, stress, medication, thyroid problems and iron deficiency can cause hair loss.

Hair loss doesn’t always have to be age-related, but it’s obviously more common to lose hair with age.

Alopecia is the medical term for hair loss. All people experience hair loss during their lifetime, some more than others. A certain level of hair loss is normal in all people.

There are medicinesthat help with hair loss.

Finasteride(the active ingredient in Propecia) and Minoxidil(the active ingredient in Rogaine) help against hair loss. The medicines work in different ways, but Finasteride should only be used and handled by men as it can cause severe damage to the foetus if it comes into contact with pregnant women.

We can prescribe Finasteride to our customers.

Yes. When the body is exposed to a lot of stress over a long period of time, the hair follicles may go into resting phase as a form of self-defence.

The hair follicles then die 3 – 6 months after the event that triggered the resting phase. This can make it difficult to trace stress as the contributing factor to hair loss. When the hair follicle dies, the hair falls off.

During pregnancy, the body produces a lot of hormones and after giving birth, the body tries to return to its normal hormone production.

It can take up to a year for the body to stabilise. The general life transition of having a baby, with reduced sleep and increased stress, can also contribute to hair loss after pregnancy.

As long as you are not deficient in any vitamin or mineral, taking hair vitamins for hair loss will not help.

With PRP, we extract the body’s own growth factors, called platelets, which we then inject into the scalp.

The growth factors enlarge the size of the hair follicle, which is often shrunken and has been for a long time (if the hair loss has been going on for a long time). As the size of the hair follicle increases, the hair follicle is able to start producing a hair again of better and stronger quality.

In this way, the treatment can effectively prevent hair loss.

Normally, we lose about 100 – 200 hairs a day. In some periods, hair loss can be more severe. But if you lose more than 200 hairs a day for a long period of time, it might be a good idea to check it out.

It may be a hormonal disorder or an underlying disease. A hair grows for about 6 years and then goes into a resting phase of 1 – 3 months before it falls off.

PRPhelps against hair loss at any age in life.

PRP strengthens the hair follicle and nourishes it. The growth factors we inject create new capillaries in the scalp as the hair follicle grows in size. This causes hair follicles that have been stunted to come back to life instead of dying from inactivity.

Birth control pills – especially switching or stopping birth control pills – can trigger hair loss if you have hair loss in your genes.

Hormone replacement can help or cause hair loss in different ways.

It is common for women to start losing hair at menopause. The hormonal imbalance can cause the body to react by letting the hair fall out.
