Hair

Hair loss can be explained by many factors, resulting from a combination of both internal and external factors.

• Internal factors: Among internal factors, genetics play a major role. Androgenetic alopecia, also known as baldness, is hereditary and affects both men and women. Internal factors also include hormonal imbalances, particularly in women during pregnancy or menopause. Hair loss can also occur temporarily during periods of physical or emotional stress. Hair loss can also be due to nutritional deficiencies, where a lack of nutrients weakens the hair. Similarly, certain illnesses, whether chronic or autoimmune, can cause hair loss. Finally, the consumption of certain drugs, such as those used to treat cancer, can have the side effect of hair loss.
• External factors: among external factors, excessive use of aggressive hair care products or inappropriate hair care products are major contributors to hair loss. Exposure of hair to heat (straightening, blow-drying, etc.) also makes hair more fragile, as does too-tight hairstyles, which cause traction alopecia.

To prevent hair loss, it’s important to understand the causes and address the underlying problem. In general, it’s always advisable to start by using appropriate hair care products, remembering to massage your scalp regularly, and avoiding overly aggressive products. On a day-to-day basis, adopting a balanced diet, learning to manage stress and getting a good quality of sleep can greatly reduce hair loss. Food supplements can also be an interesting solution.

To improve hair quality, it’s important to care for your hair with the right nourishing and moisturizing products . Hair should also be detangled gently, using a soft bristle or wide-tooth brush. Regular trimming is also highly recommended to get rid of split ends.

Choosing the right treatment for your hair loss is an important step, during which it’s crucial to ask yourself the right questions. The right treatment for you will be the one that best meets your needs and expectations. The first step is to assess the nature and stage of your hair loss. If hair loss is relatively moderate, a PRP treatment may be beneficial, whilea hair transplant will be necessary if the stage of hair loss is too advanced.

It’s also important to consider your goals and preferences in terms of treatment. Hair transplants will offer an effective, long-lasting change, but will be more invasive, while PRP and PRP + stem cells may require several sessions to be optimal, but are non-invasive solutions. All these criteria, as well asyour budget, should therefore be taken into account in your choice of aesthetic hair treatment.

Side effects after a PRP-type aesthetic hair treatment are generally minor and temporary. They may include slight pain, swelling or redness. The treated area may also be sensitive for a few days. Itching and bruising may also occur.

Hair treatments are generally suitable for all hair types. Whether fine, thick, straight, curly or frizzy, they can work for all hair types. However, their effectiveness depends above all on the condition of the hair follicles and the underlying cause of hair loss. If the follicles are still present, albeit weakened, then PRP or PRP + stem cell treatments will be suitable.

On the other hand, if the loss is too advanced, hair transplantation is more effective. At your first consultation with a specialist, he or she will help you determine the most appropriate solution for your hair condition.

Combination treatments are known to maximize the effectiveness of results, although one treatment alone may suffice. Hair mesotherapy, for example, which involves injecting vitamins, minerals and other active ingredients into the scalp, is often used to complement other treatments. In this case, mesotherapy maximizes the benefits of the initial treatment by delivering nutrients to the hair follicles.

At Claris Clinic, we also offer PRP treatment combined with stem cells. While PRP helps stimulate hair regrowth, stem cells will help regenerate damaged hair follicles for even longer-lasting results.
