Common Side Effects of Hair Loss Treatments

Introduction

In my years in the aesthetics industry, I’ve seen how hair loss affects many of us. It’s not just about looks. It’s about how we feel inside. I’ve talked to hundreds of clients and worked with experts to find real solutions. Today, I’m excited to share four groundbreaking treatments that are changing the game. These aren’t just quick fixes. They’re based on solid science.

In the article below, I’ll dive deeper into each one. We’ll look at how they work, who they’re for, and what results to expect. It’s a new day for tackling hair loss, and I’m here to guide you through it.

For many people, hair loss is a normal part of the aging process. As we age, our hair follicles begin to shrink, causing our hair to thin and fall out more easily.

Types of Hair Loss

Hair loss can be a distressing experience for many people. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress, poor nutrition, ageing, and genetics.

At Wellaholic, we understand the importance of identifying the underlying cause of hair loss to provide the most effective treatment options. Let’s break down the different types of hair loss issues.

Alopecia Areata: Alopecia Areata is a condition that causes patches of hair loss on the scalp or other parts of the body due to an autoimmune disorder. It occurs when the immune system attacks hair follicles, resulting in hair loss.

Female Pattern Hair Loss: Female pattern hair loss, also called androgenetic alopecia, is the most common type of hair loss in women. It is caused by a combination of genetics, hormones, and age.

Traction Alopecia: Traction alopecia is hair loss caused by tight hairstyles or hair accessories pulling on the hair follicles.It is most commonly seen in individuals who wear their hair in tight braids, ponytails, or weaves.

There are many treatments available for these issues, but the best option for each person will vary. There are many treatments available that are designed to help you restore your hair. It is important that you choose the best hair loss treatment so that you can get a solution that works for you.


Causes of Hair Loss: There are many reasons why someone might experience hair loss.

Understanding Hair Loss Causes. Various factors can contribute to hair loss. Let’s delve into the most common causes to help you better understand this issue.

Genetics and Aging. One of the most common causes of hair loss is genetics. This hair loss is called male or female pattern baldness and is often inherited. Genetics play a significant role in hair loss, as some individuals are predisposed to baldness or thinning hair. As we age, hair follicles become less active, leading to hair loss over time.

Hormonal Changes. Hormonal changes, particularly in women, can cause hair loss. Hormonal imbalances caused by pregnancy, menopause, and conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can lead to hair loss. Hormonal changes can also trigger hair loss. This can occur during pregnancy, menopause, or due to a hormonal imbalance.

Medical Conditions and Medications. Certain medical conditions and medications can cause hair loss as a side effect. This includes autoimmune disorders, thyroid issues, and chemotherapy. Thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases, and scalp infections can all contribute to hair loss. Additionally, certain medications, including chemotherapy drugs, can cause hair loss as a side effect.

Please see the table below for the main types of hair loss as well as their prevention and suggested treatments.

Main Types of Hair Loss, Their Prevention and Suggested Treatment
Hereditary hair loss is a condition that can cause thinning or balding on the scalp.

Hereditary Hair Loss

Hereditary hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is a common condition that affects both men and women. Let’s break down what you need to know about this type of hair loss.

Causes of Hereditary Hair Loss: Hereditary hair loss is caused by a combination of genetic and hormonal factors. It’s often passed down from family members and can be triggered by hormones like DHT.

Symptoms of Hereditary Hair Loss: The most common symptom of hereditary hair loss is a receding hairline in men and thinning hair on the top of the head in women. It can also affect other areas of the body, such as the beard, eyebrows, and pubic area.

Alopecia Areata (AA) is an autoimmune disorder that leads to patchy, nonscarring hair loss.

Alopecia Areata Hair Loss

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss on the scalp and other areas of the body. Let’s break down what you need to know about this condition.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss on the scalp and other areas of the body. Let’s break down what you need to know about this condition.

Causes of Alopecia Areata. Alopecia areata occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, which leads to hair loss. The exact cause of the condition is not known, but it’s thought to be related to genetics and environmental factors.

Symptoms of Alopecia Areata. The symptoms of alopecia areata vary from person to person. Some people may experience only a few small bald patches, while others may lose all the hair on their scalp or body. The condition can be unpredictable and may come and go over time. In some cases, hair may regrow on its own, while in other cases, hair loss may be permanent.

Severe illness, surgery, or other life-changing events can cause telogen effluvium, a type of hair loss that results in large amounts of hair fallout.

Childbirth, Illness, or other stressors causing hair loss

Postpartum Hair Loss: Understanding the Condition. It’s not uncommon for women to experience hair loss after giving birth. During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes many changes and her hair is no exception. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can make hair thicker, but after childbirth, hormones go back to normal and the extra hair might fall out.

Stress and Hair Loss. Stress can also be a contributor to hair loss. Severe illness, surgery, or other big events can cause telogen effluvium, a type of hair loss that results in a lot of hair fallout. Telogen effluvium can be short-term or long-term, but it often resolves on its own within six months.

Seeking Professional Help. If you are losing a lot of hair after having a baby or going through a stressful time, it’s important to see a doctor for help. They can find out why you’re losing hair and create a personalized plan to help you deal with it.

At Wellaholic, our team of experts can provide you with the support and guidance you need to address Postpartum hair loss and achieve a fuller, healthier head of hair.

Hormonal imbalance hair loss is a common problem that can affect anyone, although it is more common in women

Hormonal Imbalance hair loss

Understanding Hormonal Imbalance Hair Loss. Hormonal imbalance hair loss is a common problem that can affect anyone, although it is more common in women. The most common hormonal imbalance that leads to hair loss is an excess of male hormones, or androgens. Androgens are responsible for the growth of facial and body hair, as well as the development of male sex characteristics. When there is an excess of androgens, the hair on the head may thin out or disappear completely.

Treating Hormonal Imbalance Hair Loss. There are several things you can do to help treat hormonal imbalance hair loss. The most important thing is to identify the underlying cause of the imbalance and address it. Your doctor can prescribe a different medication that does not cause hair loss if the cause is a medication you are taking.

If the cause is an underlying medical condition, treating the condition may help improve your hair health.

Treatment for hair loss: Three Scientific Methods to Target Hair loss

Hair loss can be extremely frustrating and embarrassing. There are many treatments available, but not all of them are effective. We will look at three scientific methods to target hair loss. These methods can help you find a treatment that is right for you.

Treatment #1: Microneedling for Scalp

Microneedling for Scalp helps treat hair loss and promote hair regrowth. Microneedling for Scalp is a Collagen Induction Therapy hair loss treatment in Singapore which is also able to cause controlled trauma in the scalp to promote hair growth. Together with the use of Minoxidil 5%, Microneedling can lead to positive effects on hair growth over a 12-week period. Especially effective for patients with Alopecia Areata and Androgenetic Alopecia, or male pattern baldness, receding hairline and thinning hair.

How is Microneedling for Scalp Conducted?

  • The Microneedling for Scalp procedure is comfortable and easy with no downtime.
  • Prior to the treatment, please keep your hair washed and cleaned. Avoid applying wax, gel, clay, etc.
  • Before your treatment, our friendly consultant will check to find areas with hair loss and make a note of it.
  • The treated area is cleaned with alcohol to disinfect the area.
  • The Microneedling for Scalp treatment is started. This may take between 20 to 40 minutes depending on the size of the area.
  • The consultant will apply the 5% Minoxidil and gently massage the area for 5 minutes.

Is Microneedling for Scalp Backed by Science?

There have been numerous research studies which shows the effectiveness of microneedling with Minoxidil for hair growth.

Case Study Results of Microneedling for Scalp Treatments

Study 1A Randomized Evaluator Blinded Study of Effect of Microneedling in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Pilot Study (2013) [source]

  • In 2013, a study tested how microneedling affects hair growth on 100 men with Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA).94 men completed the study.
  • The men were randomly split into two groups. The first group, which consisted of 50 volunteers, was treated with both microneedling and minoxidil (5 percent) lotion.
  • The second group, which consisted of 44 volunteers, was treated with minoxidil (5 percent) lotion.
  • The group which combined Microneedling with Minoxidil application saw a significant hair growth as compared to the minoxidil-only group

Treatment #2: HairGrow Scalp Booster

HairGrow Scalp Booster uses two proven technologies of WellaBoost – Method One (High Pressure Jet Spray) and Method Two (Electroporation). This helps to improve the absorption of Minoxidil by the scalp by up to 17 times and is ideal for treating hair loss.

In a study conducted using various interventions for treating alopecia and hair loss, up to 54% found both mesotherapy and minoxidil intervention effective in reducing hair loss when used together. There was ample evidence to support the efficacy and safety of topical minoxidil when used with mesotherapy.

How is HairGrow Scalp Booster Conducted?

The HairGrow Scalp Booster treatment consists of two methods:

METHOD ONE: HIGH PRESSURE JET SPRAY

  • Minoxidil is instantaneously blasted into small nano-molecules through high-pressure spray technology.
  • This increases absorption of the active ingredient by the hair follicles.
  • Thereby dilating blood vessels and improving the flow of blood.
  • This vasodilation effect causes more nutrients and oxygen to flow through your blood to your hair follicles.
  • Potentially promoting growth.

METHOD TWO: ELECTROPORATION

  • The second technology leverages electroporation, which exposes the skin to a light electrical field.
  • Electroporation makes the skin tissues permeable to macro molecules.
  • By utilising the skin’s water-based channels to allow ingredients to transdermally penetrate.
  • It then uses varying pulse energy to deliver serum into the subcutaneous layer of the skin to stimulate hair restoration.

Is HairGrow Scalp Booster Backed by Science?

There are various studies investigating the effects of skin booster for treatment of hair loss and to assist hair regrowth.

Study 1: Excellent response to mesotherapy as adjunctive treatment in male androgenetic alopecia [source]

  • In the presented case, there was an excellent response to 20th sessions for AGA without any side effects reported.
  • Obviously, the correct diagnosis is fundamental, and the dermatologist is the specialist qualified for that.
  • Mesotherapy seems to be a good and safe adjuvant therapeutic option in the treatment of AGA.

Study 2: Mesotherapy for Hair Loss: 2020 Guide  [source]

  • Mesotherapy treatment has now been used for decades to successfully restore lustre and volume to thinning hair.
  • The treatment’s technology focuses on the idea that most hair loss is caused by lack of nutrients, reduced scalp circulation, and hormone imbalances, especially DHT around the hair follicle.

Treatment #3: Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

LLLT is a modern non-surgical hair loss treatment. LLLT uses laser light to stimulate cell growth and supercharge hair follicles. This laser technology helps to combat hair loss and improve the volume and appearance of hair. The LLLT helmet is FDA-approved. The LLLT treatment has been proven to have no side effects and takes about 20 minutes per session.

A 2014 study found that low-level laser therapy seems safe and effective for promoting hair growth in both men and women.

A 2013 study of 41 males ages 18 to 48 found that laser hair treatment provided a 39 percent increase in hair growth over a period of 16 weeks.

How is LLLT Conducted?

The LLLT treatment procedure is comfortable and easy with no downtime.

  • Before your treatment, our friendly consultant will check to find areas with hair loss and make a note of it.
  • The treated area is cleaned with alcohol to disinfect the area.
  • If you are opting for the HairGrow™ regime (highly recommended), the consultant will assist with the Microneedling for Scalp treatment first.
  • The consultant will place the LLLT helmet on for you.
  • The treatment will take 20 minutes, and you can relax and use your mobile while the treatment is in progress.
  • The treatment is over. The consultant will keep a record of your progress.
Clinical studies have shown that the lasers in the LLLT laser helmet stimulate the growth of new and healthy hair.

Is LLLT Backed by Science?

  • Clinical studies have shown that the lasers in the LLLT laser helmet stimulate the growth of new and healthy hair.
  • The lasers also slow hair loss and can even stop hair loss, even with hereditary hair loss.
  • In addition, the use of the helmet doubles the hair follicle size of existing hair, so the hair also thickens.
  • Laser therapy with the LLLT helmet also helps to improve hair growth after a hair transplant or chemotherapy treatment.
  • The recovery is better and faster. In addition, the quality of the hair is better than without an after-treatment.

Study 1: Low-Level Laser (Light) Therapy (LLLT) for Treatment of Hair Loss (2013) [source]

  • In 2013, a study was conducted with 15 patients using a device stimulating LLLT (6000 to 1600nm).
  • The patients’ scalps were irradiated regularly with the device.
  • As a result of this study, 47% of the patients’ hair growth occured in 1.6 months earlier in irradiated areas than in non-irradiated areas.

Study 2: The growth of human scalp hair mediated by visible red light laser and LED sources in males. (2013) [Source]

  • 48 males were recruited. 22 males were subjected to the LLLT helmet with 5MW lasers and 30 LEDS (655+20nm). The remaining 19 were placebo.
  • Based on this study, there was a 35% increase in hair growth for the males with the LLLT helmet.
  • LLLT of the scalp at 655 nm significantly improved hair counts in males with androgenetic alopecia.
