Hair restoration, hair follicles

It is known that healthy hair and thick hair are a symbol of youth and strength. And their loss, on the contrary, often becomes the cause of a stressful condition, depression, a constant sense of self-doubt. After all, it is, you see, offensive - at a relatively young age to look with horror in the mirror and count the hairs remaining on the comb.

A terrible and always unexpected process of alopecia in medical people is called alopecia, and the science that studies this process is called trichology. In its form, this disease can be persistent, temporary, complete or partial. Is it possible to restore hair, hair follicles? This will be discussed below.

Causes of hair loss

Normally, a person loses up to a hundred hair each day. If a greater number falls out, then this is already a pathology and can lead to a stable process of complete alopecia. In addition to absolute alopecia, trichologists distinguish diffuse( local hair thinning) and focal( complete absence of hair cover in separate areas).There is alopecia age and premature, which is characterized by unreasonably early - already in 25-30 years - hair loss. Alopecia sometimes( in rare cases) occurs from the very moment of birth.

Doctors define various reasons why suddenly a person starts to lose his hair on the background of full health and the hair bulb is destroyed. The reasons for these can be divided into two main groups: internal and external. Internal causes include fluctuations in the hormonal background and disorders in the metabolism, a number of autoimmune processes, a genetic predisposition, and external causes are the mental state( stresses), infectious diseases, physical trauma( damage to the skin), exposure to toxic substances, etc. Often doctors are faced with a combination of several factors leading to hair loss.

Treatment of alopecia, in hair restoration

Having dealt with the causes, the doctor can start treatment. It is also different: rinsing, rubbing, the effects of Darsonval's currents, a severe diet, serious medication and an extremely costly restoration of the hair follicle. And do all this regularly, in strict order and for life. And we must understand that no one can program positive results, unfortunately.

However, science is moving forward. And if you are inclined to trust high technologies, the newest method of autologous plasma-therapy will effectively help you and your hair.

What is Plasma Therapy?

This method is one of the latest achievements of European, American and Israeli physicians. It differs radically from all types of treatment of alopecia, which were used before. For the regeneration of the hair and hair follicle, a plasma rich in platelets is used.

It would seem, some kind of tricky name. In fact, the principle of the effect of this substance on the human body is not at all difficult to explain. Physicians have relatively recently found that a platelet-enriched human plasma produces a tremendous rejuvenating effect. And thus there is no necessity to resort to various sorts of medicinal preparations and surgical intervention.

For example, you cut yourself. Scratching begins to bleed, but soon the blood curdles and the wound is tightened by a clot that helps the skin to recover on the damaged area. This is due to platelets - these are colorless cells, circulating in large amounts in the blood. In the human body, they are called upon to respond both for clotting of blood, and for the appearance of new tissues in place of the damaged one.

According to the results of medical research, platelets produce so-called growth factors that cause cells to rebuild tissues. In other words, they can "update" and "repair" the tissues of the human body. Taking into account these unique features of platelets, doctors began to apply them in different spheres of medicine - orthopedics, surgery, traumatology, aesthetic medicine. Science has already proven that using plasma rich in platelets, it is possible to restore, for example, the missing volume of gums in the mouth, tighten long unhealed wounds and even repair damaged cartilage. But it will be available in the future. In the meantime, the regenerative functions of platelets are widely used by plastic surgeons in aesthetic medicine. With their help, the skin rejuvenates and the fight against alopecia effectively goes.

How the restores the hair

Practically the doctor takes a blood sample from the patient with a sterile instrument and places the tube with it in a special centrifuge in which the blood is divided into separate fractions. One of these layers is plasma with a high level of platelets.

Plasma, enriched with platelets and, respectively, growth factors, is then injected intradermally into the zone where a bulb or damaged hair restoration is required. Plasma begins to "reconstruct" these very hair. And since platelets are injected in a high concentration, they act much faster and more efficiently.

Growth factors are stimulated by "reset" - important changes occur in inflammation zones and micro-injuries, including the "cycle" of hair follicle growth. Studies have confirmed that plasma enriched with platelets literally forces the stem cells of the hair follicles to divide, which provokes their rapid and natural growth.

Pluses and minuses of plasma therapy

The main disadvantage of this method is that it is not universal. For example, with its help it is impossible to restore a full-fledged scalp in a completely bald man. But where there is diffuse( uniform hair loss) or focal alopecia, in these cases, the use of plasma therapy demonstrated high efficiency. In addition, in medical practice, plasma therapy allows not only to combat hair loss, but also can significantly postpone the aging of the skin.

There are several other advantages of this method. First, the hair restoration procedure is done on an outpatient basis and rarely takes more than an hour. No need to conduct any operational, complicated procedures. Secondly, the patient does not need to buy and constantly take a large number of medications and various dietary supplements. They in fact sometimes not so much help or assist, how many render a pernicious influence on all organism. Thirdly, the effect of plasma therapy is noticeable immediately after the first injection( of course, if the procedure was carried out correctly).
