Introduction to Hair Growth Cycle
Hair grows from the hair follicle or hair root beneath the skin. Hair is fed by blood vessels located in the base of the follicle. This provides the necessary nutrients for the hair roots to expand. There are four phases in the hair growth, from the beginning phase to it falls, which is the beginning of the cycle of hairs. The four stages of the hair growth cycle include Anagen called the growth phase Catagen Regression phase Telogen and Telogen. It is a phase of rest and Exogen is a phase of shed. Each hair is constantly switching to the next phase of its growth cycle. Once it is clear that the Anagen (growing) period of growth cycle for hair is over and the hair follicle is able to enter to the Catagen (transition) phase of the cycle of hair growth, where the follicle of hair shrinks, and splits away from the roots. Telogen is the phase that follows. Telogen phase lasts about three months. Aproximately 10-15% of hairs fall in this stage. When hair begins to enter the its resting phase too soon, it will be noticed that the hair begins to shed, resulting in the loss of hair around the head. The Exogen phase refers to the disconnection of hair roots once they have reached their terminal positions within the hair follicles. The resting hair loosens gradually and sheds hair. As time passes it is observed that duration of Anagen stage diminishes. But, hair can be thinner and weaker with each cycle. That’s why it’s crucial to make sure that a nutrients-rich diet is followed to ensure an energised and healthy hair growth.
Hair Growth Cycle
Normal Hair Shedding
Hair strands on the mattress at the beginning of each day, hair strands in the bathtubs after the shower, hair tangled hair strands that have escaped the comb falling hairs on your shoulder aren’t worrying. It’s a normal process of hair shed. Of the total scalp hair, about 85% to 90 percent are in a growth phase. The remaining 10 percent to 15 percent is in the resting stage. This means that it is likely to shed to make room for the growth of new hair. Normal hair loss is usually an occasional loss, except for any underlying condition or permanent cause of the genetic causes for loss of hair.
Male Pattern Baldness (MPB)
Male Pattern Baldness (MPB) is a genetic defect in genes that are transferred across generations. the next either paternal or maternal side causes the loss of hair and baldness that is genetically caused commonly referred to as Androgenic Alopecia. Androgenic alopecia is that is caused by hormonal DHT (Di-hydro Testosterone) sensitivity actions that happen following the synthesis of DHT through an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase, which is derived from testosterone. The DHT is a molecule that attacks the hair follicles results in the hair to shrink over time, because of the Miniaturization effect, which is a manifestation of hair loss because of the excessive sensitivity of it! The miniaturization manifests as an increase in the size of hair follicles and hair loss that eventually ends up falling out permanently.
Hair Miniaturization with the effects of DHT
Certain men are very hairless and the affected area tends to be at the top of their head. The majority of male pattern baldness begins from the forehead area and ends at the vertex of scalp. It grows gradually and forms an border (band) consisting of hair on the sides and back of the scalp.
MPB is easily identified without any prior experience in the field. It affects only hair that is located on the top of the scalp, and not on the sides. It is horseshoe-shaped patterns in the areas where hair loss is evident. There are various forms of the most common types of the loss of hair i.e. an elongated hairline or a thin crown, or general thinning spreading all over the top of the head.
Genetic or Androgenic Alopecia (Male Pattern Baldness)
MPB does not affect the back or sides of the hair. That is why it is used as a donor zone when undergoing hair transplants. Doctor Sareen gives the kind attention to the importance of a an uninvolved donor area and that’s why Dr sareen prefers FUT hair transplant, mainly that takes hair grafts of the sides and back on the scalp. (Donor zone) ensures long-lasting hair roots because these roots are immune to the effects that comes from DHT (di-hydro Testosterone). Dr Sareen is well-versed in performing FUE, FUT and FUT combination of FUE and FUT and Giga/Mega sessions, with astonishing results.
Female Pattern Baldness (FPB)
A third of women experience the loss of hair at least once throughout their lives. About 2/3 of women suffer from the appearance of bald spots because of genetic factors. The loss of hair has a greater impact on women more than males due to the fact that it’s not considered acceptable socially for women. Alopecia can impact a woman’s psychological state and is an integral role in the mental stress throughout her life. If we look into the root cause of Alopecia and its symptoms, we’ll find that each hair strand is buried in a tiny pore inside the skin, referred to as the hair follicle. The most common cause of baldness is when the hair follicle begins shrinking with period of. In the end, the hair follicle is not producing new hair, and growth is a sign of total loss of hair.
Female Pattern of Hair Loss
If the follicles appear healthy and functioning this indicates that there is a possibility of more hair growth. Female pattern baldness could be due to age or hormonal changes and family history, as well as the use of chemical products, and long-term treatments, etc. In the case of female pattern hair loss (FPB) the majority of women notice that their hair is becoming thinner each day and her facial hair gets more rough.
For Female Pattern Baldness (FPB) hair thins a bit different from male pattern of baldness (MPB). In FPB, hair thins predominantly around the crown and top on the scalp. Gradually, it expands into the middle hair portion. The hairline on the Temporal part is unaffected other than normal recession that happens to all people with the ageing process. In FPB hair loss doesn’t cause complete loss of hair but it gets smaller and, due to the constant loss of hair can make the scalp appear. In Sareen Laser, Cosmetic & Hair Transplant Centre, New Delhi (India); Dr Sareen has a record of providing the most beautiful results in terms of aesthetics of female hair transplants that can be observed from a variety of respected groups and. The hair transplant procedure in Delhi is cost-effective, and when we consider it within the Indian situation, the fact that it can play an important part in deciding the most effective treatment for hair loss.
Hair Transplants to Cure Baldness
Many factors can cause hair loss, which include medical conditions that cause it, the individual and genetic imbalances and psychological or physical factors and the external causes of pollution in the air, polluted waters and chemotherapy, among others. Both genders suffer from Androgenic hair loss. The Androgenic alopecia is genetically predestined to cause hair loss. It is the reason for the shortening of the Anagen phase. It determines the rate of hair growth and prolongs the duration of hair loss and an extended period for growing new hair. But, it takes longer period of time to initiate the growth of new hair that is required to be initiated after the loss of hair during the normal cycle of growth of hair. Hair follicles alters to shrink, resulting in shorter and less slender hair shaft. The natural process is called “follicular diminution.” This results in shorter, tinier hairs that are not pigmented known as “vellus” substitute for the more dense longer-lasting, pigmented “terminal” hairs. Hair transplantation is used as a treatment option from the 50s. The procedure involves removing the scalp strip from the rear of the head, and then using this to create a bald spot. Nowadays, the majority of surgeons who perform hair transplants utilize the method of Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) which was developed in the area of hair restoration in the mid-1990s. In this method surgeons cut off a thin strip of scalp and split it into thousands of grafts. Each graft containing small clusters of 1-4 follicles called Follicular Unit. Each graft is placed in a slit in the scalp. Hair transplanted grows in a natural way in the same way that other hair grows.
In terms of price in the context of cost, the price for hair transplants in India is only one-fourth the cost of those in countries such as those of the USA, UK and Europe and is a significant decision-maker for the patient or client who are our nation.
