Causes and solutions for hair loss
Everyone loses an average of 100 hairs per day . So it is normal to encounter some loose hair from time to time. However, if you lose more hair or develop bald patches, you are dealing with abnormal hair loss, or hair loss. There are several possible causes for this.
Would you like to do something about your hair loss? Sarasin is happy to help you with the best remedies that stimulate new hair growth. We offer surgical treatment for hair transplantation.
What causes hair loss?
It is normal to lose a few hairs a day. This is because of the natural growth process in which new hair grows and old hair constantly falls out. So even healthy hair will fall out at some point.
There are many factors that can affect hair growth, such as age and lifestyle. The hormonal action of your body can also have a big effect on hair loss. For example, during stressful periods, you will lose more hair than when you experience little stress.
What does hair loss look like?
Hair loss does not look the same in everyone. Depending on the type of hair loss, your hair loss will either be very concentrated or rather diffuse. So hair loss does not always mean that entire strands fall out. Sometimes you only get small bald patches or your hair gets thinner.
Here we briefly go over the three major types of hair loss:
Receding hairline
In a receding hairline, the front hairline keeps moving backward. This type of hair loss begins around the temples and then expands. It is more common in men, but women can also suffer from this type of hair loss.
Diffuse hair loss
When there is hair loss all over the scalp without noticeable bald patches, we speak of diffuse hair loss. Often both men and women notice this by a thinner head of hair. With diffuse hair loss, there is often a major underlying cause such as stress or hormonal hair loss.
Round or oval bald spots
In some cases, you get round or oval bald patches scattered over the scalp or body. These are often caused by hair diseases such as alopecia areata, but can also be caused by compulsive behaviors such as trichotillomania.
Depending on the cause, you will need different treatment.
What are the biggest causes of hair loss?
The different types of hair loss can have a variety of causes: from hereditary factors to an underlying health problem. When dealing with hair loss, it is important to know what the cause is so you can find the appropriate treatment.
Hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia)
The most common cause of hair loss in men is androgenetic alopecia, or hereditary hair loss. Women can also suffer from this, but it is usually men who experience the greatest problems with hereditary hair loss.
Androgenetic alopecia is age-related and is strongly influenced by male hormones such as testosterone. In women, it is therefore necessary to first rule out other hormonal disorders.
The diagnosis of adrogenetic alopecia looks primarily at hereditary indicators and other possible health problems. In rare cases, there is an underlying condition.
Alopecia Areata
If hair loss happens very quickly resulting in oval bald patches, chances are you are dealing with an autoimmune disease, namely alopecia areata. In this autoimmune disease, the immune system attacks your own hair follicles, causing your hair to fall out and giving you bald patches.
Fortunately, the hair follicles are not permanently damaged, so with the right treatment, hair growth can be stimulated again. However, there is no treatment for alopecia areata itself. Thus, you cannot be cured of it. The disease does not lead to constant hair loss, so the symptoms are fortunately quite mild and short-lived.
In the case of bald spots, you can look for remedies that stimulate natural hair growth. Sometimes bald spots do not come back after such a treatment!
Health Problems
There are also numerous different causes of hair loss that have to do with your overall health. Hormonal changes or a lack of necessary nutrients can all contribute to hair loss.
Thus, in case of abnormal hair loss, it is best to see a doctor or specialist who can investigate whether there are causes other than hereditary hair loss, for example. Stress can also cause sudden baldness.
Transcending the hair
Hair loss in women is also sometimes due to overstyling the hair. Straighteners, hair dryers and curling irons can damage hair due to their high heat and this can lead to hair loss. Too tight hairstyles or pulling the hair too much can also cause excessive hair loss and thinning hair without an underlying condition.
So it is important for healthy hair growth to take good care of your hair. Even with other conditions, it is advisable to pay attention to what you do with your hair to keep it as healthy as possible.
The best treatments for hair loss
Do you suffer from stubborn hair loss and are looking for an effective aesthetic treatment? At Sarasin Clinic, you can find great treatments for hair loss, such as hair fillers or PRP.
With these treatments, you can stimulate natural hair growth and new hair can grow in certain balding areas.
Hair fillers
Hair filler is an injection treatment that can combat hair loss. DR.CYJ's Hair Filler works with a peptide technology that stimulates the natural growth of hair. The treatment requires about 4 sessions to achieve the desired end result. However, 6 weeks after the first treatment session, you can already see visible results!
Hair fillers are a good option for men and women who suffer from hair loss. Also, those who have had a hair transplant hair filler treatment can also achieve very positive results. This is because after a hair transplant, hair density can still be somewhat low.
In short: for anyone with hair loss or thinning hair, a hair filler can have a positive effect! Only in cases of general alopecia, where there is complete baldness, hair fillers are not an option.

PRP treatment
A PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) treatment is becoming increasingly popular as a remedy for hair loss. A PRP treatment involves isolating body's own cells with many growth factors and injecting them into the problem area to stimulate hair growth. This is done by taking a blood sample and centrifuging it.
The advantage with PRP is that you are much less likely to have allergic reactions and are not injecting foreign substances. Especially after a hair transplant, PRP treatment can enhance the results.
However, PRP may cause a weaker result in some people. In such cases, it is advisable to opt for a hair filler treatment.
