Androgenic Alopecia

Androgenic AlopeciaAndrogenic alopecia is a condition characterized by hair loss as a result of damage on the hair follicles caused by androgens. This is commonly known as male pattern baldness. Although this condition can affect both genders, it is seen mostly in men. It results in thinning of hair and hair loss following a specific pattern. Hair loss normally starts at the area above both temples and progresses to form an “M” shape, and in some cases, it may further progress to form a “U” shape all the way to the back of the head. In some men, loss of hair starts at the crown and forms an “O” shape. It is not easily noticed at first since the area is still covered with healthy hair but as the condition progresses, the affected area gets bigger and more obvious.

Although lifestyle and environmental factors contribute to the onset and progression of androgenic alopecia, this condition is genetic in nature and is largely X -linked. People who are genetically pre-disposed have hair follicles that are abnormally sensitive to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a male sex hormone responsible for the development of secondary male sex characteristics and hair growth. At puberty the body starts producing testosterone. An enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase converts testosterone to DHT thus increasing the DHT level in the body.

There are tiny structures called androgen receptors found in each hair follicle. These receptors tend to have higher affinity to DHT in people with androgenic alopecia. This high concentration of DHT inflicts damage in the hair follicles by reducing its size resulting in abnormal hair growth.

It normally takes approximately 3 to 7 years from the time a new hair grows to the time it falls off. Then a new strand of hair grows. In people with androgenic alopecia, this cycle is shortened. It has also been noted that the gap between each cycle is increased. The shrinking of hair follicles also results in the production of shorter and thinner hair in place of the ones that were shed. These new strands are of poor quality and thus more prone to breakage and falling off. As the hair follicle continues to shrink, it becomes less productive and eventually stops producing hair.

Androgenic alopecia is genetically pre-determined. Men whose parents have this condition are at a high risk of going bald later on in life. Several studies have been done on this subject and it was found that this condition can be reversed. The damaged hair follicles, even if they stopped producing hair, are still alive and thus can be restored to its original state. Researchers have found that certain chemicals such as procerin, aids in reducing the DHT level by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase from converting testosterone to DHT. Procerin also blocks the androgen receptors found in the hair follicles. This condition can also be corrected through surgeries like hair transplant. It is also recommended to make some lifestyle changes in order to eliminate the factors that further contribute to the progression of androgenic alopecia condition.

procerinLooking for the most effective hair loss treatment? I bet you have come across a lot of hair loss treatment products that it is difficult to decide which one is really effective. You might have even tried some products but after a couple of months of using them, it is frustratingly not working. While most of those hair growing products in the market are effective, it may take a few months before you see a visible effect.

Procerin, a hair loss treatment formula especially designed for men, is gaining popularity because of its effectiveness and fast result. Procerin is specially formulated to target the root cause of hair loss. But in order for you to better understand how procerin works, let us first review what causes hair loss.
Around 95 % of hair loss in men is caused by a hereditary condition called androgenic alopecia, commonly known as male pattern baldness. Each hair follicle has androgen receptors which attracts a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is responsible for the development of secondary male sex characteristics, including hair growth. However, in people with androgenic alopecia, the hair follicles are overly sensitive to DHT, thus attracting to itself higher level of DHT than normal. An enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase further aggravates the condition by converting testosterone to DHT. This abnormally high level of DHT in the scalp damages the hair follicles, causing them to shrink. As a result, the hair strands become thinner and shorter. In the advanced stage, the affected hair follicle stops producing hair.

Procerin contains herbs and minerals that act as DHT blockers. They bind to the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase to prevent it from converting testosterone to DHT. Procerine is classified as a natural food supplement so it is free from any side effects. Aside from blocking the production of excess DHT, Procerin also contains ingredients that promote hair growth by reviving the damaged hair follicles. Procerin’s mechanism of action doesn’t affect the testosterone level so it doesn’t result in reduced libido unlike other hair loss treatment products.
Procerin comes in 3 different forms: tablets, shampoo and topical serum that is massaged on the scalp. The most commonly used is the tablet form because it also have other benefits to the body such as boosting your immune system. It is recommended to be taken twice a day with meals to prevent stomach discomfort. Changing your shampoo to the one that contains procerin is also advisable for better result.

Hair growth after taking procerin can be expected as early as 2 weeks but may be as long as 3 months depending on the degree of follicle damage. This is comparatively faster than other formulation like Rogaine which can take up to 4 months or 6 months in Propecia. It is important also to note that hair grows at a rate of ½ inch per month so it is recommended to use procerin for several months until full restoration of the hair follicles is achieved as exhibited by normal hair growth.
Taking procerin can be stopped once the desired effect has already been achieved. Most procerin users report that they don’t experience hair loss after they stopped taking procerin. However, if the cause of hair loss is genetic in nature, there is a chance that the condition might return several months after stopping procerin use. In this case, continuous use of procerin may be necessary, at least in shampoo or serum form.

Hair Loss Treatment

Hair loss is one of the many changes associated with aging. However, some people experience hair loss even at an early age due to damage caused by chemicals, drugs, radiation and chemotherapy. Lack of proper nutrition and some diseases may also cause hair loss. In men, a hereditary condition called androgenic alopecia accounts for about 92 % of hair loss. Androgenic alopecia is also known as male pattern baldness.

Hair loss, except due to chemotherapy, is seldom noticed because it develops slowly. Each hair strand is produced by tiny structures in our scalp called hair follicles. The quality of hair and the rate of hair production are determined by the condition of each hair follicle. When these tiny structures are damaged, hair loss occurs. Hair loss starts with thinning of hair, then gradually progress until such time that some hair follicles would stop producing hair.

According to experts, hair fall of about 50 to 100 per day is normal. This is because we have millions of hair follicles undergoing hair growing cycle. Ideally, once a hair strand fall, a new one will grow in replacement. If the amount of hair lost is greater than the amount produced, hair density lessens and the scalp becomes more visible. It is usually at this stage that people would start asking how hair loss can be reversed.

Since there are different factors that cause hair loss, it is important to identify it first in order to determine which treatment method will be most effective. Here are some classifications of hair loss treatment according to their actions.

DHT Blockers

Hair loss treatment products under this category are especially formulated for people with androgenic alopecia or male pattern baldness. In people with this condition, testosterone is converted to DHT by an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. Excessive amount of DHT in the scalp, leads to hair follicle damage by shrinking it until such time that it would stop producing hair. DHT blockers stop 5-alpha reductase from converting testosterone to DHT. Among the well-known DHT blockers is Procerin.

Hair Growers

While these products stimulate hair growth, they are not designed to correct the root cause of the problem. They are normally combined with other hair loss treatment regimen in order to speed up hair growth. Example of hair growth products is Rogaine.

Anti-inflammatory

In some cases, the cause of hair loss is inflammatory scalp diseases like seborrheic dermatitis which is characterized by flakes on the scalp commonly known as “dandruff”. Sebum builds up in the scalp, causing hair to fall off. Treating this condition first will eventually correct hair loss. Products designed for this purpose come in shampoo form, one of the popular anti-dandruff shampoos is Nizoral Shampoo.

Food Supplements

In order for your hair follicles to produce healthy hair, it requires sufficient amount of nutrients. Eat foods rich in vitamins A, C, E and all the B vitamins. Protein and minerals like Zinc, Silica, and Iron also plays an important role in hair growth. Excellent sources for these nutrients are green and leafy vegetables, citrus, clams, nuts, pepper, grains, oats, fish, meat, eggs and dairy products. Taking food supplements can also help to ensure that you get sufficient amount of all of these nutrients.

Hair loss treatment products come in different form such as tablets, foam, serum, and shampoo. For advanced hair loss, hair transplant surgery may be necessary. It is a very expensive option but it is a permanent fix, especially for people with receding hairline.

How to Prevent Hair Loss

While looking at the photos taken form their last family reunion, 10-year-old John noticed that the older men in their clan seem to have agreed to wear the same hairstyle. Whatever… it wasn’t his business! He may be right… but not until he has to wear the same hairstyle too.

Hair loss doesn’t really become an issue for most people until they can see their scalp through their hair. We have been told that it is normal to shed hair up to 100 strands per day, but who would be counting? Very few realize that is not the number of hair strands that fall out which you should watch out for, it is the rate at which your hair grows. Normal hair growth cycle can take up to 6 years. When a hair strand falls off, the hair follicle starts to produce a new one. Normal hair production relies greatly on the hair follicle. A number of factors cause damage to these hair-producing structures making them unable to produce hair, the hair fall rate becomes greater than the hair production rate. This is where the problem starts.

Since hair loss develops slowly, the problem would come into view when the condition is already in the advance stage wherein a large number of hair follicles are no longer producing hair. At this stage, it would be impossible to restore normal hair production without the aid of hair loss treatment products. Early detection of the risk factors that may pre-dispose you from hair loss and eliminating them is the key to preventing it.

Tips on how to prevent hair loss according to its root cause

  • Androgenic alopecia – also known as male pattern baldness, is the main cause of hair loss in men. Hair loss due to this condition is the result of damage on the hair follicles caused by an androgen called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This type of hair loss is genetic in nature. As in the case of John, he has a high tendency of loosing hair too just like his father and uncles. Taking food supplements that block DHT conversion from testosterone is the most recommended prevention.
  • Hair styling chemicals – young people are fond of experimenting with hairstyle not knowing that those chemicals they use on their hair to get that “cool looks” can damage their scalp and hair follicles. Frequent exposure to hair styling products such as hair gel, wax, hair dye, hair straightening and curling solutions, and even shampoos are found to contribute to hair loss at a later age. When choosing hair styling and hair care products, go for those that are natural-based. They don’t only help prevent hair loss, they also repair damaged hair follicles.
  • Dandruff – this is common to people with oily skin. Sebum builds up at the hair roots and hardens over time. The hardened sebum creates a plug that inhibits oxygen circulation to the hair follicle. The scalp also becomes more susceptible to fungal infections. There are specially formulated shampoos that can be used to treat dandruff and scalp infections.
  • Stress – while it doesn’t have a direct effect to hair loss, stress drains your body of nutrients that are essential to cellular development and maintenance. Lack of nutrients supply to the hair follicles affects normal hair production. This can be addressed through stress management techniques such as relaxation, exercise, and avoiding stressors. Taking food supplements is also a great way to replenish the nutrients in your body.

As an old saying goes, “prevention is better than cure”. This is also true when it comes to addressing hair loss. While there is a wide range of hair loss solutions, taking care of your hair follicles is the key to achieving healthy hair.

Hair Growth Products

There are hundreds of hair growth products in the market all claiming to be the best cure for hair loss. Deciding which product to use can be as challenging as hair loss itself. Each hair growth product has especial formulation designed to treat hair loss according to its cause. Here is a quick guide to the most commonly used hair loss treatment product:

rogaine hair treatment

Minoxidil (Rogaine)

Description:
Rogaine is a topical solution applied directly to the scalp. It stimulates hair follicles to grow hair. It must be used twice a day and it takes up to 4 months before visible effect is seen. Rogaine is proven to be a very effective hair growth product for almost all types of hair loss however, since it doesn’t target the cause of male pattern baldness, it is recommended to use Rogaine with a DHT blocker if used to treat hair loss secondary to this condition.
Special Consideration:
While Rogaine is very effective in treating hair loss on the crown area it doesn’t do much for frontal hair loss. Permanent use of Rogaine is necessary to prevent hair loss from returning.

Finasteride (Propecia)

Propecia
Description:
Propecia inhibits 5-alpha reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT. This is recommended for people with androgenic alopecia. Those who have used Propecia reported decreased hair loss and slight hair growth. Propecia is available in tablet form and must be taken once a day.
Special Consideration:
Propecia must be used continuously for at least 6 months before it takes effect. Studies also found that it can cause impotence and decreased libido. It doesn’t treat frontal hair loss and receding hairline.
procerin

Procerine

Description:
Procerine is an all-natural hair loss treatment product especially formulated to treat hair loss due to androgenic alopecia. It stops DHT conversion from testosterone by binding itself to 5-alpha reductase. It has been proven to stop hereditary hair loss and aids in reviving damaged hair follicles thus promoting hair growth. It is available in tablet form, which must be taken twice a day and also in serum form, which is applied directly to the scalp.

It rejuvenates hair follicles helping it to produce thicker hair. It normally takes 4 to 5 weeks before visible effect to take place.
Special Consideration:
There are no known side effects of Revivogen however mild scalp irritation has been noted in no greater than 2% of users.

Restoring lost hair takes a very slow process since hair grows at a speed of ½ inch per month and up to 5 years for each hair strand to achieve its maximum length. There is no quick fix for hair loss but there is an assurance that although it may be a slow process, hair growth is guaranteed if appropriate hair loss treatment product was chosen.

Thinning Hair

Thinning hair is the first visible sign of hair loss. As we age, gradual thinning of hair happens, this is called involution alopecia. Normally, each hair strand would grow for 5 years then it will undergo a resting period. On its sixth year, the hair would fall off and a new hair growth cycle starts. There are several factors that may contribute to the shortening of hair growth phase. As a result, the hair strand produced is shorter and finer.

In most cases thinning hair starts at the temporal area and then progresses to the frontal area and then towards the crown of the head. This type of hair loss is more pronounced in people with male pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia. Male pattern baldness is a hereditary condition wherein the body converts testosterone to DHT. Excessive amount of DHT causes the hair follicles to shrink, therefore reducing its diameter. As a result, thinner and weaker hair strands are produced. Over time, the hair follicles close and become inactive, resulting in baldness.

Hair styling products, shampoo, and other chemicals applied on the hair can also damage the hair follicles. Hair coloring and hair straightening products also contain chemicals that weaken the hair strands causing them to break and fall off easily thus decreasing hair volume. Extra care must be taken when using chemical hair styling products as they can lead to permanent hair follicles damage.

Thinning hair can be corrected with the aid of hair growth products. These products come in different forms such as tablets, shampoo, serum or foam. If the cause of thinning hair is male pattern baldness (meaning you have a family history of hair loss), using DHT inhibitors such as Procerin and Propecia will prevent follicle damage and promote hair growth.

Hair grower products such as Rogaine help correct thinning hair by stimulating hair growth. Rogaine is a topical solution that is applied directly on the scalp. It stimulates the hair follicles to increases the length of anagen (hair growth stage). The new hair strands become thicker and longer resulting in increased hair volume. This is very effective in treating involution alopecia and other forms of hair loss. However, Rogaine is not a product of choice in androgenic alopecia since it is not designed to address the root cause of the problem which is the increased DHT level.

Receding Hairline

receding hairlineThe first visible sign of hair loss is a receding hairline. In most cases, there will be a remarkable thinning of hair on the temporal area. Then, the hairline starts to recede until a widow’s peak is formed. At this point the hairline appears to be “M” shaped. This is why it is also referred to as “male pattern baldness”. If left untreated, the frontal hairline may further recede to the back, leaving the crown bare.

Our hair, because of its location and the wide area that it occupies on our head, is the first thing that people would see in us. Most people regard having a full head of hair as a sign of youth and vigor. Unfortunately, hair loss comes naturally as we age and men are at a higher risk of loosing hair compared to women. There are several factors that contribute to hair loss, such as improper hair care, frequent use of styling products that may contain chemicals that can cause damage to the scalp, poor nutrition, severe stress, scalp infection, chronic illness, drugs side effects, and chemotherapy. In men, hair loss characterized by a receding hairline is caused by a hereditary condition called androgenic alopecia.

Hair loss due to androgenic alopecia is caused by abnormally high concentration of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). At puberty, men start producing testosterone. An enzyme called 5-alpha reductase binds to free testosterones in the body and convert them to DHT leading to increased level of this androgen in the body. DHT is responsible for hair growth however, too much DHT in the scalp can damage the hair follicles causing them to shrink. Over time, the hair follicles continue to reduce in diameter until they close and stop producing hair.

The onset of hair loss in people with family history of male pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia starts at puberty. Because we have millions of hair follicles on our head, hair loss won’t be noticed until a large number of hair follicles have stopped producing hair. Receding hairline happens very slowly that very few people would notice it until age 30 and above.

Although receding hairline is genetically pre-determined, it can be prevented. Hair experts recommend using DHT blockers right after puberty. DHT blockers are products that inhibit 5 alpha reductase from converting testosterone to DHT. They are available in different preparations such as tablets, serum, foam and shampoo. DHT blockers are proven to be highly effective in preventing and reversing receding hairline because it also rejuvenates damaged hair follicles, helping them to produce hair once again.

Receding Hairline Treatment

Has your hairline started to regress? Then you must be looking for the best treatment for your receding hairline. In most cases, hair loss in men is hereditary so if you have a strong family history of this condition you are at high risk of going bald just like your male relatives. Hmm, I can imagine you frowning at that statement. Don’t worry, the good news about this kind of hair loss is that it can be prevented and reversed.

Receding hairline treatment may be done in 3 ways: surgical treatment, laser therapy or by using hair loss treatment products.

Hair Transplant

A qualified hair surgeon will harvest healthy hair and its hair follicle from the back part of the head and “transplant” it on the frontal area. Hair follicles at the back of the head have been found to be resistant to DHT, a hormone that attacks hair follicles causing them to shrink and eventually stop producing hair. The transplanted hair will fall off within a few weeks but a new one will grow in its place. This type of hair restoration is proven to be very effective and it is a permanent fix for frontal hair loss.

Laser Hair Restoration Treatment

This is done by directing low level laser lights into the scalp. The light energy is absorbed by the scalp, increasing blood circulation into the area. By increasing the blood supply to the scalp, the hair follicles get access to more nutrients, thus promoting hair growth. Light energy coming from the laser beam also energizes damaged cells, allowing them to repair themselves.
Multiple sessions may be required in order to achieve the best result. It is also recommended to use hair loss treatment products while undergoing laser therapy to compliment its effect.

Use of Hair Loss Treatment Products

There are several products that can help stop hair loss and promote hair growth. Since receding hairline in men is commonly caused by increased DHT level, you must use hair loss treatment products that contain DHT inhibitors. Here are some of the most commonly used DHT inhibitors:

  • Provillus – Provillus is a very effective DHT inhibitor that is approved by FDA. It contains natural ingredients, including saw palmetto which effectively corrects DHT level in the body. Provillus also promotes hair re-growth by providing nourishment to the hair follicles, helping them to regenerate and repair the damage caused by DHT.
  • Procerine – Procerine is a herbal food supplement designed to stop hair loss associated with DHT by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase from converting testosterone to DHT. It also promotes hair growth and since it is all natural, there are no side effects like sexual dysfunction which is seen in other hair loss treatment products.
  • Revivogen – Revivogen is a topical solution for hair loss caused by DHT. It contains ingredients that protect hair follicles from the harmful effects of DHT by blocking the conversion of testosterone into DHT. Revivogen comes in 3 preparations, Scalp Therapy, Bio-Cleansing Shampoo and Thickening Conditioner.

It is also important to note that hair grows at a rate of 1 inch every 2 months so once you have started to undergo receding hairline treatment, you must give it at least 6 months before you can expect visible result.
