Introduction: Hair loss is a common problem that many people face

Hair loss can be a distressing experience for many people. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress, poor nutrition, aging, 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: This is an autoimmune disorder that causes patchy hair loss on the scalp or other areas of the body. It occurs when the immune system attacks hair follicles, resulting in hair loss.

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

Traction Alopecia: This type of hair loss is caused by tension on the hair follicles, often due to tight hairstyles or hair accessories. 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.

In a study of Chinese patients with alopecia areata, 61.5% had a family history of the condition, based on a study compiled by Wellaholic.

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 type of hair loss is known as male or female pattern baldness and is often inherited from a family member. 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. Factors such as pregnancy, menopause, and conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can lead to hormonal imbalances that result in 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.

Type of Hair Loss	Prevention	Treatment
Androgenetic Alopecia (male and female pattern baldness)	– Avoid tight hairstyles that pull on the hair – Use mild shampoos and conditioners – Maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine	– Topical minoxidil solution or foam – Oral finasteride – Microneedling for scalp – Hair transplant surgery
Telogen Effluvium	– Manage stress – Eat a balanced diet – Avoid harsh hair treatments – Get adequate sleep	– No specific treatment – Hair usually regrows on its own once the underlying cause is addressed
Alopecia Areata	– No known prevention method	– Topical or injectable corticosteroids – Topical immunotherapy – Oral immunosuppressants – Microneedling for scalp – Hair transplant surgery
Traction Alopecia	– Avoid tight hairstyles that pull on the hair – Alternate hairstyles to reduce tension on the hair – Use gentle hair care products	– Discontinue tight hairstyles – Massage scalp to improve blood flow – Topical minoxidil solution or foam – Microneedling for scalp
Scarring Alopecia	– No known prevention method	– Treatment depends on the underlying cause – May include topical or oral corticosteroids, antibiotics, or immunosuppressants – Microneedling for scalp – Hair transplant surgery
Anagen Effluvium	– Avoid harsh hair treatments such as chemical relaxers or dyes – Avoid exposure to radiation or chemotherapy drugs	– No specific treatment – Hair usually regrows on its own once the underlying cause is addressed

“Say goodbye to hair loss and welcome in a new era of scientific breakthroughs – your confidence will thank you!”

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 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 of 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, the hair loss may be permanent.

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 fluctuations can cause hair to become thicker and fuller, but after childbirth, the body’s hormones return to their pre-pregnancy levels and the extra hair may fall out.

Stress and Hair Loss. Stress can also be a contributor to hair loss. 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. 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 experiencing excessive hair loss after childbirth or another stressful event, it’s important to see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. They can help determine the underlying cause of your hair loss and develop a personalized treatment plan to help manage your symptoms. 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

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. If the cause is a medication you are taking, your doctor may be able to prescribe a different medication that does not cause hair loss. 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 has been numerous research studies which shows the effectiveness of microneedling with Minoxidil for hair growth.

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

• In 2013, 100 men with Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) were recruited to take part in a study which tested the effects of microneedling on hair growth. 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

Study 2: Response to Microneedling Treatment in Men with Androgenetic Alopecia Who Failed to Respond to Conventional Therapy (2015) [source]

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 improve the flow of blood.
• This vasodilating 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 trans-dermally 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 luster and volume to thinning hair.
• The technology at the root of the treatment is based on the understanding that most hair loss problems are a result of lack of proper nutrients, reduced blood circulation to the scalp, and hormone imbalances (DHT, in particular) 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.

According to a 2014 study, low-level laser therapy appeared to be safe and effective for 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.

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.
