Thinning Hair? Catch it before it’s too late
Over 50% of men and women will experience thinning hair at some point in their lives, which will usually lead to hair loss and eventual baldness. The good news for those experiencing thinning hair is that now is the best time to act. Thinning hair, or in other words, the early stages of hair loss, is the best time to reverse the problem and will ensure the highest chances of a full recovery.
After years of treating thousands of cases of thinning hair, Belgravia have found by closely monitoring every case of hair loss, that thinning hair can almost always be fully reversed if caught at the early stages. This means that the hair thinning will be stopped and the hair’s appearance could visually return to its original state from the use of a Belgravia trichological treatment course. Our patient photo-scans are testament to this – all patients that visit the centre are monitored with these photos and most will see some degree of hair regrowth but the amount varies from person to person. Here they are – BEFORE / DURING TREATMENT PHOTOS.
But what’s the difference between thinning hair and hair loss?
The terms ‘thinning hair’ and ‘hair loss’ have very similar meanings and are commonly confused. Thinning hair refers to the early stages of hair loss, where the hair shafts begin to thin with each growth cycle. Thinning hair is usually caused by the effects of DHT on the hair follicles (see male hair loss or female pattern hair loss pages) but can sometimes be caused by other conditions (see our hair loss problems pages). Once thinning hair has progressed to the point where some hairs have thinned so much that they become vellus (fluffy white hair) which is not always visible to the human eye, this is referred to as ‘hair loss’. Once thinning hair has passed the point of general hair loss and all or most of the hair on the top of the head has become vellus (the head appears shiny), this is referred to as baldness.
As you can see from the patient photo-scans cases of thinning hair and hair loss are treated by Belgravia with great success but once complete baldness has been reached it is very unlikely that hair will be grown back from the use of any treatment. At this stage hair replacement is the most beneficial option.
What’s the difference between men’s and women’s thinning hair?
General female hair thinning conditions are usually limited to women’s hair becoming diffusely thinner. Men’s thinning hair will generally result in baldness without treatment, although this is not always the case and depends on the severity of the condition. Although most women with genetic hair thinning, diffuse hair loss or telogen effluvium will experience hair loss as well as thinning hair, women will not usually reach the point of complete baldness.
As is the case for men, the pharmaceutical treatment courses that the Belgravia pharmacy prescribe for thinning hair and hair loss will usually prevent any further hair thinning or loss and in many cases will promote re-growth and thicken up the hair. Here’s some more information for you…
