We should not worry about the occasional hair loss in the months of spring and autumn, seasons in which the hair is renewed every day and in which approximately 100 hairs in telogen phase (fall) fall out and another 100 hairs are renewed in anagen phase (growth).
However, when this fall is when we have to be alert. Its symptoms are the loss of hair thickness, when the scalp is more visible, when the hair is becoming weaker, and more hair falls out than it grows, entrances begin to appear at an early age ...
Currently, hair loss and alopecia affects 60 percent of the population over 18, according to a study published by the Institut Vila-Rovira , which serves more than 1000 patients concerned about the health of their hair .
Then, the first thing we would have to do would be to diagnose the type of alopecia at the medical level, since there are more than 100 different types (hormonal, genetic, autoimmune causes, food, drugs, stress, internal diseases, etc.) and once the Alopecia, the treatment is different.
Vitamins for hair: the best foods and products
We asked Sergio Vañó , trichologist and coordinator of the Trichology Unit of the Ramón y Cajal University Hospital in Madrid and director of the Trichology and Hair Transplant Unit of the Pedro Jaén Group clinic who assures us that for the most frequent form of alopecia (alopecia androgenic), the treatments that have proven most effective are "anti-androgen drugs (dutasteride, finasteride) that are used orally, in the form of microinjections or topically, topical minoxidil (present in many anti-hair loss cosmetics) or more recently in low dose pills, low power laser, platelet rich plasma and microneedling. "
But in addition, the expert points out that in the future "there will be treatments with stem cells undergoing experimentation and some vitamin supplements such as saw palmetto or melatonin that can help improve hair cosmetically , " says the expert.
In addition, it also influences the fall, according to the medical director of the MC360 capillary health clinic , Pablo Naranjo , a good diet, since it positively affects the capillary health. "Nutrition rich in vitamins can help us slow down or weaken this intense hair loss. The most necessary hair vitamins are vitamin A, B, C and B12. The essential minerals for strong hair are iron, copper, zinc, biotin and folic acid. "
And of course, topical treatments to use at home that improve hair loss such as shampoos, lotions, vitamin blisters and anti-hair loss assets ...
Microscanner: a solution to know the state of your scalp
To prevent hair loss, nothing like discovering the health of your scalp in terms of irritation, hair loss and peeling. And in that sense, nothing like the Hairdreams Stop & Grow Microscanner , a hair regrowth treatment, which recommends performing a hair study that allows you to see what stage the hair is in, the type of dirt it presents, if the pores are clogged for some reason, if the follicle is strong or if there is a greater generation of dandruff in it or if poor capillary health is due to causes such as poor diet, stress, hormonal changes derived from different reasons such as menopause or pregnancy, among others, etc.
All of them can cause weakening of the roots and hair strands which, in turn, over time, leads to a significant loss of hair or density.
Implants of growth factors and fatty tissue stromal cells
The newest technique employed by Dr. Ramón Vila-Rovira for the treatment of alopecia in men and women is the implantation of growth factors that the body itself produces and fatty tissue stromal cells that divide very easily forming new working cells. actively in the implanted area. Through this cellular work the hair cycle is reactivated, vascularization with more oxygen and nutrients increases and the quantity of follicles and hair quality are increased.
Hair laser to combat hair loss
The Hairmax Prima 9 LaserComb hair laser reverses hair loss and regenerates its natural growth cycle. It can be used 3 times a week on alternate days, to see the results. This device sends therapeutic light energy to the weakened hair follicles through 9 medium-grade lasers (without LEDs) that work through the photobio-stimulation process that gently cleanses, moisturizes, exfoliates and strengthens the scalp and follicles to obtain Dense, thicker and fuller hair. In addition, its benefits are multiple because it treats hair loss, stimulates the growth of new hair and repairs and rejuvenates weak and brittle hair.
Hair mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is very effective for hair problems in general and the fall in particular, since it reactivates the cycle of functioning of the hair follicles. It is a fast, convenient and simple technique to apply, and allows the progressive release of micronutrients (amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and PRP (platelet rich plasma), which are injected intradermally (less than 4 millimeters from the surface of the skin) and of the medications themselves.The response to mesotherapy in each patient is conditioned by hereditary factors, but is especially effective in acute problems or the initial stages of chronic processes.

Hair transplant
One in three hair transplant patients is female and the number of them undergoing hair transplants has increased by 25 percent in recent years. There are centers that use robots to perform non-aggressive hair transplants, without scars and with natural and definitive results.
The director of Imema , Dr. Eduardo López Bran , tells us that this type of transplant and its technology incorporates two novelties that improve its results: the ArtasHair Studio , a 3D application that allows to design and customize the treatment to show the patient a simulation of the result, prior to transplantation to visualize the expected results. And on the other hand, the Site Making, a software for making the incisions in the receiving area (bald) with the parameters of the design made previously. The robot makes the incisions at a rate of 1,000 per hour, standardizes their depth and minimizes damage to the receiving area, respecting pre-existing hair, if any.
This second generation of robots also incorporates the possibility of automatically selecting the follicular units based on the number of hairs they have. In this way, only follicular units that have two or more hairs are selected, achieving a greater number of hairs, with a smaller number of incisions and a better aesthetic result.
At this time, two of the three steps of the transplant (the removal of the follicle and the making of the incisions for implantation), are performed by the robot more quickly and accurately, which reduces the intervention time and improves the final result. And the third step, the implantation of the follicle, must still be done manually by an expert team, although Restoration Robotics is already working on the third generation of robots that will also carry out this task.
