DR. SUSANNA BENARDON, EXPERT IN TRICHOLOGY, TELLS US ABOUT IT
Today we speak of hair, the cross and delight of men and women alike.
We all spend time and money on hair care. We enjoy the pleasure of having a beautiful, thick, well cared for mane of hair, and as soon as we notice abundant hair loss, we get worried, not to mention the first signs of thinning hair… which is quite dramatic! Nobody likes to lose hair, neither men nor women of any age. Hair loss, which is also called defluvium, can be a sign of metabolic or psychological disorder, or of diseases of the scalp. A medical assessment is essential. Many diseases cause hair loss, namely androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata (also called spot baldness), cicatricial alopecia, thinning and telogen effluvium are the most common. A correct analysis of the causes and type of hair loss is essential to initiate an appropriate therapeutic path. There are endogenous factors, inside the body, such as hormones, iron deficiency, autoimmune diseases, stress and acute diseases, which can impact the health and resistance of hair.
We must also keep in mind that hair loss might be enhanced during certain periods of the year, such as spring (especially April) and autumn.
The wellbeing of hair is decisive for the psychophysical wellbeing of a person. People who are concerned about it must not be ridiculed; instead, they must be adequately supported because the psychological effects can be very important. Whether man or woman, it makes no difference. Care for personal appearance is also a sign of self-love.
Today, platelet-based treatment (PRP) offers effective help for weak stressed hair. It revives the scalp in a few sessions, restoring strength and vitality. This and other effective solutions will be explained to you after a careful trichological examination.
The world of hair is extensive and you can easily lose your way. Advertising, friends, hairdresser, etc. can help but the first opinion must be medical.
Thank you for your attention. I remain at your disposal for any clarifications, doubts or questions you might have.
