Fact or Fiction: Prescription shampoos for scalp diseases cause hair damage.

Fiction!



The two most common scalp diseases are dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. People often view products that treat these conditions as harsh and medicinal. Some hair loss sufferers think they have to choose to live with the scalp problems rather than use with what they fear are harmful chemicals. However, technological now allow prescription shampoos to have the necessary medication to treat dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis while also containing the same mild cleansers found in cosmetic shampoos. When used properly, prescription shampoos can effectively help keep your hair healthy.

Fact or Fiction: Stress is one of the most common causes of Hair Loss:

Fiction!



In some cases, under extreme stress, hair loss can indeed occur, but stress is not a common cause of hair loss. The most common cause of hair loss is genetic.

Even Jon Bon Jovi Suffers From Male Pattern Baldness

Male pattern baldness can be distressing to the regular guy who has a regular haircut and does a regular job but if you are world famous rock star Jon Bon Jovi losing your hair can be catastrophic. Jon Bon Jovi over his career has been identified with his big hair and losing it is said to be causing him a lot of worry.

Jon who is 46 years old has been slowly cutting his hair back from his big hair rocking days in recent years which is a very sensible thing to do. Men who are suffering from male pattern baldness should never try to cover up their hair loss by growing their hair long because it will merely make it more obvious. Short hair is always the way forward to minimise the visual effects of male pattern baldness.

Rumour has it that Jon has started getting treatment for his male pattern baldness but it is not known whether he is using a hair loss drug. Many rock stars, celebrities and film stars whose images are part of their corporate identity often opt for hair transplant surgery when their hair loss becomes noticeable. John Travolta, Mel Gibson and Kevin Costner are all known to have made use of hair transplant surgery to beat the effects of male pattern baldness. We have also previously reported on the fact that Tom Hanks has made use of a hair loss drug with good effects.

You should take a decision about whether your hair is important you immediately when male pattern baldness begins to appear because the longer you delay doing something about it the more likely your treatment will be ineffective. Men who use hair loss drugs at the first sign of male pattern baldness have much higher success rate than those who delay taking it for a number of years.

Fact or Fiction: Improper hair care can lead to hair loss

Fact!

If you wear pigtails or cornrows or use tight hair rollers, the pull on your hair can cause a type of hair loss called traction alopecia. If the pulling is stopped before scarring of the scalp develops, your hair will grow back normally.



However, scarring can cause permanent damage to the hair and scalp. Hot oil hair treatments or chemicals used in perms may cause swelling of the hair follicle, which can also result in scarring and cause permanent hair loss.

FDA APPROVES FINASTERIDE TO TREAT MALE PATTERN HAIR LOSS IN MEN

FDA has approved Propecia for hair loss, making it the first such treatment for men in pill form. The following can be used to answer questions:
The active ingredient in Propecia is finasteride. Finasteride was approved initially in 1992 as Proscar, a treatment for prostate enlargement. There is 1 mg of finasteride in Propecia and 5 mg in Proscar. It was observed that some patients being treated for prostate enlargement had some regrowth of hair in areas of male pattern hair loss.
The sponsor studied 1 mg of finasteride and demonstrated hair growth in male pattern hair loss. The number of hairs increased in the anterior midscalp and vertex. Patient self-assessment of hair growth was also superior to placebo. Side effects were infrequent and were related to sexual function.
The drug will not be marketed for women because it causes birth defects, and the safety and efficacy have not been established in women.
Recently, FDA’s Dermatologic and Ophthalmic Drugs Advisory Committee discussed Propecia. The committee offered labeling suggestions in the context of an overall generally favorable discussion. Merck & Co. of West Point, Pa.,manufactures both Proscar and Propecia.

FDA Talk Papers are prepared by the Press Office to guide FDA personnel in responding with consistency and accuracy to questions from the public on subjects of current interest. Talk Papers are subject to change as more information becomes available.

Different Hair Loss Needs Different Treatment

People must understand the difference between Male Pattern Baldness and other types of hair loss that can be aggravated by stress (Alopecia). Male Pattern Baldness is a hereditary genetic condition and isn’t made any worse by stress. On the other hand some hair loss conditions like alopecia areata can be initiated by stress and anxiety.
People who have extremely stressful lives can sometimes trigger off alopecia areata where their hair starts to fall out in big clumps which in turn increases their stress and aggravates the hair loss condition even more. Alopecia areata is a pretty rare condition which is initiated when psychological or physical stress completely disrupts the body’s immune system which makes it attack hair follicles at the root and destroy them.
Alopecia areata is brought on by completely different things to Male Pattern Baldness and thus must be treated differently. Many people assume that hair loss is all the same and thus can be treated in the same way but this is not the case. You should always get professional advice from a Westminster Trichologist before getting treatment for any type of hair loss.
Male Pattern Baldness can be treated by using the drug Propecia but it will have no affect whatsoever on men and women who suffer from alopecia areata. In the same way treatments for alopecia areata which include the use of anti anxiety drugs and counselling on learning how to deal with stress, will not have any effect on men who are suffering from Male Pattern Baldness.
There are quite a few different types of hair loss which affect men and women and statistics show that those people who go and get a Westminster Trichologist’s consultation are far more likely to reverse hair loss than those who don’t.

New Genetic Hair Loss Breakthrough


The big thing in the world of hair loss research at the moment is genes. Scientists have the located a number of genetic structures which appear in men and women who suffer from hair loss of many different types. Specific genes have been seen to cause male pattern baldness and scientists are working on drugs which could prevent the activation of these genes and thus completely eradicate hereditary hair loss and men in the future.
Recently scientists made another breakthrough which could target men and women who suffer from a very rare form of hereditary hair loss called Maria Unna Hereditary Hypotrichosis (MUHH) which occurs in people who suffer from congenital atrichia. This rare condition produces complete hair loss all over the body when still an infant and the hair never grows back.
Recently scientists working at the Peking Union Medical College in Beijing observed that mutations in a particular compound caused this very rare type of hair loss, and they said that by understanding the mechanisms of this complicated chemical process they were getting a step closer to finding a remedy for all types of genetic hair loss.
Dr Xue Zhang explained that by preventing the production of a gene called HR the hair loss was activated and thus they have began to understand that the HR levels had to be maintained at a certain level to stop the hair loss occuring. Dr Zhang’s Research has been published in the medical journal Nature Genetics.
Men and women who are suffering from genetic hair loss however should not start to rejoice too early because it is unlikely that any serious medication to treat genetic hair loss will be on the market within a decade. The processes and mechanisms of male pattern baldness are extremely complex and scientists say that they have only seen the tip of the iceberg.
