The Most Effective Prevention and Treatments for Hair Loss

Hair loss is a common, unwelcome reality for many adults in Bangkok, both men and women. Many factors, including heredity, medical conditions, chemotherapy, and hormonal changes, can cause this sometimes inevitable problem.

Heredity as a Factor in Baldness

Most hair loss is caused genetically. If either the paternal or maternal side of your family is bald or balding, It’s likely you’ll also experience hair loss sometime in your life. However, you can put off the inevitable for as long as possible by following some basic preventative hair loss practices.

Be gentle with your hair. Avoid tugging and pulling when brushing or combing it, and use conditioner to keep it tangle-free.
Stop smoking. Many studies have shown that hair loss is linked to smoking in men.
Protect your hair from sunlight and indoor sources of ultraviolet light.

Risk Factors of Hair Loss

Besides a family history of baldness, some of the other risk factors include:

Significant weight loss
Age
Medical conditions, including diabetes and lupus
Poor nutrition
Habitual stress

Start Hair Loss Prevention as Early as Possible

Getting a head start on hair loss prevention may not solve hair loss permanently, but it can provide you with a healthy head of hair for much longer. Hair loss products such as minoxidil (Rogaine) or finasteride can slow down hair loss significantly and keep your existing hair growing strong later in life when you would have naturally started balding.

Rogaine is applied to the scalp twice a day, whereas finasteride is taken orally once a day. Both treatments must be continued once they’re started to be effective. If you stop taking them, hair loss often reoccurs, wasting time and money.

Antiandrogens are medications that inhibit sex hormones that can damage or destroy hair follicles. These medications may stop hair loss in women displaying the beginnings of female pattern baldness. However, please check with your doctor before taking antiandrogens. They’re not suitable for pregnant women and can produce adverse side effects, such as irregular menstrual periods.

Some of the other healthy habits to adopt that can help prevent hair loss are:

Maintain a balanced, nutrient-rich diet
Reduce stress with regular exercise and sleep periods
Use gentle hair-care products
Avoid excessive styling using heat and chemical hair treatments
Start a regular hygienic scalp care treatment plan

Two Hair Loss Treatments Offered by Nirunda Clinic

There are also some hair loss scalp treatments offered by Nirunda Aesthetic Clinics that can be effective at helping you keep your hair strong and growing later in life. We offer two of these treatments at Nirunda Aesthetic Clinic in Bangkok. The treatments include:

AFS Stem Cell Therapy

This treatment uses stem cells’ regenerative and restorative abilities to stimulate new hair growth in areas experiencing hair loss. The process takes about 6 months to 12 months, during which stem cells are injected into balding areas of the scalp, stimulating the scalp to stop shedding and later grow new, strong, and healthy hair.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) Therapy

PRF therapy is the second generation of the popular PRP therapy. It’s an effective, noninvasive treatment that involves drawing a small sample of the patient’s blood and processing it to separate the blood’s components. The platelets and cell growth factors are concentrated into a fibrin matrix and injected into balding areas of the scalp.

The difference between this and PRP therapy is that the centrifuge is spun more slowly in the PRF therapy, allowing some of the layers of blood to retain healing stem cells and white blood cells. The result is that the scalp is nourished and stimulated to keep existing hair from falling out and to grow new, healthy hair. The procedure can also be repeated as needed every six months.

Hair Transplant Surgery: The Permanent Hair Loss Solution

A surgical hair transplant is the only permanent, viable solution for hair loss. In most cases, hair transplants in Bangkok can easily be performed at Nirunda Aesthetic Clinic in less than a day.

We perform Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). Both of these transplant techniques are effective. However, the newer FUE technique involves transplanting individual hair follicles from the donor area to the balding area. The older FUT technique involves removing a strip of skin and cutting the individual follicles from the skin to be transplanted to the balding area.

The newer FUE procedure leaves minimal scarring and provides a quicker recovery period than FUT, which leaves a linear scar, and can be unsuitable for those preferring short hair styles.

Why Choose Nirunda Clinic for Hair Transplants?

At Nirunda Aesthetic Clinic, we provide expert consultation and personalized treatment plans for every patient. Both of our transplant techniques offer natural-looking results with minimal recovery and downtime. Your transplant will be performed by an experienced medical team that maintains an international standard of professional care.
