Why does hair fall out in the spring?

According to Veronika Fedorova, chief beautician of MilFay beauty salons, this is due to a lack of B vitamins, zinc, calcium, folic acid and selenium. And it can be due to two reasons – a lack of trace elements in the diet or violations in their absorption.

To find out the true causes, you need to have a check-up and donate blood for tests. Ekaterina Anchikova, cosmetologist, dermatologist and specialist in hardware cosmetology at the LNC, believes that the following tests are of great importance: clinical and standard biochemical blood tests; the level of thyroid and female genital hormones (for girls); diagnosis of parasitic infections.

After that, you need to contact a cosmetologist. It will determine the factor causing hair loss and make an accurate diagnosis. “In cases where hair loss begins due to an acute illness, after a hormonal physiological change or an aggressive effect on the scalp (hair growth, complex dyeing), the beautician often recommends “promoting” the normal functioning of the hair follicles. Ekaterina Anchikova – Therefore, a special set of procedures is envisaged, for example mesotherapy, plasma therapy, reflexology or dropper.” See below for more details on each procedure.

vascular stage

This preparatory procedure is recommended to be carried out before the main therapy. “In this process, the doctor injects certain drugs into the cervical collar region and along the paravertebral lines. It triggers a series of reactions aimed at improving and normalizing blood circulation, venous outflow, lymphatic drainage, innervation and other bioprocesses in the body, especially in the head area, says beautician Ekaterina Anchikova. This preliminary procedure is often used by therapists, neurologists, reflexologists and other specialists in their practice.

mesotherapy

This method is popular because of its high efficiency and short duration. The process takes about 10 minutes.

“In the mesotherapy process, microinjections of a certain drug are made to the scalp area. They may contain vitamins, minerals, amino acids, peptide complexes, placental components. But there is one though. The procedure is quite painful. Each of our hair has its own nerve. And when we create 100-150 skin punctures with a needle, multiple irritations occur in sensitive nerve receptors. The recommended course is 6-10 procedures with an interval of 1-2 weeks,” says Ekaterina Anchikova.

Preparations for mesotherapy are selected individually. For example, cosmetologist Veronika Fedorova highlights the following drugs:

Meso-Genesis BP3 – a new generation peptide-containing drug for the effective correction of non-cicatricial alopecia.

– Stops premature hair loss.

– Activates new hair formation in thinning and shedding areas.

– Provides restoration of hair thickness and density.

– It helps to improve the regeneration of hair root cells.

Mesofarm Hair X – a drug containing a complex of special amino acids, vitamins B12, B1, B5, B2, B3, B6, K, A, E, C and high molecular peptides. It is suitable for the following problems:

– hair loss and slow growth;

– thin, dull, dry and lifeless hair;

– skin problems such as irritation, dryness, itching, burning;

– hair loss;

– dandruff and seborrhea.

plasma therapy

The procedure initiates the regeneration of skin cells and tissues and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. Therefore, it is used in various fields of cosmetology, including promoting hair growth. Venous blood is used for the procedure. The doctor processes it in a special centrifuge, and then injects it into problem areas of the skin.

“There are different plasma treatment methods that differ from each other in the test tube and centrifuge used. For example, in an ordinary test tube – ordinary plasma. And there is platelet-rich plasma in the PRP tube,” says Ekaterina Anchikova. – If you need to improve the quality and growth of hair for prevention, conventional plasma therapy is suitable. If there are more serious ailments, it is better to use local PRP therapy. By the way, it is much less painful than mesotherapy.”

thulium laser

The LaseMD thulium laser is the only device in the world that accelerates hair growth and treats alopecia and seborrhea. “This is a fractional ablative laser system where laser energy creates microchannels through which the skin is treated. The doctor treats the scalp using a special applicator and then applies a separate ampoule designed to revitalize the scalp and restore hair growth,” says Veronika Fedorova.

PRRN stimulation

It reads like polydeoxyribonucleotides. Many cosmetologists-trichologists consider the procedure as a separate type of hair growth stimulation. From the effects of PDRN – improvement of hair quality, increase in density, recovery of growth, treatment of androgenetic and telogen alopecia, prevention of gray hair and age-related changes in hair follicles. But there are several nuances.

“First, such stimulation has a high risk of allergic reactions and is not suitable for people with a high degree of sensitivity. Secondly, they can stimulate the functionality of the follicle so strongly that if you have a deficiency of any mineral or vitamin, all the remaining reserves are spent on the active work of the hair. Therefore, such stimulation is often replaced or combined with vitamin-mineral complexes of local or systemic action. In other words, special protocols are created for the sequencing of mesotherapy and PDRN drugs. In addition, patients like the procedures performed with PDRN more. This is because this technique is often used: the drug is injected in a small volume of only 20-30 injections. And it is an almost painless procedure. The main principle of PRRN stimulation is few and rare,” says Ekaterina Anchikova.
