Hair Loss

Hair loss can be an emotionally distressing experience, affecting not only how we look, but how we feel about ourselves. Whether it’s thinning hair, receding hairlines, or even full-on bald spots, hair loss can impact our self-esteem and confidence. At Fiji Skin Clinic, we understand the emotional toll of hair loss and offer tailored treatments to help you regain a fuller, healthier head of hair.

Let’s explore the causes of hair loss and the advanced treatments available to address it. Let’s delve into what may be behind your hair thinning and how you can take action to restore your natural hair.

What Causes Hair Loss?

Hair loss can result from a variety of factors, including genetics, lifestyle choices, medical conditions, and environmental factors. Here are some common causes of hair loss:

Genetics

Genetic hair loss is one of the most common causes, especially in men. Androgenic alopecia, often referred to as male-pattern baldness or female-pattern hair loss, is inherited and typically begins with a gradual thinning or recession of the hairline. This can be managed with the right treatments to slow the process and promote new hair growth.

Hormonal Imbalances

Hormones play a crucial role in hair growth, and any imbalance can lead to hair thinning or shedding. Conditions like pregnancy, menopause, thyroid issues, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can lead to hormonal changes that affect hair follicles. If your hair loss is linked to hormonal fluctuations, addressing the underlying hormonal imbalance is key to restoring hair growth.

Stress

Physical or emotional stress can trigger a type of hair loss known as telogen effluvium. This condition causes hair to fall out more easily, often in large clumps. Stress-induced hair loss can occur several months after a stressful event, and though it may resolve on its own, treatment can help speed up the recovery process.

Nutritional Deficiencies

Deficiencies in key vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, biotin, and vitamin D can contribute to hair thinning and loss. A well-balanced diet rich in essential nutrients supports healthy hair growth. However, sometimes supplementation may be necessary to address specific deficiencies.

Autoimmune Conditions

Certain autoimmune diseases, such as alopecia areata, cause the immune system to attack hair follicles, leading to patchy hair loss. Other conditions, like lupus, can also cause hair loss as a secondary symptom of the illness.

Medications & Treatments

Some medications, especially chemotherapy drugs, blood thinners, and those used to treat high blood pressure or depression, can cause hair loss as a side effect. If you suspect a medication may be contributing to your hair loss, consult with your healthcare provider for possible alternatives.

Allergies & Intolerances

Food allergies and intolerances can sometimes trigger hair loss, particularly if your body reacts negatively to certain foods. Stress on the body caused by allergic reactions or intolerances may affect hair follicles, contributing to shedding. Identifying and eliminating these triggers can help improve your hair growth.

Effective Treatments for Healthy Hair

At Fiji Skin Clinic, we offer advanced treatments designed to stimulate hair regrowth, improve hair health, and slow down the progression of hair loss. Here are two treatments that can help you combat hair loss effectively:

Microneedling with Exosomes Using CO₂TargetCool

Microneedling combined with Exosomes is an innovative treatment that combines the benefits of microneedling with the power of exosomes. Exosomes are tiny particles derived from stem cells, and they play a crucial role in healing and regenerating tissues. When applied to the scalp, exosomes help stimulate hair follicles and promote the regeneration of hair growth. The cooling component of the CO₂TargetCool technology ensures that the treatment is soothing and comfortable, while the exosomes target the root causes of hair loss, accelerating healing and hair rejuvenation. This treatment can be particularly effective for individuals experiencing thinning due to stress, genetics, or hormonal changes.

Allergy & Intolerance Testing

In some cases, balding may be triggered by food allergies or intolerances. If you have noticed thinning hair after consuming certain foods, it could be due to your body’s immune response to an allergen. At Fiji Skin Clinic, we offer allergy and intolerance testing to identify potential triggers that may be affecting your hair health. By pinpointing and eliminating the foods that are causing stress on your system, you can reduce inflammation and improve hair regrowth. This is an important step in addressing the root cause of your hair loss, especially if allergies or sensitivities are contributing to your thinning hair.

Regain Confidence and Nourish Your Hair Health

Hair loss can feel uncontrollable, but with the right approach and treatments, you can regain your confidence and achieve fuller, healthier hair. Whether the cause is genetic, hormonal, or linked to nutritional deficiencies, effective solutions are available to help you restore your hair’s vitality. At Fiji Skin Clinic, we are committed to providing personalised, results-driven treatments that address your unique hair loss concerns.
