Hair loss is a completely natural process. In the body, cells are updated, and as a result, every day can drop from 100 to 150 hairs. However, if the number exceeds the specified number, then there is cause for concern and, most likely, it is necessary to turn to the appropriate specialist - trichologist. Below we will consider various popular cosmetics from hair loss. Well, if such a tool is never needed, but still it is better to own such information.
A person can begin to lose hair intensively for very different reasons: it can be a hormonal malfunction in the body due to menopause or pregnancy, perhaps just not enough vitamins, minerals and other necessary substances (for example, iron); problems with the adrenal glands or thyroid gland can also cause hair loss, and in general, the reason may be a simple genetic predisposition to baldness.
A lot of research has been done to find out the cause of alopecia (alopecia) and how to deal with it. It turned out that the reason for this process is the increase in male hormones in the body. Thus androgens begin to destroy hair follicles. Therefore, the most common method of treating alopecia is the use of hormonal drugs. These drugs stop the activity of androgens.
Also, hair loss remedies that contain minoxidil (active substance) are used. This substance is contained in the following preparations: Kirkland Signature, Propecia, Regein, Minoxidil, Alopexy, Spectral.DNC, Vichy, Rogain, Cosilone, Members Mark . These agents extend the blood vessels, thereby increasing the circulation of the scalp. As a result, the activity of the cells of the hair follicles increases, which means active hair growth. This substance has side effects, so it can not be used during pregnancy and lactation. In addition, the substance stimulates hair growth and on the face, so women are rarely prescribed drugs with the content of this substance. Minoxidil is usually prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment.
The same action for another substance - cromakalin. Contains its products company Upjohn Company, which has a patent for its use.
It should be noted that both substances were previously used in hypertension, so they both dilate the vessels and activate the work of atrophied cells. Pinacidil, ethinyl estradiol, dizoxyl, cytperone acetate and other antihypertensive agents increase and open potassium channels and synthesize DNA in follicles.
All these drugs have one, but very significant drawback - they are effective only if the drug is taken continuously.
If the cause of loss is a lack or excess of some substances, the expert can recommend a diet that will contain the necessary substances or special additives. For example, very often hair falls out due to a lack of copper in the body, which is necessary for the synthesis of tyrosinase. A special preparation, Tricomin, was developed, which contains a complex with copper and has been used very successfully for a long time to treat baldness.
With a strong progression of hair loss, folic acid is prescribed.
Another cause of loss may be an excessive number of cosmetic procedures. For example, a woman often paints hair, curls them, etc. In this situation, special masks based on natural ingredients are used to restore and maintain the normal state of hair. One of the first drugs in this series was "Lotion 101", which almost entirely consists of natural ingredients. This tool has an analog - it's "Fabao 101". This is an improved drug and is manufactured by an American company. Also very popular means "Krinagen TM" and "Nutrafolika". In these drugs, in addition to herbs, contains various vitamins, extracts and minerals, antihistamines. The combination of several components and gives the necessary positive effect.
