Types of Hair Fall

The XOGEN hair treatment effectively combats all forms of hair loss. Losing hair can cause distress and pose other challenges to many. Understanding the type of hair loss is crucial to finding the appropriate treatment and management approach. The following sections discuss the common types of hair loss in men and women.

Types of Hairfall in Men

The common forms of hair fall observed in men include:

1. Androgenetic Alopecia (Male Pattern Baldness)

   :

   This is the most prevalent form of hair loss in men. It first appears as a receding hairline, eventually leading to a balding crown. Androgenetic alopecia is mainly caused by genetic factors and the action of the DHT (dihydrotestosterone) hormone.

2. Alopecia Areata

   :

   It is an autoimmune condition in which the body mistakenly attacks its hair follicles. This leads to a sudden loss of hair in the scalp and/or body patches. The damage to the follicles can be permanent if left unaddressed.

3. Traction Alopecia

   :

   This form of hair loss is brought about by continuous tension on the hair from wearing tight hats and caps or hairstyles like men's ponytails and braids. It can be prevented by opting for gentler hairstyles and leaving the hair loose.

4. Telogen Effluvium

   :

   It is a temporary condition triggered by stress, illness, or nutritional deficiencies. Telogen effluvium shifts the body into survival mode, which focuses its energy and nutrients on the processes necessary for survival. Therefore, the hair follicles do not get enough nutrients and move into the resting phase (telogen), which eventually causes them to fall off prematurely.

Types of Hairfall in Women

The common forms of hair fall observed in women include:

1. Androgenetic Alopecia (Female Pattern Baldness)

   :

   It is the most prevalent form of hair loss in women, and it is characterised by a diffuse thinning of the hair on the scalp. Unlike men, pattern baldness in women is most noticeable along the hair part as it gradually widens. Hormonal changes and menopause usually trigger this condition.

2. Alopecia Areata

   :

   Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder in which the body attacks its hair follicles. The onset of this condition is sudden, and the hair falls in patches. It can affect women of all ages.

3. Telogen Effluvium

   :

   Telogen effluvium works the same in women as in men. As a result, females usually experience diffuse hair thinning, which generally regrows within six to twelve months. Women may experience this condition after childbirth, surgery, or severe stress.

4. Traction Alopecia

   :

   This is observed in women wearing tight hairstyles like ponytails, braids, and hair extensions or wearing tight hats. Opting for gentler hairstyles and gentle hair care methods can prevent hair fall.

Understanding the Root Causes of Hair Loss

Several factors can cause hair loss, each influencing your hair health differently. Understanding these factors is key to finding effective solutions. The following sections discuss some major causes of hair loss.

1. Genetic Factors

   :

   Genetics is the cause of about 98% of cases of hair loss in men and 50% of that in women. Androgenetic alopecia, also called male or female pattern baldness, is the most common genetic factor causing hair loss. The DHT (dihydrotestosterone) hormone can further worsen this.

2. Hormonal Changes

   :

   Hormonal imbalances or fluctuations can affect both men and women. However, they are more common among women during pregnancy and menopause or if they have thyroid disorders or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Hormonal fluctuations disrupt the hair growth cycle, causing hair thinning or shedding.

3. Medical Conditions

   :

   Medical conditions like autoimmune disorders, chronic illnesses, and scalp infections can also cause hair loss. Autoimmune diseases contributing to hair loss include alopecia areata, diabetes, and lupus. Chronic diseases like kidney, liver, and inflammatory bowel disease can cause hair loss due to the body's weakened state and nutritional deficiencies. Similarly, fungal infections like ringworm can damage hair follicles, leading to sudden, patchy hair loss.

4. Nutritional Deficiencies

   :

   Lack of essential vitamins and minerals, particularly iron, vitamin D, and zinc can weaken hair and cause it to fall out.

5. Stress and Trauma

   :

   Any significant emotional or physical stress or trauma can trigger telogen effluvium, a temporary form of hair loss. Physical stress from surgery or major illness can also shock the hair cycle, leading to temporary hair loss.

6. Medications and Treatments

   :

   Certain medications, like those for arthritis, cancer, depression, high blood pressure, and heart problems, can lead to hair loss as a side effect. Treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy also trigger hair fall. If you experience this, consider discussing alternative medication, treatment, or ways to manage the side effects with your doctor.

7. Hairstyles

   :

   Wearing tight hairstyles that continuously pull on the scalp can trigger traction alopecia.

8. Environmental and Lifestyle Factors

   :

   Contact with toxins, including chemicals and heavy metals, can damage hair follicles, leading to hair loss. Similarly, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can negatively impact your hair health.

Benefits of Exosome Therapy for Hair Loss

Several studies have assessed the benefits of using exosomes for hair regeneration. These studies show that exosome therapy for hair loss is a safe and effective solution.

Some major advantages of using exosomes for hair loss include:

• It introduces growth factors and signaling molecules that stimulate the hair follicles and promote natural hair growth.
• Using exosomes for hair growth enhances the hair growth cycle, leading to thicker, fuller hair.
• It is non-invasive and simply involves the absorption of exosomes into the scalp.
• Exosomes are anti-inflammatory agents that reduce inflammation and offer a more favorable environment for hair growth. This especially benefits individuals who experience hair loss due to scalp conditions.
• This method harnesses the body's natural healing mechanisms, reducing the risk of complications.
• Hereditary hair loss was once considered untreatable, but this treatment provides an effective solution
• The exosome therapy is relatively quick and requires minimal downtime.
• It can provide long-lasting results by addressing the underlying causes of hair loss.
• Exosome treatment for hair loss is versatile and can be used for different types of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium, and alopecia areata in both men and women.
• The recipients of this treatment also report improvement in hair quality, including stronger, thicker, and more voluminous hair.

The Science Behind XOGEN's Effectiveness

Dr Batra's® XOGEN treatment uses exosomes for hair growth. Exosomes are naturally secreted by the cells and are rich in proteins, lipids, RNA, and other bioactive molecules. They facilitate cellular communication, transfer genetic information, and regulate various biological processes.

Using exosomes for hair loss treatment stimulates the stem cells of the hair follicles. It prolongs the growth phase and reduces inflammation, creating a favourable environment for hair growth. Injecting exosomes into the target areas delivers growth factors and microRNAs that regulate gene expression, promoting hair follicle health and activity. By enhancing cellular signalling and protein transfer, exosomes support hair growth and improve hair quality.
