Thinning Hair? Catch it before it’s too late
Over 50% of men and women will experience thinning hair at some point in their lives, which will usually lead to hair loss and eventual baldness. The good news for those experiencing thinning hair is that now is the best time to act. Thinning hair, or in other words, the early stages of hair loss, is the best time to reverse the problem and will ensure the highest chances of a full recovery.
After years of treating thousands of cases of thinning hair, Belgravia have found by closely monitoring every case of hair loss, that thinning hair can almost always be fully reversed if caught at the early stages. This means that the hair thinning will be stopped and the hair’s appearance could visually return to its original state from the use of a Belgravia trichological treatment course for thinning hair. Take a look at our patient photo-scans – here you will see the kind of results that patients with different degrees of thinning hair and hair loss achieve.
But what’s the difference between thinning hair and hair loss
The terms ‘thinning hair’ and ‘hair loss’ have very similar meanings and are commonly confused. Thinning hair refers to the early stages of hair loss, where the hair shafts begin to thin with each growth cycle. Thinning hair is usually caused by the effects of DHT on the hair follicles (see male hair loss or female pattern hair loss pages) but can sometimes be cause by other conditions (see the hair loss pages). Once thinning hair has progressed to the point where some hairs have thinned so much that they become vellus (fluffy white hair) which is not always visible to the human eye, this is referred to as ‘hair loss’. Once thinning hair has passed the point of general hair loss and all or most of the hair on the top of the head has become vellus (the head appears shiny), this is referred to as baldness.
Cases of thinning hair and hair loss are treated by Belgravia with great success (see Belgravia’s patient hair loss photo-scans) but once complete baldness has been reached it is very unlikely that hair will be grown back from the use of any treatment. At this stage hair replacement is the most beneficial option.
Women and Thinning Hair
General female hair thinning conditions result in women’s hair becoming diffusely thinner as opposed to complete hair loss of the top of the head. Although most women with genetic hair thinning, diffuse hair loss or telogen effluvium will experience hair loss as well as thinning hair, women will not usually reach the point of complete baldness.
As is the case for men, the pharmaceutical treatment courses that the Belgravia pharmacy prescribe for thinning hair and hair loss will usually prevent any further hair thinning or loss and in many cases will promote re-growth and thicken up the hair. You can see the results that some of our female patients with thinning hair have achieved by visiting our patient photo-scans.
