Diagnosing and treatment of hair loss

The diagnosis must be made ​​by a specialist of the scalp

To assess whether hair loss is normal or pathological, the doctor may perform two simple tests: the tensile test or Trichogramma. The first is to exert gentle traction on a strand of hair in three different places (fronto-temporal, parietal, and occipital). If three or more hair stand out, this is not normal. The Trichogramma is to take a lock of hair always in three different places, to examine under a microscope and counting the number of hairs in anagen and telogen phases. The ratio between the number of telogen and anagen hair is abnormal if less than three.

Technique treatment of hair loss

While many commercials tout the merits of various fall protection lotions and varied, it is important to note that their effectiveness is zero and therefore it is useless to waste time and money to try these miracle products ... Treatment with sulfur amino acids (cystine) or vitamins (vitamin B5 and biotin) may be indicated in the course of seasonal hair loss. To treat androgenetic alopecia, only two drugs have some efficacy: minoxidil and finasteride.

* Originally minoxidil was used as a treatment for high blood pressure, but it proved to promote hair growth. It has an action fall within 70% of cases and results in discrete or moderate regrowth in 40% of cases. This treatment is however rather restrictive, since it must be applied on the scalp morning and night. Moreover, its beneficial effects cease upon cessation of the applications.

* Finasteride is a drug that is indicated only in humans, to stabilize androgenetic alopecia unsophisticated: it is taken orally and an anti-hair loss, evaluated in clinical studies, was obtained in 80% of cases and discrete or moderate regrowth in 60% of cases. For cons, the effectiveness of an advanced stage has not been established.

It should be noted that neither of these drugs is reimbursed by Social Security.
