Hair loss problem is not new. The term to refer to hair loss hair loss suggested Aristotle, and he is still widely used in medicine.
Treatment of alopecia - is doable by using modern medical technology problem. Treatment of alopecia may the two main methods:
• non-surgical treatment of baldness;
• Surgical treatment of baldness (by transplanting one's own hair).
In order to effectively deal with baldness, a better understanding of the processes of growth and development of hair and determine the cause of their loss.
Hair growth - this is a cyclical process. Each hair periodically passes through three main phases of growth:
• anagen - a phase of hair growth;
• catagen - a phase of stopping hair growth (regressive);
• telogen - resting phase (there is hair loss).
An average of 10 to 15% of our hair are in a resting stage. Normal daily hair loss is from 50 to 100 pieces. The average rate of hair growth does not exceed 1-1,5 cm / month.
Advances in modern medicine in the treatment of alopecia revealed and to deal effectively with the major causes of hair loss.
Male pattern baldness
The most common type of hair loss - androgenetic alopecia. Statistics show that over 1 / 3 of men worldwide suffer from hair loss androgenetic type. Androgenetic alopecia is caused by hereditary and can be transmitted not only through the male but the female line.
Hair loss in androgenetic alopecia caused by the following biochemical processes: testosterone (male hormone) is exposed reductase (enzyme 5a), resulting in the formation of dihydrotestosterone (aka DHT), which not only promotes the growth process, but also the processes of dying hair. Bulbs of hair on the frontal, occipital, parietal area of the head bear a genetic load, and have receptors that are sensitive to the action of the hormone. DHT, which is affecting the hair follicles of these zones, takes them out of the growth phase (anagen) in a long quiescent phase (telogen), resulting in follicles no longer produce healthy hair and die.
The initial stages of androgenetic alopecia may occur as early as age 18. Baldness of this type has a tendency to seasonal manifestations and often stretched over time. It should be noted that androgenetic alopecia is dependent on two factors: heredity and hormones. The presence of only one of two factors does not lead to baldness.
Another distinguishing feature of androgenetic alopecia - permanent preservation of mouth healthy hair at the temples and nape. This is because the hair follicles of these zones are not susceptible to the adverse effects of DHT. Thus, the only effective method of treating baldness androgenetic type - the redistribution of healthy, genetically resistant hair follicles on bald skin head (own hair transplant).
Studies conducted Norwood, that 25% of women aged 50 years also suffer from hair loss male type. Signs of androgenetic alopecia in women are thinning and thinning hair, baldness rarely full.
Often an indication for surgical treatment is traction alopecia, ie alopecia after plastic surgery. Treatment for this type of baldness is to reconstruct the anterior hairline and temporal scalp areas.
In 1974, Norwood was the classification of male-pattern baldness.

Surgical treatment of baldness shows excellent results in combating post-traumatic loss of hair (scarring after burns, injuries and surgeries).
Other causes of hair loss
1. Patchy alopecia;
2. diffuse alopecia;
3. total alopecia;
4. traction alopecia.
Among the rare causes of baldness can be distinguished:
1. state of the body, causing hormonal imbalance and disorders of homeostasis (thyroid disease, pregnancy, polycystic ovary, inflammatory diseases of chronic nature, surgical intervention);
2. protein deficiency (the result of dieting), iron deficiency syvorotchnogo;
3. fungal skin integument;
4. medications (chemotherapy);
5. effects of radiation in large quantities.
Of course, baldness, caused by the above factors, is treatable and is usually temporary. Baldness telogennogo (temporary) type can be successfully treated with conservative methods to stabilize and normalize hemostatic parameters.
Among the conservative methods of treatment of baldness, which are successfully applied by dermatologists, Trichology, you can select lotions, ointments, shampoos, vitamin cocktails.
There are also many folk remedies and techniques of alternative medicine for treatment of baldness. Modern cosmetology offers many ways to correct appearance when telogennom baldness that are unrelated to medicine: the wearing of caps, wigs, hair extensions.
