Provillus Hair Loss Treatment for Men and Women

What to do about thinning hair

Nowadays thinning hair affects more and more people. In USA, 4 women out of 10 suffer from hair loss, which means over 43 millions women have such problems. But thinning hair is a type of hair loss which affects both men and women over 30 years old. It is characterized by moderate loss of hair at the crown or at hairline. Female hair loss is an overall thinning rather than a bald area on the top of the head as in the case of men.

The causes of thinning hair in the case of both men and women can vary from heredity to stress and even aging. Thinning hair is a natural part of aging and is common even among the healthiest women. Once you pass age 20, you shed more than the normal 40 to 100 hairs a day. Normally, hair grows about a half-inch per month, but because of a combination of factors, including heredity and hormones, hair follicles become smaller and smaller thus preventing the hair from following its regular growth process.

The biggest cause of hair thinning is a persistent condition called androgenetic alopecia, also referred to as “hereditary hair thinning”. With androgenetic alopecia, some hair follicles gradually become smaller and have a shorter growing period, process also known under the name of miniaturization. According to several studies, androgenetic alopecia hits both on men and women of every ethnicity, every race. Unfortunately, androgenetic alopecia is irreversible, but there are treatments based on minoxidil, like Provillus, that stimulate the new hair growth.

Thinning hair could be also attributed to health problems such as Hyperthyroid or Hypothyroid, anemia or cancer. Other factors like your diet, certain medications, stress childbirth and perimenopause play a very important role in the life of your hair, as it can also cause its thinning. Fortunately, this type of hair loss is reversible once the cause has been treated.

Thinning hair is a serious problem, but it’s not as alarming as balding. First of all you should consult your dermatologist to tell you the cause of your hair getting thinner. Then, you have to follow his/her advice to the letter and you will see that your hair will become thicker and more vigorous. However, if you lose hair on a hereditary basis then you could use topical applications and in the same time you could also wear a wig or hairpieces as a temporary solution to the problem.
