Frequently asked questions about hair loss

Alopecia or hair loss is a condition that increasingly affects both men and women worldwide. There is a specific treatment for each case, and the first step is an accurate diagnosis to determine the type of alopecia you are experiencing. That is why we have created this test, to help you identify your type of hair loss and the possible treatment options.

Hairline recession and early signs of hair loss in men may begin as early as their 20s; however, by the age of 40 this condition often becomes more noticeable. Hair mesotherapy not only increases hair thickness and stimulates growth, but also helps stop active hair loss. It is an effective treatment for patients experiencing the early stages of alopecia.

1. Nourishes and oxygenates hair follicles.
2. Stimulates the scalp and slows down hair loss.
3. Rapidly stops active hair shedding.
4. Adds thickness to fine and weakened hair.

Hair transplantation is a complementary and definitive treatment to combat alopecia.

At the Giovanni Bojanini Dermatology Center, we use the FUE technique, a minimally invasive procedure that consists of extracting hair follicles one by one, classifying them, and preparing them for implantation. This technique allows us to replicate the patient’s natural hair growth pattern, ensuring natural and harmonious results. We are pioneers and internationally recognized experts in this procedure.

Hair micrografting is a surgical procedure that permanently solves hair loss. The success of the procedure largely depends on proper post-treatment care, making it essential to follow all medical recommendations. It does not require sutures, leaves imperceptible micro-scars, preserves all follicular units, and allows patients to return to their daily activities the following day.

The first step in determining the appropriate hair loss treatment is identifying the type of alopecia and the stage of progression. In men, the Hamilton scale is commonly used to classify the degree of hair loss and guide treatment decisions.

It is normal to lose between 50 and 150 hairs per day, which is considered part of the natural hair cycle. The hair life cycle consists of four phases:

1. Anagen: the growth phase, during which hair length is determined.
2. Catagen: the phase when hair stops growing.
3. Telogen: the phase in which hair falls out due to the suspension of follicle activity.
4. Exogen: the phase in which new hair begins to grow.

Throughout life, each hair strand is at a different stage of this cycle.

The combination of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and hair mesotherapy increases hair density, stimulates growth, and strengthens hair follicles, resulting in stronger and healthier hair.

Hair plasma therapy is indicated to reduce and stop active hair loss. It strengthens hair follicles, stimulates hair growth, and regenerates the scalp, promoting healthier and stronger hair.
