ALOPECIA TOTALIS
This is a more advanced stage of Alopecia Areata and involves the loss of hair on the entire area of the scalp.
Hair loss is observed in more areas than just your scalp, eg eyebrows & some parts of the body, there is a high chance of alopecia universalis.
Alopecia universalis is thought to be an immune system disorder where healthy hair follicles are attacked by the body’s immune system, which makes them fall out and inhibit future hair growth
In these cases, we will assess the customer’s situation carefully to ensure they understand the situation and the limitations of the effectiveness of hair loss treatments if no living pores can be found through scalp analysis. The effectiveness of the treatment will be dependent on the availability of living pores on the scalp which can be reactivated.
ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA
The most common form of hair loss occurring in men and women in adulthood also known as male pattern hair loss or female pattern hair loss.
This type of hair loss is inherited genetically influenced by a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is produced by the body when testosterone is converted into DHT. DHT is responsible for the development of male characteristics, such as facial hair and a deep voice. However, it can also cause hair loss in men.
When DHT binds to the hair follicles, it causes them to shrink. This leads to thinning hair and deterioration of hair follicles. DHT is also responsible for other forms of hair loss, such as female pattern hair loss.
BioRevive HairGro treatments can help control the intensity and deterioration of this type of hair loss. Our herbal hair loss treatment and hair growth products in Singapore can help slow down the effects of androgenic alopecia by strengthening and repairing the scalp and hair follicles from the roots.
Advisable for treatment during the early stages instead of the late stages of androgenic alopecia where more hair follicles has diminished.
