Hair loss due to improper eating?

Nowadays, hair loss is a problem affecting more and more people, which can be caused by many reasons. Genetic conditions (already sensitive hair follicles), hormonal imbalance in women, changes in the body caused by high testosterone levels in men, and various diseases (thyroid diseases, hyperthyroidism) can also cause hair loss.

WHAT ARE THE VITAMINS AND MINERALS ESSENTIAL FOR HEALTHY HAIR?

In case of following a given diet, special attention should be paid to minerals and trace elements, since the diet followed often does not sufficiently cover the required vitamin and mineral needs. For example, for those following vegan or vegetarian diets, it is of paramount importance to take care of iron intake, since their dietary iron intake is almost twice as much as that of meat eaters.

Zinc deficiency can be both hereditary and acquired. Symptoms may include diarrhoea, delayed wound healing, inadequate sense of taste and smell. It can also cause skin symptoms, split ends, dry hair and hair loss.

However, eating zinc-rich foods can help restore balance. These foods include oysters, crustaceans, beef, as well as lamb.

Selenium-containing enzymes are essential for our cells and muscles. Its deficiency can cause decreased thyroid hormone production, miscarriage, low sperm count, or hair loss. Selenium-rich food sources are fish, beef, chicken, turkey and eggs.

Folic acid deficiency is not only a consequence of insufficient food intake, but can also be caused by overcooking food (prolonged heat causes the vitamin to break down). In order for our body to contain folic acid again in sufficient quantities, it is recommended to consume peas, lentils, beans and spinach, as well as peanuts, eggs, avocados and asparagus.

In terms of vitamins, nutrients rich in vitamin A are the liver oil of fish, cod and tuna, cheese, milk, as well as eggs. Food containing vitamin B is fish, liver, various legumes, whole grains, hazelnuts, wheat germ, egg yolks, as well as vegetables. For adequate vitamin D intake, our bodies mostly need sunlight. Vitamin E is found in vegetable oils, peanuts, pistachios, wheat germ, whole grain products and egg yolks.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF THE RATE OF HAIR LOSS DOES NOT DECREASE EVEN WITH PROPER NUTRITION?

In order to find out the causes of baldness, more precisely, to determine the nutrient – or vitamin deficiency behind hair loss – the laboratory and the results of the physical examination are necessary.

If, despite lifestyle and nutrition changes, the rate of hair loss does not decrease and the lack of hair already causes aesthetic problems, hair transplantation may be the permanent solution against baldness.

The HIMG Hair Transplant Clinic performs the interventions using state-of-the-art procedures with hair transplant specialists with several years of experience and ensuring a high level of hygienic conditions.

HOW DOES HAIR TRANSPLANTATION WORK?

Before starting the hair transplantation, personalized hair transplantation is planned in our clinic after a thorough mapping of the hair stock and the assessment of the suitability of the donor area.

Depending on the amount of hair to be implanted, the procedure can be performed within the framework of a one-day surgery, but it does not take more than two sessions in total.

On the day of implantation, in the morning hours, a haircut (approx. 1-2 mm) and the donor area are drawn first. After the administration of the anesthetic, the procedure begins, during which the patient can choose a film according to his needs so that he can relax sufficiently during the hair transplantation. The extraction of the hair to be transplanted and the implantation itself is an extremely meticulous and precise task. During the procedure, a shorter break is taken every two hours. Of course, the lunch break is slightly longer, during which lunch is provided by the HIMG clinic so that the patient does not have to worry about this.

WHAT HAIR TRANSPLANT PROCEDURE IS USED?

In the clinic, the patient has the opportunity to choose the most ideal for him, taking into account both the amount and the procedure. The HIMG clinic is the only hair transplant center in Hungary where the patient can choose from three types of hair transplant procedures, all of which use state-of-the-art techniques. However, there are differences between the procedures regarding the hair removal device.

During the so-called FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) procedure, a 1.0-1.2 mm thin needle is used to cut around the hairline groups, after which the hair transplant doctor implants the hair shafts into the deficient or bald area by making the same hole in the scalp.

Its advantage is that there are no cuts or wounds, and it is cheaper than the FUE safe system and the SHE procedure, however, it is not considered the most effective method among the more modern procedures. This may not be the best choice for groups of hairs located particularly closely in the donor area (from where the hair is extracted), since in the case of hairs located closer to each other than 1 mm apart, some hairs may be damaged during hair extraction. Thus, during extraction, valuable, healthy hairs can be lost.

The FUE safe method, also known as FUE 2 method, differs from the FUE procedure in that the hair groups are extracted from the donor area with smaller precision instruments, leaving an even smaller, almost imperceptible mark on the tiny dots formed at the hair transplantation site.

However, in the award-winning SHE (Single Hair Extraction) procedure developed by the HIMG clinic, an amazingly tiny needle measuring 0,5-0,8 mm is used to extract hair. As a result, tiny openings on the scalp disappear without a trace within 7-10 days, similar to traces of small needle punctures. There are no cuts and stitches, so no wounds are formed on the scalp, which regenerates at a particularly fast pace. The procedure involves only minimal discomfort on the scalp.

WHEN WILL THE RESULTS BE VISIBLE AT THE EARLIEST?

After hair transplantation, the result is spectacular already in the sixth month, and the final state develops after 10-12 months. Thus, when travel restrictions are completely lifted, the patient can already enjoy his vacation carefree. The implanted hairs are guaranteed to remain viable and last for the rest of the patient's life.

Hair transplant result - 3000+ implanted hairs

Despite the economic challenges caused by the virus situation at the HIMG clinic, hair transplant prices remain favorable, and it can be reassuring for their patients that due to working from home, colleagues will not perceive that they have undergone a hair transplant and the regeneration process can begin in calm conditions.
