Thyroidism and Hair Loss -Pt 1

Can Thyroid Disease cause hair loss?

Thyroid disorders are common, so common that 12% of the population will experience some abnormal thyroid disfunction at some point in their lifetime. We have statistics that women are more likely to develop a thyroid disorder than men.  Here at Hair Growth Clinic, we experience women with a thyroid situation, and most of them do not know that a thyroid disease, whether hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) or hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) can have the possible side effect of hair loss. Thyroid hormones play an essential role in the development and maintenance of the hair follicle.  
Thyroid disease causes hormone levels to drop off or rise to unhealthy levels, and this imbalance causes hair loss due to the hair growth cycle being effected.
Your hair follicles follow a natural cycle of hair growth, and different phases. At any time, when this is thrown off, when there are too many hairs in the resting cycle and not enough hairs are replacing those, hair loss results. 

                    Miniaturization of hair follicles from hair loss

 Proper hair growth depends on the proper production of the thyroid gland, if there is too much of the thyroid hormone, your hair can become fine, with thinning all over the scalp. If there is not enough of the thyroid hormone, there can be hair loss, not just on the scalp, but also on other areas of the body.

The good news is, usually once the thyroid is stabalized, and the right treatment is prescribed to regulate the thyroid issue, the hair loss can sometimes resolve itself. This can take time, but there are some cases where this will trigger an ongoing process of continued hair loss. This is where a certified Trichologist can certainly assist is not only STOPPING hair loss, but also rejuvenation.

Where does hair start?

Where does hair begin? Most individuals are more concerned about hair LOSS, than that of how a little thin strand is actually conceived and developed ! Let's visit the womb, that study is called "Embryology".  It starts at a nice quiet nest called in-vitro,,,,,,,,,, At 4 weeks in-vitro- hair & skin begin to develop At 14 weeks in-vitro- skin develops what is called a "hair bud" At 24 weeks in-vitro- this little bud forms a "hair follicle" This is the stage where every hair on your body, for the rest of your life, is now established. Approximately every human will top out at around 1 million hair follicles over their entire body! The hair count varies according to the color of hair!! Blondes tend to usually have the highest count of approximately 140,000 hairs on the head. Brunette's are around 110,000 hairs Red heads have the least usually, and can be as low as 90,000. Amazing when you actually start to put a numb

What exactly is NORMAL hair loss?

This is a huge question for many people!!               When you are watching hair go down the drain in clumps, or fall onto your sweater or shirt, gasping at your hairbrush in fear you've lost more than what will grow back, that is no laughing matter, and the question becomes...…. What is normal hair loss? We've all seen the individual in the store that has lost most all of their hair, and our next fear is, "Am I going to be that person"! There are various sources that declare many numbers: American Academy of Dermatologists- 50 to 100 strands of hair per day. US Trichology Institute- 25-100 strands of hair per day. The HairPin- 100- 125 per day Healthline- 50 to 100 per day Web MD- 50 to 100 per day So the point here being, there's really no hard, fast number, there's a general idea, but who counts these hairs?  It's easy to assume there must be something causing this hair loss, but the truth is, every person of every age. will lose hair.

Does Hair Growth Clinic have any success??

The reason I started this journey was to be able to help individuals that suffered from alopecia (hair loss). Alopecia comes in many different forms, some easier to treat than others, but more hair loss can be treated than untreated. So take hope.....don't underestimate the power of today's technology!! We have various treatments, depending on each clients situation. Others need more aggressive plans than some other clients. At Hair Growth Clinic we offer what we reference as multi-therapy plans, and each person varies according to their degree of hair loss and what is the underlying cause. The purpose of our FREE consultations is to get to the "ROOT" of why they are losing hair, and they will receive a private, in depth consultation, including education, and  a complete medical history evaluation. Hair Growth Clinic offers up-to-date technology for superior assessment and conclusions. We offer payment plans as well. Here is a Female, age 63, Diagnosed with Alope
