Health education tips:
a / What is androgenetic alopecia?
Normally the hair has a lifespan of 3 to 6 years and 50 to 100 hairs per day fall out.
More significant hair loss can occur seasonally (in the fall) or after childbirth: this loss is normal, transient and there is no need to start treatment.
Alopecia is defined by hair loss greater than 100 hairs per day. There are two types of alopecia:
· acute alopecia,
· chronic alopecia.
· Acute alopecia (sudden hair loss over a short period) can be diffuse or in patches (alopecia areata) and are most often of known cause (aggressive hair care, poor general condition, poorly balanced weight loss, certain medications, psychic shock , stress ...). These acute alopecia should not be treated with this medicine.
· Chronic (long-term) alopecia are almost always diffuse. They are sometimes due to a specific disease (thyroid, metabolic ...) and they should not be treated with this medication.
In the great majority, these chronic alopecias are of poorly understood origin, most often of a hereditary nature: it is androgenetic alopecia. Only this type of alopecia can be treated with minoxidil.
b / How to recognize androgenetic alopecia?
In women | |||
|
|
| |
Stage 1 | Stage 2 | Stage 3 |
Androgenetic alopecia is diffuse: there is an overall decrease in hair density. The hair gradually lightens from the parting.
In humans | |||
|
|
| |
Stage 1 | Stage 2 | Stage 3 |
Androgenetic alopecia begins with a baldness of the temporal gulfs.
Then a slight tonsure appears at the top of the head.
These two areas devoid of hair will gradually enlarge: androgenetic alopecia gradually evolves into baldness.
c / Some advice for use
· Use a mild shampoo (preferably without silicone).
If you shampoo after applying minoxidil, respect a period of 4 hours after this one.
· If you are applying minoxidil after shampooing, it is recommended to do so on a dry scalp.
· You can use a hair dryer after applying minoxidil, preferably in a warm position.
· You can use styling mousse, gels or sprays with a minimum delay of 1 hour between applications.
· There is no interaction between your treatment with minoxidil and your perms or coloring treatments, but it is preferable to limit them because of their aggressiveness on the hair.
· If you plan to be in the sun after applying minoxidil, it is recommended that you cover your hair.
d / Some additional information
· At the start of treatment, over a short period of time, an increase in hair loss may occur. This hair was meant to fall out and does it faster. This is normal, please continue treatment.
· The first hair that grows will be soft, fluffy and not very visible. As you continue with your treatment, they may change and thicken.
