Balding

Hair today, gone tomorrow?


Balding, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is a common form of hair loss in both men and women, often characterized by a receding hairline, thinning hair on the scalp, and bald spots. It's usually genetic but can also be influenced by hormonal changes, medical conditions, or medications. While balding is a natural part of aging for many, it can affect self-esteem and emotional well-being. Treatment options include topical treatments, oral medications, laser therapy, and surgical options like hair transplants. 


Mahalo provides a discreet and convenient way to consult with healthcare providers about balding. Through virtual appointments, you can discuss your concerns, explore the cause of your hair loss, and receive personalized treatment recommendations to address balding, all from the privacy of your home.

Precautions


  • Gently massage your scalp regularly to increase blood flow to the hair follicles, which can promote hair growth. Use essential oils like rosemary or peppermint mixed with a carrier oil for the massage, as they are believed to stimulate hair growth.
  • Reduce stress through meditation, yoga, or other stress-reduction techniques. High stress levels can contribute to hair loss, so managing your stress can be beneficial for your hair health.
  • Ensure a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals that support hair growth. Foods high in vitamins A, C, D, E, zinc, iron, omega-3 fatty acids, and protein can contribute to stronger and healthier hair.
 

Common Medications


  • Finasteride (Propecia)
  • Minoxidil (Rogaine)
  • Dutasteride (Avodart)
