THE Anti-hair loss treatments are a precious help. «They improve the anchoring of the roots of the stem because they provide the nutrients necessary to reactivate their correct functionality», he explains Silvia CecchinatoSitri certified trichologist technique. These cosmetic specialties must be used correctly. Here are the expert’s suggestions.
What are anti-hair loss vials and lotions?
The hair roots have a life cycle that can last from 3 to 5-7 years, alternating the phases of anagen growth, catagen regression and telogen release. «It is a mechanism that works well when there is the right supply of vital substances», explains Silvia Cecchinato.
In case of deficiencies of some essential nutrients, an abnormal loss may occur. «When excessive hair loss is noticed, the use of specific vials and serums containing agents that stimulate microcirculation is useful: the greater blood supply ensures that the hair bulb receives a greater quantity of nutrients».
«Among the active ingredients that contribute to improving the anchoring of the roots of the shaft to the scalp, caffeine stands out, which stimulates circulation and inhibits the DHT enzyme, linked to hair loss, peptides and growth factors, which nourish and reactivate the hair follicles, niacinamide or vitamin B3 and group B vitamins which promote metabolism», explains the trichologist.
It should be remembered that anti-hair loss vials and fluids are not miracle remedies. «Their effectiveness depends on the cause of the hair loss, which can be hormonal, seasonal, stress, nutritional deficiencies». In case of intense or persistent hair loss, it is always a good idea to consult a dermatologist or trichologist to identify the cause and evaluate a personalized plan which may include supplements, drugs, or instrumental therapies such as PRP.
Hair: how to use anti-hair loss vials and lotions
Anti-hair loss vials and fluids help in case of excessive hair loss by taking care to respect a few simple rules. «The accumulated sebum hinders the penetration of the product: this is why these treatments should always be applied to clean skin, to facilitate the absorption of the active ingredients. For cleansing, it helps to use a delicate shampoo or a specific anti-hair loss product”, underlines Silvia Cecchinato.
Also pay attention to where the product is placed. «I always recommend dividing the hair into locks, and distributing the vial directly onto the visible skin and not along the lengths. The formulas have no action on the stem, and the product would be wasted.”
Finally, the expert suggests focusing the treatment on delimited areas. «It is always good to concentrate the application of the product above all on the thinning areas or where the hair loss is more evident such as, for example, the temples, the forehead and the upper part of the head».
«After distributing vials and anti-hair loss serums, it is essential to delicately massage the affected areas with your fingertips using circular movements. This gesture promotes the penetration of the product, improves microcirculation and relaxes and oxygenates the scalp.”
The most common errors
Concentrated treatments that combat excessive hair loss work as long as they are used within the suggested times. «Generally the recommended cycles are at least a couple of months, with the applications of vials and fluids repeated at least three times a week. Expecting cosmetic support to give immediate results is unthinkable. So, when you start using this type of support, you have to be consistent.”
The maintenance phase should not be neglected. «At the end of the cycle, it is always a good idea to continue the treatment for another month, applying an ampoule or anti-hair loss fluid at least once a week».
