Effluvium is a type of generalized fall and could say quite radical.
In short when we say that there has been a drop by say effluvium is a very general fall (losing about 80% of hair), in a short period of time and without following any regular pattern (eg there is no typical pattern Input-top that exists in AGA).

Although it may seem a very traumatic alopecia type by its characteristics has the advantage that the hair falling is recovered in more than 90% in most cases spontaneously (or rather when they cease the causes that led).

We can say that the hair is one of the following phases of growth: anagen, catagen and telogen. Generally only about 10-15% of hair found in catagen or telogen phase.

In the anagen phase is where there is hair growth. Anagen effluvium is that because a particular cause the formation of hair on the disc is affected, as the case may cause the hair to grow finer or if the trauma is greater than the hair to fall as it has been interrupted training.

Features

As an emanation drop is fairly radical and very severe and can lead to total baldness in a very short period of time. But still there are certain characteristics that this type of outpouring diferncias with telogen effluvium.

It is totally reversible, recovering hair about 2 months after it ceases cause that produced it.
It usually occurs between 7 and 14 days after the cause that has caused
The lack of hair is apparent between 1 and 2 months after the beginning of the fall.
Pulls 40 or 50 hairs painless (the hair falls out easily)
The hairs are heavily pigmented and have a long root.
The anagen-telogen ratio remains at 15%, which rules out the majority of other types of alopecia.
Is a type of non-scarring alopecia.
The study under a microscope can see that the follicle maintains its characteristics. This is crucial to distinguish it from other types of alopecia (AGA. ..)

Causes

As we have seen before the odor is one of its main features that the hair recovers about two-three months after the cessation of the causes that had caused this kind of outpouring. So it is very important to determine which are these:

Malnutrition
Iron deficiency
Endocrine disorders
Infections
Chemotherapy
Exposure to chromium, boron, thallium,
Drugs such as cyclosporine, levodopa …

It is also worth noting that after an intervention capillary grafted hair falls out in the majority, then grow from 3 months. This is completely normal, it is also a clear case of anagen effluvium. They also say that in this case is not transplanted hair that falls off the aggression which is a hair transplant (which grows back in about 4 months approx.).

Treatment

Currently the best treatment exists for the odor (either anagen or telogen) to determine the causes that started this type of alopecia, and make stops. Once achieved, the hair will grow as before and recover the previous appearance.

Logically this should be taken with caution as it is very possible that not recover 100% of the loss. This is because in many cases the patient in question suffers from AGA and suffers from a certain stage effluvium. In this case to have some weak areas because of the AGA, is more than possible that these hairs do not grow back. That is why it is estimated that recricimiento is not 100% but it is over an approximately 80%.

Although this is the only thing that is really useful, many doctors prescribe this drug minoxidil and has an effect on hair cycles. Not thought to “cure” the odor (that can only be achieved by ceasing the causes that originated), but if it is able to accelerate the process of growth, decreasing 3 or 4 months shorter empires.

Effluvium is a type of generalized fall and we could tell pretty nutshell Rooting when we say that there has been a drop by say effluvium hair loss is a fairly general (losing about 80% of hair), in a short period time and without following any regular pattern (for example there is the typical entry-top pattern that exists in AGA).

Although it may seem a very traumatic alopecia type by its characteristics has the advantage that the hair falling is recovered in more than 90% in most cases spontaneously (or rather when they cease the causes that led).

We can say that the hair is one of the following phases of growth: anagen, catagen and telogen. Generally only about 10-15% of hair found in catagen or telogen phase).

In the anagen phase is where there is hair growth. Telogen effluvium is that because a particular cause hair most go to the telogen phase, so that the period of about two months the hair starts to fall.

Features

As an emanation drop is fairly radical and very severe and can lead to total baldness in a very short period of time. But still there are certain characteristics that this type of outpouring diferncias with telogen effluvium.

It is totally reversible, recovering hair about 6 months after it ceases cause that produced it.
It usually occurs between 2 and 3 months after the cause that has caused
The lack of hair is apparent between 2 and 4 months after that originates telogen step.
The hairs are not heavily pigmented.
It is a type of non-scarring alopecia.
Can lead to a chronic process.

Telogen effluvium is diagnosed when more than 25-30% of hairs are in telogen.

Causes

As we have seen before the odor is one of its main features that the hair recovers about two-three months after the cessation of the causes that had caused this kind of outpouring. So it is very important to determine which are these:
Hormonal
Drug
Heavy metals: Arsenic, lead
Changes in diet
Chemotherapy
Infections

It is also worth noting that after an intervention hair after about two-three months is quite common a significant drop. This fall commonly called shock-loss is but telogen effluvium caused by the aggression is a intervencion.Este hair grows back in its majority after about 4-5 months.

Treatment

Currently the best treatment exists for the odor (either anagen or telogen) to determine the causes that started this type of alopecia, and make stops. Once achieved, the hair will grow as before and recover the previous appearance.

There are several treatments available, choosing one or the other depends on several factors, including age and extent of hair loss. Alopecia areata can occur in two forms, a form in which it falls below 50% of the hair of the head and one that falls more than 50% of the hair.

These two forms of alopecia areata behave quite differently and the choice of treatment depends on whether it occurs in one form or another. Current treatments for alopecia areata not definitively eliminate its effect is to make the hair grow back and in general treatment is needed for quite some time until the disease is no longer active.

WHAT treatment are recommended for alopecia areata MODERATE OR PATCH?

Topical or locally injected corticosteroids: In forms of moderate patchy alopecia most suitable treatment is the injection of cortisone. This treatment involves the injection in the plaque of alopecia by using a thin needle or a pressure injection system without a needle. These injections must be repeated every four to six weeks. Produce a slight discomfort that disappears quickly. Generally produce hair growth in about 4 weeks.

This treatment does not appear that prevents new stains. There are very few side effects to these injections sometimes produced a slight depressions at the site of injections that are resolved spontaneously.

Anthralin: Another treatment for alopecia areata patches of moderate intensity is the application of anthralin creams. Anthralin is a derivative of tar has been used extensively in the treatment of psoriasis. Anthralin is applied generally in the areas of alopecia for half an hour or an hour. It is often observed new hair growth at 12 weeks of application of the cream. Anthralin may cause moderate skin irritation and a slight pigmentation. Must be used with care not to apply it in their eyes as it can be irritating and should wash hands thoroughly after applying.

Topical Minoxidil: Minoxidil is a medication used to treat people with high blood pressure. A side effect of this medication was the tendency to cause increased hair growth in various parts of the body. Studies have shown that topical application of minoxidil may also produce some answers in alopecia areata. Usually requires the application of this product twice a day and association with retinoic acid appears to increase the responses. Unfortunately the application of minoxidil is not usually useful in patients with extensive alopecia.

Treatment of alopecia areata EXTENSIVE, alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis

Corticosteroids: Medications containing cortisone are sometimes used to treat long hair falling, especially if it is a very quick introduction. Cortisone taken by mouth is much stronger than that applied by intralesional injection. It is necessary to evaluate the side effects of this medication when using this drug. Young people in general is very well tolerated medication. In general, this medication is used in very few patients and the need to manage for a while and the hair tends to fall again when the medication is stopped.

Allergic contact dermatitis: Another approach to the treatment of extensive alopecia areata or alopecia totalis-universal is the production of allergic contact dermatitis. Currently the most widely used chemical is diphencyprone has also been used dinitroclorobenzena (DNCB) and escuarico acid ester, these chemicals are applied to the scalp and cause an allergic reaction. Over 50% of patients treated with these substances respond to treatment with hair growth. Patients who respond require the use of a continuous treatment until the disease disappears. These substances can cause acute injuries very itchy eczema, which is especially annoying in the summer and when wearing a wig. Patients using these treatments must be careful not to apply the liquid in other parts of the body.

PUVA: Some patients with extensive alopecia areata can be treated with PUVA, this treatment is a combination of a photosensitive drug (psoralen) and ultraviolet light of long wavelength (UVA). in a small group of patients can achieve hair growth by this treatment. This treatment needs to be applied from 2 to 5 times per week for several months, which is very uncomfortable for the patient because it requires many trips and visits to the clinic of dermatologist

WIGS: In patients with extensive alopecia treatment is not easy, so that the use of a wig is highly recommended. There are several ways to wear a wig so that no note and no discards.

Alopecia areata is a common disease that causes loss of hair on the head and other body areas. Usually starts as small round plates that can be solitary or multiple affecting the scalp. Can appear in all ages but is most common in young adults.

Under normal conditions, consistently produces scalp hair. In patients with alopecia areata affected hair suffer a very marked decrease in hair production. The hair of the affected areas become very small and the scalp surface can not be seen for some time The scalp follicles remain under the skin in a dormant state and can get to make new hair when they receive adequate signal.

Some people develop only few plaques were alopecia and hair grows back in a period of one year, even without treatment. The scalp is the area that is affected most frequently, but in men is frequently involved with the beard and any surface of the skin that has hair, this can occur with or without involvement of the scalp.

In some patients, alopecia areata extending to involve the entire scalp, then called alopecia totalis, some patients even lose hair around the body, then called alopecia universalis. Regardless of the form of alopecia, in all cases the hair follicles remain alive below the skin and the possibility of producing hair again there.

WHAT CAUSES THE DISEASE MAKES appear or disappear?

No one knows for sure, more and more data that there is an immunological signal in the development of this disease. Current studies suggest that alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease in which the same body makes antibodies against part of the hair follicle, is a form of autoalergia. In patients with alopecia areata may show antibodies to other parts of the body even without existing disease in them.

Is Alopecia Areata HEREDITARY?

The estate may have something to do on occasion. In one of every 5 patients with alopecia areata (20%) there is someone else in the family with the same disease. Alopecia areata is more common in families where there is a member with asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis or eczema or other autoimmune diseases such as thyroid disease, vitiligo, juvenile diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus, pernicious anemia or disease Adison.

WHAT ELSE CAN AFFECT THE BODY?

In some patients develop a pitting nails similar to what would be sticking a needle many times, in some nail involvement may be very important. But except for the hair and nails can not affect other body parts

How will alopecia areata AFFECT MY DAILY LIFE?

In relation to health impairment, alopecia areata does not affect anything. Patients with alopecia areata are in perfect health. In the emotional involvement may be especially important in patients with extensive involvement. One of the objectives of the National Alopecia Areata Foundation is to help patients with alopecia areata and their families to have a fully satisfactory life. There are thousands of patients with extensive alopecia areata that make a completely normal life. The emotional disorders that causes alopecia areata can be overcome with knowledge of reality and help from others. Sometimes it is necessary the help of a psychologist or social worker to develop self confidence.

Will my HAIR GROW AGAIN?

Yes, the hair can always grow back because the follicles are present under the skin

Alopecia Areata IS DUE TO THE NERVES?

No, alopecia areata is not due to any disease of the nerves, however, certain situations of conflict or stress may favor the development of plaques of alopecia areata. From another point of view, alopecia areata itself causes stress situations for the patient and family

DO I NEED TO CHANGE PLANS OF LIFE IN RELATION TO THE STUDY, WORK, SPORTS, FRIENDS, ETC.?

Not at all, patients with alopecia areata should make a completely normal life

Alopecia (chronic telogen effluvium): The term “telogen effluvium” was coined by Kligman in 1961. Is the acute loss of hair after chronic systemic diseases, emotional stress, febrile illness or childbirth. In the latter, telogen effluvium can last up to 6 months after full recovery.

Alopecia drugs: Vitamin A in large doses, cytostatic, thyroid, anticoagulated, mercury and valproic acid can produce alopecia. When the drug is stopped hair loss disappears.

Alopecia in systemic diseases: of endocrine, infectious, Lupus erythematosus or nutritional deficiency.

Alopecia hereditary syndromes:

The case of congenital atriquia the individio hairless. Also found in temporal triangular alopecia in the syndrome of hair loss in anagen, the hair hypoplasia and cartilage in Menkes syndrome in anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia and tricorrinofalángico syndrome.

Cicatricial alopecia:

Unfortunately this type of alopecia because there is usually irreversible damage, malformation or complete rupture of the follicular structure. There is no treatment or drug that helps with hair follicles in an inert. If there are no damaged areas can be used to implant hair.
Scarring alopecia are classified as follows:

Alopecia infectious fungal (Kerion, candidiasis, favus), bacterial (syphilis, leprosy, acne necrotic) viral (herpes, varicella); protozoa (Leishmaniasis).

Alopecia physicochemical agents, caustic agents, mechanical trauma, burns and X-ray rediodermitis Consider that the follicles are sensitive to radiation.

Alopecia tumor: dermal tumors and metastases. Mast cells, basal cell or squamous cell carcinomas, lymphomas and adnexal tumors.

Alopecia and dermatosis: Graham-Little syndrome, dermatomyositis, sarcoidosis, follicular mucinosis.

Alopecia hereditary diseases: porokeratosis of Mibelli, epidermal nevus, Darier’s disease, ichthyosis and aplasia cutis.

The fox lost his hair but not the tricks. In fact, it loses twice a year.

The word “alopecia” descends from the Greek word “Alopex” which means “fox.” The Royal Spanish Academy defines alopecia as “fall or pathological loss of hair.” Maybe it’s a short definition but it is more than right.

Alopecia is the fall prematurely or absence of hair in one or more parts of the body. Its causes are many and the types of alopecia are classified as follows:

Non-scarring alopecia:

They are very common and may improve or be cured through treatment and some even revert spontaneously without being treated. In this type of alopecia hair follicle has a pathological behavior but still alive unless alopecia extending over very long periods (common or androgenetic alopecia).

Can be classified as follows:

Androgenic alopecia, is also known as androgenetic alopecia or common baldness premature. It affects many men and women rarely.

If you suffer from androgenetic alopecia, as most men, I recommend having a look to the left and check on the Norwood Scale what type/grade of alopecia you have.

Will be very useful to know if any treatment can give results. If your level is very advanced (5, 6 or 7) will have to consider surgery or simply accept that you are bald. There are no treatments that have proven effective in less advanced degrees.

Androgens are the hormones responsible for hair loss and that is why many of the current treatments inhibit the production of them.

If baldness continues to advance and hair follicles die, the process becomes irreversible and no treatment to restore the situation. Can only be repaired by transplanting living follicles from other areas to the crown and tickets, a Hair transplant. Ideally, of course, is to fight the fall while the follicles are alive.

Women are more fortunate than the man as androgenetic alopecia appears only in the front of the scalp, leaving hair more sparse but on rare occasions it can be completely depopulated areas and in man.

Alopecia areata:

The cause is unknown but the symptoms are clear: head round patches of hair completely deserted. Alopecia totalis (AT) is when you completely lose scalp hair. In cases of Alopecia universalis (AU) is losing hair around the body.

There are still no fully effective treatments for this type of alopecia. Therapies that are used with medium results are: ultraviolet light, topical corticosteroids, steroid injections or to excite irritants follicle stimulating hair growth.

Can occur at any age and affects both sexes equally. Is estimated to affect one in every thousand people and is often refractory to medical therapy.

The cause of alopecia areata specific, although about a fifth of all cases, is a family history of alopecia. This disease is occasionally associated with autoimmune diseases.

The primary symptom of alopecia areata is roundish patches of hair loss on the head, with smooth and scalp hair in affected areas.

Short hairs can be seen in the plate-shaped exclamation point. ”

Alopecia totalis involves the complete loss of all scalp and alopecia universalis is characterized by total loss of hair on the body.

Call your health care provider if you are concerned about hair loss.

If you start to notice that you hair falls out, it is important to go to a dermatologist to determine whether or not alopecia or other disorder that produces the alopecia.

There are no fully effective treatments, but Typical therapy may include:

• Topical corticosteroids of medium to very high power
• Subcutaneous (under the skin surface) steroid
• Ultraviolet light therapy

Irritants can be applied to hairless areas to promote regrowth. Sometimes a biopsy may be performed on the scalp.

It is common to Full recovery of hair, however, alopecia areata occurring at a young age, prolonged alopecia, or the presence of
eczema (atopic dermatitis) often predicts a poorer outcome.

The loss of hair permanently is a possible complication of alopecia areata.

But be careful and not panic so soon. Women usually meaningless despair “-as we notice a bit of hair in the tub. The female androgenetic alopecia has clear characteristics and the simple fact that there is greater decline does not mean that we suffer a pathological alopecia.

Before taking matters into and buy products that hardly help, you must know your type of hair loss making it a diagnosis. Who better than a dermatologist to do so?

The lack of information makes that 97% of women who suffer from alopecia try to stop themselves. Just when they have gone through several treatments without success, give up and go to a professional.

There are hundreds of products on the market that claim to stop hair fall or regenerate. Some help to improve the overall quality or give a more alive to the hair, but that does not mean that address the root of the problem.

The first symptoms appear androgenic alopecia hair loss at the crown area or at the entrances of the skull. These zones begin to depopulate in the case of men, while women suffer from hair loss concentrated in the front that although depopulation fails to leave hair more sparse.

This new discovery about the genetic variants, help predict who might be suffering from alopecia and thus be able to solve or stop to hair loss. Thus, the gene therapy are positioned as the solution for the future in order to correct the faulty genes and prevent hair loss.

From a time now have published several studies on new discoveries to solve hair loss, as the study that reported on the possibility of follicular regeneration in wounds of mice. This time, scientists at the University of Bonn (Germany) and King’s College London (United Kingdom) have identified new genetic factors linked to hair loss.

This study showed that two genetic variants could be multiplied sevenfold risk of baldness. This discovery is a breakthrough for hair care specialists so as to provide a solution to hair loss.

As published in the journal Nature Genetics, these new genetic variations are present in 14% of the population, and could multiply by seven the risk of androgenic alopecia, the well-known hair loss.

While this opens a promising news regarding the alopecia, the solution to baldness is imminent so the researcher Brent Richards said: “We have identified the cause. Finding an effective treatment need more research, but certainly we have the first step towards this goal. ”

Baldness is a problem that many people suffer. Some time ago suffering from alopecia was justified in a matter of age or a purely genetic. But today many people, regardless of sex and age, suffer from hair loss. Several factors influence this hair problem as food, stress, environmental pollution, abuse of certain hair beauty techniques, among others. Many specialists in hair care products offer solutions both for prevention and treatment possible solution to baldness. Currently micrografting hair transplant or is the most demanded and, in turn, provides the best results.

The Apeplus drug therapy is indicated for androgenetic alopecia which helps restore lost hair and prevent it from further decline.

Apeplus The active ingredient is finasteride, which has been very successful in recent years, even more than other drugs that use other different active ingredients.

This compound is intended exclusively for male hair loss, which originated from the transformation of the hormone testosterone into dihydrotestosterone produced a top. The result is that the follicles are reduced in size due to this transformation, to make rigid and lose their hair. Finasteride helps to restore the balance again by inhibiting the production of the enzyme that causes the problem.

The Apeplus is available in packages of tablets or pills in concentrations of a milligram, and their dosage is one pill a day. Do not know him too many side effects or contraindications. In just two percent are likely to have a sexual disorder as decreased libido, impotence, ejaculation disorder or that goes away once treatment is stopped.

The results can begin to appreciate the eight months or so, but it must be satisfied. Keep in mind that Apeplus treatment for alopecia is simpler than others whose principle is minoxidil. With the latter must be massaged to be applied twice a day whereas Apeplus is simply taking a pill a day. So do not forget, although it is highly recommended not to recover the making if this occurs.
