Infected Hair Follicles

At some point or another in our lives, there’s a very high likelihood of developing an issue with infected hair follicles. It’s not something to be embarrassed about – it’s just a fact of life. Too often though, infected hair follicle issues are swept under the rug or dismissed as unimportant. This is dangerous, and can lead to wide-ranging, long-term, and sometimes irreversible hair care issues in the future.

What is a Hair Follicle?

The term ‘hair follicle’ refers to an organ composed of a group of various different cell types, which combine to form what we think of as a hair (both the parts we can see and those beneath the surface). It’s responsible for hair and hair growth. It’s composed of four distinct parts:

The papilla, the base of the hair follicle
The hair matrix, which surrounds the papilla
The root sheath, both internal and external
The bulge

Types of Hair Follicle Infections

In addition to well-known diseases of the hair follicle such as alopecia, the hair follicle can also become infected in a variety of ways.

An infected hair follicle is known as folliculitis. Folliculitis is most commonly a bacterial or fungal infection, that may present itself in the form of white-and-red bumps which look like pimples. Other symptoms include having a persisting itch or rash, as well as painful skin.

The most common types of folliculitis are:

Bacterial folliculitis: one of the most common, occurs from infection by the staphylococcus aureus bacteria
Razor bumps: when shaving too close, men and women can develop ingrown hairs, which in turn can lead to the development of razor bumps
Pityrosproum folliculitis: the onset of itchy red pustules resulting from a yeast infection

Understandably, these infections make people feel uncomfortable – physically and emotionally. It’s important not to be embarrassed by these infections. We need to understand that infected hair follicles can affect even the most hygienic people.

Risk Factors and Consequences

Having said that, there are still several important risk factors that are worth keeping in mind, in order to increase chances of prevention.

These include:

Shaving too close to the skin
Having thick, curly hair
Having a medical condition such as HIV or diabetes, which increase susceptibility to infection
Taking baths in unclean bathtubs

The consequences of folliculitis have the potential to be disastrous. They can lead to recurring infections, irreparable skin damage – and even the destruction of hair follicles and hair loss.

How Advanced Hair Studio Can Help

Luckily, Advanced Hair Studio has a range of solutions and treatments to deal with the fallout of folliculitis.

Our online store stocks a range of products like our Laser Hair Growth Treatment, AHS-FP Program or our Stem Cell Program that can put you on the path to successful hair regrowth.

Don’t let infected hair follicles get the better of you.

Hair Follicles

When we think of hair, we think of all the individual strands on our heads and elsewhere. That’s only half of the story. In fact, did you know that every strand of hair that we can actually see is dead? The living part lives just under the surface of the skin, and that’s known as the hair follicle.

What Is A Hair Follicle?

The hair follicle is a sebaceous gland, attached to a strand of hair, responsible for its growth. It is a collection of around 20 different cell types meshed with connective tissue, every one of which combines to grow your hair.

Hair follicles are found on every surface of the human body, with the exception of the palms, lips, soles and feet.

Areas of the human body with a high concentration of hair – like the scalp – also typically have the greatest number of hair follicles.

Why They Matter

Hair follicles are the beginning and the end of the hair growth story. They are responsible for the three distinct phases of the hair growth cycle:

Anagen: the active growth phase of hair, in which healthy hair grows roughly 0.5 inches a month for 3 to 5 years
Catagen: a short, 1 to 2 week transitional phase
Telogen: a resting phase in which your hair naturally falls out and begins to shed, which takes approximately 3 to 4 months

For a healthy person, the cycle is completely natural. Hair growing, shedding, and regrowing is a normal process. When the cycle is disrupted however, it’s a genuine cause for concern.

The hair follicle, and the maintenance of its health are the single most important factors in understanding, preventing and treating hair loss.

The Disruption of the Hair Follicle Growth Cycle

Although sometimes the disruption of the growth cycle can be sudden and unprovoked, in many instances there are early warning signs and risk factors which can predict an unhealthy hair follicle.

These include:

Natural issues such as metabolic disorders; hormonal imbalances; vitamin deficiencies and poor nutrition
Lifestyle factors like sudden stress, grief, emotional discomfort or other negative emotions

How We Can Take Care of Your Follicles

Unhealthy hair follicles, and the resultant disruption of the hair growth cycle can also lead to extremely negative emotions. This has the potential to create a feedback loop of hair loss and negativity, which can be hard to get out of.

Advanced Hair Studio has unlocked the secrets to healthy hair follicle maintenance. Hair loss treatment isn’t just reactive, it can and should be preventative. Even if it may not seem like you’re experiencing hair loss issues, your hair follicles could be in trouble.

Hair Transplant Before and After

What is a Hair Transplant?

A hair transplant is a surgical intervention into baldness, which moves existing hair to a part of the scalp where hair is thinning or balding. This treatment has been around for well over 50-years, but in recent years the technology and techniques behind hair transplants have improved significantly. Patients don’t have to deal with obvious and unsightly plugs; they now have real and natural looking hair transplant options at their disposal.

There are several options available, and all are extremely effective methods of treating baldness in a natural-looking manner. The length of the procedure depends on the size of the treatment area. A numbing agent is also used on the scalp, so the procedure is entirely painless.

Advanced Hair Studio Hair Transplant Treatment Options

Strand-by-Strand Surgical: Our Strand-by-Strand® is a follicular unit transplantation (FUE) that replaces each strand of hair one by one. This gives you a natural looking and permanent transplant that requires no maintenance because each strand will continue to grow naturally.
Strand-by-Strand® Non Surgical: This method offers the same benefit as the surgical option, although it is a non-permanent approach. There is no scarring or surgery required, and our patients enjoy a 100% success rate.
Female Strand-by-Strand® Non Surgical Hair Replacement: Hair loss afflicts women too. Our non surgical FUE hair transplant has been specifically designed to address female hair loss. Each strand is matched perfectly, so you can still create all your favourite hairstyles, and prevent the crippling self-doubt that hair loss brings.
Advanced Singular Hair Grafting®: This method combines surgical and non-surgical techniques to restore hairlines instantly. Some hair transplant methods for the hairline take 6-months or more to look natural, our hair grafting technique seems natural right away.

We can also complement these treatments with our other celebrated hair loss procedures, such as Advanced Laser Therapy and Thickening Fibres to give you a complete option for your hair loss.

Why Opt for a Hair Transplant?

As you can see from these hair transplant before and afters, the results are remarkable. Hair loss is about so much more than losing hair. So many patients report to us feeling as though they have been cheated out of their youth far too early, and that’s the problem with hair loss, it seems to be out of our control.

With a hair transplant, you can take control of your before and after shot. Hair loss doesn’t have to alter the way you feel about yourself, or the way others perceive you. Stay young and stay in control with Advanced Hair Clinic’s hair transplant procedures.

What is Minoxidil?

What Is Minoxidil?

Minoxidil is a clinically proven treatment option most often used to treat hair loss. Applied as a topical foam or cream, it works by stimulating hair regrowth when applied to the scalp, and can be one of many tools available to getting back your seamless, full head of hair.

How Does It Work?

The exact details of how it works are currently unclear. It’s thought that as a vasodilator, it likely widens blood vessels in a small area to stimulate more blood flow, bringing oxygen and nutrients along with it. This is also seen to activate dormant hair follicles, stimulating growth around the area.

With daily application, thicker natural hairs are seen in growing in place of balding areas within months. This offers many sufferers of alopecia a non-invasive, proven method to getting volume back.

Are There Side Effects?

Before considering treatment with Minoxidil, we recommend taking a free, no obligation Hair Check consultation at Advanced Hair Studio, to arrive at the best treatment program for you.

Although side effects are rare, Minoxidil can cause the following:

Skin irritation
Dizziness
Unwanted hair growth
Chest pain
Weight changes
Rashes
Allergic reactions

Should any of these occur, it is recommended that you stop taking Minoxidil and consult with your doctor immediately.

Why Should I Consider Minoxidil?

Minoxidil is a recognised and widely used method to combat hair loss, readily available and can be applied to a number of hair loss conditions. It’s non-invasive, meaning that risks associated with surgery can be avoided. It also assists the growth of hair after surgery.

It can also be used to treat specific conditions like seasonal hair loss and spot baldness. Minoxidil is a popular treatment across the world, and has been established as an option for both male and female sufferers of hair loss.

It is clinically safe, regulated by the FDA, and recommended in most scenarios with minor exceptions. It is also a core component in many post-surgery treatment plans, helping hair to regrow in a supportive environment.

This cost-effective and easy treatment option could be the first step to a new you. Find out today if this is the treatment for you.

Does Advanced Hair Studio Use Minoxidil?

Advanced Hair Studio uses Minoxidil as part of its Advanced Laser Therapy Treatment Program. You can regrow your hair with the powerful combination of the latest laser beam technology, an FDA approved regrowth pharmaceutical, and a proven scalp and follicle treatment program.

How To Stimulate Hair Growth

Anyone dealing with thinning or balding hair wants the answer to one question – how to stimulate hair growth! The answer to this question is crucial; thinning and balding hair creates a multitude of issues, ranging from a loss of confidence to a complete withdrawal from social activities and personal relationships.

If you’re struggling with hair loss, you should know that there are ways to stimulate hair growth and regrow your own hair. You just need to take the first step, which is organising a free, no obligation Hair Check at your closest Advanced Hair Studio.

How Can Advanced Hair Studio Stimulate Hair Growth?

Advanced Hair Studio has been in operation for 45 years. During that time, we’ve helped over 500,000 people to dodge hair loss and balding and developed leading methods of hair growth stimulation. All our methods are designed by hair-loss doctors and based on extensive scientific research and testing.

We use the following methods to stimulate hair growth:

Stem Cell Hair Technology Factors: Hair loss and balding is often a result of follicles that have become dormant. Our Stem Cell Hair Technology Factors treatment reactivates these follicles by sending powerful stem cell growth factors into each follicle. This removes and blockages, kills bacteria and increases the health of your follicles for improved hair growth.
Advanced Laser Therapy: We use high-quality and powerful laser technology, as well as pharmaceuticals and a scalp and follicle treatment program to stimulate your scalp and follicles, and create the perfect environment for hair growth.

How Do I Know If I Am Suitable For Treatments to Stimulate Hair Growth?

During your initial Hair Check, we will perform a complete analysis of your hair and scalp health. This will allow us to identify the cause of your hair loss, and give you an idea of the success you can expect from a hair growth stimulation program.

Patients opting for the combined Advanced Laser Therapy and Stem Cell Hair Technology Factors have been able to improve their hair growth by over 90%, and the Advanced Laser Therapy treatment has a 95% success rate.

Will Everyone Be Able to Stimulate Hair Growth?

Unfortunately, not all clients will be suitable for hair growth stimulation treatments. If this is the case, we will inform you after the Hair Check and give you a list of alternative therapies. We have hair transplant options that are perfect for any clients that aren’t suited to hair stimulation.

Our hair transplant techniques include:

Strand-by-Strand®: This procedure involves replacing lost hair strand by strand for a completely natural look. We have a 100% success rate with this process, and because each strand is matched, it looks natural with all styles and from all angles.

Thinning Hair

Thinning hair is a lot of things; scary, confusing, frustrating – but it’s definitely not untreatable.

As a matter of fact, thinning hair is eminently treatable, especially considering the amount of other, far more severe and long-lasting hair loss conditions there are out there.

Having said that, hair thinning is frequently misunderstood, and can also not be taken as seriously as perhaps it should be at times. Thinning hair can often signal the start of another hair loss condition – but it could just as easily be a small problem, likely to dissipate of its own accord.

That’s why it’s important to understand it.

What Is Thinning Hair?

Thinning hair is a form of hair loss. It just manifests itself in slightly different ways to many other common conditions.

Typically, normal humans lose an average of about 100 hairs a day. Once we begin to lose around 150 however, there is a cause for concern (don’t try to count each strand of hair you lose, but take note if it seems like more than usual when you comb or brush).

If this begins to happen, there’s likely hair thinning occurring in some form.

Types of Hair Thinning

Although there are many reasons for which someone’s hair might start thinning, there is one type which accounts for almost all cases.

This is known as Female Pattern hair loss, or in men, as Male Pattern hair loss.

Female Pattern hair loss is difficult to diagnose as it manifests itself in a markedly different way to its counterpart.

With men, hair loss and thinning is originally noticeable in the temple and front/top of the hairline; it’s less easy to apply similar patterns to the female hairline. Women follow different patterns; losing hair across the scalp, although most of it does begin at the crown.

Despite the differences in hair thinning between the two gender-specific conditions, they lead to the same result.

Men and women experiencing hair thinning can feel:

Frustration, sadness and other negative emotions at the gradual loss of their hair
Surprise, that they’re not losing their hair as suddenly as they might have thought
Confusion, because much about more typical hair loss problems such as alopecia is known to the public, whereas hair thinning is more misunderstood

Although there is a heavy genetic component to whether or not – and how severely – someone will experience hair thinning, there are several lifestyle changes that can be made, which can prevent onset.

This largely revolves around maintaining a balanced diet, with a consistent exercise and hygiene routine; while also avoiding alcohol, tobacco and other drugs in excess.

Advanced Hair Studio Can Treat Hair Thinning

If you’ve applied those lifestyle changes, and are still seeing your hair gradually thinning, don’t waste time.

Get in touch with us at Advanced Hair Studio, and we’ll be able to determine just what you and your hair need. Hair thinning can be reversed, we’ll show you how.
