Postpartum Hair Loss Treatment

Bounce Back Beautiful: Reclaim Your Hair After Pregnancy

Postpartum hair loss, medically known as telogen effluvium, is a complaint some women have after childbirth. During pregnancy, elevated hormone levels keep hair in a growth phase, resulting in thicker, fuller hair. However, after delivery, hormone levels drop, leading to a shift in the hair growth cycle. This can cause an increase in shedding, typically occurring around three to six months postpartum.

While this experience can be distressing, it’s essential to know that postpartum hair loss is usually temporary, and there are effective treatments available to help restore your hair’s health and volume.

Why Does Post-Pregnancy Hair Loss Occur?

Some common factors that may contribute to postpartum hair loss include: 

HORMONAL CHANGES The significant fluctuations in hormones after childbirth can trigger hair follicles to enter the shedding phase.

STRESS The physical and emotional stress of new motherhood can further exacerbate hair loss.

NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES Breastfeeding and the demands of caring for a newborn may lead to dietary changes, resulting in nutrient deficiencies that affect hair health.

GENETICS A family history of hair loss may also play a role in postpartum shedding.

Understanding the causes of postpartum hair loss is the first step toward finding effective treatments.

Effective Treatments for Postpartum hair loss

At Radium Medical Aesthetics, we offer a range of hair loss treatments designed to combat postpartum hair loss and promote healthy hair regrowth. Our comprehensive approach includes intense scalp treatments and hair regrowth laser therapy, among others.

Customised Scalp Treatment for Hair Loss

At Radium Medical Aesthetics, we are able to customise a variety of scalp treatment to deeply nourish the scalp to boost nutrients and blood supply for healthier hair growth.

In addition, we use exosomes and PDRN in our scalp treatment regime.

Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles that play a key role in cell communication and regeneration. They contain growth factors, proteins, and RNA to promote tissue repair and regeneration. In the context of hair loss therapy, it stimulates hair follicles, enhance cellular activity, and promote thicker hair growth. It helps to improve overall hair density and scalp health.

On the other hand, PDRN is derived from fish DNA. It has regenerative properties and it is known to promote cell proliferation and wound healing. When used for hair loss, PDRN can enhance blood circulation, increase the metabolic activity of hair follicles, and stimulate hair growth.

In many circumstances, exosomes can be combined with PDRN to enhance their individual effects, providing synergistic approach to hair restoration.

Low-Level Laser Therapy for Hair Loss

Low-Level Laser Therapy, or LLLT is a convenient treatment that harnesses the power of laser technology to stimulate hair growth and combat hair loss. This non-invasive procedure involves using LED to penetrate the scalp, promoting cellular activity in hair follicles. By increasing blood circulation and enhancing cellular metabolism, LLLT encourages the growth phase of the hair cycle, leading to thicker, healthier hair.

The mechanism behind LLLT involves photobiomodulation, where specific wavelengths of light are absorbed by cells in the hair follicles. This absorption triggers biochemical processes that promote hair growth. By stimulating the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of cells, LLLT enhances cellular function and regeneration. Additionally, the treatment reduces inflammation and oxidative stress in the scalp, creating a more favorable environment for hair follicles to thrive.

One of the primary advantages of LLLT is its safety and convenience. The treatment is painless with no downtime, allowing individuals to seamlessly incorporate it into their daily routine.

Fotona Hair Regrowth Laser for hair regrowth

At Radium, we use Fotona Hair Regrowth Laser to stimulate dormant hair follicles to promote hair regrowth.

The mode of action lies in the patented Fotona SMOOTH pulses that gently deliver laser energy into the scalp, triggering it to stimulate hair follicles in a safe and controlled manner. It operates at the optimal infrared Er:YAG laser wavelength that coincides with the maximal absorption in the skin.

The overall gentle heating of the scalp induces it to produce growth factors, without significant ablation of the epidermis.
