Book excerpt: Each year, men spend an enormous amount of time and money searching for a cure to male pattern baldness. Numerous psychological assessments indicate that the reasons behind their futile efforts are sound: attitudes toward bald men are overwhelmingly negative. From the first torturous attempts at hair implants early in this century to the faddish, well-hyped drug treatments of today, the extremes to which men have gone in an effort to regrow hair or cover their bald scalps are examined in this work. The various causes for baldness advanced by credible members of the medical establishment over the years are detailed, as well as instances of outright quackery prompted by numerous individuals and companies. Wigs, weaving, transplants, flaps and scalp reduction are among the techniques explained.

Download or read book Androgenetic Alopecia From A to Z written by Konstantinos Anastassakis and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reference volume conveys complete understanding and management of Androgenetic Alopecia and Female Pattern Hair Loss (AGA/FPHL). These are probably the most common adult (18-50 yrs.) health disorders besides dental caries, accounting for over 98% of hair loss cases in males and over 70% cases in females. The present volume, the first of three related volumes, is structured in 4 sections: 22 dedicated chapters, ranging from basic science (Biology, Anatomy, Physiology, Embryology), the etiology of adult, childhood & adolescent AGA/FPHL, diagnostic steps and evaluation, to related disorders and comorbidities. For the first time in the scientific literature, all pathogenic contributors of AGA/FPHL, including micro-inflammation, scalp vascularization, biochemical stress, aging, solar radiation, and the sebaceous gland, are examined in comprehensive, dedicated chapters. The effects of every hormone on AGA/FPHL, as well as the psychological impact of the condition, are explored in depth. An extensive chapter on childhood and adolescent AGA/FPHL, a more common than previously thought condition, is another unique feature. Finally, two extremely detailed sections are included on the pathogenic links of AGA/FPHL to life-threatening comorbidities: cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, insulin resistance, and prostatic disorders, with suggested guidelines on how to save lives of balding patients by adopting early screening strategies. In providing a fully updated, thorough guide to this popular topic, this richly illustrated volume (over 200 figures, tables, and algorithms) offers the latest, evidence-based information on every aspect of AGA/FPHL causing hair loss to countless patients. Each subject is addressed according to learning and clinical needs, and the presented information is supported by a wealth of peer-reviewed papers. Every aspect of this condition is considered, including biology, diagnosis, etiology, from drug treatment, the influence of nutrition, lifestyle and food supplements, to related disorders, surgical hair restoration, hair care, and future treatment options. This handbook will be an invaluable conveying best management standards to readers, whether experienced practitioners, clinicians, dermatologists, surgeons or researchers interested in hair restoration.
Download or read book The Biology of Hair Growth written by William Montagna and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-09-24 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Biology of Hair Growth is based on a conference on The Biology of Hair Growth, sponsored by the British Society for Research on Ageing, held at the Royal College of Surgeons, in London, 7-9 August 1957. The papers presented at this conference, and a few others, have been gathered in this book to serve as a source reference for all those interested in research on hair and hair growth. The application of modern methods in histology, cytology, histochemistry, physiology, electron microscopy, the use of radioactive isotopes, and modern biochemical techniques have given greater insight into the phenomena of growth and differentiation of hair follicles than ever before. The book opens with a chapter on the embryology of hair. Separate chapters follow on the anatomy and histochemistry of the hair follicle; the electron microscopy of keratinized tissues; the chemistry of keratinization; the mitotic activity of the follicle; and the the vascularity and patterns of growth of hair follicles. Subsequent chapters deal with behavior of pigment cells and epithelial cells in the hair follicle; the nature of hair pigment; the effects of nutrition on hair growth; and effects of chemical agents, ionizing radiation, and particular illnesses on hair roots.

Download or read book Alopecias Practical Evaluation and Management written by D. Ioannides and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hair is subject to either intrinsic (i.e. physiological) aging or extrinsic (i.e. premature) aging that can be attributed to external factors. The intrinsic factors can be associated with genetic mechanisms and are subject to individual variations, whereas external factors include ultraviolet radiation, air pollution, smoking, and possibly nutrition. Leading experts have contributed to this book which offers a practical approach to the evaluation and management of various forms of alopecia, including their pathogenesis, the diagnostic procedures involved, medical treatments, and nutritional issues. A completely new surgical technique for hair transplantation that leaves behind sufficient follicle unit tissue to regenerate hairs is also described. Being comprehensive and easy-to-read, this book should be very useful for dermatologists who wish to diagnose and treat their patients with hair problems more effectively.
Download or read book Handbook of hair in health and disease written by Victor R. Preedy and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hair is a major component of the body's tissue system that contributes to the individual's make up and confers a large degree of personal identity. Apart from its visible façade, hair also has a functional role. It has an unique structure and complex molecular development. The very nature of hair makes it a suitable marker for the prognosis of disease. Hair can also be used to screen for toxins and changes in the diet. However, there are currently no suitable publications available that describe hair in a rational scientific context. This handbook provides an academic approach to hair in health and disease. Divided into five sections the Handbook of Hair in Health and Disease provides an insight into hair growth and loss, molecular and cellular biology of hair, dietary toxicity and pathological history, diseases and treatments of hair, as well as shampoos and conditioners. Unique features of each chapter in this volume include relevant and useful 'Key facts' which highlight interesting or important findings of the specific subjects and 'Summary points' that will give a clear overview of the subjects treated in each chapter. The Handbook of Hair in Health and Disease will be essential to a variety of users, such as trichologists, doctors and nurses and all those interested or working within the area of hair health. This includes nutritionists and dieticians, scientific beauticians, health workers and practitioners, college and university lecturers and undergraduate and graduate students.

Download or read book Aging Hair written by Ralph M. Trüeb and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-04-02 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Aged? But he does not appear aged, just look, his hair has remained young!” Marcel Proust, In Search of Lost Time (1913–27) The appearance of hair plays an important role in peoples’ overall physical appe- ance and self-perception. With today’s increasing life-expectation, the desire to look youthful plays a bigger role than ever. The hair care industry has become aware of this, and capable to deliver active products that are directed toward meeting this c- sumer demand. The discovery of pharmacological targets and the development of safe and effective drugs such as minoxidil and fnasteride also indicate strategies of the drug industry for maintenance of healthy and beautiful hair in the young and old. The study of hair aging focuses on two main streams of interest: On the one hand, the esthetic problem of aging hair and its management, in other words everything that happens outside the skin; on the other hand, the biological problem of aging hair, in terms of microscopic, biochemical, and molecular changes, in other words the “secret life” of the hair follicle in the depth of the skin. Hair aging comprises hair shaft aging, and aging of the hair follicle. The former involves weathering and photoaging of the hair shaft, while the latter manifests as decrease of melanocyte function (graying) and decrease in hair production (alopecia).

Download or read book The Maliniak Method written by Leon Maliniak and published by Dollar Cinema. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Announcing A Major Break-Through In The Science Of Hair Loss And Male Pattern Baldness A radical new theory has recently been published which explains that HAIR LOSS and MALE PATTERN BALDNESS are really caused by TWO factors and not just one, as was previously thought. Stop Hair Loss and Grow New Hair with the Maliniak Method The first factor, which is the radical new element, is the third layer of the TOP of the scalp called the GALEA which becomes very "tight" in some people, disrupts ordinary blood flow to the follicles and sets in motion the sequence of events which triggers hair loss. The role of the GALEA has been debated for years, but this new theory provides the rationale for concluding that it must be involved because men only go bald in the areas where this GALEA exists and nowhere else. The second factor is still dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which this new theory now states only accumulates due to this restricted blood flow and which is still the actual "killer" of follicles, as per the conventional wisdom. Even more significantly, this theory also concludes that "dormant" follicles can in fact be revived to produce hair again contrary to everything we were previously told. The new theory is called the MALINIAK METHOD and is published by BORN AGAIN, The Alternate Science Company. More importantly, this theory also provides a simple new two-step treatment method which first relaxes the GALEA with simple massage techniques to restore proper blood flow to the top of the scalp. It then stimulates the dormant follicles to produce hair again with an electrical stimulation device which revives the use of an old established science derived from NIKOLA TESLA. It has been around for one hundred years and is still being used to this day but in other applications. It has been adopted and adapted in the MALINIAK METHOD to treat HAIR LOSS because that is one of the purposes it was used for originally. Two independent scientific studies have recently been published which confirm the validity of the TWO main premises of the MALINIAK METHOD. One of them is from the CROWN institute in Pickering, Ontario, which confirms that the GALEA is in fact involved in hair loss and male pattern baldness. It also concludes that a reduction in the oxygen going to the follicles causes DHT to be overproduced, adding another explanation for why this "tightness" of the scalp is at the root of this problem. The second study is from the University of Pennsylvania which found that certain types of STEM CELLS called "progenitor" cells are more numerous in non-bald areas and that these dormant cells can in fact be induced to become "progenitor" cells, in effect, be "revived" and induced to produce hair again, contrary to the previous knowledge and as predicted by the MALINIAK METHOD.
