| blue light therapy for hair loss: Hair Loss Dossier John Vincent, 2018-12-10 “Hair Loss Dossier” Exposes the Perpetrators of The Big Lie about Hair Restoration and Reveals the Truth About the Real Answers to a Common Problem. The book explains “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” options to hair loss. According to Dr. Ken Washenik, Bosley Hair Restoration Medical Director, Hair loss is not life threatening. It's life changing! A powerful statement summarizes the impact hair loss has on a woman’s self-image, Losing your hair is like losing a part of your soul! Although baldness is not funny to those experiencing a vanishing hairline, equally, self-esteem diminishes as does one’s hair. Fact: 50% of men and 40% of women experience this annoying, debilitating condition in their lifetime. The experience can lead to a frantic search for answers and mistaken choices can result in lasting disappointment. The book pulls back the curtain on unscrupulous companies that intentionally mislead the public. It exposes the unattractive underbelly of businesses that prey on the hair loss sufferer's insecurities and desperation for a “fix.” The Dossier zeros in on all popular hair treatment claims and dissects the pros and cons of each. Wigs and hairpieces...worn by celebrities, high-profile figures and everyday citizens are critiqued, as are elaborate hair styling techniques, such as the one implemented by the current US President to disguise his hair problem. The real story about hair transplantation as a lifetime answer to thinning hair is revealed, as is the truth about the wealth of temporary treatments that never get to the “root of the problem.” Unfortunately, the public is vulnerable to the relentless marketing of “miracle products. Most of the information found in the media and online is intended to sell or promote a product or service, often with the implication these are permanent answers to thinning hair or baldness. This exposé will dispel the misinformation that is widely disseminated and provide a message of optimism and a valid treatment strategy for hair loss sufferers. The underlying message is, There is no cure for baldness, only treatment. Millions of dollars are wasted each year on worthless products. Although this condition is overwhelmingly caused by a genetic predisposition to thinning and balding, the book offers hope and a roadmap to prevent further loss and to encourage growth. Travel on a journey to discover how the choices of hair transplantation, drugs, topical treatments, camouflage products, light therapy and utilizing your own stem cells can work for you. Learn about the pros and cons as the author directs you to pursue a path to what he terms Hair Preservation. |

| blue light therapy for hair loss: Handbook of hair in health and disease Victor R. Preedy, 2012-05-23 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.

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.

| blue light therapy for hair loss: Human Diversity: Its Nature, Extent, Causes And Effects On People Bernard Charles Lamb, 2015-10-28 Human diversity, with its myriad of different conditions involving biology, psychology, and social structures, remains one of the biggest challenges — and opportunities — facing the species. With many government and private firms now having diversity or equality officers, programmes or committees, it is clear that human diversity is a cornerstone of policy-making at the very highest echelons. All this points to a need for proper scientific and medical information on this topic — not soft 'politically correct' sociology.This book provides the hard facts on human similarities and differences, their causes and effects on people. It covers the whole range from normal to extreme human types, and presents — for the first time — much of the author's 25 years of original research on the subject. It can also act as a family medical guide to aspects of human function, structure and disease. It covers many human topics in a humane and understandable fashion, providing much material for information and discussion. It can be used as a handbook or textbook on human diversity, but is mainly popular science for the general public. A special feature of this book is the 140 colour photos that illustrate the diversity of human life, nearly all taken by the author himself.Given the vast nature of the subject, the book seamlessly integrates relevant data from multiple disciplines including medicine, biology, anthropology, genetics, psychology, evolution, languages, sociology, history and geography. Even controversial subjects such as race, class and culture are tackled head-on with no-nonsense scientific rigour. |
| blue light therapy for hair loss: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Lubna Pal, David B. Seifer, 2022-04-13 Now in a completely newly revised and expanded second edition, this comprehensive text presents the current state of the art in our understanding and management of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the most common hormonal disorder of reproductive aged women. The numerous bothersome symptoms of PCOS include menstrual irregularities, hirsutism, acne, scalp hair thinning, weigh excess and infertility; additionally, as they age, women with PCOS are at a higher risk for metabolic abnormalities such as diabetes and dyslipidemias, as well as for cardiovascular disease and even certain cancers. Despite improvements in our understanding of this condition, the exact cause/s of PCOS remain elusive; genetic, hormonal, metabolic and environmental underpinnings are all suggested as relevant. All chapters have been updated, with eight new chapters added across seven thematic sections. Part one discusses the epidemiology of PCOS in both adults and adolescents. Part two covers the pathophysiology of PCOS, including genetics, the hypothalamo-pituitary-ovarian and the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axes, insulin resistance, inflammation, and obesity. The next three sections present the various management strategies, medical and surgical, for harnessing the symptomatology, including PCOS-related infertility; these chapters include added case material to provide real-world examples of the treatments in action and their efficacy. Part six covers the comorbidities that women with PCOS commonly encounter, such as issues of mental health, sleep disturbances, endometrial hyperplasia, and cancer, as well as examines the economic burden of PCOS. The final section discusses emerging concepts surrounding possible mechanisms and potential therapeutic approaches to PCOS, including angiogenic dysfunction, the role of vitamin D, future potential therapies to targeted AMH signaling. The closing chapter, by familiarizing the readers with the intergenerational implications of PCOS and by raising awareness of potential “ripple effects”, aims at alerting the community on a need for vigilance as regards the health of PCOS progeny. With contributions from leaders in the field, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Second Edition remains the gold-standard text on this common medical condition and a valuable resource for the wide range of healthcare professionals engaged in caring for the women with PCOS (including but not limited to reproductive endocrinologists, gynecologists, family physicians, dermatologists, mental health professionals), for the aspiring women's health providers of tomorrow, and for the researchers who are striving to unravel the mysteries of the complex entity that PCOS is. |
