Early Signs of Hair Loss – What Hairstylists Can Look For

Hair Loss Procedures, , ,

Hairstylists serve many roles in their client relationships. From style expert to confidant, you are the one your clients trust to make them look and feel their best. You also are the professional who can first detect early signs of hair loss in your long-term clients. In some cases, the client notices such symptoms as decreasing hair volume and turns to you for confirmation that they aren’t just “imagining things” – as well as advice on the next step to take. On other occasions, you may notice thinning or patchy areas of the scalp before your client does.

In either case, knowing how to talk to your clients about this initial stage of hair loss and how to advise them to seek an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment gives you greater value as a beauty industry professional. Obviously, if you can alert a client about his or her hair loss in a timely manner and provide a knowledgeable referral to the right medical professional, you will keep that client longer! In addition, you will enhance your own reputation as a leading hairstylist who provides a higher level of service.

What amount of hair loss is normal?

According to Mayo Clinic, people typically lose about 100 hairs a day. As Salon Today notes, this amount doesn’t cause noticeable thinning because new hair is growing in at the same time. Hair loss occurs when the cycle of hair growth and shedding is disrupted or when the hair follicle is destroyed and replaced with scar tissue.

Knowing what to look for and providing the right advice

Dr. Marco Barusco – Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Tempus Hair Restoration – conducts a class on this important topic during the annual Premiere Orlando International Beauty Event. Although canceled this year due to COVID-19, this major industry show is scheduled to return to the Orange County Convention Center in October 2021.

This class is one way in which Dr. Barusco expresses his strong commitment to sharing his knowledge. In 2014, he was invited to be a part of the University of Central Florida College of Medicine faculty as Assistant Professor of Surgery. He also serves as a mentor for research projects in the areas of wound healing and surgery. Additionally, Dr. Barusco has written chapters in the most authoritative textbooks in the hair transplantation discipline. Some chapter examples include a description of the No-Shave FUE procedure developed by Dr. Barusco, and a description of the Tempus Crown-Hatching technique, which is used to improve coverage of the crown area of the scalp.

Dr. Barusco’s other credentials include the following:

As a generous authority in medicine and hair restoration, Dr. Barusco enthusiastically conducts his annual classes held exclusively for hairstylists. He knows that you are often your clients’ first defense in the battle against hair loss, and wants you to have the knowledge to help them prevent further loss. Dr. Barusco has provided the following text, taken from his class lessons.

Lessons from Dr. Barusco’s acclaimed class

“Stylists see hair loss all the time, multiple times a day, in both men and women. Unfortunately, not all of them are prepared to give their clients the correct advice, and often a patient will delay treatment for their hair loss because their hairstylist did not discuss it with them and/or did not refer them for medical treatment early enough.

“Many times, hair loss is present in areas of the scalp that are not accessible to the patient, such as the crown area and the back of the head, so clients sometimes don’t even know that they have an issue. Hairstylists are in a good position to detect potential hair problems and advise their clients, but in order to do it, they need to have the knowledge and be always on the lookout for problem areas.

“Hair loss can take many forms, and not all hair loss is genetic or “stress-related.” Many times a client’s hair loss can be triggered by medications, hormonal imbalances, anemia, thyroid disease, and other health issues that, unless treated, will continue to affect their hair.

Many of these health conditions are insidious and will not necessarily cause symptoms, so it is important to advise a client to look for a doctor with experience in hair loss so that these factors can be adequately investigated and treated. “Patchy” hair loss is easier to spot, and they can mean more serious problems, so if noticed, a referral to a specialist like us is paramount. Symptoms like itching, burning, and pain in the scalp are all red flags of inflammation, which can cause hair loss as well.

 “The bottom line is: any new onset hair loss (increased shedding, areas of thinning, patches of hair loss, irritated scalp, etc.) should be referred to a doctor for investigation, and not simply treated with the products that are sold at the salon. By working in conjunction with us, clients will have better hair for longer and will be happy that the stylist knew and cared enough to refer them. Worst case scenario, the client will have a simple type of hair loss and will benefit from treatment, along with their hairstylist’s advice on how to better make use of their hair.”

Open communication is key

Fortunately, most people feel comfortable talking with their hairstylist. If you are the one who notices early signs of hair loss, you can start the conversation by asking if the client has seen any changes in their hair recently. If the client brings the subject up, acknowledge that you see the change, as well, and take it from there. Losing hair is unsettling and frightening to most people, as so much of our self-esteem is based upon maintaining a certain image of ourselves. Having the support and informed advice of a trusted professional can make a significant difference in the progression of hair loss – and, in turn, the emotional well-being of your clients who face this challenge.

Make your referrals wisely

With Dr. Barusco’s extensive experience in medicine and hair restoration, you can be assured that your clients will receive an accurate diagnosis and the best treatment plan for their individual situation. In addition to his innovative surgical techniques, Dr. Barusco is a leader in such non-surgical treatments as subcutaneous adipose (fat) tissue, and growth factors therapy – which permits earlier intervention with a positive outcome, as stronger hair returns in the areas that are thinning, improving volume and scalp coverage.

We make it easy for your clients to contact us to schedule a free virtual consultation. Dr. Barusco conducts every consultation himself, giving your clients the opportunity to learn their options in the comfort of their home – or any location, on any internet-enabled device. Dr. Barusco conducts consultations in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

As we are always interested in building professional relationships, we invite you to reach out if you see the value in referring your clients to us for their hair restoration journey. We look forward to learning about you and your goals!

Things to Keep In Mind

If you or a loved one is experiencing hair loss after trauma to your head, be sure to do your research. Don’t trust just any hair restoration clinic. Make sure there is a surgeon performing the procedure. Often other practices use non-medically trained technicians to perform the procedures. You don’t want that! You need a medical professional’s expertise to avoid any potential harm to sensitive areas that may still be healing. You also need a surgeon who understands your delicate needs. Many times Dr. Barusco will request additional testing to be sure you’re body is ready for the procedure.

So many patients with special needs place their trust in Tempus Hair Restoration because Dr. Barusco personally performs every procedure himself.

Losing Confidence Over Hair Loss?

Surgery, , , , , , , , , , , ,

Are you noticing more hair than usual on your brush or seeing strands all over your clothes and furniture? Shedding 50 to 100 hairs a day is common and usually unnoticeable but if you feel hair loss is becoming part of your life it may be time to schedule an appointment with Dr. Barusco with Tempus Hair Restoration.

Hair loss generally occurs due to heredity, changes in hormones, medical conditions and some types of medication. Stress can also be a huge factor in hair loss. The most common reason is a family history which is called male/female-pattern baldness. The loss usually happens gradually and in patterns that are predictable. Heredity also affects the age at which you begin to loss hair. Men typically begin as early as puberty and women notice more loss in the later years when there are hormonal changes occurring. Alopecia areata, scalp infections, skin disorders, emotional distress and hair treatments can also cause hair loss.

Most people desire beautiful hair throughout all phases of life. Many feel a lack of confidence when hair loss occurs. Know that there are many natural options as well as medical therapy and restoration procedures now available for men and women of all ages and backgrounds.

We recently came across an interesting article from The Times of India that suggests the following natural tips to prevent hair loss. Have you ever tried any of them and seen results?

As always, Dr. Barusco offers a complimentary consultation at one of his 12 locations statewide. During the hour consultation he will be able to diagnose your needs and make the proper suggestions for treatment!

1. Hot oil massage
Heat some oil (preferably coconut oil or almond oil) and slowly massage your scalp using your fingertips. It increases flow of the blood to the hair follicles, enhances the strength of the roots of your hair and conditions your scalp.

2. Onion juice
Due to its high sulfur content, onion juice helps treat hair loss and enhance the circulation of blood to the hair follicles, revive hair follicles and reduce inflammation. The presence of anti-bacterial properties in onion juice helps kill the germs that cause scalp infection which may lead to hair loss.

3. Beetroot juice
This is one example of the saying ‘Solution to almost all body related problems can be found in the kitchen’. Beetroot helps you to complete your nutritional deficiency that causes the hair fall. So include it in your diet and fight this evil problem.

4. Green tea
Green tea revitalizes hair follicles and stimulates hair production. It also enhances your metabolism which ultimately leads to increased rate of hair growth. Just condition your hair with green tea solution and notice the change!

5. Meditate
Stress! This 6 letter word is the root cause of a lot of problems that come our way. One of the major problems is hair loss! Include meditation in your daily routine and get rid of this irritant.

6. Indian Gooseberry (Amla)
What’s better to treat hair related issues than Amla? One of the major reasons for hair loss is the deficiency of Vitamin C and Amla being a rich source of it, there’s no better way to replenish it back in our system!

7. Natural hair mask
Hair masks are a mix of various ingredients good for hair but they need not always be chemical based! Make hair masks at home using natural ingredients such as banana, coconut oil, olive oil and honey and control hair loss to a great level!

8. Neem Leaves
Neem, known for its medicinal properties is an effective herb to treat hair loss. Boil and grind neem leaves to a paste and apply it to your scalp after shampooing your hair. Wash it off after 30 minutes. Repeat the process twice in a week and notice the change!

9. Aloe vera
Aloe vera contains enzymes that directly promote healthy hair growth. Applying Aloe vera juice or gel on your scalp along with having one teaspoon of aloe vera on an empty stomach can induce healthy hair growth.

10. Egg white and curd paste
It may sound the grossest trick out of the lot, but egg white and curd are known to be preventers of hair loss. Take egg white of two eggs in a bowl and add two tablespoons of fresh curd or yoghurt to the egg white. You can mix this with neem powder and apply.

ISHRS Position Statement on Qualifications for Scalp Surgery
The position of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery is that any procedure involving a skin incision for the purpose of tissue removal from the scalp or body, or to prepare the scalp or body to receive tissue, (e.g., incising the FUE graft, excising the donor strip, creating recipient sites) by any means, including robotics, is a surgical procedure. Such procedures must be performed by a properly trained and licensed physician (or in countries where it is allowed, a licensed allied health professional practicing within the scope of his or her license).

After many years Dr. Barusco had an opportunity to visit his hometown of Sao Carlos to spend some quality time with his family and friends from so long ago.

Dr. Barusco also spoke at The Live Surgery Workshop organized by the ABCRC in Sao Paulo while visiting! He had the honor to moderate and lecture. He was able to catch up with old friends and colleagues.

BROW LIFT and FACE LIFT SURGERY & HAIR RESTORATION

Surgery, , , , , , , , , , ,

It’s becoming more popular for individuals of all ages to opt for brow lift surgeries. Sometimes after the procedure scars are more visible than desired by the patient – that’s where
Tempus Hair Restoration comes in!

ARTISTRY & DETAIL
Not all surgeons have the years of experience to provide delicate hair transplant scar repair.

Dr. Barusco brings artistry and detail that few others offer. It is this subtlety that is needed when you work on disguising a tricky cosmetic procedure like scar concealment. Dr. Barusco is uniquely qualified to treat patients who want to hide brow lift and face lift scarring around their hairline!

SURGEONS REFER TO TEMPUS HAIR RESTORATION FOR COMPLEX CASES
Dr. Barusco has become widely known for his specific techniques and attention to detail. So much so that other surgeons often refer complex cases to Tempus Hair Restoration for transplants that correct scars. For well over a decade, our team has built a reputation for
performing the sophisticated procedures other hair doctors can’t do. This includes correcting botched procedures done by practices that take no pride in their results.

YOU HAVE OPTIONS
You now have many effective options to hide your procedure scars. Let Dr. Barusco help you find the best one for you! We take your needs into account, like few other restoration practices can, by giving you access to a wide array of treatments. We offer both the FUT (traditional “strip” method) of hair transplantation and the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and the No-Shave FUE. We are THE ONLY practice in Central Florida to offer the innovative, No-Shave FUE procedure. In this procedure, you get all the advantages of the FUE method without the need to shave the section of your head for the harvested hairs. This technique offers you the most discreet hair transplant possible because only minor scabbing will be visible.

Contact Tempus Hair Restoration today for a complimentary consultation
at 877-877-5200.

Facial Hair Transplant Options for Men & Women

Missing Out On “No Shave November”?

Have you always felt left out of “No Shave November” because you weren’t able to grow a full beard? Well, now is the time to consider a facial hair transplant so you can experience what all the hype is about!

At Tempus Hair Restoration, Dr. Marco Barusco is not limited to performing hair transplant procedures just on the scalp. Beard, mustaches and side-burn procedures are becoming very popular for those that want a fuller, more defined look.

Went “Tweezer Happy” Too Many Times?

Sick and tired of penciling in your eyebrows every day? You’re not alone! Many people are choosing to reconstruct their once natural look with a facial hair transplant. In fact, the most common area for hair transplants, other than the scalp, is the eyebrows. Your eyebrows are a very important facial feature and are one of the few ways you visually express emotions.

If you’ve lost yours due to a disease, a scar or a cosmetic choice that you now regret, Dr. Barusco and his team can help give you the look that you desire. We even treat patients with tattooed eyebrows that are now fading and discoloring.

The Tempus Hair Restoration Difference

It is important to know that techniques used in facial hair transplants are different from the ones used for procedures on the scalp. You need a specialist like Dr. Barusco who posses artistic
experience and pays close attention to detail. That includes taking the time to plan the angle and direction of hair for the most natural looking results. Dr. Barusco understands how hairs from different areas of the body behave, and he has the skill and artistry to harvest the hairs that are the best match.

If you would like to fill in gaps or have scars that could be hidden by facial hair, don’t cut corners with a less experienced practice.
