Medications that May Cause Hair Loss

Image
A number of factors such as genetics or age can cause men and women to experience hair loss, but sometimes hair loss is caused by the medications you’re taking. In most cases, medications lead to temporary hair loss, and your hair will grow back once you adjust the dose or stop taking the medication completely. However, sometimes medications can cause you to develop male or female pattern baldness, which may lead to permanent hair loss. Hair loss typically begins 12 weeks after starting a new medication. If hair loss is concern for you, be sure to talk to your doctor before starting a new medication. Below is a list of medications with possible hair loss side effects.

Anticoagulants (blood thinners): Anticoagulant medications help fend off blood clots and prevent complications in people with certain conditions, such as heart disease. Anticoagulants may cause telogen effluvium — a type of hair loss that can affect the entire scalp rather than just a specific area. Anticoagulants that can lead to hair loss include warfarin sodium (Panwarfarin, Sofarin, Coumadin) and heparin injections.

Gout medications: Medications that are used to treat gout, such as Allopurinol, can also lead to telogen effluvium. Brand names include Lopurin and Zyloprim.

Beta blockers: These types of medications help reduce the workload of your heart and help to lower blood pressure. Beta blockers that have been known to cause telogen effluvium include Atenolol (Tenormin), Metoprolol (Lopressor), Nadolol (Corgord), Propranolol (Inderal, Inderal LA), and Timolol (Blocadren).

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors (ACE): ACE inhibitors are another type of blood pressure medication that have also been linked to telogen effluvium. Specific ACE inhibitors include Captopril (Capoten), Lisinopril (Zestril, Prinivil), Enalapril (Vasotec).

Vitamin A: If taken in large quantities vitamin A can cause telogen effluvium. Many acne medications typically contain vitamin A.

Female hormones: Female hormones may trigger hair loss. Birth control pills and hormone medications such as progesterone and estrogen have been known to possibly cause telogen effluvium and female pattern baldness.

Male Hormones: Just like female hormones male hormones can also trigger hair loss. Men who take testosterone or anabolic steroids may experience male pattern baldness.

Antidepressants: Certain medications used to treat depression and anxiety are also known to cause telogen effluvium, including Amitriptyline (Elavil, Endep), Amoxapine (Asendin), Clomipramine (Anafranil), Desipramine (Norpramin, Pertofrane), Doxepin (Adapin, Sinequan), Fluoxetine hydrochloride (Prozac), Haloperidol (Haldol), Imipramine (Janimine, Tofranil, Tofranil PM), Nortriptyline (Pamelor, Aventyl), Paroxetine (Paxil), Protriptyline hydrochloride (Vivactil), Sertraline hydrochloride (Zoloft), and Trimipramine (Surmontil)

Anticonvulsants: Anti-seizure medications can lead to diffuse patterned hair loss, which is when there is thinning hair on the top of the scalp but the hair on the sides and the back of the scalp remain intact. These medications include trimethadione (Tridione) and valproic acid (Depakote).

If you think that your hair loss is because of more than just your medication than call Hans Wiemann at (314) 721-6657 to schedule your FREE hair and scalp analysis.

Genetics & Hair Loss

Hair loss can be triggered by a variety of factors like stress, diet, health, even something as simple as a hairstyle can cause hair loss, but one of the most important factors can be found in our genes. Genetics can provide a lot of information about a person such as their eye and hair color but genes can also tell us a great deal about our hair loss.

Most male hair loss is caused by Androgenetic Alopecia more commonly known as Male Pattern
Baldness, a genetic condition that affects over 95% of men. Research has shown that genetic hair loss such as androgenetic alopecia is connected to hormones called androgens. Androgens play several important functions in the human body including regulating hair growth, particularly an androgen called dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

Dihydrotestosterone is an androgen hormone and a by-product of testosterone. Androgenetic alopecia is caused by the hair follicle's sensitivity to DHT. A DHT sensitivity causes follicles to shrink, resulting in a shorter lifespan and the abnormal production of hair. Hair follows a natural cycle it has a growing phase and a resting phase without proper nutrition, the resting stage gets longer while their growing phases get shorter.

At Hans Wiemann genetics are no longer an issue. Voted the largest treatment center in the country we utilize the very latest cutting-edge technology to help people solve their hair loss problems. Many of us here at Hans Wiemann know what it feels like to lose our hair.

ARTAS® - The Future of Hair Restoration


Over the past two decades robotic surgery has become increasingly popular, and with technological advances, ARTAS® Robotics has taken the lead. The ARTAS Robotic FUE Hair Transplant System was developed by leading hair transplant physicians and engineers to provide natural looking results without the complications associated with traditional methods. ARTAS eliminates the guesswork and fatigue associated with manual handheld methods, allowing for more precise and consistent hair transplant procedures. This less invasive technique grants patients with faster procedures, decreased recovery time, and reduced pain.

Traditional FUE Procedures:
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a relatively new procedure in the world of hair restoration. Although, it is a less invasive procedure, many physicians have not rapidly embraced it because it requires challenging specialized training. FUE demands the surgeon to manually analyze follicle angle and direction in addition to skin type. As a result, the procedure may be slow and tedious.

The ARTAS Difference:
ARTAS® Robotics utilizes the FUE method, but is designed specifically to assist the surgeon throughout the FUE procedure — unlike traditional methods. The physician controls the computer-assisted arm that utilizes advanced digital imagery to harvest hair follicles. ARTAS analyzes the scalp and harvests the most viable follicles, thus the graft quality is extremely high. The system allows the physician to supply the patient with maximum results, and little to no recovery time. This is the latest technological advancement in the hair restoration industry.

This less invasive procedure makes hair restoration much more attractive to those interested in a transplant; there is reduced recovery time, discomfort, and. The ARTAS system revolutionizes the entire hair restoration experience for both the patient and the physician.

As a leader in hair restoration and hair treatments, Hans Wiemann has teamed up with ARTAS Robotics to provide today’s most state-of-the-art hair transplant system to those in the mid-west. Hans Wiemann is the only facility within a 750 mile radius to offer ARTAS. Hans Wiemann continues to lead the industry in providing the best and most up to date technology to its patients.

Male vs. Female Pattern Baldness

Hair loss affects almost everyone, but the degree of hair loss and the cause is what differs amongst one individual to the next. One of the most common conditions that causes hair loss in both men and women is known as, androgenetic alopecia. Although, both men and women can have alopecia, the pattern of balding looks completely different, hence male pattern baldness and female pattern baldness.

How Does Balding Begin?
Balding and hair loss occurs when the hair follicle shrinks over time, resulting in finer hair until eventually the follicle does not grow new hair. Even though there is no longer hair growing, the follicles remain alive which suggests the potential for new hair to grow with the help of hair restoration treatments.

Androgenetic alopecia can be genetic, a response to unbalanced hormones or a combination of both. Although, there are similarities in the ways that androgenetic alopecia affects men and women, we've highlighted some of the major differences.

Male vs. Female Alopecia: 
In men, androgenetic alopecia is characterized by a specific pattern of receding hairline and thinning on the crown of the head. Often times it progresses to partial or complete baldness. Normally androgenetic alopecia, also called male pattern baldness, is diagnosed based on the appearance and pattern of hair loss.

Androgenetic alopecia usually has a very different effect on women. In female pattern baldness, the hair thins all over the scalp in no particular pattern although it is usually first noticed because of the widening of the center hair part. The front hairline usually remains unaffected. Also unlike male pattern baldness, androgenetic alopecia in women rarely leads to total or near total baldness.

The best treatments for hair loss for androgenic alopecia may differ among men and women. Men are typically better candidates for hair transplants because the hormone that affects hair loss usually doesn’t affect hair on the sides and back of the head. Therefore, those areas can be used as donor sites for hair transplants. In women, on the other hand, hair all over the head is unstable because there is no a distinct pattern of hair loss. But, some women are candidates for hair transplants and benefit greatly from that type of treatment. For those who are not hair transplant candidates, there are a number of other options to stop hair loss and help regrow strong, healthy hair. Hans Wiemann offers all of the solutions for both male and female pattern baldness including surgical hair transplants, non-surgical hair replacement, and Laser Hair Therapy treatments. Find out if you're a candidate for one of Hans Wiemann's revolutionary procedures by visiting HansHairLoss.com today!

NFL Fullback, Chris Gronkowski, Restores Hair With ARTAS® Robotics


Chris Gronkowski is an NFL fullback who most recently played for the San Diego Chargers. Even if you don’t recognize his name, you’ve probably heard of his younger brother Rob Gronkowski, tight end for the New England Patriots.

During his college years at The University of Arizona, Chris noticed that his hair was starting to thin. Hair loss problems affect millions of Americans not only physically, but emotionally too.
“I started to hear comments from other guys on the team giving me a hard time that my hair wasn’t as thick as my brother’s hair,” Chris explained.

Chris is not alone. Nearly 50 million men and 30 million women in the United States suffer from hair loss.

“When I was faced with thinning hair issues, I knew I wanted the best in the field,” said Chris. That’s when he was told about the ARTAS® Robotic System hair transplants, available at Hans Wiemann and one of the most advanced tools in the industry. “I knew it was for me,” he added.


The ARTAS® Robotic System uses a harvesting technique called Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). This type of hair harvesting technique provides a natural look with a less invasive procedure compared to traditional hair transplants, minimizing recovery time and scarring. The ARTAS® Robotic System technology, guided by a doctor, helps perform FUE transplants more accurately. As a result, ARTAS® extracts more hair, without damaging the follicles and in less time.

In about six months, the transplanted hair will be growing to create noticeable, permanent and thicker hair growth. Through the use of the ARTAS® Robotic System, Chris was able to restore his hair, his confidence and get back on the field.

Hans Wiemann is the only facility with a 750 mile radius of St. Louis to offer this technology. ARTAS® Robotic Hair Transplants do not leave you with linear scarring or stitches, and the results are your own growing hair. To find out if ARTAS® Robotic Hair Transplants might work for you, contact Hans Wiemann to schedule your free hair and scalp analysis today.

Hans Wiemann Brio™ Client, Barbara Kientzy


Hair loss is something that affects millions of people, presenting itself in various ways for various reasons. If you are one of the millions of people suffering from hair loss, you don’t have to hide from the world. You can receive treatment, treatment that works, with Hans Wiemann. Hans Wiemann has been helping both men and women restore their hair and regain confidence since 1957, and they can help you too. Keep reading to learn how Hans Wiemann was able to help Barbara with her hair loss.

Barbara's Story:

Barbara is a retired housewife who does her best to lead a fun social life. She is very active, attending Bible study, bowling and spending time with friends and family. A few years ago, she began to gradually lose her hair — a side effect of a medication she was prescribed. Like many Americans, she was in a tough situation because she needed to continue taking her medication. Barbara’s hair loss had started to make her feel very self-conscious. Barbara felt there were times people were no longer looking at her, but at her scalp instead. Eventually, she decided that it was time to do something about it. She called Hans Wiemann.

“I called them and they welcomed me … they were very warm and sincere and had a genuine care for my problem,” Barbara explained. 

After calling Hans Wiemann, she was able to get an appointment the next day. During her free consultation, Barbara received a hair and scalp examination, an explanation of her type of loss, and treatments options that would best suit her. With the advice of her consultant, Barbara chose the Laser Treatment Program. The Laser Treatment Program may take a year to complete depending on your treatment plan. Hans Wiemanns' Low Level Laser Light Therapy uses stimulation therapy to activate the body’s natural defense mechanism, reducing the levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) – the hormone that contributes to genetic thinning hair in men and women, promoting a healthy scalp and hair. After only six months of Laser Treatments, Barbara's scalp analysis showed hair growing in previously empty follicles!

“I got to thinking, it’s like I have little hairs growing but what do I do in the meantime, I want hair now because I’m a rather impatient person,” Barbara said. 

Following her Laser Hair Therapy Treatments, one of Hans Wiemann's hair loss experts introduced Barbara to the Brio™ Hair System, which is unlike any other hair restoration available and created by Tim Pfeiffer, Hans Wiemann’s President.

Brio™ combined with Laser Treatment gave Barbara the complete and immediate result she wanted. Brio™ is lightweight, non-surgical option that can give you the volume and fullness you've been searching for. Brio™ is light, transparent, and breathable, and only available at Hans Wiemann! Brio™ is perfect for anyone who wants immediate, natural looking results. Are you a candidate for Brio™? Find out! http://www.hanswiemann.com/brio-hair-system

Brio™ really gave me my life back.” -Barbara

ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplants

At Hans Wiemann we strive to provide you with the most advanced technology in order to restore your natural appearance in the fastest, most convenient way possible. We are proud to be the only facility within a 750 mile radius of St. Louis to offer ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplants. Hans Wiemann has been recognized by ARTAS Robotics as a Center of Clinical Excellence.

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) has been around for years but the process was not very efficient. ARTAS robotic hair transplants is changing that. Using ARTAS, FUE transplants can be done faster and more effectively. The ARTAS system, guided by a doctor, scans and digitally maps an area of the scalp to identify each hair that will be harvested. Harvesting is done much faster and with more accuracy than can be achieved by a human. This precision yields healthier donor hairs and preservation of the donor area.

ARTAS is not your traditional hair transplant procedure. More advanced technology provides you with permanent, natural looking results without the plugs, pain and stitches associated with traditional hair transplants.

Advantages of ARTAS Robotic Hair Transplants:

One significant advantage over older hair transplant methods is no linear scarring using ARTAS. Hairs that are harvested are carefully selected maintaining optimal spacing in order to preserve the natural look of the donor area. ARTAS is less invasive, requiring no stitches, which means no risk of a linear scar. The donor area will heal in 7-10 days and patients are typically back to usual activities in just a few days.


Another great advantage to ARTAS Robotics Hair Transplants is permanent results. In the six months after your procedure you will begin to see hair filling in and the growth will continue over the next year. These are your hairs so you can be sure they will look natural and blend in with your existing hair.

ARTAS Patient Benefits:

  • Intelligent algorithms identify and select your optimal hairs for harvesting.
  • Physician-assisted robotic technology delivers robust grafts.

Hair Loss Causes

Image
When you start to lose your hair it can be scary, not knowing what is causing it, or if it will ever grow back. At Hans Wiemann we take the time to magnify your hair and scalp to help determine exactly what is causing your hair loss to give you the best possible solution for restoring it, Hair loss can be caused by a number of different factors. The most common is hereditary hair loss, normally called male-pattern baldness or female-pattern baldness. Heredity can determine what age hair loss starts and its extent. Although, it’s the most common, heredity is not the only cause of hair loss. Some of the others are: alopecia, chemotherapy, stress and trauma, medications and an unbalanced diet.

Alopecia:
Alopecia is an auto-immune disease that affects approximately 2 percent of the world’s population. In people with alopecia, the immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, causing hair loss. There are three different types of alopecia; alopecia areata (hair loss in patches), alopecia totalis (loss of all hair on scalp) and alopecia universalis (loss of all hair on body). Men and women are equally effected by alopecia and it can occur at any age.

Chemotherapy:
Chemotherapy has many unfortunate side-effects including hair loss. Chemotherapy drugs are powerful medications that attack rapidly dividing cells in your body, healthy cells are attacked in addition to cancer cells. Fortunately, hair loss from chemotherapy is usually temporary. Even though losing your hair can be devastating, plan to use your energy staying healthy during this difficult time rather than worrying about how you look. Hans Wiemann offers a wide variety of chemotherapy hair loss treatment options for both men and women.

Stress and Trauma:
It is normal to shed between 50 and 100 hairs a day according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Excessive hair shedding is called telogen effluvium, this causes hair to suddenly shift into the shedding phase. It can be caused by a number of stressors like caring for a sick loved one, going through a divorce or losing a job. Telogen effluvium can also be caused by trauma to the body such as malnutrition, infection, surgery and giving birth. Normally your hair will begin to regrow as your body readjusts after the stressor is removed. If the stressor stays with you, however, hair shedding can be long lasting.

Medications:
Hair loss is listed as a side-effect for many medications. Some drugs used to treat arthritis, heart problems, depression, high-blood pressure and even birth control have been attributed to hair loss. Also, too much vitamin A can cause hair loss. Medications like topical retinoids used to treat acne and other skin conditions combined with taking vitamin A supplements can cause hair loss. Luckily, once the body stops getting too much vitamin A normal hair growth resumes.

Unbalanced Diet:
Having an unbalanced diet can be a cause of hair loss as well. Crash diets that greatly limit the foods you eat can leave your body deficient in certain nutrients. It is much healthier for both your hair and body to eat a well-balanced diet of complex carbohydrates, fats, fiber and protein.

Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation Solution

Anyone who’s experienced hair loss knows that living with less hair is challenging. Searching for the right solution can be confusing and intimidating, and with  many different treatments, techniques and terms to choose from, finding the right solution can even become overwhelming. If you've considered hair transplants here is some information that may help you determine which hair transplant technique is right for you.
FUT
The Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) method, also called the “strip method”, involves surgically removing a strip of scalp from the donors head. Once the hair follicles are extracted from the donor strip, they are then redistributed across the affected regions. The strip method transplants more hair per procedure so it’s a lot quicker, require fewer sessions, in turn helps limit costs. Although, scarring is minimal, this technique leaves a linear scar that makes short haircuts difficult. This procedure does have a longer recovery time, but results in greater coverage, density, and a natural, age-appropriate-looking hairline.     
FUE
The Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method involves harvesting individual follicular units one-by-one from the donor area and then each follicle is transplanted into the areas affected by hair loss. Since the FUE method involves removing fewer hairs, the process is more time consuming and may involve more sessions. However, since this technique doesn't involve removing a strip of skin from the scalp, there are no cuts or stitches which means no visible scarring. The results look completely natural — recovery is fast and almost painless allowing many patients to return to work the next day.  
      
Although, both techniques have been very successful, each method has its pros and cons and no technique is better than the other. At Hans Wiemann, our experienced staff will help you determine which hair transplantation option is right for you and your particular hair loss. We believe that only the best procedures with the greatest benefits are acceptable for our clients.
