The Viviscal Report:The Hidden Impact of Thinning Hair February 2009

The Viviscal Report:The Hidden Impact of Thinning Hair February 2009 Download the Viviscal report: HERE (pdf file readable on most personal computers) Dr Nigel C Hunt, Associate Professor in Health Psychology at the Institute of Work, Health & Organisations, The University of Nottingham undertook the academic paper; The Viviscal Report:The Hidden Impact of Thinning Hair February 2009. The report is a large scale study into the psychosocial problems experienced by people with thinning hair and the attitudes of people towards those with thinning hair. Dr Nigel Hunt, an alopecia sufferer himself, said of the study “There is a need for more and better psychological help for people with thinning hair. If medical treatments do not work, then people need to learn to adapt to thinning hair. Currently, there is very little psychological treatment available, though we do know that people with thinning hair may experience clinical levels of psychiatric diagnoses such as anxiety, depression or social phobia. “Further research beyond that of the The Viviscal Report:The Hidden Impact of Thinning Hair is required to examine the effectiveness of psychological therapy for people with thinning hair. It is possible that psychological assistance may aid re-growth, as people who are stressed are more likely to experience thinning hair. Remove the stress, and perhaps remove the thinning hair. Of course, male and female pattern baldness is normal age-related thinning hair, and perhaps society should be accepting of these normal ageing processes”. read more here

Chemotherapy Cold Cap Reduces Hair Loss

Chemotherapy-induced Hair Loss and Hair Thinning ..87% of patients who used the “Cold Cap” during chemotherapy, saved their hair from falling out.. Hair loss has always been considered an inevitable part of fighting cancer. Every year, The American Hair Loss Association receives countless e-mails from women across the world diagnosed with cancer who claim to be just as terrified of chemotherapy-induced hair loss as they are of their cancer itself. Sadly, many women are willing to consider alternative unproven treatments, just to avoid losing their hair to chemotherapy. While most patients and physicians accept the inevitability of hair loss as being a part of successful cancer treatment, having the ability to avoid chemo-induced hair loss (anogen effluvium) would make the treatment process considerably more palatable, allowing patients to concentrate more on healing as opposed to what they look like during treatment. Now there is hope. According to a study in the European Journal of Cancer, 87% of patients who used the “Cold Cap” during chemotherapy, saved their hair from falling out. Another study published in the Annals of Oncology looked at several different methods of hair retention and found scalp cooling to be the most effective. The Penguin Cold Cap is kept at 22 degrees below zero and placed on the head before, during, and after receiving a treatment. It essentially freezes the hair follicles which prevents the chemo from being absorbed. Shirley Billigmeir is one cancer survivor who knows first hand just how effective the cold Cap can be [...]
