Healthy Hair Equals a Healthy Body

Press Release / August 2024

As we enter the heart of summer, we frequently wash our hair and go to the sea and pools. While enjoying the sunny days, our hair becomes defenseless and needs protection against external factors. Increasing temperature, UV rays and salt water cause our hair to become damaged and lose its vitality.

Our hair is important not only for our appearance but also for our health, serving as the external reflection of our body, just like our skin. Dr. Merve Oflaz from Infinity Regenerative Clinic, who shares important information about hair health in summer, said: “Healthy hair is a sign of a healthy body. Although hair is often seen as the finishing touch to our beauty, it provides important clues about our overall health. The condition of your hair is affected by many factors, from your eating habits to your hormonal balance, from your stress levels to your overall health. Healthy hair appears strong, vibrant and shiny from root to tip. Like every organ, our hair can be brought to its best state with proper care and applications.”

Continuing by addressing problems affecting our hair health, Dr. Oflaz said: “If you experience seasonal problems such as hair loss, breakage and dullness, you may have a deficiency in important nutrients such as iron, zinc and B vitamins. By checking your blood values, you can get the supplement you need. Hormonal disorders such as thyroid problems and polycystic ovary syndrome can also cause hair loss and changes in hair structure. For this reason, I recommend that you have regular health checkups. Stress affects all our organs, and it affects our hair significantly too. Chronic stress can disrupt the hair growth cycle, leading to hair loss. This can affect a person’s mental health further, turning into a cycle.”

Mentioning that skin diseases such as psoriasis and eczema, fungal infections such as ringworm, or autoimmune diseases such as alopecia areata negatively affect hair health, Oflaz said: “Autoimmune diseases affect hair and show up as damaged, dull hair. Therefore, if you notice a problem such as excessive hair loss, dandruff, itching or redness, you should have regular health screenings and receive treatment as needed.”

You Can Benefit From Medical Methods to Protect Your Hair Health!

Mentioning that medical applications can also be used to protect hair health, Dr. Merve Oflaz said: “At Infinity Regenerative Clinic, we adopt a personalized health principle, and after the necessary tests and analyses, we apply the most effective treatment methods to protect your hair health. Our mesotherapy and PRP applications are particularly in demand.” Providing detailed information about the applications, Dr. Oflaz said: “Mesotherapy is the process of injecting a specially prepared mixture of vitamins, minerals and amino acids into the scalp at the hair roots. This mixture aims to nourish and strengthen hair roots and promote hair growth. PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is the process of injecting platelet-rich plasma obtained from a person’s own blood into the scalp. Platelets contain growth factors that stimulate hair roots and accelerate hair growth. Both mesotherapy and PRP help reduce hair loss, strengthen hair and improve scalp health. These are applications we usually prefer, and with which we achieve positive results, in cases such as androgenetic alopecia (hereditary hair loss), telogen effluvium (stress-related hair loss) and general hair thinning.”

Effective Treatment With Personalized Methods

Emphasizing that mesotherapy and PRP applications are carried out by specialist physicians in accordance with personalized treatment plans, Oflaz said: “Through applications such as mesotherapy and PRP, an effective treatment process is initiated targeting the cause of hair loss. After the application, initial results usually begin to appear from the 3rd and 4th sessions.”
