Vitamin D and hair
In recent years, at Dr. Panno’s Hair Transplant Clinic we have found that 80% of patients have a vitamin D deficiency.
This causes many of the treatments to not work properly. What we have to do is work together with other specialists to discover the origin of this vitamin D deficiency. It is usually corrected with correct supplementation, which also helps us with our medical treatment.
However, the medical treatments of the Dr. Panno Hair Transplant Clinic already include vitamin D, because this aspect has already been speculated for years.
Therefore, vitamin D supplementation is very important, at the same time that we carry out analytical tests to know the general health of the patient. The patient who comes to the clinic should be treated comprehensively and should be treated by a doctor who makes a complete diagnosis. It must be borne in mind that a patient may not only have one alopecia, but may also have several alopecia. Even the patient can now suffer a type of alopecia and, over time, develop another type of alopecia that affects his hair transplant or medical treatment.
Alopecia is a chronic condition. You have to be constantly visiting the specialist so that the treatment is applied effectively, this being altered and reviewed every time the professional deems it necessary, modifying it over time, because today’s circumstances are not tomorrow’s circumstances.
How vitamin D affects hair
There are multiple functions of vitamin D. It is important to regulate metabolism but, above all, it is necessary to absorb calcium and phosphorus, nutrients related to the health of bones, teeth and skin.
Thanks to the power of vitamin D to absorb calcium, we can strengthen our bones, decrease the possibility of bone fractures and accelerate healing. It will also be easier to increase our muscle strength.
In addition, this vitamin also stimulates the growth of hair follicles, the part of the skin responsible for hair growth, so it can make our hair look stronger and more vigorous.
Since Vitamin D is the nutrient that makes hair growth possible, a deficit in our body will leave our hair weaker, static and brittle. It can also accelerate hair loss and be related to alopecia.
