Xuxa reveals having Androgenetic Alopecia

Understand the disease and how to treat your hair

Recently, Xuxa revealed her desire to shave her hair due to androgenetic alopecia, a condition that causes progressive hair loss, during her appearance on the show Casa de Verão, hosted by Eliana, on GNT. She said she has little hair and thinning, and that even with treatments, the hair loss continues.

Androgenetic alopecia is the leading cause of hair loss worldwide. The problem is genetic and is strongly influenced by male hormones in the hair follicle, making the strands progressively thinner with each growth cycle.

Dr. Renata Melo, a specialist on the subject, explains that there are advanced treatments that help slow down hair loss and restore hair health. She developed the Regenera Hair protocol, which combines technologies to reverse hair loss without invasive procedures.

“The Regenera Hair protocol is a set of personalized steps for each patient that provides effective results,” from the consultation to the recovery of hair health,” says the doctor. Here’s how it works:

1. Detailed Medical Consultation

Evaluation of the scalp and laboratory tests to identify nutritional deficiencies that may be contributing to hair loss, such as iron deficiency.

1. Digital Videotrichoscopy

An advanced imaging technique that analyzes the health of the scalp and diagnoses conditions such as alopecia, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis.

1. Erbium/Sol Laser

Technology that stimulates the metabolism of hair cells, promoting regeneration and strengthening of the strands with minimal discomfort.

1. Microinfusion of Medications into the Skin (MMP) with Mesoject Gun

Applied directly to the scalp without needles, ensuring greater absorption of active ingredients and a pain-free experience.

1. Photobiomodulation

Stimulation of hair cells with laser to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and increase blood circulation in the scalp.

Alopecia has been a very common complaint at dermatologist Karina Mazzini's clinic, which is why the doctor set up a dedicated Hair Spa space to treat the strands. In addition to diagnosing hair loss and other types of problems, Karina performs specialized treatments with technologies and injectable substances. "Today there are super advanced options that improve the health and growth of the strands, such as treatment with Lhulium Laser, hair LED, and Drug Delivery by electroporation," explains the dermatologist.

Hair treatment with exosomes has proven to be very effective in combating hair loss and improving scalp health. According to the specialist, this treatment promotes the proliferation of hair cells by up to 30%, recovering healthy growth, hydrating and nourishing the scalp for shinier and fuller hair. “It can also be combined with other hair procedures, such as Thulium Laser.” The hair exosomes are deposited on the scalp through Drug Delivery, which has an electroporation technology that dilates the pores and delivers the substance directly into the skin without puncturing it.

Among the laser treatments, the Thulium Laser is the most commonly used for alopecia treatment as it acts on the hair bulb, stimulating growth and making the strands stronger and healthier. Karina emphasizes that this treatment is one of the favorites, as it not only recovers healthy hair growth but also has no downtime and does not cause redness. "Especially for men, who generally do not like recovery time, the Thulium Laser is great, as the patient leaves the office without needing to wear caps or hats to hide that they had a procedure done," details Karina.
