Module Aims
The aims of the module are to understand hair growth and hair loss and relate that to medical treatments for hair removal and hair replacement.
Content Summary
Normal hair growth cycles. Hair colour and variations. Hair follicle anatomy, physiology and pathology, and how is this related to hair follicle pharmacological treatment. What medical conditions are related to unwanted hair (polycystic ovary syndrome, folliculitis barbae, hormonal conditions, etc.)
Hair aesthetics – hair removal with laser and IPL systems, specifically excluding mechanical hair removal (shaving, plucking, de-epilation, waxing, electrolysis, etc.). How does laser hair removal produce a reduction in hair growth, which lasers can be used, what is the difference between each type of laser, what is the difference between laser hair removal and IPL hair removal. Is there a difference between hair reduction using “pain free” hair removal systems and using more traditional methods that have greater pain associated with them.
What is hair loss – how does it manifest itself, what are the different types of male hair loss patterns, and how can they be treated. What are the non-surgical methods of treatment (light therapy, hair stimulation non-surgical therapy) and what evidence is there to suggest their efficacy. What drug treatments are available for hair loss, how do they work, how effective are they, what are their side effects, what are their pharmacological properties. What surgical methods are available for hair loss.
This module includes mandatory formative assessment activities, to support students learning and development prior to summative assessment tasks.
