ALOPECIA

Androgenetic Alopecia: Also known as male-pattern or female-pattern baldness, androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hair loss, characterized by progressive thinning of the hair on the scalp in a distinct pattern.

Alopecia Areata: Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that causes sudden, patchy hair loss on the scalp or other areas of the body. It can occur at any age and may be accompanied by nail abnormalities.

Telogen Effluvium: Telogen effluvium is a temporary form of hair loss that occurs when a significant number of hair follicles enter the resting (telogen) phase prematurely, leading to excessive shedding and thinning of the hair.

Traction Alopecia: Traction alopecia is caused by repeated pulling or tension on the hair follicles, often due to tight hairstyles such as braids, ponytails, or hair extensions. It typically affects the hairline or areas where tension is applied.

Scarring Alopecia: Scarring alopecia, also known as cicatricial alopecia, results from inflammation and destruction of hair follicles, leading to irreversible hair loss and scarring of the scalp.

Genetics: Family history and genetic predisposition play a significant role in determining susceptibility to certain types of alopecia, such as androgenetic alopecia.

Autoimmune Disorders: Conditions such as alopecia areata involve the body’s immune system mistakenly attacking hair follicles, leading to hair loss.

Hormonal Imbalances: Hormonal changes, such as those associated with pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, or thyroid disorders, can contribute to alopecia.

Stress: Physical or emotional stress can trigger temporary hair loss known as telogen effluvium, disrupting the hair growth cycle.

Medical Treatments: Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or certain medications may cause temporary or permanent hair loss as a side effect.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: PRP therapy involves injecting concentrated platelets from your blood into the scalp to stimulate hair follicle growth and improve hair density.

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): LLLT uses safe, low-level laser light to stimulate hair follicles, increase blood flow, and promote hair regrowth.

Topical Treatments: Prescription-strength minoxidil or corticosteroid solutions to apply directly to the scalp to slow down hair loss and stimulate new hair growth.

Oral Medications: Prescription medications such as finasteride or spironolactone to block the effects of hormones that contribute to hair loss or suppress the immune system in cases of alopecia areata.

Hair Transplantation: Surgical transplantation of hair follicles from donor areas to bald or thinning areas of the scalp to restore natural hair growth.

Scalp Micropigmentation: Non-surgical procedure involving the application of specialized pigments to the scalp to create the appearance of fuller hair density and camouflage baldness or thinning areas.
