About Hairloss

Alopecia is a general term used to describe hair loss. There are several types of alopecia, which include:

1. Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA): Also known as male- or female-pattern baldness, this is the most common type of hair loss and is caused by a combination of genetic and hormonal factors. Medications such as Finasteride and Minoxidil, hair transplantation or scalp micropigmentation can be used to treat it.
2. Alopecia Areata: This is an autoimmune disorder that causes hair to fall out in small, round patches. Treatment options include corticosteroids (creams, injections, or pills) and topical immunotherapy.
3. Traction Alopecia: This type of hair loss is caused by repeatedly pulling the hair, such as from tight braids or ponytails. Treatment involves changing hairstyles and avoiding tight hairstyles.
4. Telogen Effluvium: This type of hair loss occurs when hair enters the telogen phase (the resting phase of the hair growth cycle) earlier than usual, causing hair to fall out. Telogen effluvium can be caused by hormonal changes, stress, medications, or other underlying health conditions. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause.
5. Scarring Alopecia: Also called cicatricial alopecia, is a group of rare disorders that destroy hair follicles and replaced by scar tissue, leading to permanent hair loss. It's treated with steroids, immunosuppressants, or topical agents.
6. Anagen Effluvium: This type of hair loss is caused by damage to the hair follicle, most commonly as a result of exposure to chemotherapy. Treatment typically involves allowing the hair to grow back on its own after chemotherapy is completed.

It's important to note that alopecia treatment will vary depending on the type and severity of hair loss and the underlying cause, so it's essential to consult with us .
