THINNING & GROWTH

ALOPECIA

Alopecia is an umbrella term representing a number of different hair loss conditions, which range from patchy thinning to complete baldness and (in extreme cases) hair loss across the face and body.

What is Alopecia?

The term "alopecia" is often used as a shorthand for alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks hair follicles. It is one of the most common forms of alopecia - though there are various types, each with a range of different characteristics and effects.

Changes to the hair, including thinning or hair falling out, may also signify an underlying medical condition that requires attention. It's important to talk to a doctor or a trichologist if you notice changes to your hair's density or condition.

MORE ABOUT ALOPECIA

  • Alopecia of any kind is diagnosed by a doctor, trichologist or dermatologist through a physical examination and by looking into a patient's medical history (including family medical history).

TOPICAL & TREATMENT GLOSSARY

Local corticosteroid injections (or creams/pills) have shown a limited amount of success in treating hair loss, including some types of alopecia. Injections are applied to the scalp and brows every four to six weeks, ceasing when hair regrowth has been achieved.
