Contact UsWhat Is Alopecia?
Alopecia is a generic term for hair loss. It can occur due to a variety of factors, including an overactive immune system, hormonal changes, as well as hair care practices and styles. It can occur at any age in both women and men. Take a look at some of the most common types of alopecia.
Types of Alopecia
- Alopecia Areata: occurs when your own immune system attacks your hair follicles, causing rapid reduction of hair, often in circular patches scattered throughout the scalp Androgenetic Alopecia is a genetic hair loss that results from being born with hair follicles that are highly responsive to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a derivative of the testosterone hormone. It can occur in both men and women and tends to progress with age.
- Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia: a type of hair loss that leads to inflammation and potential scarring of the scalp, usually starting at the crown. There can be a genetic component as well.
- Lichen Planopilaris: an inflammatory condition that causes scarring and patches of hair loss scattered throughout the scalp. It can also be uncomfortable and itchy or painful.
- Telogen Effluvium: a typically a reversible condition in which hair falls out after a stressful experience – physically, hormonally, emotionally, mentally, or nutritionally.
- Traction Alopecia: a type of hair loss that results from continuous pulling force on the hair roots, often caused by tight hairstyles. It commonly occurs along the front edges of the scalp and is often present as a result of years of tight hairstyles from childhood through your adult years.
