About Hair Loss

Don’t let hair loss hold you back any longer

Hair loss, also known as alopecia, is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Hair loss can be very distressing for anyone. Hair loss can affect your scalp or your entire body, and it can be temporary or permanent.
Generally, humans shed between 50 and 100 single hairs per day. Hair shedding is part of a natural balance, some hairs fall out while others grow in.
The balance is interrupted when hair falls out and less hair grows in which results in hair loss. Hair loss is different than hair shedding.
There are several types of hair loss, including:
Androgenetic alopecia: This is the most common type of hair loss, affecting both men and women. It is often hereditary and is caused by a combination of genetics and hormonal changes.
Telogen effluvium: This type of hair loss is usually caused by stress or a traumatic event, such as surgery or childbirth. It can also be caused by certain medications or medical conditions.
Alopecia areata: This is an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss in patches on the scalp, face, and other areas of the body.
Scarring alopecia: This type of hair loss is caused by scarring on the scalp, which can be due to burns, infections, or other types of trauma.
Traction alopecia: This type of hair loss is caused by pulling on the hair, such as through tight hairstyles or hair extensions

Scalp micropigmentation: This involves tattooing the scalp to create the appearance of a full head of hair.
Laser therapy: This involves using low-level laser therapy to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy: This involves injecting a concentrated solution of the patient’s own blood platelets into the scalp to promote hair growth.
