What is Alopecia?

Alopecia is a term used to describe the loss of hair which may lead to partial or complete baldness. It is one of the most common hair loss problems faced by millions of men and women across the globe. If this problem is left untreated, it often leads to complete baldness of the scalp. This condition can affect individuals as early as in their 20s till their 60s.

What are the types of Alopecia?

Alopecia can be of three types –

 Telogen effluvium – Telogen effluvium is a rare hair loss condition that leads to excessive hair shedding due to a maximum number of hair follicles going into the resting phase. This results in temporary hair loss. This condition can be caused by physical or mental stress, illness, the side effect of certain medications, etc.
 Androgenetic alopecia -Androgenetic alopecia is a common hair loss condition that occurs due to the heightened activity of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hormone in both men and women. In men, this type of hair loss is characterized by hair loss in the temple and crown area. However, in women, it leads to thinning of hair.
 Alopecia areata -Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder that leads to excessive shedding of hair on the scalp as well as other areas of the body such as eyebrows, beards, etc. If not treated timely, this often leads to complete baldness.

What are the causes of Alopecia?

Alopecia can occur due to several reasons. Here are some –

 Heredity

 A fungal infection in the scalp

 Mental stress and anxiety
 Sudden loss of weight

What are the treatment solutions for hair loss or Alopecia?

Before proceeding with the treatment plan, the dermatologist will carefully diagnose Alopecia, its possible causes and its severity. This can be done using the visual examination of the scalp and hair pull test. After ascertaining the type and severity of Alopecia, the dermatologist will recommend a customized treatment plan which may include one or more of these treatment solutions –

 Topical medication -Minoxidil is a topical medication prescribed by the dermatologist to treat male pattern baldness. This helps in reversing hair loss by improving the blood flow to the hair bulbs which promotes hair growth.
 Oral medication -Finasteride is FDA approved medication that can be taken orally to slow down the progression of Alopecia. It is important to keep taking this medication consistently to see visible results.
 PRP treatment -Platelet-rich Plasma treatment is an advanced hair regrowth treatment that uses the patient’s own blood to stimulate dormant hair follicles and encourage new hair growth. This treatment results in natural hair regrowth and improvement in hair density. It is a non-invasive and safe way to grow hair that can be cut and styled as you like. Since the plasma is extracted from the patient’s own blood platelets, it does not pose any risk of allergy or infection.
