Alopecia and Hair Loss

Hair loss, known as Alopecia, can be caused by heredity and changing hormones. Although is it mostly predominant in aging women, in rare occurrences, it can also show up in women as young as 25 to 30. Almost half of women who experience permanent hair loss have female-pattern baldness, which is the female equivalent of male-pattern baldness. Alopecia has various forms, including Alopecia Areata, Alopecia Totalis, Alopecia Universalis, Androgenetic Alopecia, and Traction Alopecia.

Treatment for alopecia has limited success. The more hair lost, the less successful the treatment will be.

The psychological implications of Alopecia include stress, anxiety, and depression, and can in many cases involve issues relating to identity change, particularly when the eyebrows and eyelashes are also lost. Hair loss is sometimes the result of chemotherapy treatment for cancer sufferers.

The Alopecia type of hair loss is believed to be caused by the immune system reacting to hair follicles as if they were antibodies and shutting them down. The hair loss is usually limited to the coin-seized area and all the hair in the area is lost leaving a totally smooth round patch. In a more severe rarer condition called Alopecia Totalis, all hair on the entire body is lost, including the eyelashes. Treatments include topical medications, a special kind of light treatment, or in some cases drugs.

What is Alopecia?

Alopecia is an autoimmune hair loss disease that affects women, men, and children of any age. The onset of the alopecia/hair loss can be often sudden and frequently recurrent. Alopecia itself is not damaging to your health in any other way apart from possible changes in your nails and the obvious challenges of coping with hair loss.

What causes Alopecia?

The body’s immune system attacks the body’s hair-producing cells `follicles’, this stops them from producing new hair and causes existing hair to fall out.

How common is Alopecia?

There are varying statistics available, but it is commonly accepted that something approaching 1.7% of the population will suffer from alopecia to some degree during their lifetime.

Is Alopecia hereditary?

It is thought that 25% of people with alopecia will have a family history of the disorder.

Why did I get Alopecia?

Over 20% of patients with Alopecia have a family member who also has the condition. Alopecia is more likely if you have asthma, eczema, or thyroid illness. Some research has discovered a relationship between stress and trauma.

When will my hair grow back?

A large majority of people with alopecia experience some degree of re-growth. If the growing cells that supply the hair follicle remain active the potential for hair to re-grow is always possible.  There is always a possibility of complete re-growth, however, there is also the chance that the condition may worsen at any time. Alopecia is very unpredictable, which is one of the most difficult aspects of the condition as nobody can tell you with certainty what the pattern of your alopecia will be. If you do experience re-growth it can be any texture and color, from fine-down hair that’s white, to hair identical to your original hair color and texture.

What treatments are available for Alopecia?

There is no universally proven therapy for alopecia. However, there are treatments that can help with rare growth however, it tends to vary and something that works well for one person may not work well for another. Some treatments for some people and certain types of alopecia don’t work at all. There is no universally proven therapy for Alopecia.

Types of Alopecia

Androgenetic Alopecia

Androgenic Alopecia (also known as Androgenetic Alopecia or Alopecia Androgenetica) is a common form of hair loss in both female and male humans. Male pattern baldness is another name for this illness, which affects mostly men. Hair begins to fall out in a well-defined pattern above both temples. Hair at the crown of the head thins as well. A rim of hair is frequently left around the sides and back of the head, or the disease may proceed to full baldness. Women’s hair loss follows a different pattern than men’s baldness. The hair on women’s heads thins down all over, yet the hairline does not recede. In women, androgenic alopecia rarely results in total baldness.

Alopecia Areata

Alopecia Areata is a highly unpredictable autoimmune skin condition that causes hair loss on the scalp and other parts of the body. Approximately 1.7 percent of the population is affected by this prevalent yet difficult and unexpected condition. Because many people are still unaware of alopecia, the disease can have a significant impact on one’s life and functional status, both at work and at school.

The affected hair follicles are mistakenly assaulted by a person’s own immune system in Alopecia Areata, resulting in a hair development halt. Alopecia begins with one or more tiny, round, smooth bald patches on the scalp and progresses to entire scalp hair loss (Alopecia Totalis) or complete body hair loss (Alopecia Totalis) (Alopecia Universalis).

Alopecia Totalis

Alopecia Totalis is a condition in which all of the hair on the head is lost. Although the exact cause is unknown, it is currently thought to be an autoimmune illness. Although stress is sometimes assumed to play a role in Alopecia, many people who live relatively stress-free lifestyles have also experienced the symptoms. Treatments include topical medications, a special kind of light treatment, or in some cases drugs.

Alopecia Universalis

Alopecia Universalis, also known as alopecia Areata Universalis, is a medical disorder in which all hair, including eyebrows and eyelashes, is rapidly lost. With a prevalence of.001 percent, it is the most severe form of Alopecia Areata (1 in 100,000).

Traction Alopecia

Traction Alopecia Areata is a type of alopecia, or gradual hair loss, induced by pulling force on the hair. Trichotillomania is characterized by the repeated need to pull out scalp hair, eyelashes, facial hair, nose hair, pubic hair, eyebrows, or other body hair, sometimes resulting in apparent bald patches, and is defined as “hair loss from a patient’s repetitive self-pulling of hair.”

Alopecia Barbae

Alopecia Barbae is an immune malfunction that results in hair-less patches appearing in the beard region. Simply put, the immune system becomes confused and begins to assault the hair follicle, mistaking it for a foreign intruder. The good news is that by utilizing our specially formulated solution, thousands of men have been able to reverse their Alopecia problems.

Anagen Effluvium

Usually caused by chemicals that are used to treat cancer. It causes patchy hair loss at first, which often progresses to total hair loss. Once the chemicals aren’t being used anymore the hair will grow back.

Scarring Alopecia (SA)

A form of Alopecia that leaves scarring on the area of hair loss.

Telogen Effluvium

A form of hair loss where more than normal amounts of hair falls out and there is general thinning – unlike some other hair and scalp conditions the hair usually grows back.
