Alopecia Treatment Program

Alopecia can develop in individuals of all ages, genders, and ethnic backgrounds, with varying patterns and severities. In some cases, hair may gradually thin over time, while in others, sudden bald patches or complete hair loss can occur. Though not a life-threatening condition, alopecia can have significant psychological and emotional effects, impacting self-esteem and quality of life.

Causes of Alopecia 

Alopecia can be caused by multiple factors, including genetics, autoimmune reactions, hormonal imbalances, medical conditions, and external influences. The most common causes include: 

  • Genetics (Hereditary Hair Loss): Having a close family member with alopecia areata may increase your risk of developing the condition. 
  • Autoimmune Disorders: In alopecia areata, the immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, causing sudden, patchy hair loss. 
  • Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, and pregnancy-related hormone changes can trigger hair loss. 
  • Medical Conditions and Treatments: Certain illnesses, such as lupus, anemia, and scalp infections, as well as treatments like chemotherapy or radiation, can cause hair loss. 
  • Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of essential vitamins and minerals, such as iron, zinc, and vitamin D, can weaken hair follicles and lead to shedding. 

Classifications of Alopecia 

Alopecia is classified based on the pattern, severity, and cause of hair loss. The two primary classifications are: 

  • Cicatricial (Scarring) Alopecia: This occurs when hair follicles are permanently damaged and replaced with scar tissue, preventing hair regrowth. It can result from inflammatory skin conditions, infections, burns, or trauma. 
  • Non-Cicatricial (Non-Scarring) Alopecia: The hair follicles remain intact, meaning hair loss is often temporary or reversible, depending on the underlying cause. 

 Types of Alopecia 

Alopecia presents in various forms, each with unique characteristics:  

  • Androgenetic Alopecia (Male/Female Pattern Baldness): The most common form of hair loss, genetically inherited, and caused by hormonal sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It leads to gradual hair thinning and receding hairlines in men and widening part lines or diffuse thinning in women.
  • Alopecia Areata: An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the hair follicles, causing sudden, round bald patches on the scalp, beard, or other body parts. 
  • Alopecia Totalis: A more severe form of alopecia areata, resulting in complete hair loss on the scalp. 
  • Alopecia Universalis: The most advanced form of alopecia areata, causing total body hair loss, including the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and body hair. 
  • Telogen Effluvium: A temporary form of hair loss caused by physical or emotional stress, leading to excessive shedding due to a disruption in the hair growth cycle. 
  • Traction Alopecia: Hair loss due to repeated pulling or tension on the hair follicles from tight hairstyles, extensions, or braids. 
  • Cicatricial Alopecia (Scarring Alopecia): A group of rare disorders where inflammation permanently destroys hair follicles, preventing hair regrowth. 

Symptoms of Alopecia 

The symptoms of alopecia vary based on its type and severity. Common signs include: 

  • Gradual thinning of hair, particularly at the crown or hairline. 
  • Sudden patchy bald spots on the scalp, beard, or eyebrows. 
  • Widespread hair shedding following illness, stress, or hormonal shifts. 
  • Complete scalp or body hair loss in severe cases. 
  • Scalp redness, itching, or burning in cases of inflammatory hair loss. 
  • Changes in hair texture before noticeable shedding. 
  • Nail abnormalities, such as ridging or pitting, in autoimmune-related alopecia. 

Hair loss may occur gradually over time or suddenly, and in some cases, hair may regrow spontaneously or with treatment. 


Diagnosis of Alopecia 

Alopecia is diagnosed through a combination of clinical examination, medical history, and diagnostic tests. These may include: 

  • Scalp and Hair Examination: Visual inspection of hair patterns, scalp health, and shedding severity.
  • Pull Test: Gently pulling on small sections of hair to determine the severity of shedding. 
  • Trichoscopy (Scalp Dermoscopy): A non-invasive digital analysis of the scalp and hair follicles for abnormalities.
  • Blood Tests: Screening for nutrient deficiencies, thyroid disorders, autoimmune conditions, and hormonal imbalances that may contribute to hair loss.
  • Scalp Biopsy: A small sample of scalp tissue may be examined under a microscope to distinguish scarring vs. non-scarring alopecia. 
  • Hormonal and Genetic Testing: In cases of androgenetic alopecia, tests may assess DHT sensitivity, testosterone levels, and genetic predisposition.
