Alopecia Hair Loss Treatment

What is Alopecia Hair Loss?

Alopecia is essentially the medical term for hair loss. Hair loss occurs as a natural part of aging but can also be derivative of disease, allergic reactions, or side effects related to the employment of certain medications. Symptoms of alopecia can appear depending on the cause of the condition and can range from small bare patches of missing hair on specific areas of the body, to complete loss of hair throughout.

Types of Alopecia

Alopecia is a type of hair loss that happens when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles. The hair follicle is the point where hair growth begins. Large patches of hair fall out as a result of Alopecia. This type of hair loss condition can be found in both men and women but is more common in individuals under the age of 20. At the Miami Center for Dermatology, we utilize modern technology and technique to help create the best possible treatment for your condition.

Three Types of Alopecia:

  • Alopecia Areata: Losing hair in patches.
  • Alopecia Totalis: Losing all of the hair on the scalp
  • Alopecia Universalis: Loss of hair throughout the entire body

Due to the nature of alopecia to cause the immune system to turn on hair follicles, the condition is often considered an autoimmune disorder.

Hair Loss Treatment

Hair will often grow back for patients with alopecia areata, totalis, and universalis, but will likely fall out again. This hair loss can last for years. Although there is no cure for alopecia areata, totalis, or universalis, the body will attempt to grow back on its own. Treatment for alopecia areata, totalis, and universalis will expedite the system’s hair growth and help the hair return faster.

Pattern baldness is a normal part of aging, does not require any treatment, and isn’t harmful to your health.
