Alopecia is a broad medical term for hair loss, encompassing a range of conditions that lead to partial or complete loss of hair from the scalp or body. At Regrow Hair Centre in Shenfield, Essex, we provide specialist treatments and tailored care for individuals experiencing alopecia, helping restore not just hair but confidence and peace of mind.
Understanding Alopecia
The term “alopecia” refers to a variety of hair loss types, each with different causes and symptoms. Common types include:
- Alopecia Areata – An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks healthy hair follicles, resulting in sudden patchy hair loss.
- Androgenetic Alopecia – Often called male or female pattern baldness, this hereditary form of hair loss is gradual and commonly seen in adults.
- Telogen Effluvium – A temporary hair shedding condition triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal shifts.
- Scarring Alopecia – Less common, this involves inflammation that permanently damages hair follicles, preventing regrowth.
Each type of alopecia requires a unique approach, which is why a professional consultation is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
What Causes Alopecia?
Alopecia may be caused by a range of factors, including:
- Autoimmune disorders
- Genetic predisposition
- Hormonal imbalances
- Nutritional deficiencies
