women's hair restoration

Loss of hair as a result of illness, functional disorder, or hereditary disposition. The medical term for hair loss.

The majority of women with androgenetic – also called androgenic – alopecia have diffuse thinning on all areas of the scalp. (Men rarely have diffuse thinning but instead have more distinct patterns of baldness.) Some women have a combination of two pattern types.

Androgenic alopecia in women is due to the action of androgens, male hormones that are typically present in only small amounts. Androgenic alopecia can be caused by a variety of factors tied to the actions of hormones, including some ovarian cysts, taking high androgen index birth control pills, pregnancy, and menopause.

Just as in men, the hormone DHT appears to be at least partially to blame for the miniaturization of hair follicles in women suffering with female pattern baldness. Heredity plays a major factor in the disease.

Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia (CCCA) is a form of scarring alopecia that results in permanent hair loss. The exact cause of CCCA is unknown and is likely multifactorial. Hair care practices, such as the use of the hot comb, relaxers, tight extensions and weaves, have been implicated for decades, but studies have not shown a consistent link. Other proposed causative factors include fungal infections, bacterial infections, autoimmune disease, and genetics. One study has shown an association with medical conditions such as type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Hair loss typically begins at the vertex or mid-scalp and extends outward in a centrifugal manner. There is loss of the follicular openings on examination of the scalp. Thus, the scalp may appear shiny. While some persons do not have symptoms, tenderness, itch and burning are common. Hair breakage may also be an early sign of CCCA. Hair loss is slowly progressive.

A form of Lichen Planopilaris that is characterized primarily by slowly progressive hair loss (Alopecia) and scarring on the scalp near the forehead. In some cases, the eyebrows, eye lashes and/or other parts of the body may be involved, as well. Although it has been suggested that FFA may be due to hormonal changes or an autoimmune response, the exact cause of this condition is not yet known.

Lichen planopilaris is a rare inflammatory condition that results in patchy progressive permanent hair loss mainly on the scalp. Three forms are recognised:

Classic lichen planopilaris, also known as follicular lichen planus
Frontal fibrosing alopecia
Graham Little syndrome

Lichen planopilaris usually affects young adult women, although the age range is wide and it also affects men. It commonly develops in association with lichen planus affecting the skin, mucosa and nails.

Although lichen planopilaris is rare, it is one of the common causes of scarring hair loss of the scalp.

Lichen planopilaris typically presents as smooth white patches of scalp hair loss. No hair follicle openings can be seen in the areas of hair loss. At the edges of these patches there may be scale and redness around each hair follicle. Hairs can be easily pulled out. It is multifocal and small patches may merge to form larger irregular areas.

Common sites of involvement are the sides, front and lower back of the scalp.

Temporary or permanent hair loss can be caused by several medications, including those for blood pressure problems, diabetes, heart disease and cholesterol. Any that affect the body’s hormone balance can have a pronounced effect: these include the contraceptive pill, hormone replacement therapy, steroids and acne medications.

Some treatments used to cure mycotic infections can cause massive hair loss, as well as chemotherapy medications used in cancer treatment.

Hair loss can also be caused by radiation to the head and cause specific areas of permanent hair loss. Injury can also cause areas of hair loss. Surgery or injury to the scalp from cuts, blows or burns can destroy hair follicles and leave specific areas without hair permanently. We can create specific solutions for these unique areas.

Almost everyone has had the urge to pull their hair when they’re stressed or frustrated. But when this urge becomes an uncontrollable impulse, it can lead to hair loss that results in bare patches, pain and inflammation. Not to mention a loss of self esteem and confidence. This disorder is known as Trichotillomania.
