Hair Loss

Hair loss (alopecia) stems from aging, genetics, hormonal changes, stress, medical treatments or nutritional deficiencies. It can be temporary or permanent and affects both sexes. Cutis Hospital offers precise diagnosis and individualized treatment plans to halt shedding and stimulate regrowth.

Overview

Normal daily shedding (<100 hairs) is balanced by new growth. Disruption in the hair cycle leads to thinning or baldness. Common types: androgenic (pattern) alopecia, telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, scarring alopecias. Diagnosis involves exam, history, labs and sometimes biopsy. Management addresses underlying cause plus direct therapies.

Hair loss impacts mood and quality of life. Treatments at Cutis Hospital include topical minoxidil, oral finasteride, low-level laser therapy, PRP and surgical options. Multimodal approach yields best outcomes.

What are the types of hair loss?

Androgenic Alopecia: Genetic pattern in men and women. Telogen Effluvium: Stress-induced shedding. Alopecia Areata: Autoimmune patchy loss. Scarring Alopecia: Permanent loss from follicle destruction.

How does hair loss occur?

Androgenic: DHT-mediated follicle miniaturization. Telogen: Premature transition to resting phase. Alopecia areata: Immune attack on follicles.
