Types of alopecia – how to recognise and treat them?
Alopecia is a condition that affects both men and women and can have many causes.
» Androgenetic alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia, also known as male-pattern hair loss, is the most common type of alopecia in men, although it also occurs in women. It is a condition in which androgen hormones, such as dihydrotestosterone, damage the hair follicles, causing gradual thinning and loss of hair. At MMClinic we use therapies aimed at inhibiting the action of these hormones. In addition, we also offer specialised care that inhibits androgenic processes, such as needle mesotherapy of the scalp.
» Telogen effluvium
Telogen effluvium is a condition in which an excessive number of hairs enter the resting phase (telogen), which leads to sudden hair shedding. In this case, hair loss is usually caused by stress, nutritional deficiencies or illness. At MMClinic, treatment of telogen effluvium focuses on identifying and treating the underlying cause, as well as on stimulating the growth of new hair with therapies such as scalp mesotherapy.
» Alopecia areata
Alopecia areata is a condition in which hair falls out in specific areas, forming round or oval hairless patches. This type of alopecia is associated with autoimmune reactions of the body. At MMClinic, treatment of this type of alopecia includes topical treatment and immunomodulating therapies. In some cases, scalp micropigmentation may also be an effective solution.
