Alopecia

About

What Is It?

Alopecia is a condition that causes progressive hair loss, with causes that can be genetic, hormonal, stress-related, or linked to environmental factors. It can manifest with thinning, volume loss, and reduced hair quality, affecting aesthetics and personal well-being.

Types

Androgenetic Alopecia: common baldness

Androgenetic alopecia is the most common cause of hair loss, due to sensitivity to DHT (dihydrotestosterone). In men, it causes hairline recession and thinning in the upper area, while in women it manifests as diffuse thinning. It affects people after 20-30 years.

Alopecia Areata: patchy hair loss

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that leads to patches without hair. It can be triggered by stress, genetics, or autoimmune diseases. In severe cases, it evolves into total or universal alopecia. It affects men and women of all ages and can be temporary or chronic.

Telogen Effluvium: sudden hair loss

Telogen effluvium causes diffuse and sudden hair loss, often due to stress, hormonal imbalances, medications, or drastic diets. It affects men and women after events like pregnancy, high fever, or surgery. It's a temporary condition and hair regrows once the cause is resolved.

Traction Alopecia and Trichotillomania

Traction alopecia is caused by tight hairstyles (braids, ponytails, extensions) that stress follicles. Trichotillomania, instead, is a disorder that leads to compulsively pulling out hair, causing thinning. Both conditions can lead to permanent loss if not treated in time.

Cicatricial Alopecia: irreversible follicle damage

Cicatricial alopecia is caused by inflammations, infections, burns, or autoimmune diseases that destroy follicles, preventing regrowth. It's an irreversible form of baldness. Treatments aim to stop progression and, in some cases, surgical or aesthetic solutions are considered.

How To Avoid It

The causes can be:

  • genetic
  • hormonal (thyroiditis or various dysfunctions)
  • nutritional (nutritional deficiencies, anorexia)
  • chemical-pharmacological (chemotherapy, antidepressants, etc.)
  • psychological (prolonged periods of stress, depression, trauma)
  • How To Treat It

    Hair Filler: the regenerative treatment to strengthen hair

    Hair filler is an innovative treatment that uses biomimetic peptides to strengthen follicles, stimulate growth, and improve hair density. It's indicated for those suffering from thinning, volume loss, or weak hair and can be used in early stages to prevent alopecia worsening. Results include thicker, stronger, and more vital hair, with visible improvement after just a few sessions.

    Regenerative Transplant: the advanced solution for baldness

    For those with more advanced hair loss, regenerative transplant represents one of the most effective solutions. The technique proposed by imagemilano.com combines transplantation with a biostimulant approach, leveraging the potential of regenerative medicine to accelerate recovery, improve transplanted hair quality, and promote more natural and lasting growth. Thanks to this innovative method, the result is fuller and more homogeneous hair, with reduced recovery times compared to traditional transplants.
