Hair Loss (Alopecia)
Understanding Hair Loss
Hair loss, medically known as alopecia, is a common condition that can affect the scalp or entire body — and contrary to popular belief, it affects both men and women. Causes range from genetics and hormonal changes to stress, nutrition, and certain hairstyling practices. At Clare Dermatology, early diagnosis is key. The sooner treatment begins, the better the outcome.
Different Patterns of Hair Loss
- Pattern Hair Loss — Genetic thinning affecting the crown or hairline
- Alopecia Areata — Patchy hair loss caused by an autoimmune response
- Stress-Related Shedding — Excessive loss triggered by physical or emotional stress
- Traction Alopecia — Caused by tight hairstyles such as braids or weaves
- Medical or Medication-Related Loss — Linked to underlying conditions or treatments
