ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Losing your hair is hard. No matter how much we learn about it or read about it, we just can't envision it until it happens. The experience isn’t the same for all of us.
ALOPECIA AREATA
When your hair starts shedding, pretty much everything gets scary. You go through denial, despair, and fear -- the whole spectrum of negative emotions. At first you don't want to talk to anyone, but eventually you'll be concerned enough to speak to someone.
ALOPECIA TOTALIS
While many conditions can cause partial or temporary hair loss for women, Alopecia Totalis is one that is complete and often permanent. Like Alopecia Areata, Alopecia Totalis is an autoimmune disorder that causes the immune system to use your body's natural defenses against your hair follicles.
ALOPECIA UNIVERSALIS
If you’ve been noticing changes in your eyebrows, facial hair, and arm and leg hair, then you could be contending with the most advanced form of Alopecia Areata, known as Alopecia Universalis.
CENTRAL CENTRIFUGAL CICATRICIAL ALOPECIA
Hair loss is one of the most frustrating things a man or woman can face. Fortunately, our understanding of hair loss conditions and options for fighting them have come a long way in the last few decades.
FRONTAL FIBROSING ALOPECIA
Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA) is a form of scarring alopecia that creates a band of permanent hair loss around the frontal hairline. This rare autoimmune disorder is most common among women in their 40s and 50s.
TRICHOTILLOMANIA
Any kind of hair loss can cause psychological struggle, but few types are the result of psychological conditions. Trichotillomania is the exception – a disorder characterized by chronic hair pulling.
MEDICAL HAIR LOSS
For men, women and young people, it's vital to find the root cause of their hair loss because there are so many possibilities, many of which are harmful or require medical treatment.
