Alopecia Explained

Understanding the different types of alopecia and their causes is critical when considering the best treatment options. 

At our clinic, we offer scalp micropigmentation to help cover and blend thin or bald areas on the scalp caused by alopecia. This non-invasive treatment can greatly enhance your appearance and improve your quality of life. Alopecia can be divided into categories based on cause and effect. 

The most prevalent type is androgenic alopecia or male pattern baldness, which disproportionately affects men over the age of 50. This condition is believed to be caused by changes in male sex hormones and is often hereditary. 

Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disorder characterized by circular patches of hair loss that can occur at any age and are often exacerbated by factors such as stress from work, the death of a loved one, and poor health. 

Alopecia Totalis and Alopecia Universalis are variations of Alopecia Areata, which results in hair loss on the entire scalp and body, respectively. Understanding the different types and causes of alopecia is crucial to finding the appropriate treatment. Book an appointment with our scalp micropigmentation specialist to discuss your options and determine the best course of action for your hair loss concerns.

Scalp micropigmentation produces instant yet gradual results, providing visible results in hair loss treatment. It offers long-lasting concealment for baldness, covering where it is lacking and regaining confidence. The healing time is short, and maintenance is easy. The remaining steps of the procedure will be taken care of once the initial treatment plan is finished. The pigments do not wash off easily, remaining present to provide camouflage and coverage where needed.
