Alopecia

What is alopecia and why does it affect men and women?

Alopecia, the medical term for baldness, can affect both men and women. Its causes involve genetic predisposition, stress, and also external factors such as chemical procedures and excessive hair manipulation.

Available treatments

What treatments are available?

In addition to addressing triggering factors — such as stress management and healthy lifestyle habits — dermatology offers resources that can help improve the condition:

High-standard laser: technologies that act to stimulate the scalp.

Intradermal scalp injections: application of medications directly into the scalp, helping enhance the action on the follicles.

Medical follow-up

Why is medical follow-up essential?

Alopecia treatment is ongoing, as it respects the natural hair growth cycle. Medical evaluation with dermoscopy (an exam that magnifies the view of the hair and scalp) is essential to identify possible causes and guide appropriate treatment, in addition to managing associated conditions such as dermatitis.
