Alopecia Areata

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition that causes sudden, patchy hair loss on the scalp, beard, eyebrows, eyelashes, or other parts of the body. It affects people of all ages and backgrounds and can vary in severity from small round patches to complete hair loss across the scalp and body.

Pattern Hair Loss

Pattern hair loss is the most common type of hair loss. It occurs in both men and women and becomes more common with increasing age. Around 50% of men over 50 and 50% of women over 65 are affected, though it can also start in younger adults and occasionally in early teen years.
Lichen Planopilaris (LPP)

Lichen planopilaris (LPP) is a type of scarring alopecia that primarily affects the scalp, most commonly in middle-aged women, although it also occurs in men, young adults, and, rarely, in children.

Telogen Effluvium

In telogen effluvium (TE), more hairs than usual enter the resting phase, leading to increased shedding. Instead of losing up to 100 hairs daily, some people may lose up to 300 hairs a day, resulting in noticeable thinning of hair volume.
