Hair loss

Healthy hair has always been an expression of well being, beauty, attractiveness and success. Beautiful hair and the way we wear it increase our self esteem and self confidence.

Therefore, losing hair can be a traumatic experience for sufferers. Hair loss in both women and men can cause psychological stress and impair self image and emotional well being. Hair loss may affect every aspect of our lives - from the interpersonal relationships to our professional ties.

The medical term for hair loss is ALOPECIA. There are different types of alopecia: Scarring alopecia (hair can no longer be produced due to tumor or infection) and non-scarring alopecia (the hair can be produced again as the hair follicle functions fully). The three main types of alopecia – diffuse, areata and androgenetic – belong to the category of non-scarring alopecia.
