Hair Loss Treatment

Women and men alike suffer from abnormal hair loss, as losing the equivalent of 100 hairs per day is considered a natural matter and part of the hair growth cycle. The causes of hair loss vary depending on people, places, environments, health, psychological and hormonal conditions.

It is an abnormal loss of hair that leads to a reduction in hair density or the loss of a large part of it that leads to baldness or the formation of areas devoid of or almost devoid of hair, which ultimately leads to an aesthetic problem that affects the psychological level and whose treatment requires a number of both medical and aesthetic means, and the means vary. Applied depending on the reason.

Types of Hair Loss

At Dr. Dima Ahmad’s clinic, we discuss types of hair loss that differ according to their causes, and also differ in the appearance they take, including:

  • Androgenetic alopecia: This type of hereditary baldness can affect anyone (male pattern baldness or hair loss in women).
  • Alopecia areata: Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease that leads to hair loss from the head and body.
  • Telogen effluvium: This type of hair loss involves rapid hair loss over a short period of time. It occurs a few months after the body is exposed to something physically or emotionally stressful, and may result from sudden hormonal changes.
  • Hair loss: Very rapid hair loss occurs as a result of some medical treatments, such as chemotherapy.
