Hair loss

Alopecia is a condition that causes abnormal hair loss and can affect both men and women of all ages. The dermatologist is the specialist doctor who can best help you with its diagnosis and treatment.

What causes alopecia?

The causes can be very diverse, and understanding the origin is key to identifying the type of alopecia and finding the appropriate treatment.

Nutritional deficiencies

B vitamins, iron, zinc, and sulfur amino acids are essential for proper hair formation. Low levels of these nutrients can compromise hair quality or cause hair loss.

Stress

Stress raises cortisol levels, a hormone that, in excess, can promote hair loss. It can also affect blood circulation in the scalp and cause micro-inflammation, weakening hair follicles.

Hormonal
imbalances

High levels of some hormones, such as dihydrotestosterone (DHT), negatively affect the hair cycle. It is usually a common cause of alopecia in men and women approaching menopause.

Genetic factors

There is a genetic predisposition to the development of some alopecias. It is important to monitor if there is a family history of alopecia to detect it as soon as possible.

Postpartum

Childbirth itself involves physical and emotional stress. Added to the hormonal changes of pregnancy and postpartum, it causes exaggerated hair loss in more than 90% of recent mothers.

Adverse effects to medications

Childbirth itself involves physical and emotional stress. Added to the hormonal changes of pregnancy and postpartum, it causes exaggerated hair loss in more than 90% of recent mothers.

Types of alopecia

There are numerous types of alopecias recognized in dermatology according to the cause or origin, the pattern of hair loss, or the evolution.
Some of them may be irreversible, and therefore a correct diagnosis by the dermatologist is essential.

It is a form of diffuse hair loss that occurs when an exaggerated number of hair follicles prematurely enters the resting and shedding phase. It is usually triggered by stress, hormonal changes, postpartum, nutritional deficiencies, or diseases and is usually temporary and reversible. When the duration exceeds 6 months, we speak of chronic telogen effluvium.
It is a frequent type of progressive hair loss of genetic and multifactorial origin that affects 25% of women at some point in their lives. It is accentuated after menopause due to the decrease in estrogen. It is characterized by thinning hair in the central area of the scalp where a loss of density is visually appreciated, maintaining the frontal line.
It is the most common form of baldness in men, with genetic and hormonal origin, which usually begins between 20 and 25 years and progresses slowly if left untreated. The male pattern classically affects the area of the temples, the front and the crown due to the sensitivity of the follicles to androgens, causing a progressive loss of hair density.
It is the gradual loss of hair related to the natural aging of the hair follicle, which mainly affects older people. It is characterized by a diffuse thinning of the hair, the appearance of gray hair and an alteration of the hair fiber that modifies the texture of the hair.
It is an alopecia of autoimmune origin in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles, causing hair loss in localized rounded areas or more extensive areas in more severe cases, and the evolution is difficult to predict.
Chemotherapy treatments attack rapidly dividing cells, such as cancer cells, but also affect other rapidly growing cells, such as those of the hair follicle. This disrupts the hair growth cycle, causing hair loss, in most cases temporary.
