The term “alopecia” means “hair loss” and when it is attached to a specific condition, it refers to different kinds of hair loss. The most common type of hair loss for both men and women is androgenetic alopecia, also known as female pattern hair loss (FPH) or male pattern baldness (MPB). Alopecia areata, alopecia totalis, and alopecia universalis are autoimmune disorders where the affected hair follicles are mistakenly attacked by a person’s own immune system (white blood cells), resulting in the arrest of the hair growth stage.
The experts at our hair loss clinic in Mississauga will assess your hair and scalp and create an appropriate personalized hair loss treatment based on the underlying cause of hair loss. No matter how widespread the hair loss, the hair follicles affected by autoimmune alopecia remain alive and are ready to resume normal hair production whenever they receive the appropriate signal.
Hair loss affects most men and women at some time in their lives, typically as a part of the aging process. In 95% of all cases the cause of hair loss is androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male or female pattern baldness. The culprit of this type of hair loss is dehydrotestosterone (DHT), which is found in scalp follicles of both men and women. The level of this hormone causes hair follicles to shrink, making it difficult for healthy hair to survive.
This is primarily a hereditary condition, but diet and lifestyle can contribute to thinning hair in both men and women who are genetically predisposed to hair loss. While there is no cure for androgenetic alopecia, good hair and scalp care can help slow this process down. Let the specialists at our hair loss clinic in Mississauga identify the cause of your issue and create a custom hair loss treatment to counteract further damage to hair follicles.
Telegoen effluvium, commonly known as reactional hair loss, refers to increased hair shedding caused by stress, trauma, or severe illness. Reactional hair loss can be triggered in people whether or not they are genetically inclined to lose their hair or not. Although these effects are usually not permanent, for people predisposed to hair loss, stress can speed up the process.
During periods of extreme stress the body might simply stop hair growth production and instead focus its energy towards restoring or maintaining important body functions vital for survival. This causes hair to quickly enter a resting phase, resulting in less new hair growth. When the growth phase resumes, the normal amount of hair will typically reappear.
Certain cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, cranial radiotherapy, and anti-estrogen drugs, may cause partial or full hair loss. This is because cancer treatments are designed to destroy cancer cells, but can also damage healthy cells in hair follicles. Hair will normally regrow when the whole course of treatment is completed, but in some cases may not be as full depending on the type and intensity of the treatment.
Truly You believes that every person with cancer deserves to live life as normally as their energy and spirit allow. Our Comfort Program (https://www.trulyyou.ca/comfort.asp) is dedicated to helping you look and feel as “truly you” as possible while dealing with the side effects of cancer treatments. We know how personal this experience can be, and that is why every part of the program at our hair loss clinic in Mississauga is designed to be as comfortable as possible. This includes zero-obligation free consultations, private treatment rooms, as well as experienced and warm technicians.
