There are several types of hair loss, each with unique causes and treatments:
-
Androgenetic Alopecia: Also known as male or female pattern baldness, this genetic condition is the most common form of hair loss.
-
Telogen Effluvium: Often triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes, this type causes temporary shedding.
-
Alopecia Areata: An autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks hair follicles.
-
Traction Alopecia: Caused by tight hairstyles or repeated tension on the hair.
-
Cicatricial (Scarring) Alopecia: A rare form where inflammation damages hair follicles permanently.
Understanding which type you’re experiencing can guide your choice in treatments like our Grow & Restore System, which addresses both scalp health and follicle stimulation.
