Alopecia
Alopecia affects millions of people worldwide, yet it is still widely misunderstood. For many, hair is closely tied to identity and confidence, which is why hair loss can feel overwhelming, isolating, and deeply personal. At Bridgeen King Hair Loss and Hair Replacement Clinic, we understand how difficult this journey can be and are here to provide expert, compassionate support.
What Is Alopecia?
The term alopecia simply means hair loss, but it comes in different forms. While there are many types, the two most common we see in our clinics are Alopecia Areata and Androgenetic Alopecia. Each affects the hair in different ways and requires a tailored approach.
Alopecia Areata
Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the hair follicles. This usually causes round or patchy areas of hair loss, which can appear suddenly and affect anyone, regardless of age or gender. For some, hair may grow back over time, while others may experience recurring cycles of shedding and regrowth. Its unpredictability makes it one of the most emotionally challenging types of hair loss.
Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic Alopecia, commonly known as male or female pattern hair loss, is the most widespread type of alopecia. It is hereditary and develops gradually over time. In men, it often starts with a receding hairline or thinning crown, while in women, it usually appears as overall thinning across the scalp. Although common, its impact on self-image and confidence should not be underestimated.
More Than Just Hair
Hair loss is never just about appearance. It can affect self-esteem, confidence, and even mental health. That is why seeking the right support is so important. At our clinic, we take the time to listen, understand, and create solutions that are as unique as you are.
