Cicatricial Alopecia Specialist

Understanding Cicatricial Alopecia and Specialist Care

Cicatricial alopecia, or scarring alopecia, permanently destroys hair follicles, replacing them with scar tissue. Diagnosis involves a thorough scalp exam by a dermatologist or hair restoration expert to differentiate it from other hair loss types. A biopsy may be needed to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment aims to stop inflammation, prevent further hair loss, and improve scalp condition.

Treatment Options Provided by Specialists

• Medical therapy: Steroids, immunomodulators, or antibiotics based on inflammation type and severity.
• Regenerative treatments: Growth factor concentrates like Growth Factor Hair Therapy (GFC) to support scalp healing.
• Hair restoration surgery: Procedures such as scar hair restoration for stable scars to improve hair density and appearance.
• Scalp micropigmentation: Cosmetic tattooing to conceal scarred areas.

Specialists tailor treatment plans, often combining several methods depending on the patient’s condition and disease stage. Early diagnosis and ongoing care affect outcomes.

Consulting a Cicatricial Alopecia Specialist

See a specialist if you notice patchy hair loss with scalp redness, scaling, or scarring. Early diagnosis prevents permanent damage. Many clinics offer in-clinic and online consultations for initial evaluation. Be ready to share your medical history, symptoms, and past treatments. Follow-ups track progress and adjust treatment as needed. Some clinics also provide male hair transplant or female hair transplant when appropriate.

Specialist clinics usually operate during regular hours and recommend scheduling in advance. Bringing photos of your hair loss progression can help the assessment.
