Suffering from Alopecia? Let us help you.
What is Alopecia?
Alopecia areata is a condition where the immune system attacks its own hair follicles, which causes hair loss usually to the scalp and face. The hair follicles are present in the skin. It can affect people of any age and typically manifests as circular bald patches on the scalp or other parts of the body. In some cases, it can progress to total hair loss on the scalp (alopecia totalis) or complete loss of body hair (alopecia universalis).
If unsure of diagnosis, please speak to our clinicians who can provide potent topical corticosteroid treatment, if there is no evidence of hair regrowth. Please provide pictures of non-intimate areas if you choose the telephone consultation; pictures are not required for video consultation.

What is Hair loss?
Hair loss, also known as alopecia, is the condition in which a person experiences reduction in hair on the scalp or other parts of the body. Hair loss can be temporary or permanent, and it can affect just the scalp or the entire body. It can result from a variety of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, medications, or lifestyle factors.
Hair loss can be upsetting and affect your self-confidence, but did you know it was normal to loose hair and an average person can loose up to 100 hairs per day? Your hair goes through a life cycle of growth, rest and shedding phases; as you get older, hair falls out quicker than regrowth and this is what results.
