"Diffuse alopecia is a condition characterized by widespread hair loss on the scalp. Unlike androgenetic alopecia, which occurs in specific patterns, diffuse alopecia can occur in any area of the scalp. The causes may include genetic, hormonal, nutritional, or health factors, and the treatment will depend on the underlying cause."
Teresa, 69 years old
Teresa has always loved the sea, and now that she has all the time in the world, she enjoys cruising from one cruise to another with her friends. She disconnects and discovers new places and things she could have never imagined, such as Integral Hair's hair integration systems as a solution for her diffuse alopecia.
Because Teresa hasn't lost vitality over the years, but she has lost the quantity and quality of her hair. And when one of her friends confessed her secret during one of those cruises, she didn't believe her. Such natural-looking hair couldn't be a hair integration system. That's why Teresa decided to visit a specialized center to experience it for herself.
Since Teresa's condition is not androgenetic alopecia female, we designed a Hair Volume System with a grayish tone and a texture as close as possible to her natural hair. We created a base of hair membrane and micro combs that allow her to use the system when needed, without having to wear it permanently. Now, Teresa can perform basic care routines at home, occasionally visiting her hair center for more in-depth care. She now proudly shows off her hair wherever she goes and couldn't be happier with the result. No one notices that she suffers from diffuse alopecia.
The case we present for Teresa is not real. It is an avatar or hypothetical case that illustrates the situation of thousands of users in similar situations.
The history of diffuse alopecia dates back to ancient Greece, where Hippocrates and other physicians described widespread hair loss in patients with systemic diseases. Currently, multiple causes of diffuse alopecia are recognized, and various treatment options are used to address them.
Diffuse Alopecia can progress gradually with hair loss throughout the scalp, or it can occur suddenly in patches or specific areas. The speed of progression will depend on the underlying cause and the individual patient's response to treatment.
Diffuse Alopecia can affect both men and women, and its prevalence increases with age. Causes can range from hormonal, nutritional, and health factors to exposure to toxic substances. Diffuse Alopecia can have a significant impact on the patient's quality of life and self-esteem.
Diffuse Alopecia can have various causes, including genetic and hormonal factors, systemic diseases, nutritional imbalances, and stress. It can also be caused by certain medications or medical treatments. It is important to diagnose the underlying cause to properly treat Diffuse Alopecia.
The treatment of Diffuse Alopecia depends on its underlying cause. In some cases, it may be necessary to treat a systemic disease or improve the patient's nutrition. Topical or systemic medications can be used, as well as laser and microneedle treatments to stimulate hair growth. For cases that require a more permanent solution, a hair integration system is advised. It is important to consult with a specialist to determine the best treatment option for each patient.
The hair industry offers temporary cosmetic solutions such as wigs, hairpieces, extensions, and scalp makeup to conceal hair loss in Diffuse Alopecia. Topical treatments and nutritional supplements can also be used to strengthen existing hair. However, it is recommended to consult with a specialist to determine the best option based on the degree of hair loss.
Yes, it is possible to combine dermatological treatments with the use of hair integration systems to treat Diffuse Alopecia. Many patients opt for this combination to improve their appearance and self-esteem. It is essential for dermatology and trichology specialists to collaborate with experts in hair integration systems to provide personalized solutions for each patient, taking into account the extent of their alopecia.
Hair transplantation is not a suitable solution for Diffuse Alopecia, as it involves widespread hair loss across the entire scalp. Dermatological treatments and hair integration systems can be more appropriate options for addressing this type of alopecia. It is important to consult with a specialist to determine the best treatment for each specific case.
