Hair loss caused by androgenetic alopecia follows a predictable pattern:
- In men, hair loss typically begins at the frontal hairline and temples, followed by thinning at the crown. Over time, these areas may connect, creating the classic horseshoe pattern.
- In women, hair loss usually appears as diffuse thinning at the top of the scalp, while the frontal hairline is often preserved.
As the condition progresses, hair becomes:
Until follicles eventually stop producing visible hair.
The causes vary from patient to patient and may affect one or multiple facial areas. The most common include:
Facial alopecia is generally classified as non-scarring alopecia, meaning hair may regrow depending on follicle health and the underlying cause.
In most cases, incomplete beard growth is related to genetic patterns that determine hair thickness, density, and distribution. While shaving is often believed to stimulate growth, there is no scientific evidence that shaving increases follicle density or hair thickness.
If facial follicles are weak or underdeveloped, hair may remain sparse unless medically evaluated and treated.
If you have areas on your face or eyebrows where hair does not grow or has progressively thinned, a professional evaluation is recommended. Identifying the underlying cause is essential to determine whether medical treatment or hair transplant surgery is the most appropriate solution.
Unlike beard or scalp hair loss, eyebrow alopecia is particularly difficult to conceal. Eyebrows are a defining facial feature and play a central role in non-verbal communication.
Well-designed eyebrows help:
Facial alopecia may resolve spontaneously in some cases; however, recurrence is possible. A medical evaluation is required to determine whether treatment should be:
At Hair Medical Restoration, facial alopecia cases are evaluated individually to determine the most appropriate approach.
When medical treatment is insufficient or ineffective, hair transplant using advanced techniques can restore eyebrow density with natural direction and design.
Traction alopecia usually develops gradually and may present with the following signs:
Early detection is essential, as follicles may recover if tension is removed in time.
Traction alopecia can often be prevented by adopting hair care practices that minimize tension and stress on the scalp. When detected early, medical treatments may help stimulate natural regrowth.
In cases where follicles have been permanently damaged, hair transplant surgery can be considered as a long-term solution, restoring hair to affected areas using healthy follicles from donor regions.
Hair loss in scarring alopecia is driven by an inflammatory process in which immune cells damage the follicles. Clinically, it is classified into three main types:
Identifying the inflammatory pattern is essential for determining whether medical treatment can stabilize the condition before considering surgical options.
Alopecia areata has an autoimmune origin. The body’s own defenses cause inflammation around the hair follicle, leading to hair shedding. The exact trigger is unknown, but genetic predisposition plays an important role, and stress is often identified as a contributing factor.
Its evolution is unpredictable. Hair may regrow spontaneously within months, remain stable for years, or present cycles of loss and regrowth. Medical treatment can help control inflammation and stimulate regrowth, although recurrence is possible once treatment is stopped.
Treatment is primarily medical, and surgical options may be considered only in selected, stable cases.
This type of alopecia occurs when bacteria or fungi infect the scalp or skin, damaging the hair follicle and disrupting normal growth. If left untreated, the inflammation can lead to permanent follicle damage.
A proper medical diagnosis is essential. In many cases, a culture or biopsy is required to identify the infection accurately.
Treatment usually begins with targeted medical therapy. Once the infection is fully controlled and the area is stable, hair transplantation may be considered if permanent hair loss remains.
Chemotherapy and radiotherapy can cause hair loss by affecting rapidly dividing cells, including hair follicles. In many patients, hair regrows naturally once treatment ends. However, in some cases, follicular damage may be long-lasting.
After medical clearance and once the condition is stable, hair transplant surgery using the FUE technique may be an option to restore hair in affected areas, offering a minimally invasive approach with natural results.
