Alopecia is the name given to the condition of hair loss which affects many people and often occurs in otherwise healthy individuals at any age. This is especially true of Alopecia Ariata which is probably the most common form and starts as a small area of hair loss which often goes unnoticed. However, the problem can worsen and, in severe cases, the whole scalp can be affected. The cause is believed to be an auto-immune disorder which attacks hair follicles. If the condition is detected at an early stage, its effect can very often be minimised.

Treatments

There are more than half a dozen other forms of alopecia or hair loss and A&A offers a number of approaches to achieve the best way forward for you. If treatment isn’t the answer, you can choose from subtle hair additions, volumising pieces or partial wigs. If necessary, a full cover ready-to-wear or custom-made unit might be an option. These are available in real or synthetic hair.
