Understanding Alopecia

Hair loss is a common problem that affects millions of men, women, and children. For some people hair loss is temporary but for countless others hair loss is a persistent problem that seems to have no end. While people experience hair loss for a variety of reasons, the most common cause of hair loss is Alopecia. While Alopecia describes loss of hair from areas where hair normally grows. It comes in a variety of patterns with a variety of causes.

Alopecia Areata (AA)

Alopecia Areata is a common autoimmune disorder that occurs when the immune system of the body targets the hair follicles and disturbs the natural hair growth and formation. With Alopecia Areata, hair falls out leaving small smooth bald patches on the scalp.   

Alopecia Totalis (AT)

Alopecia Totallis is an autoimmune disorder that results in the total loss of hair, but only on the scalp. Just like with AA, this condition occurs when the immune system starts attacking the hair follicles.   

Alopecia Universalis (AU)

Alopecia Universalis is an autoimmune disorder and the most advanced type of Alopecia. This condition results in the total hair loss all over the body, including eyebrows, eyelashes, and nasal cavity. It’s especially important for those with this condition to take extra care to protect themselves from the sun, bacteria and other potentially harmful elements.

Alopecia Barbae

Alopecia barbae is a form of Alopecia Areata that is localized to the beard area. It can be a single bald patch or more extensive hair loss across the whole of the beard area. While the exact cause of this condition is still unknown, studies indicate that heredity and autoimmune diseases might play a factor.

Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA)

Androgenetic Alopecia, more commonly known as Male & Female Pattern Baldness, is the most common form of hair loss in both men and women. For men who experience male pattern baldness their hairline recedes causing an “M” shape to form. Their hair also thins near the top of their head causing partial or complete baldness. For women who experience female pattern baldness their hair becomes thinner all over the head, but the hairline does not recede. Women who experience Androgenetic Alopecia rarely go completely bald. Researchers have found that a variety of genetic and environmental factors likely play a role in causing Androgenetic Alopecia.

Scarring Alopecias (Cicatricial Alopecias)

The term "Cicatricial Alopecias" refers to a diverse group of rare disorders that destroy the hair follicle, replace it with scar tissue, and cause permanent hair loss. While the cause of this condition is not well understood, what is known, is that redness, heat, pain, or swelling occurs at the upper part of the hair follicle.

Traction Alopecia

Traction Alopecia is a type of hair loss that occurs over time and is caused by putting the hair under constant strain or tension. The constant tension in the affected area either pulls out the hairs' roots completely, or causes the follicles to become inflamed. Over time the damage to the follicles can cause them to waste away or stop producing hair all together. This condition is most commonly found in people with ponytails or cornrows who pull on their hair with excessive force.

IHRS – Testimonials

Nothing says exceptional customer service like great reviews and testimonials from actual clients, so we've decided to share some much appreciated reviews from real clients of IHRS. Keep reading to see how IHRS has helped these clients and can help you in your journey to hair restoration too!

Dear IHRS,
“Thank you, thank you for all your help with my five-year-old son Brian. I cannot believe the difference in his behavior at school since he got his hair replacement. This has made such an improvement in his self-esteem.

I must admit I was hesitant about my search for a solution to his hair loss which was caused by his accident. I was fearful that I would not be able to find a suitable solution to Brian's baldness at such a young age.

As you know, children are cruel. I did not want to risk Brian being in a situation where his hair replacement would come off, especially on the playground.  Also, I could not imagine how anyone could match up the fine texture of his hair.

You had the answers to all my questions and erased any doubts I had about hair replacement systems. You furnished us with a wonderful natural-looking, low-maintenance, secure, and incredibly handsome system.

Again, thank you. I hope that we have given you something back by letting you know how genuinely happy you have made us.”- Kathy S.
(Brian's Mother)

Dear IHRS,
“My scalp would get sun burned easily. Once my friend took a picture of me and I could not believe how thin my hair had gotten. I knew I had to do something about it.
With ReAllusions I can wear any style, any way I want to: long, short, and color too.”
-  Julie, Age 38 

Dear IHRS,
“I remember waking up one morning, looking in the mirror and realizing that my hair was never going to grow back. As a stylist, I wouldn't settle for anything that might look unnatural. That's why I was picky!

Thank goodness I took my time and found you. My life has definitely changed for the better. I can relax on the weekend, enjoy my photography and not worry about people bringing up my hair loss. I would recommend this to anybody with a hair loss problem!” - Paul C., Age 24

It gives you a full head of hair that is evenly distributed across the scalp and there are no ridges or bumps. IHRS's Premier Hair Replacement is the most natural-looking, easily maintained prosthesis available today and unlike surgical techniques, it doesn’t require a "donor" area.

Men’s Hair Loss

Over 50 million men suffer from the devastating effects of hair loss in the U.S. alone. While factors such as stress, medications, poor diet, and even lack of sleep can cause men to lose their hair, the largest influence is genetics.

Androgenetic Alopecia, more commonly known as Male Pattern Baldness is the most common cause of hair loss in men. Male pattern baldness is usually caused by increased sensitivity to male sex hormones in certain parts of the scalp and is passed from one family member to the next. This means you inherited hair follicles that suffer from dihydrotestosterone or DHT for short, these hair follicles shrink until the follicles stop producing hair.

According to the American Hair Loss Association, male pattern baldness is responsible for approximately 95% of men’s hair loss. About 25% of men who suffer from male pattern baldness will start to experience hair loss before they reach the age of 21. Nearly two-thirds of American men will experience some form of visible hair loss by the age of 35 and by the age of 50 approximately 85% of men have significantly thinning hair. See the diagram below.

Male pattern baldness is identified by the pattern of hair loss. The typical pattern of male baldness begins at the hairline, and gradually recedes until forming an "M" shape. Eventually the hair becomes finer, shorter, and thinner, creating a u-shaped ring of hair that wraps around the back of the head.

While male pattern baldness is usually diagnosed based on appearance, your hair loss could be caused by many other reasons.
