What Is Alopecia?

Alopecia is basically just the umbrella term for hair loss. It can pop up in weird ways maybe a couple of odd bald patches, maybe your hair slowly thinning everywhere, or sometimes the whole section just gives up altogether. And it’s not just the scalp hair can bail from other places too, without sticking to any predictable pattern. For some people it sneaks in bit by bit, and for others it feels like they woke up one morning and boom, it’s there. A mix of things can trigger it: genetics, hormones doing their own thing, stress piling up, autoimmune stuff, or even just not getting enough of the right nutrients.

At Modern Aestheticss Dermatology and Laser Clinic in Dubai, the approach is pretty straightforward: figure out what’s actually going on, then use advanced regenerative treatments to help the hair grow back stronger. And the best part? Most people don’t even need surgery for it, which definitely takes some pressure off.

 

Who Experiences Hair Loss & Why?

Hair loss is common in both men and women:

  • Nearly 50% of men show signs of hair thinning by age 50
  • Many women experience hormonal, stress-related, or postpartum shedding

 

Common causes include:

  • Hereditary pattern baldness (male & female)
  • Hormonal imbalances (PCOS, thyroid, menopause)
  • Nutritional deficiencies (iron, zinc, biotin, vitamin D)
  • Stress, illness, or medications
  • Autoimmune damage (e.g. alopecia areata)
  • Poor scalp circulation or inflammation

 

Understanding the cause is key to successful hair restoration.

Types of Alopecia We Treat

  • Male or female pattern baldness due to DHT hormone sensitivity
  • Gradual thinning, receding hairline, or widened part
  • Sudden patchy hair loss caused by autoimmune response
  • Temporary shedding after stress, illness, or hormonal shifts

Scalp Care & Lifestyle Tips

If you want, you can use a sulfate-free shampoo and wash your hair only two or three times a week usually two or three times are enough. Do not use heat styling too much or wear super-tight hairstyles; even brushing your hair roughly can make it worse without you realizing it. You must also be sure that you are getting enough iron, vitamin D, zinc, and biotin because these sneaky ones do matter.

 
 

Why You Need A Doctor's Consultation

  • Hair loss can be caused by internal health imbalances, autoimmune issues, or scalp diseases—making professional diagnosis critical. Many patients waste time and money on over-the-counter shampoos or ineffective “miracle oils.”

    At Modern Aestheticss Dermatology and Laser Clinic, our dermatologist will:

    • Accurately diagnose your type of alopecia
    • Identify contributing medical or nutritional issues
    • Customize a treatment plan for your scalp, your goals, your timeline
    Monitor results and adjust as needed for maximum regrowth

Specialist evaluation is essential for hair loss that doesn’t resolve on its own within 2–3 months.

Frequently Asked Question

Is alopecia reversible?

It depends on the type. Androgenetic hair loss can be slowed; alopecia areata and telogen effluvium often recover with early intervention. Scarring alopecia is usually permanent.

How soon will I see results?
  • PRP or exosome treatments: 8–12 weeks for early regrowth
  • Hair transplant: Shedding occurs by week 4; visible regrowth by months 3–6
Is PRP safe?

Yes. It uses your own blood, has minimal side effects, and is safe for long-term use when done by qualified professionals.

Can women get hair restoration treatments?

Absolutely. We treat hormonal, postpartum, and stress-induced hair loss in women using safe, tailored therapies.

Am I eligible for a hair transplant?

You may be eligible if you have localized bald spots and strong donor hair. Not advised for diffuse hair loss or autoimmune-related thinning.
