Can scarring alopecia be stopped?

Alopecia, a condition of hair loss, can come in different forms. One of the worst types of alopecia is scarring alopecia which not only results in permanent hair loss but also affects the scalp’s health and its ability to regenerate lost hair follicles. The constant itchiness and burning sensations coupled with visible bald patches can be quite heartbreaking for those affected by this nightmare.

Scarring alopecia is a condition that plagues many individuals globally, making it necessary to find ways to stop further progression. This article explains scarring alopecia and how one could stop it from taking over your scalp any further than it already has.

What is Scarring Alopecia?

In simple terms, scarring alopecia refers to conditions where inflammation leads to irreversible damage resulting in the destruction or degeneration of skin tissue beneath the scalp surface.

This impairment causes perpetual hair follicle damage beyond repair leading eventually plantigrade; leaving you looking like an oil spill victim on water — shiny forehead with all traces of hairs gone except eyebrows (don’t worry they don’t fall out).

Causes Of Scaring Alopcia

The cause(s) behind why one could develop such an extreme form of scorching-baldness remains unknown.However,some researchers suggest that genetics play a vital role as well as environmental factors (they almost always get off easy even though they are guilty most times) like bacterial infections,guna-gana(Golkonda district tea shop term for zero jobs and everyday people),viruses,insect bites etc.Also believe or not,the chemicals applied while perming,hair coloring..etc cannot be ruled out too!

The atmosphere today leaves me confused about what really constitutes danger- Is shampoo going down my throat dangerous? Or should I put on a gas mask each time I go shopping at Target?

Signs That You Are Suffering From Scarring Alopecia?

With scarring alopecia, hair loss is no longer temporary; it is permanent. As a result of the inflammation that deprives hair follicles of oxygen and nutrients needed for its growth, they die out and don’t regenerate.

Possible indications that may signify you are suffering from this severe form of baldness include:

  • Scalp Itching
  • The formation of bumps present at the scalp’s surface
  • Severe burning sensations or persistent heat on your head.

How To Stop Scaring Alopecia

Scalp Microneedling Therapy (SMT), Platelet Rich Plasma therapy(PRP) and Stem Cell therapy(SCT)!
These techniques have shown positive results in most cases with stopping further progressions while being cost-effective too.

What Is Scalp Microneedling Therapy(SMT)?

Microneedling treatment involves puncturing small needles into one’s scalp to prick micro-injuries onto it.This process will stimulate blood flow(shoutout to preworkout supplements for their role in dilating blood vessels! ), causing an increase in nutrient levels, thus stimulating hair growth. Therefore microneeding can help reverse hair thinning by encouraging a physical response from one’s body- Hair regrowth stimulation!

When Can Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)Be Used For Treatment?

Platelet-rich plasma focuses on using Emory-grade platelets plucked from your own arm allowing extraction of proteins injected directly into your scalp affected areas to speed up cell development.Thus,you get rid(yes!!)of those frustratingly bald patches which made you resemble a crazy scientist because everyone knows scientists are bespectacled,bald and usually unfunny or dull.

Stem Cell Therapy to Help Regrow Your Hair Follicles

This innovative approach involves harvesting stem cells either via bone marrow(stay calm here,it ain’t so scary though dramatic) or fat tissues through liposuction(look like a Kardashian and get stem cells all in one package!).

These harvested Stem Cells will then be reinjected into your scalp where damaged follicles are located. Over time, the new hair grows back as the stem cells stimulate it at its roots, growing faster than before.

Preventive Measures Against Scarring Alopecia

While we have gone through ways to combat scarring alopecia during its onset stage/reversing progress even(post-baldness phase),it is essential that preventive measures also be put in place,some of these tips include:

  • Not using chemicals on your hair frequently . If you must use them periodcally apply minimal amounts for shorter duration.
  • Wear protective headgear when engaging in physical activities
  • Going natural with an organic diet full of vitamins and minerals
  • Proper hygiene — Shower more often to keep bad bacteria from getting settled

In Conclusion,

Scaring alopecia can halt life if not treated early; Therefore,it’s necessary to identify any symptoms early enough so as precent further progression.

Thanks for reading till now,hopefully,you were entertained along while being informed too- Shouldn’t everything you consume online teach/tickle your laughing bone?

P.S :Remember,the brighter side(funny tone!) is if god forbid bald patches become prominent,you wouldn’t waste money styling/braiding those longer strands that could’ve been there because they would no longer BE THEREEE!
