Density, vitality, regrowth.
Alopecia refers to reduced hair density or the loss of hair from an area. Age, hormones, deficiencies, toxic substances and other causes can be responsible. When more hairs fall out than grow back, density decreases locally or diffusely. Treatment depends above all on the diagnosis.
The most common diffuse hair loss occurs after childbirth (telogen effluvium). Seasonal shedding is another cause. Often reversible, these can take 6 months to 2 years to stabilise. Female alopecia can also be androgenetic, more diffuse than in men.
Possible approaches
A frequent reason for consultation: it affects a significant proportion of men from their twenties, and becomes more common with age.
Possible approaches
Depending on the diagnosis, the doctor may prescribe a topical or oral treatment, suited to women or men, to slow hair loss.
Possible approaches
Micro-injection mesotherapy and microneedling, PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and LED photobiostimulation stimulate microcirculation and follicles. Mesotherapy combined with LED is useful as long as functional follicles remain. The Rigenera technique uses your own cells to stimulate regrowth.
Possible approaches
When hair has disappeared from an area, a transplant (FUE or FUT techniques) is the only way to regain natural hair: hair taken from the back of the scalp is implanted in the thinning area. The doctor assesses with you whether it is appropriate.

Dr Zuzana Miniconi Orban, trained as a dermatologist, holds a university diploma in scalp pathology and surgical therapeutics (Pierre and Marie Curie University). She diagnoses your hair loss and designs the appropriate protocol.
Not in most cases. Postpartum hair loss is often reversible, sometimes completely, but it can take 6 months to 2 years to stabilise. A consultation checks that no other cause is involved.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) aims to slow hair loss and stimulate regrowth. Its value depends on the type of alopecia and on whether follicles are still active, which the diagnosis assesses.
It is a micro-graft technique using your own cells, collected and then reinjected into the scalp, to stimulate hair regrowth.
When the follicles of an area have disappeared, medical and regenerative treatments can no longer repopulate it: a transplant then becomes the only way to regain natural hair.
