What Is Scarring Alopecia?
Scarring alopecia is a serious form of hair loss caused by inflammation that destroys the hair follicles and replaces them with scar tissue. This condition can develop gradually, with subtle signs like increased shedding, scalp tenderness, or a burning sensation. Or it can appear more suddenly, affecting patches of the scalp where the hair fails to grow back. There are several types of scarring alopecia, but one of the most common types we treat at Hair Again Certified Hair Loss Specialist is CCCA (central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia), which often affects African-American women, starting at the crown of the head and spreading outward. Our certified trichologist, Nadia Hughes, is committed to helping individuals struggling with scarring alopecia, specializing in holistic care and nonsurgical treatments designed to restore comfort and confidence. If you suffer from scarring alopecia, especially CCCA, and haven't achieved the results you want from other treatments, schedule a consultation with our hair loss team in San Antonio, TX to discover how we can help.
How Do You Treat Scarring Alopecia?
We'll begin with a thorough consultation and scalp analysis to determine the type of alopecia and how far it's progressed. We'll also use our clinic's diagnostic machines to identify signs of inflammation, follicle damage, and other contributing factors, such as nutritional deficiencies or hormone imbalances. In many cases, the first step in treating scarring alopecia is biofilm removal, a topical treatment designed to break down built-up bacteria and fungi that can accumulate on the scalp, allowing it to breathe and heal. From there, we may recommend products to use at home to help reduce sensitivity and soothe the skin. Each patient gets a unique treatment plan based on their scalp condition, stage of hair loss, and overall health, ensuring your approach is designed to fit your needs.
