Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Trichology

Background:

  • Hair loss, encompassing effluvium and alopecias, presents challenges in diagnosis and treatment.
  • Understanding the distinction between non-scarring and scarring alopecias is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the classification, diagnosis, and recent therapeutic advancements in hair loss disorders.
  • To highlight the importance of scalp biopsy in suspected scarring alopecia.

Main Methods:

  • Morphological criteria for classifying alopecias.
  • Review of current pharmacotherapy (minoxidil, finasteride) and surgical options (hair transplantation).
  • Emphasis on standardized efficacy evaluation for hair growth agents.

Main Results:

  • Non-scarring alopecias are hair cycling disorders, while scarring alopecias involve irreversible follicular destruction.
  • Scalp biopsy aids in diagnosing suspected scarring alopecia.
  • Effective pharmacotherapies and hair transplantation technologies are available for common hair loss disorders.

Conclusions:

  • Recent scientific advances have improved the understanding and treatment of hair loss.
  • Standardized evaluation methods are essential for assessing treatment efficacy.
  • Addressing the psychological impact of hair loss is increasingly recognized.
