Glossaryearly intervention

timely identification and treatment of initial disease stages

Early intervention refers to the timely identification and treatment of a condition or disease at its initial stages. In the context of hair and alopecia, it means addressing hair loss as soon as the first signs appear, which can significantly improve the chances of slowing or reversing the condition. This approach often involves medical evaluations, lifestyle changes, and possibly medications or therapies to prevent further progression.
