Glossary Secondary Cicatricial Alopecia

hair loss from scarring due to external injury or condition

Secondary Cicatricial Alopecia refers to hair loss that occurs due to scarring from an external injury or condition, such as burns, infections, or surgical procedures. This type of alopecia results in permanent hair loss because the hair follicles are destroyed and replaced by scar tissue.

autoimmune disorder causing patchy hair loss

learn GHK-Cu

Heard alopecia areata leaves scar-like spots? Some peptides are helping those areas regrow hair. Alopecia areata patches usually still have living follicles. Peptides are being studied as a possible add-on, but the evidence is small and early. See a dermatologist for treatment.

learn Centella
