Other hair loss conditions

At The Hairology Centre, we know that hair loss has many forms, and so should its treatment. We diagnose over 20 types of hair loss with expert precision, offering discreet, personalised care at every step.  

Here are some of the lesser-known but serious conditions we treat with experience and empathy. 

Central Centrifugal Cicatricial alopecia is a chronic and progressive type of scarring alopecia caused by the immune system, leading to permanent hair thinning that begins at the crown and gradually spreads outward. Early diagnosis is key to managing progression and tailoring suitable hair loss treatments.

Lichen Pilanopilaris is a scarring hair loss condition caused by lichen planus, where the immune system attacks hair-bearing skin, leading to permanent hair loss. Prompt intervention with targeted hair loss medication in the UK can help slow or stabilise its effects. 

Frontal fibrosing alopecia affects the frontal hairline, causing it to recede due to inflammation and follicle destruction by the immune system. With discreet and specialist treatment plans, we help patients manage this condition and protect remaining hair.

Pseudoplade of Brocq is a slow-moving, chronic condition marked by scarring hair loss, usually on the mid-scalp. While it may seem rare, our expert consultations ensure every condition is approached with precision and understanding. 

Traction alopecia occurs from prolonged pulling of the hair due to tight hairstyles like braiding or weaving, leading to bald patches. If caught early, we offer supportive solutions, to prevent permanent damage and encourage regrowth.

Trichotillomania, also known as “hair-pulling disorder,” is a type of impulse control disorder where one pulls the hair out. This can also happen to the eyebrows and eyelashes when one pulls them out.

Every treatment we recommend, whether it’s trusted hair loss medication in the UK or other hair treatment options, we only recommend what’s right for you, when you’re ready. No pressure, no gimmicks, just expert care you can count on.
