Abstract
Alopecia is a condition characterized by hair loss, encompassing various types including alopecia areata, androgenetic alopecia, and cicatricial alopecia. These types are associated with diverse causes such as genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, and immune system dysfunction. However, knowledge regarding the precise mechanisms leading to the development of alopecia and the most effective treatments tailored to its various forms remains incomplete.This article explores the causes, types, and modern treatment approaches for alopecia. The research reviews recent scientific advances in diagnostic and treatment methods for alopecia, including both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Studies have shown that treatments such as corticosteroids, immunotherapy, and hair transplantation can yield significant results, but they are not always effective and have limitations depending on the patient’s individual characteristics.The results highlight the need to develop personalized treatment approaches tailored to the type and causes of alopecia. At the same time, it is important to conduct further research to delve deeper into the immunological and genetic bases of alopecia. This scientific work provides the necessary scientific foundation to improve treatment outcomes associated with alopecia and to develop effective treatment methods for patients.
