Scarring Alopecia

Scarring Alopecia, also known as Cicatricial Alopecia, is a permanent hair loss condition caused by inflammation that destroys hair follicles and replaces them with scar tissue. Unlike other forms of hair loss, hair does not regrow naturally because the follicles are irreversibly damaged. The condition can affect both men and women and may occur due to autoimmune disorders, infections, or trauma to the scalp. At A9 Clinic, we offer specialized treatments to reduce inflammation, restore scalp health, and stimulate new hair growth in surrounding areas.

Causes of Scarring Alopecia

  • Autoimmune Disorders – The immune system attacks hair follicles, causing inflammation and scarring
  • Scalp Infections – Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections can damage follicles permanently.
  • Severe Inflammation – Chronic scalp inflammation leads to tissue damage and scarring
  • Trauma or Injury – Burns, wounds, or excessive pulling can damage follicles irreversibly
  • Radiation or Medical Treatments – Some medical procedures, like radiation therapy, can cause permanent hair loss
