Abstract:

Alopecia is the scientific name for hair loss, which can be frequent for men and many women, especially in midlife. There are different conditions, though, grouped together in this definition, as androgenetic alopecia, cicatricial alopecias, alopecia areata and traction alopecia, for example. Anyhow, all of them can have a devastating emotional effect, especially for the female population, so baldness cures advertised as magical remedies and procedures are very popular, even more when expecting from the surgical approach for alopecia. As specialized physicians, is our obligation to face our patient’s doubts seriously and lead them to the correct alopecia treatments, mainly the surgical one. In this lecture, we’ll discuss this myths and truths with the concepts of evidence-based medicine for the surgical approach of alopecia.
