Overview
The aim of secondary prevention of alopecia is to stop progression and improve the chances of hair regrowth. This is achieved by treatment of underlying conditions, medications, and removal of any offending agents.
Secondary Prevention
- Goal of treatment is to avoid future hair loss. Medications, if used, should be continued as stoppage will cause hair loss to resume.
- Scarring hair loss prevents hair from going back.
- Wigs and hair transplants
- Anagen effluvium
- Telogen effluvium
- Stress the recovery is normal
- Treat underlying cause of alopecia
- Hypothermia caps: This may help to prevent hair loss during some kinds of chemotherapy, specifically when tazanes or anthracyclines are used.[1] It should not be used when cancer has metastasized to the skin of the scalp or for lymphoma or leukemia.[2] There are generally only minor side effects from treatment.[3]
- Acceptance: Some people, including celebrities, choose to accept their hair loss or completely shave their heads. Examples of celebrities who are bald include Michael Jordan, [4] Zinedine Zidane, [5] Dwayne Johnson,[6] Ben Kingsley,[7] and Jason Statham.[8]
