Traction Alopecia

Traction Alopecia is a common condition seen by dermatologists. It is best avoided by not placing long-term tension on your hair follicles
Often, in early stages, modifying hair care and the use of medications can reverse the hair loss. If the traction is at a later stage with permanent loss of hair, surgical correction via a hair transplant is an effective treatment option. The results of hair transplant surgery are natural and for most patients long-term.
