What is cicatricial alopecia?
Cicatricial alopecia refers to a group of rare hair loss disorders that cause permanent destruction of hair follicles through inflammation and subsequent scarring.
This type of alopecia is less common but more severe, often requiring early diagnosis and medical management to preserve remaining hair and minimize damage.
Although red light therapy may not reverse scarring, it can help reduce inflammation and slow the progression of cicatricial alopecia when used in conjunction with clinical treatments.
