Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia

Description

Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA), sometimes called postmenopausal frontal fibrosing alopecia or patterned lichen planopilaris of the scalp, is a type of scarring hair loss that causes a distinctive, band-like recession of the frontotemporal hairline. This condition most commonly affects women after menopause, but can impact anyone, leading to gradual thinning, loss of eyebrows, and sometimes small bald patches that look pale or shiny. FFA is a form of cicatricial alopecia—meaning the hair loss is permanent due to scarring—making early diagnosis and treatment important for preserving hair. If you are noticing pronounced hair loss along your hairline, changes in texture, or a receding band at the front of your scalp, it may be due to frontal fibrosing alopecia. South Korea offers advanced solutions and expert care for addressing this particular type of hairline recession, helping restore both your appearance and confidence.
