Massive Trauma Alopecia

Description

Massive trauma alopecia, also known as "scarring alopecia," "cicatricial alopecia," or "scarring hair loss," is a severe condition where a large area of the scalp permanently loses its ability to grow hair due to serious injury, burns, or repeated trauma. Unlike regular hair thinning or bald spots, this type of hair loss creates a visibly smooth, bald patch where hair follicles have been destroyed and replaced by scar tissue, often leaving a non-hair-bearing area that can only be restored through surgical methods such as tissue advancement or scalp reduction. This condition can result from accidents, surgery, or long-term tension from tight hairstyles, and it can deeply affect both appearance and self-confidence. Advanced hair restoration procedures—like those offered in South Korea—are designed to bring back a natural, fuller look by moving healthy scalp tissue to cover the damaged area, providing hope and a new boost of confidence for those struggling with significant hair loss from massive trauma.
