Most of the people who were diagnosed with alopecia have, as first severe psychological consequence, self-esteem problems. It is common knowledge that our imageās changes help to form what in psychology is called āself-conceptā, that is nothing other than the concept we have of ourselves and that cracks when alopecia appears.

Although this is not always the case, some people suffering from alopecia, consider it as a disabling problem by affecting their social relationships to the point of causing stress, anxiety and, in the worst cases, depression that should be treated as soon as possible. .
What is most positive is that the problemās solution goes hand in hand, as almost always, with science and its advancements. And, today, who is bald is ‘because he wants it’, since there are many treatments to strengthen hair, stop the fall and, most importantly, to transform the bald spots in areas covered with hair follicles .
That is what is achieved through interventions such as the capillary micrograft through the FUE technique, stem cell treatments or capillary mesotherapy, depending on the case of each patient and that end, in 100% of the cases, with recovering the scalp of those who, for one reason or another, have lost their hair.
