Read Before You Consider Steroids For Scarring Alopecia

Receiving a diagnosis for this intense inflammatory condition can be incredibly overwhelming. Searching online for pictures of lichen planopilaris on scalp tissue usually only heightens this anxiety, revealing stark bare patches and severe redness. The severe itching and burning are not just uncomfortable physical lichen planopilaris symptoms; they indicate an active immune attack that is systematically destroying your follicles.

Unlike temporary shedding, this severe inflammation results in permanent scarring hair loss. While medical professionals will prescribe strong topical steroids to extinguish the active burning across your lichen planopilaris affected scalp, clinical treatments cannot revive follicles that have already scarred over into smooth tissue. Once the medical flareup is finally under control, you are still left having to figure out how to manage the visible bare patches.

Finding a safe way to conceal these smooth areas is incredibly difficult because your surrounding skin remains highly reactive. Traditional heavy wigs or clip extensions create dangerous friction that can easily trigger another painful flareup. We solve this by securing a weightless, custom built foundation over the damaged zones. It allows maximum airflow to your sensitive skin without relying on harsh glues or pulling on your remaining hair.

Our bespoke integration delicately bridges the gaps left by the scarring, seamlessly blending premium hair with your natural volume for a completely flawless look. You do not have to just accept the visible damage left behind by inflammation. Reach out to our Cardiff clinic to schedule a private consultation so we can design a secure, entirely undetectable system that safely restores your appearance.
