Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s own immune system attacks the body. There are several different symptoms – and one of them is hair loss.

SLE is a chronic inflammatory disease in which the immune system attacks its own body. Most often the joints, skin, kidneys and blood become inflamed, but the nervous system, heart and lungs can also be affected.

SLE can cause a variety of symptoms, and one of the symptoms that some people experience is hair loss. The reason why hair loss can occur in SLE is because the body has an ongoing inflammation.

In the case of inflammation, the body may stop producing hair as it sees it as unimportant and focuses instead on healing. This is why you may start to suffer from hair loss in SLE.

For people with SLE, hair loss can look different and differ between individuals. Some people get thinning hair while others get bald patches.

PRP treatment for hair loss

If you are one of those who have suffered from hair loss due to SLE, rest assured that help is available. PRPtreatments help to combat hair loss and increase hair growth.

PRP is a treatment in which your own blood plasma is injected into the scalp, which makes it completely natural and no side effects or allergies can occur.

PRP är en behandling där ens egen blodplasma injiceras i hårbotten, vilket gör att den är helt naturlig och inga biverkningar eller allergier kan uppstå. All treatments with us start with a free consultation.

During the consultation, we will examine your hair with a microcamera and work out together what your next step should be.
