The online live component will include presentations, panel discussion, and audience participation via verbal questions and discussion, typing chat Q&A and polling
Professional Practice Gap
To give a correct diagnosis of the hair loss disorders, hair pathology is necessary as an important fundamental. Scalp biopsy is necessary to evaluate scarring alopecia and other non-scarring alopecia. There are several evidences to support a role for vitamins and micronutrients in non-scarring alopecia.
In this webinar, the role of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, iron, selenium, and zinc, in non-scarring alopecia will be summarized. Hair care products are also helpful to treat the hair shaft disorders and promote the healthy look of hair. Finally, in the COVID era, there are several reports of telogen effluvium after infection and it is thought to involve more rigorously patients with androgenetic alopecia. The updated data regarding this topic will be presented in the webinar.
Educational Needs
Knowledge of hair pathology is essential for successful hair specialists, as it helps in the diagnosis of hair loss disorders. Specifically, physicians must understand the pathological findings of common hair disorders, for example, alopecia areata, lichen planopilaris, lupus erythematosus, and other scarring alopecia. Giving a correct diagnosis leads to successful treatment planning. Performing hair transplant in the active scarring alopecia might cause poor growth and subsequent loss of transplanted hairs. Physicians also require knowledge of hair vitamin supplements as an adjunctive treatment to medical and surgical treatment of alopecia. There are several studies supporting the role of vitamins and micronutrients in non-scarring alopecia. In addition, hair care products are also helpful to treat hair shaft disorders and promote the healthy look of hair. Finally, in the COVID era, there are several reports of telogen effluvium after infection and it is thought to involve more rigorously patients with androgenetic alopecia.
