Alopecia

What can a Trichologist and/or Dermotrichologist help you with?

Our main focus is finding the root cause of your hair and scalp problems. If your doctor hasn't solved your issues or you prefer natural therapies over medications, we can help. We specialize in alopecia treatment, from chronic thinning to genetic hair loss, and also address itchy, flaky, or sensitive scalps. We offer effective alopecia therapy and solutions for common concerns like:

• Androgenetic Alopecia: Commonly known as male or female pattern baldness, this is the most prevalent form of hair loss, caused by a combination of genetics and hormones.

• Alopecia Areata: An autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, causing round, smooth patches of hair loss on the scalp and other areas of the body.

• Alopecia Totalis: An advanced form of alopecia areata that results in the complete loss of all hair on the scalp.

• Alopecia Universalis: The most extreme form of alopecia areata, causing the loss of all hair on the scalp and body, including eyebrows, eyelashes, and pubic hair.

• Scarring (Cicatricial) Alopecia: A group of rare disorders that destroy hair follicles, replacing them with scar tissue. Hair loss is permanent because the follicle cannot regrow.

• Traction Alopecia: Hair loss caused by persistent pulling or tension on the hair follicles, often from tight hairstyles like braids, ponytails, or extensions.

• Telogen Effluvium: A temporary form of hair loss that occurs when a large number of hair follicles prematurely enter the resting (telogen) phase, usually triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes.

• Anagen Effluvium: Hair loss that occurs during the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle, most commonly caused by chemotherapy or radiation treatment.

• Ophiasis: A specific pattern of alopecia areata where hair loss occurs in a wave-like shape around the sides and back of the scalp.
