Hair Loss & Bald Spots
Both men and women can suffer from hair loss. It can affect you generally, or even in particular patterns. There can be hormonal and genetic factors, or even periods of stress can cause increased hair shedding. At Dermatology Arts, we can help you better understand your hair loss and affordably receive nutritional supplementation to have great hair health. Depending on your specific pattern of hair loss, we can also add topical or systemic treatments. If you have had laboratory work done, please bring a printed copy of those results for our providers, or upload them to the Clinical Patient Portal so we can review them in advanced of your appointment.
Androgenetic Alopecia
A genetic type of male or female pattern baldness. Men typically have thinning hair to the crown and at the temples. Women typically have thinning hair on the top and crown of their head. We use a variety of treatments for androgenetic alopecia, including Rogaine, finasteride, spironolactone, and oral minoxidil.
Traction Alopecia
This form of hair thinning and hair loss occurs in those who wear their hair in styles & fashions that pull the hair tight, such as braids or pigtails.
Alopecia Areata
This type of hair loss appears as circular bald patches, usually on the head but can also occur on the eyebrows, beard, and body. A variant called Alopecia Universalis results in the total loss of hair, including your eyebrows and body hair. This condition is rare.
Telogen Effluvium
A relatively sudden form of hair loss where hair seems to be lost by the handful. This is often a temporary condition brought on by stress or shock.
