Hair loss caused by a disruption in the hair growth cycle or damage to hair follicles.
What is it?
Hair thinning and alopecia are often due to inherited traits, hormonal disruptions, infections and the natural aging process. They can also be linked to conditions like eating disorders, thyroid disorders and diabetes.
Alopecia, in essence, is an autoimmune response where the body's immune system inappropriately targets hair follicles. The early signs usually involve the development of minor round bald patches on the scalp, which may be accompanied by itching for some individuals. Complete hair loss generally takes place over 6 months.
We offer treatment for all types of hair loss, including alopecia, at our offices in Batavia, Beavercreek, Bridgetown, Cincinnati, Dayton, Dent, Greenville, Hillsboro, Kettering, Mason, Montgomery, Oxford, Troy, West Chester and Wilmington, Ohio.
How is it treated?
While there isn't a total cure for alopecia, there are treatments to help. For some individuals, steroid injections and topical therapies can prove beneficial. Recently, breakthrough treatments for hair loss have been developed by dermatologists, enhancing the likelihood of hair regrowth even if previous treatments have failed. JAK inhibitor prescription medications aim at the inflammation leading to hair loss and have demonstrated significant effectiveness for numerous patients.
Treatments typically deliver gradual results and can be optimized with periodic check-ins with your dermatologist to monitor progress.
