Types of Alopecia we treat

Androgenetic hair loss (AKA male pattern baldness or female pattern hair loss)

This is the most prevalent type of hair loss in both men and women. It occurs when hair gradually becomes thinner, shorter, and less pigmented over time.

Symptoms:
The symptoms of androgenetic hair loss differ between men and women.

male hair loss treatment
In men, it typically starts with a receding hairline, followed by thinning at the crown of the head.
Over time, these areas may merge, leading to partial or complete baldness.


women hair loss treatment
Women usually experience diffuse hair thinning across the top of the scalp, which is often less severe than in men.

Alopecia Areata

Alopecia AreataThis is the most prevalent type of hair loss in both men and women. It occurs when hair gradually becomes thinner, shorter, and less pigmented over time.

This is characterized by round or oval patches of hair loss on the scalp or other parts of the body. In some cases, complete hair loss (alopecia totalis) or loss of all body hair (alopecia universalis) may occur.

The exact cause of alopecia areata is still unknown, but it is believed to be an autoimmune condition.

While some topicals can help; for severe cases we recommend seeing your local dermatology provider for an in-person visit.

Traction Alopecia
Traction Alopecia

Traction alopecia is caused by repetitive pulling or tension on the hair. This is commonly associated with hairstyles that involve tight ponytails, braids, or hair extensions.

Over time, the constant tension weakens the hair follicles, leading to hair breakage and loss.

Telogen Effluvium

Telogen EffluviumTelogen effluvium is characterized by excessive hair shedding and thinning; oftentimes it’s triggered by factors such as physical or emotional stress, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, medications, or underlying medical conditions.

It occurs when a significant number of hair follicles enter the resting phase (telogen) prematurely, resulting in increased hair loss.

acne treatment topical medication

Dutasteride

  • Lowers DHT production at the scalp (a hormone that causes hair follicles to shrink and stop producing hair); this maintains the size of hair follicles and prevents further damage to hair follicles

Finasteride

  • Targets Type II 5-alpha-reductase enzyme to also reduce DHT production at the scalp, slowing down hair thinning and promoting hair growth.

Fluocinolone

  • Helps to reduce inflammation in the scalp for inflammatory hair loss conditions (Alopecia Areata) and to reduce irritation from other topical hair loss medications.

Ketoconazole

  • Has anti-inflammatory properties to create a healthier scalp environment and disrupts the DHT pathway to slow down hair loss.

Minoxidil (OM)

  • Extends the active growth of hair follicles to promote thicker, longer hair strands, enhances blood flow to the scalp, and strengthens hair follicles.

Progesterone

  • Helps balance hormonal levels and reduce the impact of DHT on hair follicles to slow down hair thinning, promote hair regrowth, and improve the overall health of the hair in women

Spironolactone

Tretinoin

  • Helps to regulate cell proliferation and differentiation for hair growth promotion and works synergistically with minoxidil.
